To the American Demand Entirely Salts
factory to Mr.. Gresham.
New YORK, March 1s.-The Recorder
to-day published the following dis
patches from Washington, d. c.:
''Spain has replied to Gresham's de-
mand. A dispatch was received to-
night that. SO far as it goes, is en-
tirely satisfactory to the United
States. 1t is response to the last
part of Secretary Gresham's dispatch
in which he insists that immediate
and positive orders be given to Span
ish naval commanders not to inter
fere with legitimate American COM
merce passing through that
channell and prohibiting all acts wan
tonly imperilling life and property
lawfully under the flag of the United
States
THAT part of the dispatch which re-
fers to the firing upon the Alliance is,
reserved for future reply, after an in
vestigation by Spain into the circum--.
stances that surround it.
There is no doubt that in the minds
OF the president and the secretary of
state that this will receive prompt
disavowal as an unauthorized act and
that due expression of regret on
the part of Spain will be Forthcoming.
Secretary Gresham communicated
the substance Of Spain's response to-.
the president as soon as it had been
translated, but he was unwilling to-
give it out for publication.
ut is understood, however, that the.
dispatch conveyed the information
that orders had been issued to the
commanders of the Spanish men-of-
war in Cuban waters not to interfere
with legitimate American commerce,
and to use every precaution to avoid
international complications by an ex--
ercise of undue zeal"

Narrow Escapes.
j. West Goodwin. editor of the Soda
liza Bazoo, and his wife and son, Harry,
had narrow escapes from being suf-
located or cremated at o'clock the
other morning. Fire started in a room
over which Mr.. Goodwin and his fam
lily had sleeping apartments. Mr.. and
Mrs. Goodwin occupied rooms on the
second floor, and Harry on the third
floor. Mrs. Goodwin was awakened by
the smoke and heat, and called her
husband, who is crippled and uses
crutches, and then started to the third
floor to call Harry. Blinded and choked
by the smoke, she crept up the stairs
and aroused the young man, when with
difficulty they made their way down to
the street, where Mr.. Goodwin awaited
them. The fire was finally extin-
guished.

HERE'S A STATE or ThlAoSs
England Has Sent an Ultimatum- Ia
Venezuela. 49,


Venezuela. $3.50
London dispatch The st. James
Gazette says: "We are ina positi to
state that Premier Salisbury SEM an
ultimatnm to President Crcspo, which
not only set out the demands Of the
BRITISH government for PREPARATION on
account Of the arrest Of a deputation
and inspector Of police at Uruan, but
also states the terms on which Great
Britain will definitely determine the
boundary dispute. Salisbury and
Chamberlain are in perfect agreement
as to the necessity of ending the
frontier dispute, even if Venezuela has
to be brought to terms by methods the
most effective in reaching an under
standing with the South American
republics"
New York dispatch: That the
Venezuelan question is approaching an
acute stage, with possibilities of
resistance by the South American
government to British aggression, was
signified by disclosures made in New
York on the best authority. The
government of Venezuela is providing
itself with modern armament, and
among other supplies has ordered ten
improved Maxim guns from the British
firm which manufactures them. The
order was placed through a New York
firm, and the English house, it is
supposed, does not know the destina-
ton of the goods. At the same time
the syndicate of United States capital
lists which has secured concessions on
the Venezuelan gold lands claimed by
Great Britain is preparing to send a
large force Of prospectors, miners and
workingmen into the field.

Brief Sketch of Man Now In the
Public Eye.
William Collins Whitney was born in
North Conway, Mass, July 5, 1S41. His
father was Scotch, his mother was Irish.
They were well-todo people and their
son found no barriers in the way OF
completing the education begun in a
country school house. In his seven
teenth year he entered Yale College
and made rapid progress in the depart
ment Of classics. He graduated from
that university with honors in July,
1863. The practice of law at that time
was considered among the most hon
orable of professions, as we'll as the
most lucrative, and it did not take the
young graduate long to decide that 1t
would be the proper occupation for him
to engage in. He accordingly entered
the Harvard law school, from which he
graduated in 1865. Shortly afterward,
to use an expression common among
lawyers nowadays, he hung out his
single" in New York city. He was
tolerably successful and won the coed
counsel of men like Samuel J. Tiden,
Francis Herman and others. In 1875
he became corporation counsel of New
York and served until 1882. That was
the only political post he held previous
to his appointment as secretary OF the
navy in 1885. He served until the end
Of the first Cleveland administration,
1882 He succeeded in having Cleve-
land renominated in Chicago in 1892,

at midnight Pierola, mounted upon a
black horse, commanded the revolutions
lists, At two o'clock there were five

defeated.
But Pieroia, as dictator, felt the eff
fects OF Prado, the knave. The coun-
try bankrupt, the army and navy de-
stroyed, he could do nothing in the race
of the victorious Chilians. They cap
tured Lima, and they gorged them
selves with southern territory. PIER

he was compelled to flee. -Four years
later he returned and, by force Of arms,
| again won the place Of dictator. But
the people were against him and again
he fell. From that time until this year
he waited patiently, slowly organizing
another army in the mountains.
Again he has been successful, and now
vox populi follows the clash of arms.
Pierola, president Of Peru, is as brave
a soldier as South America ever pro-

Napoleon was by the Guard. He is
married and has several grown chill

Trinidad May Make Him More Grief Than
Venezuela.
WASHINGTON, October 24.-An inter-
national complication, which may be
of greater Importance to Great Britain
than her dispute with Venezuela, it is
said here, is likely to follow the de-
claration that her majesty's govern
ment will not relinquish possession of
the island of Trinidad, in Brazil, which
is situated about $50 miles from Rio
.,cueiro. Various claims to the posses
sio.. Of this island, which is an impor-
tant Strategic point, have been advanc-
ed by Greet Britain at various times.
One claim vas of original discovery,
but this being aLundantly disproved in
favor Of the Portuguese, claim is now
made to the island as having been
acquired by Great Britain by purchase
from the claimants to grant disputed
by Brazil. Great Britain is reported
to have arrived at decision that she
viii adhere to this, her latest claim.
IF this be SO, Great Britain's action
will create a greater excitement In
Brazil than has existed there for years.
There is the strongest documentary
evidence that Brazils claim to Trinidad
is unassailable. Should any difficulty
now arise between the two countries,
it is not thought that the United States
will become involved Brazil, it is be-
lieved, is competent to manage her
