DEMAND ON SPAIN.
SHE MUST AT ONCE PAY THE MORA
CLAIM.
1t Amounts to One and One-HaIf
Million DOIIars-It is Not Thought
Harsh Measures VIII Be Neces-
sary.

New York, June ia special to a
local paper from Washington indi-
Gates that the government has de-
manded that Spain Immediately pay
the Mora claim of one and one-haI1
million dollars, or severe measures will
be taken for collection.
Antonio Maxine Mora was an Amer
lean citizen owning valuable sugar
property in Cuba. During an insur-
rection in that island it was seized
by the Spanish government, and in
the absence of its owner he was con-
demned and the property confiscated.
7 Before Spain admitted its error in thus
treating an American citizen and his
property, there had been collected
from the estate nearly So, 500, OOO
When it was seen that the United
States government was determined
that there should be a settlement the
Spanish government offered a compro-
mise. In place of the absolute indebted
ness to Mora, which was admitted by
the offer of compromise, Spain agreed
to pay a sum of $1.500,O0 with interest
on such part of its indemnity award
as should be referred
Minister Taylor at Madrid has been
informed by telegraph of the insist
ence of the United States upon prompt
payment of the indemnity and has been
directed to press for settlement and
immediate payment regardless of ac-
ton of the proposed claims convention.
This dispatch went to Minister Taylor
several days ago. The full letter of in
structions will be in his hands in a
day or two.

a prompt and satisfactory settlement
and payment at once. Should the Span
iSh government neglect to impress
upon the Cortes the Importance of
granting the necessary funds, or should
the CorteS refuse to allow an appropri-
alton for Mora. the United States gov
eminent, in self-respect, would be con-
strained to try other means to secure
payment. 1t may become necessary to
occupy Havana and to retain con-
troll of custom houses there until an
amount equal to the Mora indemnity
has been collected. This could be done
without offenSe to international law,
if the United States were not OPP
posed by superior fleet and military
force at Havana. If it should be OBJ
1ected to by Spain on the ground that
this is an awkward time for an en-
barrassed government to receive and
entertain such demand as that just
sent to Madrid, it is plain that Spain
has provided for its own embarrass-
ment by presuming upon our good ma
ture and liberation, rather than i'm
pertinent neglect and arrogance. If
Spain cared as much for its own self
respect and our good opinion as it does
for the possession of Cuba. it would
have paid the Mora indemnity years
ago. Leaving it to be settled as it must
be now. it will be difficult to avoid
the conclusion that the payment of
the award is also the purchase of our
abstension from practical Intervention
in behalf of the Cuban insurrection.

MERELY COQUETRY.
Prince Bismarck's Remark About
the BestowaI of a Russian Order
on Nj. Faure.

New York. June IA dispatch to the
Herald from Hamburg says: Information
has reached here from Friedricheruhe to
the effect that Prince Bismarck, COM
menting on the bestowal OF a Russian
order on NJ. Faure, said: 'All that is
only coquetry. There is no real alliance"
Eighty detectives, belonging to the
political section of the service have ar
rived with their chief. Baron Manderobo,
who is organizing an extensive system of
police protection with a view to the
kaiSer'S personal safety.
1t is uncertain yet whether the French
officers will participate in the imperial
procession down the canal. The Russians
will in any case take part in it.
The Bismarckian organ, the Hamburg
Nachrichtem publishes a severe criticism
on the kaiser's policy OF Cancellation, de-
claring that Chauvinism is the dominant
factor IN France.
The officers of the Surcouf say that a
very colorless reception was accorded the
French fleet.
1t is said that the Grand Duke Alexis
is the bearer of an autograph letter from
the car to the kaiser, containing the
warmest protestations of friendship.

Washington, June 19.-Secretary Oh
zens of the United States in the OBJ
seryance of strict neutrality between
the Spanish government and the Gu
ban insurgents, not only touching
armed assistance, but also as to rem
dering aid and encouragement in a
financial way. The occasion for this
exposition came in a letter from Mr.
John P. Casey, of the Farmers and
Mechanics Bank of Waco, Texas, ask
ing if it would be a violation of the
as depository for funds for the Gu
ban revolutionists.
Mr.. Olney's reply stated: Whether
the bank or its officers could be GRIM
inally prosecuted, is a question as to
which opinions may differ, and which
can be satisfactorily settled only by
the adjudication of the proper court
Should bank engage in such a trans
action and, as you suggest, publish
its acceptance of such a trust to the
world, it would be my duty to call
upon the department of justice to test
the question whether or not the pro-
ceeding was a crime against the
United States.
1t might also be my duty to suggest
whether a bank holding a United
States charter does not abuse. it's
franchises and furnish ground for its
forfeiture by acts in aid of hostili-
ties against a nation with which the
United States is at peace
You ask me not merely as to yolr
technical legal ability, but also as to
your moral obligation, adding for we
are all too loyal to our own country to
seek TO overthrow in any sense her
laws | heartily commend the senti-
ment of the question, and am in posi-
ton to say your moral duty in the
premises does not admit of the least
question. 1t has been expounded by no
less an authority than the Supreme
Court of the United States in the fol.
lowing language:
The intercourse of this country
with foreign nations and its policy in
regard TO them are placed by the con-
stitution Of the United States in the
hands of the government and it's de-
cisions upon their subjects are obliga-
tory upon every citizen of the Union.
He is bound to be at war with the ma
ton against which the war-making
power has declared war, and equally
bound to commit no hostility against a
nation with which the government is
on amity and friendship. This princi-
pie is universally acknowledged by the
laws of the nations. 1t lies at the
foundation of all governments, as there
could be no social order or peaceful
regulations between the citizens of
different countries without it, -

He claimed that the house had always
been conciliatory and open to reason,
still they offered no compromise; they
said that what they had done was
just and right. and they did not in
tend to recede from ii. He Illustrated
his position by saying that the min
orlty had been given seed grain and
after twenty years use it was found
to be mixed with French weeds and
th1stles. and the province has resolved
to take it from them and give them
good seed instead He was convinced
that in all the negotiations in Mani
toba, separate schools were not de-
stroyed, and We're not provided for,
and he held that Manitoba was within
its constitutional rights in passing
the schools act in $780, The supreme
court and the judicial committee of the
privy council had held that the clause
of the British North American act re-
speeding separate schools in any pro-
vince did not apply to Manitoba. The
same authority was conclusive as
against the claim that Roman Catho-
lie school property had been con-
fiscated under the act of 1890. He held
that Joseph Martin was responsible
for promises made during the bye
elections IN $780, and not the province.
The power of the Roman Catholic
church was a standing menace to the
freedom of Canada, and the stability
of the government. He claimed that
the executive committee at Ottawa,
while bound to hear the appeal of
Catholics, were not bound to make any
remedial order. They had power to
dismiss the appeal, but had not
heard and decided the question on its
merits. The decision had been come to
on account of influence exercised by
Quebec members, and the power be-
hind them. The Manitoba government
had wisely held that if the Dominion
wanted information, the
local government would be ready to
give it. He hoped that the Dominion
parliament would not deal with the
question this season, but secure all
the information possible.
\ vote on the school question was
reached at 1870 this evening.
All the amendments were voted
down and Manitoba's answer refusing
to re-establish separate schools was
adopted.

BOIES AGAIN.
COMES OUT MORE VIGOROUSLY
THAN BEFORE.
Most Dangerous Enemies of Bimet-
allism are Those Who Claim to
Want it Under Conditions That
Can Never Be Realized.

Des Moines, Ia, June 19.-Ex-Governor
Horace Boies, of Waterloo, has written
another letter. in which he comes out
more vigorously than ever in favor of the
free coinage of silver. The letter is ad-
dressed to George E. Lewis, of Des
Moines. In it Mr.. Boies advocates the
free and unlimited coinage of silver, indie
pendent of the action OF any other gov
eminent He says that the most danger
Gus enemies of silver are those who. while
claiming to want bimetallism demand il
under such circumstances that they know
it can never be realized. He suggests that
this country should coin it's own silver
and that this would increase the value of
the metal the world over, so that there
would be no danger of flood of the met
al here. He also proposes that this coun-
try should take up its other forms of
paper money with an increased issue of
silver certificates, which would by this
arrangement be given the full value that
their face indicates, and as every dollar
of the certificates would be backed by
coin. it would be the best system in the
world.

A False Report Creates Considerable
CONSERVATION.

Phoenix, Ariz., June 19.-This morning a
telegram was sent by the Italian consul
at Denver, to Governor Hughes, asking
him to protect the Italian laborers in the
Congress mine, eighty miles north of
Phoenix. Also that he had telegraphed
Secretary Olney the situation and asked
his interference to protect their lives.
A later telegram from Secretary Olney
arrived, saying:

dor had called upon him and stated that
advices from Denver say the Italians at
the mines are about to be massacred by
the miners. n. o. Murphy, delegate to
Congress, telegraphed Immediately to
Congress and received the reply:
No trouble here. but few Italians en-
ployed."
Later, E. B. Gage, president Of the
Congress Gold Mining company, sent
complete contradiction, saying that there
never has been any trouble. The mine
employs 800 men, principally Americans.

Edwin L. Swiney, who was eXam-
ined at the county court investigation
yesterday, places a less value on the
furniture than did Weary. He is
about s., 900 under the figures made by
that gentleman.
Mr. Swiney was the only man ex-
amined at yesterdays session. 1t did
not take as long for him to get
through as it did Weary. Possibly
this is accounted for by the fact that
Mr.. Whittemore did not question him
as he did the former
Judge Dey led him a fairly merry
chasCs on the cross-examination and
elected the statement that he has not
been in a manufacturing business sim
liar to the Andrews company for
some years. One fact which has been
brought out is that neither Weary or
Swiney are manufacturers of furni-
ture on a large scale. They are small
dealers. Counsel for the Andrews
compf ny attaches much Importance
to the TACT that both seem to be men
who handle cheap goods, and it has
been suggested that the former was
getting evFn with his old employers
when be placed a low valuation on
th uTniture.
T1,ourse there are ali sorts of stor-
les. Ut viii be time to pass judgment
wheyi all the facts have been pre-
scented. There are claims and claims.
Yesterdays session was delayed by
the county attorney not getting in on
time, although he had reasonable
excuse and was forgiven. Mr.. Swiney
was the first witness.
Swfney Testifes.
Replying to a question by Mr.. Whit
temore, Swiney said his front name
was Edward E., that he lived in Chi
cago, and for twenty-nine years had
manufactured furniture for banks and
public buildings He had fitted the
Chicago city hall twice, once before
the fire and once afterward.
DO you know A. H. Andrews &
Co"
Yes. sir. I have known the firm
for 'twenty-seven years.
d Did you ever have the firm as COM
I1petitors %
Yes, in the government building at
Sacramento, which 1 furnished; they
bid 500 lower than I on standard
furniture. 1 was lower on the special.
The total was about $1,000. I have
not done much on court house furni-
ture for some time
Have you examined the county
furniture in this building?"
Yes, sir. have made separate
estimate"
What was the condition of affairs
in S94 as regards prices"
I'm December 1894, the price of fur
nito.re was very low. Work of this
kind could have been done at a trif1e
above cost. Labor was very much
cheaper The price of labor was Is
per cent lower; material was not
muca lower"
Mr.. Swiney then read from a tabu-
lated statement which he had pre-
pared as follows:
,neteen desks at S45, Andrews
pIpee SIP.
These arc not the No. A desks, I
ind none of them in the building
Mr.. Swiney then explained the diff
ference in desks to the court. The
specifications called for veneered bot
toms in drawers, he had as yet found
no desk with these veneered bottoms.
The difference in actual value of the
desks furnished and those contracted
for is about $50 Continuing Swiney

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
Fire at the Preside Causes a Loss
of $4,000.

San Francisco, June ia fire at the
Preside reservation, today. will cost the
United States government about $4,000.
The fire was discovered in the gunshed of
Light Battery F, and before an engine
arrived the building was consumed. The
shed cost only $1,000, but it contained
eight four-inch rifle guns of the latest
pattern, each of which cost about $1,000.
The guns were badly warped and the car
ruined Besides the guns, number of
valuable stores were in the building, all
of which are damaged, so that they are
unfit for use The origin of the fire is I'M
known and is now being investigated.
There were some lubricants stored in the
shed and the theory of Colonel Graham
is that the fire was caused by spontane-
Gus combustion.

the Pacific Mail company, was examined
this afternoon by the United States in
spectors OF hulls and boilers, in o9nnec
ton with the laundering of the steamer
Colima off the coast of Mexico on May

before she left San Francisco and found
her in good condition, upon which he had
congra tulated Captain Taylor and admon-
ished him to take good care of the ship
and passengers. He stated that he in
spected all the Pacific Mail steamers be-
fore they went to sea. The lifeboats were
ready for service, and if they We're dashed
he said it would take only a minute to
cut the ropes. Schwerin admitted that
the lumber was piled three feet high on
the Colirna's deck, but said that the lum-
Der was securely dashed for ordinary
weather. He was positive the lumber did
not make the Colima top-heavy.
