Whitney Calls It n willrul Insult.

NEW YORK, March lg-Tho Times prints today this cable message from Will liam C. Whitney, rx-Sccrrtary of the navy. dated at Naples: "Irrply tuyuur dispatch as follows: In considering what should bo done concerning the outrage pCrprtrat- cd by the spanish man ofwar in firing on the AllianCa ono fact should not be lost sight of. It WAS deliberate and with full knowledge of the character of the act.
 Ut is certain that no person in com mand of any war vessel In the world would bo ignorant that firing upon a merchant vessel of another power on the high seas in time of peace would violate the law of nations. There isn't n subnrdi- nate officer of any man of war in the world who hasn't boen sufficiently instructed to know that.
 Ut is therefore a ease of willful insult to the American flag and people l do not recall sn wanton an outrage as hap pcning to any first class power in 90 years An apology scarcely wipes out such an afTront.
 "Tho truth is We have happened to come in for piece of tho general brutality and ruflianism that holds Cuba Tho thing is q relic of the middle ages. It is dis grace to us that lies at our doorstep. It makes my blood boil for one.
 "Of course they will apologize elaborate ly and discipline tho officer. But when we arc looking toward him the general terrorism which holds Cuba down while they suck her blood will have been sub stantially increased at our expense. You can gather what my opinion is. What the government should do is another matter. The president in such matters is generally a safo person to follow, but as you ask my opinion, there it is

There she met Clarence, and the two fell in love with each other. Her folks objected to their marriage, and a runaway match resulted. "Clarence, she says in her story. "gave mo a suit of boys clothes and cut my hair. Then wc went to Mans field O., where we wcro married by the Rov. MT. Hubbell on Jan. 3l. 1894" Sa- die was then l5 years old. and Clarence was F.

 "Clarcnce fell in with some stranded theatrical people and organized n show and put it on tho road. We travelled through Ohio and finally went to James town. N. Y. where the show busted. We then came to Buffalo" The story of the crime, already related, Is here taken up.

 BUFFALO,, Oct l6, 1894.
 My DEAR HUSBAND-They allowed me to see the paper for the first time today. Oh, ClarCnCc how could you say that did the shooting! Now, Clarence, the best thing for you to do is to tell everything, and tell the truth. It will be much better for both of us. If can take and serve your sentence, I will do it, for I'm not afraid to die, and you can take my sentence, which will probably be a few years at Auburn.
 Don't think l told to get rid of you, be- cause did not. If it happens that you get only n life scntcncC-and l pray to God con stantly it will be su-pcrhaps after few years l get you a pardon, and then we can be together again.
 love you, Clarence. but cannot pcrjure my soul, not even for you. but would gladly suf- fer on this earth for you. I want you to be- come good and a Christian, SO whatever happens you can say, Thy will, not mine, be done
 would never have told n word about it. but you gave it away yourself. You made the mis- take of your life when you told Bert Snyder, tn" cousin who testified against thcml what happened in Buffalo, and, worst of all did not tell the truth about either. But 1 will never c,iIs, t0 pray for you, and feel sure my pray CTS will h,' answered. for hr docth all things We'll Your loving wife,
