carried out, and President Griswold of the
railway company, in order TO talk over the
situation and see what can be done to-

committee called this morning, but Mr.
Griswold had an important previous en-

balancing his books, SO the discussion of
the matter was postponed until this after
noon.
1t is understood that during the meeting

THE ALLlANCA CASE
Satisfactorily Settled, but the Terms Are
Kept Secret.
Commander of the Spanish Gunboa
Has Been RcbuI<ed by His
Government.

Senior Dupuy de LONE, the Spanish min
lister to the United States, has denied the
report that Lieut. Harra, the officer who
commanded the Conde de Venedito when
she fired upon the Allianca, has been pre-
NOTED. An impression to that effect OBJ
tanned In consequence of a statement that
Lieut. Harra has been placed on duty in
the office of the marine commandaat at
havana, the assumption being that this
detail was promotion. To correct this
impression, Miaister de LONE made the
following statement:
Iromotions in our navy go by strict
seniority To detail an officer from sea to
land duty means to lose an important part

that the Spanish government has re-

following its usual course the department
declines to make 1t public To some diplo-
mats this Is taken to mean that the re-

that this was the reason for the reprimand

The North Atlantic pilot chart for May,

liable information concerning the meteor
ology of the North Atlantic for the coming
month, in addition to showing the position
of derelicts, regions of fog and ice, and
other features which have made this publi-
cation almost a necessity to mariners Of
every nationality. the United States gov

which they fly the only compensation de-
manded being that the masters shall faith
fully keep and return to the photographic
office the record of the daily meteorological
observations taken during the voyage at the
hour corresponding to mean noon at Green

esteemed, especially by the masters of sail
ing vessels that many of them will delay
their departure in order to have the ad-
vantage of the information as to favorable
winds con tanned IN the most recent number.
The chart for the current month states
that fair weather may be expected over the
North Atlantic, with occasional gales near
the American coast and along the trans
atlantic steamship routes north of the 10th

ing NJ. DyrenfOrth's Clothing.

The case of Robert L. Ryan and Valonia
Ryan, his wife, arrested on charges of hav-
ing robbed NJ. Dyrenforths clothing store
on Pennsylvania avenue, was concluded in
the Police Court, and the defendants were
sent to jail for twenty months. The evil
dence in the case was concluded yesterday,
when the defendants made sweeping de-
mails. Mrs Ryan did the best she could to
shield her husband. and he was perfectly
willing that she oild shoulder all the re-
sponsibility.
Mrs. Ryan endeavored to Account for the
possession of the stolen property, claiming
that she brought some of the cloth here
with her from Omaha. Ryan, who always
dressed WELL admitted that he had worn
the clothes furnished by his wife. He also
admitted that he had sold some of them,
secondhand dealers being the purchasers
In face of all this evidence he pretended
that he thought his wife had obtained the
goods honestly.
Judge Miller said he was perfectly satis-
fled that there was a joint participation in
the robbery, and, after few remarks
passed the sentence.

CATTLE FROM CANADA.
The Raising of the Quarantine is Not
COnteM plated.

Secretary Morton denied this morning
that the raising of the quarantine against
Canadian cattle was contemplated as in
dicated in dispatch from Chicago. The
importation of Canadian cattle is virtually
prohibited by the rigid quarantine regula-
tions, which require them to remain in
quarantine ninety days. They are also
subject to a duty of 20 per cent. Under
an act of the last Congress the President
can. by proclamation. upon the recon-
mendation of the Secretary Of Agriculture.
declare Canadian cattle free from disease
ard admit them, subject only to inspection
and the duty imposed. Secretary Morton
says this step is not contemplated, al
though at the bureau of animal industry
1t was said that there was no reason to
believe that pleuro-pneumonia existed in
Canada any more than it did in this coun-
try. Canada enforces a similar quarantine
against United States cattle.

Why the sailors Landed.

State Department officials today said that
they had heard nothing of the condition of
affairs in Nicaragua, or CT the progress of
the attempt to effect a settlement of the
difficulty between Great H0itain and Mica
ragua at London through the good offices
of the Salvadorian minister at that post
Some facts are just coming to light re-
specting the earlier stage of the negotia-
tions. which explain, in a measure, the
confidence expressed by our government
that the British troops would not be land
ed at Corinto. and the surprise felt by it
when the news of the actual landing came
to Washington.
1t is now said that orders had been cabled
to Admiral Stephenson, commanding the
British fleet off Corinto. to defer the exc
cution of his orders to land the troops
until he had heard further from the Brit-
ish government. By cutting the telegraph
lines connecting Corinto with San Juan del
Sur, the nearest cable port, the Nicara-
guans, 1t is asserted, stopped this message
in transit and the admiral Lad no other
course open to him than to carry out his
original orders.

A Crisis in Nicaragua.

An official dispatch has been received by
one of the Central American diplomats at
Washington stating that the situation of
affairs in Nicaragua Is extremely critical
and that an armed conflict between the
British and Ncaraguan forces is imminent
unless a settlement is speedily effected
Up to o'clock the status of the negotia-
tions toward a settlement had not changed
SO far as could be learned. 1t is insisted
that IL Great Britain has acceded to the
agreement there is an unexplainable alb
sence of official information on the point
Under these circumstances diplomats are
not yet ready to regard Great Britains ac-
ceptance as an accomplished fact.
The official dispatch that affairs are In a
critical state in Nicaragua discloses the
embarrassments of the small republic. 1t
is said that the people are indignant at
President Zelaya and his associates for not
repelling the British by opening fire when
the landing was made at Corinto. This
feeling Is so great that a revolution is
feared Should such a change occur, the
revolutionary party would represent the
popular feeling of repelling the British with
force. A speedy withdrawal of the British
from Corinto is relied on to quiet the popu-
lar feeling.
