Attack on the American Mail
Steamer Unwarranted.
Presence Three Miles OFF Cuban
Coast Not a BeIIigerent Act.
Notice That Interference With Afneri-
can Commerce wnI Not BE Tolerated.

MADRID, March 15.-Mr. Hannis Tay-
Tor, the American minister, today pre-
sented to the minister for foreign
affairs demand from his government
for apology and reparation from the
government of Spain on account OF the
Alliance affair.
Mr.. Taylor's action was based ON the
following dispatch from Mr.. Gresham,
dated Washington, YESTERDAY;
This department is informed that on
the Stu inst. the United States mail
steamship Alliance, on her homeward
voyage from Colon to New York, when
six miles from the coast of Cuba, of Cape
Maysi, was repeatedly fired upon by .
Spanish gunboat with solid shot, which
fortunately fell short. The Wind
ward Passage, where this occurred, d
the natural and usual highway for
vessels plying between ports of the United
States and the Caribbean Sea. Through It
several regular lines of American mail
and commercial steamers pass weekly
within sight of Cape MaysL They
are all well known and their
voyage embraces no Cuban port Of
call. Forcible interference with them
cannot be claimed as a bclligerent act,
whether they pass within three miles Of
the Cuban coast or not, and can. under
no circumstances, be tolerated, when ne
state OF war exists.
This Government will expect prompt
disavowal Of the unauthorized act, and
due expression of regret on the part of
Spain, and it must insist that immediate
and positive orders be given to Spanish
naval commanders not to interfere with
legitimate American commerce passing
through that channel, and prohibiting all
acts wantonly imperiling life and prop
erty lawfully under the flag of the United
States. You will communicate this to the
minister of foreign affairs, and urge i'm
portance of prompt and satisfactory re-
sponse.

Candidate-Boomer for Governor.

The Democratic city convention is to be
held at 8 o'clock this evening in the old
brick building on Canal street that was
formerly used for police station.
A preliminary caucus is called for
an hour previous 20 the public meeting
and the delegates will then be asked to
agree to the Assembly ticket already
decided upon.
Ex- Mayor William X. Potter is first
choice for the Senatorial nomination, but
he has not positively stated that he will
accept 1t. The workers, however, are
using all their persuasion, because
they look upon Mr.. Potter ss a
"vote- winner" under any and
all circumstances. IL he accepts Charles
c. Mumford of Ward Twill head the list
of Representatives. III Mr.. Potter declines
Mr.. Mumford will be nominated for
Senator and Carl Gunderson will be
nominated for first Representative
For the second Representatives at
large there is some question between
James ii. Walch and Isaac Hahn. The
rest of the ticket is practically a sure
thing, SO far as the nominations go, and
will be as follows: John b. Hawkins,
Ward 2; James Burdick, Ward
8; Harry II. &. Rawsou, Ward A.;
Richard Hayward, Ward 5; p. j. Nc
Carthy, Ward 6; John T.. Potter, Ward Z;
William T. Whipple, Ward 8; james T.
Kennedy, Ward 8; William III. Bullock,
Ward 10, and George b. johnson, first
Representative at large. With three or
four exceptions all Of these gentle
men have previously represented the
city in the General Assembly and to-
day chairman Dorney of the city COM
mittee feels confident that they will get
another opportunity. He also claims that
the Democrats have just an even chance
OF electing the entire ticket.

Assembly last April, and who was
dropped at the first opportunity after
that, is getting out independent nomina.

EXCEPTIONS ARGUED.
Case OF Eaton Against Robinson Be-
fore the Appellate Court.

Before the appellate division today the
case OF Amasa M. Eaton ct al. against
George III. Robinson ct al. was heard on
exceptions TO the masters report. The
original complaint set forth that the re-
spondents, who were majority stock
holders in the Narragansett Pier Com
pany, elected themselves officers and
voted to themselves large salaries;
that the complainants, minority
stockholders, were defrauded OF any profits
from the enterprise. An opinion was
handed down in the case by the appellate
court in which it was held that COM
plainants were entitled to relief and
that the respondents we're guilty OF
conspiracy and NAL administration. The
cause was subsequently referred TO
John #. Lonsdale, Esq. as master in
chancery, who also found the respondents
guilty of NAL administration, but allowed
them certain sums for their services. The
complainants except TO this report on the
ground that the fraudulent action
of the respondents entitle them
to no compensation whatever. The
respondents except to the report on the
ground that the recompense allowed was
insufficient and that the finding OF fraud
is unwarranted. The Narragsnsett Pier
Company owned the bathing beach at
the Pier and leased land. Under the
management Of the respondents the
profits Of the company for IL years was
s14.13, about $4,000 being paid in salaries.
A. M. Eaton and w. A. Angel for COM
plaInants, and Arnold Green for the re-
spondents.
Also before the Appellate Court the ac-
tion of William II. Perry against Daniel
ii. Horton was heard on the defendants
petition for a new trial.

OFFICIALS HAVE mo AUTHORITY.

The superintendent and inspector of
buildings are requested to exert their au-
thority and cause some old sheds
removed from private premises on
Waterman street. The sheds were
erected by workmen for their con-
venience while building house on the
land in 1894. The lady who requested tho
removal was informed that as long as the
sheds do not endangcr persons on the
highway, the city cannot trespass on
private grounds TO remove. them, but she
must apply to the owner OF the property.
This Is but one Of many similar demands
made upon these departments.

The Commissioners Will Probably IS-
sue Them To Newspaper Men.
Complaint is made that the number of
persons who adopt ruses TO get through
the lines at fires is rapidly increasing, and
the police have their hands full turning
these people away. One OF the most
common tricks resorted to is the
"prcss representative" plea, and at the
last fire, at the Providence Coal Com-
pany's wharf Wednesday night, one
policeman was beset by % persons Of
all sorts of make-ups who insisted
that they were reporters, 90

be adopted whereby authorized perso
can readily obtain admission TO
fires. In this connection II Is
understood that the fire commissioners
have already taken the initiative
and at recent meeting favorably

as prevail in other large cities, to be issued
to newspapers for reporters use and 70

PRESIDENT IN TROUBLE.
Head of the Dead Sore Club Pleads
His Own Case.


John j. Rogers, who delights in being
called president" of the Dead Sore Club,
was in the Sixth District Court this
morning on the charge of selling liquor
without a license. John was his own
counsel and his style Of handling the
English language was rather anus
ing to the court, and the
spectators. At the elbow of the
well known president sat his cousin,
Frank Rogers, who served as prompter.
1t was quite evident that he was not much
afraid Of being convicted of the charge or
else he knew there was no show for him,
for he had nothing 10 say about the case,
but told story after story about the police
in that vicinity.
He called upon Chief Child, who, al
though not summoned, took The stand.
Rogers began talking police, but Judge
Cooke endevored 10 put an end to the
controversy. But" said Rogers, 'this
is deep WELL" 81 can't help that, - said
hishonor. "We are not digging a well
here"
The cause OF all of the trouble is that
Rogers is said to be at the head of a club
which meets at 81 Putnam street, and has
for some time been under the supervision
of the police department. Rogers was
found probably guilty and was held in the
sum Of $1,000 for the action of the grand
jury.
Minor Cases.
In the Sixth District Court this morn
ing w. Ii. Smith was given hearing on
the charge OF on-support Of his wife and

The American Eagle.

The 10th anniversary OF the dec
lartion OF independence was observed
Thursday as usual by the people at
various places, listening to patriotic
speeches, drinking red lemonade, and
watching the festive boss race, foot
race, and ball game, which through
long association, have become insep-
arabic from Il well regulated 4th
celebration. Perhaps the greatest
number OF Hand County's citizens
celebrated at st. Lawrence, where
they sweltered through the usual
program and hot south wind, not
conducive to full expansion OF pa
triotism. Our popular Supreme
Judge Fuller made the principal ora
ton, and pleased his auditors.
Among other speakers were. j. Nj.
King, F.. J. Miller, Robt. Sedan, G.
III. Carroll, Supt. Morton.
A very sad accident occurred to
mar the days sports. During the
running horse race three horses and
riders were piled into an indiscrim-
mate heaD, the result being a broken
leg for one of the boys, Geo. Patter-
son of Holden township, and brok-
EN- leg for +. II. Jones horse.
Gene Cottrell, of Miller, and Albert
Hansen, of Burdette, were winners
OF foot races.
Burdette's first and second clubs
each won a game OF ball from Miller's
clubs.
In the evening there was good
display of fireworks, and a dance.
And the great American product
known as patriotism" is corked up
for another year.

oughly organized, they can easily
win fair share OF games oyer neigh
