Chicago, Dec 30 petition was pre-
sented to Judge Gibbons this afternoon

POWERS NOT APPEALED TO
Spain Satisfied With the Attitude
of This Country.
Governments In United States and
Madrid said to Understand
Each Other Thoroughly.

Tie recent reports that the Spanish
government was cndeavorng to secure
the cooperation OF the great European
powers TO prevent by force, if necessary,
the Intervention Of the United States in
the Cuban insurreCtion, have no better
authority than many other startling Iu-
mors that have been industriously circu-
lated during the past few months.
There is authority for the statemen: that
the Spanish government is, generally speak
ing, entirely satisfied with the attitude
of the United States with reference to
the Cuban revolt.
The governments at Washington and
Madrid understand each other thoroughly,
and the firm and dgnificd position of
President Cleveland, not only in prcserv-
ing a strict neutrality between the con
tending forces, but in publicly announcing
his purpose to do SO, furnishes the strong
est proof to the Spanish ministry that the
intention OF this country is TO take no
step that could be regarded as uufricndly
or tending III any way to culbarrass the
Spanish crown.
If additional evidence We're needed to
assure the world that Spain can find no
fault with the attitude of the Washing
ton government, it Will bc found in the
notification which the Ma drid foreign Of
flee has made to the Spanish diplomatic
representatives. in Great Britain and on
the continent.
Through advices which reached the
State Department yesterday, it is learned
that soon as that portion Of the Pres-
dent recent message to Congress Telat
ing to the Cuban situation had been trans
lated, copies We're sent to the Spanish
ministers at the various European capi-
tails, with the added state ment that the
Spanish government was entirely satisfied
with the President utterances.
In these circumstances the reports which
convey the impression that Spain is test
ing the friendship of the European powers
with view to securing their assistance
in preventing an anticipated Intervention
on the part OF this government, are pro-
nounced absurd This is especially the
case when il is remembered that the
greater part OF Cuba is now in peaceful
condition, that in many provinces the
crops are being planted and that abundant
reasons exist for believing that successful
| revolt in the island against the Spanish
government cannot be much longer con-
tinued.

CAUGHT THE COUSTERFEITER
Gang Operated in Maine, Virginia
and New York..

New York, Dec. 3O.-Mary Haason, Will
liam Marlin and Patrick Burke were ar
rested last night at No. 8 Batavia street,
this city, on the charge OF being counter
feiters. They are said to be members OF
a gang Of the Cleverest counterfeiters that
have ever existed in this or any other coun-
try. The operations OF the gang were car
ried on in the Maine woods and in the
mountain Businesses of Virginia, as well
as in the slums OF New York.
Spurious money made by them has been
extensively circul ated through out the
United States, and so cleverly was this
done that the government detectives found
it hard to tell it from the genuine.
1t is said that other arrests of the gang
will be made shortly. Marlin, one of the
men arrested, has already served a term of
twenty years for counterfeiting. He is con-
sidered the prize capture. He is over
seventy years of age and clever engraver.
A complete plant of crucibles, dies and sill
yer and several hundred dollars worth of
coins were captured.

VISITORS AT CANTON.
Major and Mrs. Mckinley Entertain
a Host of Friends Last Night.

Canton, O., Dec. 30.-The most notable
visitors today were Senator c. D Clark
and Representative Frank W. Mondell of
Wyoming, who are silver men, but remained
in the Republican party and supported
Major Mckinley.
They told him they would act with the
party in Congress and give hearty support
to the proposed tariff legislation.
Senator Clark stated, however, that
in Wyoming and the other mountain States
the silver sentiment had increased rather
than diminished since the election and
that it was of the highest Importance to
the Republican party to enact legislation
providing for an International monetary
conference.
Senator Clark declared that the selec-
ton of Senator Sherman, or any man wi o
Is looked upon as gold monometallist for
the office of Secretary of the Treasury
would be a serious political error.
Senator Allison, said he, would be looked
upon with favor by the bimctallists as
Cabinet posi- bility.
Major and Mrs. Mckinley entertained
about eighty of their friends tonight
Major Mckinley may spend a few days
In Cleveland next week.

Tired of Nonsense.

Il am not surprised at Purroy's action.
He has always been a kicker He never
could get along with anybody. He bolted
Tammany fifteen years ago; then bOlted
the County Democracy, and is now on an
other bolt. He broke with Mayor Grant
and Mayor Gilruy and is opposed to every
body but himself. He has been I; drag
on every organization he has belonged to
and now fe is well out of Tammany Hail.
In regard to the charge that he had en-
gineered the movement to force Purroy
out of Tammany Hall Mr. Sheehan said:
The action in regard to the primaries
was taken by the executive committee and
would havebecn taken whether favored it
or not Practically the whole committee
was tired OF Purroy's nonsense and could
not have restrained them if / had tried
to do so.''
The Tammany general committee will
meet tonight and will indorse the action Of
