An American Riot.

BILBoA. Spain, March 9.--There
was another American riot here to-
day. About 1900 people took part,
The excitement was started by young
men at a street corner cheering every
soldier who passed. Their conduct
was initiated by other groups. Some
musicians who refused TO repeat the
national anthem were hustled and
beaten. Riotous groups formed i'll
the main street, cheering for Spain
and denouncing the United States.
The authorities did everything posi-.
bic to maintain order. Almost the
entire police force turned out aud the
rioters were dispersed again and
again.
Eventually, however. the mob be-
came So numerous and excited that
the police were almost helpless.
After the first demonstration of SYM
pathy with the army, the crowds arm
ell themselves with sticks and cud.
gels and the police were swept aside.
An immense crowd gathered on the
leading thoroughfarc and marched to.
wards the residence of the United
States Consul, shouting: Long live

On the way to tine Consul's resi-.
dence they hurled stones through

intending to stone that building as
we'll.
The authorities had taken the pre-
caution To send a strong force OF po.
lice to guard the house, however.
Another detachment was stationed
across the streets leading to the Con.
sulate. Therefore, when the mob

The Mint Steal.

Warren Noteware was recalled a!
the first witness on the fifth day of tht
Jones trial. He produced severa
books which he found the evening be
fore in a locker in the cupel rooU
used by Pierce. Among the book:
were assay books and a record OF
tags. Tags OF bullion sent to the re-
tinery until May, 1894, were intro,
duced to show that Jones had the ac'
tive superintendency Of the refinery
during Zabriskie's term.
Hirsch Harris, Meter ond Reiiner,
was the next witness. He was ap
pointed June l, 1894, but the keys
and metal were not turned owe To
him until the sth or 9th Of June.
Jones explained this by saying that
they were scraping up all the metal
they could TO make a settlement.
Jones told him that he and Zabriskie
had to bring silver from the outside
to make a clean settlement and that
on June !, 1893 he had melted up S2O
pieces OF his own and put them III as
standard metal The spurious melt
was passed to him in the settlement
OF 1894. He and Jones were the only
ones that had the key and combina-
ton to the vault. Jones directed the
operations in the refinery while he
was his assistant. 4 deficiency of
1900 OF. Of gold exists in the refinery.
Harris told how he discovered the
spurious melt and that Jones told
him he would find the missing gold in
the sluIns. The first amount lost
was 1900 OF. in working 5000 or.
Attributed the loss to bogus melts
delivered to him by Zabriskic. As
soon as the shortage was discovered.
he notified Superintendent Adams
and requested him to notify the au-
thorities at Washington. The short
age could be accounted for only by
the dishonesty of his employees or
that the bullion delivered to him was
not worth the assay value. Wished
to assay the granulations and Jones
said 1t was not customary to do SO,
and that it could not be accurately
done. Asked Ellis about il and he
contradicted Jones and said it had
always been done. Had the granula-
tons been assayed the bogus bars
would have been detected. Mason
assayed the settlement melts and
found that spurious melt No. lGi.
Jones was present when Mason came
and assisted in %uncovering the mystic
ries OF the shortage. Did not sus-
pect Jones, but placed the utmost
confidence i'll him and told him every
Jones and | found the mold
in which the bogus bar was cast in
the melting room. was astonished
and asked Jones il he thought | made
1t; he replied no, andsaid that it came
to us in the regular channels; I asked
him il he thought it was bogus when
we got it from the Superintendent, he
said no, that it came i'll the regular
channel; that was the only answer he
would give. He asked me il | had
anything more to do that afternoon
and asked my permission to 90 and
see L. K. Hofer, the former Superin-
tendent OF the Mint; granted this
request, he went and did not return
and wo have not spoken since.
