Rasis of q Claim for Damages Through
the Operations of the Cuban Junta in
This Countrywide Argument.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-The Spanish
government is preparing a big bill of
damages to be presented to the United
states on account of the numerous ex-
petitions alleged to have gone from our
shores to the relief of the Cuban insur-
gents. In support of its claim to reparation
1t intends to invoke the precedent estab-
lished against Great Britain in the cele-
brated Alabama claims award made by
the Geneva arbitration tribunal. There
have been reports heretofore that Spain
at the proper time would present n series
Of claims on account of the use the insur-
gents had made of the United States as a
base of supplies for hostile operations in
Cuba. These We're nothing more than
rumors until Saturday, when the govern
Inent officers received copies of n report of
the Spanish legation made by it legal ad
wiser, Calderon Carlisle.
Brings Up the Geneva Award.
The report is handsomely printed in
pamphlet form. and with its five appen-
iicc> makes q book of over 800 pages. The
Wiborg ease. recently decided by the
United states supreme court. is cited and
.'cfcrrcd TO as the one solitary conviction
obtained by the United States since the
, beginning of the present Cuban il surrec-
tion. The attorney says it is thought
! proper 10 show from the case of the Gene.
Vi aware. against Great Britain what
the nited states expected of n neutral
nation, and also to recall the attitude of
spain towards the jnitel states during
the civil war. The principles indicated
and enforced by the Geneva tribunal
against Great Britain as those which
should have governed her conduct would
seem. the report says. to he clearly applic-
| able to the duties and obligations of the
JBited states toward spain in The recent
instance.
Our Laws No: Efficiently Enforced.
In reviewing the Geneva award the re-
! port says that il was clear that the United
states made its complaint mainly upon
the fitting ont and shipping from England
of vessels and supplies In concluding the

powers invested in the president of the

used for preventing the carrying on of
military expeditions forbidden by the

AN AWARD TO YALE.
To Receive s154.GO4.45 Damages From
m Agricultur.l College.

Hartford, Conn, Jan. 2l.-The State COM
mission appointed to arbitrate the dis
puted claims between Yale university and
Storrs Agricultural school growing out of
the diverting by the State of the govern
ment fund for agricultural colleges, held
final meeting yesterday and made the
award. The commission consists of ex-
Chief Justice John D. Park of Norwich,
ex-Judge Dwight LOOMS and the Hon.
Henry C. Robinson Of this city. The com
mission awards Yale college $l5i, 6O4,45 as
damages
The award is signed only by ex-Judge
LOOMS and the Hon. Henry c. Robinson,
as ex-Chief Justice Park dissents from the
conclusions He says that there should
only be nominal damages, If any, award
ed. Judge Park holds that Yale college
has received adequate pay for instructng
students in the art of agriculture, under
the provisions of the act of Congress and
the fund was paid to Yale for many years,
and now even If the State has broken the
contract, Yale is not required to educate
agricultural students free. as formerly.
TO rebut this view, Commissioners Loom
is and Robinson argue that Yale was COM
PEELED to eXpend much money in erecting
buildings and equipment for the special
instruction of agricultural students and is
greatly damaged by the transfer of the
fund from her to Storrs.
The items of the award are as follows:
Accumulation of the fund and damages
to October 1, 1894, $l35, 300; balance due Yale
as agreed. s10,47242; interest to Jan. 90 1896
ssS32 o. The money must now be paid by
the State to Yale university. The commits
sion has been considering the case for over
seven months, under the act passed by the
General Assembly.

Fed by Combustibie Oils the Building Was
Quickly Enveioped In Flames-Three
victims We're Roastod- Tried to
Save Pape g.

New Haven, Cam, Jan. 21.-The build
ing occupied by English and Mersick,
manufacturers of carriage hardware and
two other firms, was destroyed this morn
ing by a fire which started from an ex-
ploslon. Three lives were lost.
The killed are:
Joseph C. Hauscr, machinist, aged SO,
instantly killed
]. T. Toof, aged 49, burned to death.
Harbona Stevens, aged 81, burned to

were found in the ruins this afternoon.
The force of the explosion was some
thing terrific. The first intimation that
there was a fire in the building was the
appearance of immense sheets of flame
bursting through the windows and straight
across the street. An instant previous
there had been an explosion which shook
the centre of the city and was felt to a
lesser degree for distance of two or three
miles.
The alarm was Immediately rung, but.
before the department arrived at the
scene, the flames fed by oils and other
combustible material, had penetrated to
every portion of the building, and, shoot
