CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. ia story was
sent out from here last night purport-

ment between distinguished Minnesota
Republicans. 1t was stated that Mer-
riam and Pillsbury had fallen out, and
that they had poured their troubles
into the ears of Mark Anthony Hanna,
chairman of the Republican national
committee. The tale was woven out Of
whole cloth by a correspondent who
aimed at sensationalism pure and sim

ever, further than that both Mr. Mer-
riam and Mr.. Pillsbury were in Chi

and had pleasant chats with Mr.. Han

Mckinley would carry the North Star
state, but neither so much as suggest

A STRING ON THE LAURADA.
Promise to- Spain That the Fill
buster Will BE Watched.


MADRID. Aug. 1s-The Duke of
Tetuan, Spanish minister of foreign af-
fairs, has received a Washington dis
patch giving satisfactory assurances
regarding the alleged filibustering ex-
pedition of the Laurada
WASHINGTON Aug. 16.-The steam
er Laurada, referred to in the Madrid
dispatch, has figured frequently in the
claims made by Spanish authorities
that American merchants there were
engaged in filibustering operations. In
January last the then captain Of the
vessel was indicted in the federal
courts of South Carolina, but was ac-
quilted after jury trial. Frequent
reference has been made to the expert
eEce of the Laurada at Mayport, Flor
Ida, In May last. The captain on that
occasion failed to take out health pa
pers required by law, and this led to
the surveillance of the Laurada by a
Spanish war vessel 1t was claimed
that ten Cubans were located on board,
and that quantities of war material
and dynamite were thrown in the
water after the Spanish war vessel
put in an appearance. 1t was also
represented at the time of the appear
ance of the Spanish cruiser that thirty
men were drowned owing to the pre-
cipitous haste in getting ashore to
avoid apprehension. The Spanish au-
thorities claimed that the United
States had taken no proceedings to-
ward seiZing the vessel or arms in ac-
cordance with the neutrality laws. All
the state department officials were alb
sent from the city tonight, so no state
ment could be obtained from that
quarter.

CLASH.

wEYLER PLAYED THE DEspor.
Suicide to Escape Court
Martial.

KEY WEST, Fla, Aug. 16.-Captain
General Weyler and Gen. Ochando
were the principals in a sensational
affair which occurred shortly before
the latter sailed for Spain. The death
of Gen. Ochando's nephew, who was
lieutenant in the Spanish army, was
the cause of the trouble. There were
ugly rumors in circulation rejecting
on the young lieutenant, who was ac-
cused Of conducting a. reasonable cor
respondence with Maxine Gomez, the
insurgent chief When Weyler heard
OF the rumors he summoned the young
man to the palace and questioned him.
Weyler was apparently satisfied of the
young mans guilt and told him that if
he did not commit suicide in twenty
four hours he would be court-mar-
tailed and shot
The lieutenant left the palace, went to
his room. and in six hours was a
corpse, having shot himself through the
heart. The affair was hushed up and
the Spanish official report said the
young man died of yellow fever.
Shortly afterwards Gen. Ochando ar
rived in Havana and learned the true
story of his nephew's death. He was
greatly enraged. He Immediately went
to the palace to call Weyler to account.
The meeting of the generals was most
sensational. Ochando denounced Wey-
Ter in the bitterest terms, alleging that
the lieutenant was guiltless and had
been driven to his death. Ochando
termed Weyler a murderer and butcher
and challenged him to a duel. The men
drew swords and would have fought In
the palace but for the interference Of
other officials. Two days later Gen.
Ochando sailed for Spain. He is great
ly enraged and says he will make the
affair public when he reaches Spain
and demand Weyler's recall

the receivers of the Union Pacific rail-
Way to reduce the fixed scale of wages
Of employees. The suit is brought to
compel the receivers to restore wages
to the fixed schedule in effect in 1894,
when Judge Caldwell ordered that no
cut In wages should be made except on
order of the court. The plaintiffs
specify where this order has been vio-
lated, and further charge that officials
Of the company discriminate against
old and faithful employees of the COM
pany who are members Of the order in
favor of young and inexperienced men
who are not. 1t is also alleged that
officials are seeking to disintegrate the
order by threats and hints at discharg-
ing it's members, and thus induce the
men to keep quiet in regard to griev-
ances and to cease from endeavoring
to induce new men to join the order.
