where they tied the high priest of the
sacred Black Cat to one of the right feet
of Buddha, and left him screaming in

DENY KNOWLEDGE OF 1T.
State officials Interviewed on Report
of Indemnity Demanded of Spain.

Washington, Dec 25.-Secretary of
State Sherman was seen tonight regard
ing a story cabled from Madrid to the
effect that the United States demanded
of Spain $S.000,000 indemnity to Amer
lean traders for damages sustained
through the rebellion in Cuba. The sec
rotary states if any sucn demand had
been made he had not he I'D of it.
Judge Day, assistant secretary of
state. said:
$50 far as ! know there is absolutely
nothing in the story. Some one may
have attempted to foot al the individ-
ual claims that have been filed, but even
on that supposition. | should not attempt
to say their estimate was correct"
At the Spanish legation it was said
that no information had been received
of any such action. The legation has
heretofore been notified of the filing of
all individual claims, but it was thought
improbab BILE that any claim in bulk would
be made.
