ABSORBING T0 DYNAMITE Spanish Lay Plans to Blow Up
 American Consulate. GEN. LEE UNDER PROTECTION Gen. Banco Writes of Spanish Victories Much
 inc Same as Did Weyer, the
 Great Butcher.

Havana Dec, 15.-A small box, apparent ly made to contain samples of some de- scription, was found this morning at Casa Neuva where the United States consulate Is situated. An examination of the box showed it to contain tube filled with an explosive substance. Fortunately the cover was not removed in the ordinary way, but was splintered open. Underneath the cover was a piece of sand paper, intended to light a box of matches and thus bring about an explosion. On Nov. A last a tube said to contain dynamite was found on the premises of the United States consulate at Havana by a man who was subsequent ly arrested by the private watchman of the consulate, but the affair was classed as joke and the man arrested was be- lieved to have been the individual who placed the tube where 1t was found. In order to guard against any possible at tempt hostile to the consulate or it's in- mates, the Spanish officials took precau- tions to protect the building and Consul General Lee.

ktQUlelll0k PAPERS
For Kidnapper Albert s. Warner to Be Made
 Out Today

Albany, N. T., Dec. l5.-Requisition pa- pers for Albert s. Warner, the kidnapper who was caught in Kansas City, will be made out tomorrow. The story that woman betrayed Warner to the police is denied here by Chief of Police Willard. A telegram from Detective McCann to this city details that he had traced Warner through many states. Warner told Mc- Cam that after his escape from Conway and his friends in the woods near here, he boarded train. When near Schnectady he feared that the conductor knew who he was and before the train reached the town he jumped from it and walked to Kings ton. seventy-six miles, where he took n train for Jersey City. He stayed there him, but he got away and felt so blue over his prospects that he had decided to give himself up to the police. He was walking to the police station for that purpose when he saw a bicycle standing at the curb in front of a store. He made up his mind to flee. Jumping on the wheel he rode off and kept going until he reached Riley, Kas. He went south and into Tennessee and Alabama, and as far west as New Mexico and north as far as St. Paul, Minn. travelling from city to city. He then re- turned to Kansas City. He pawned the bicycle a few days ago.

Whitebeck's Story

Victoria. B. C., Dec 15.-Purser White beck of the wrecked steamer, Cleveland reached this city at noon today. He tells the following story of the wreck
 'The Cleveland, which was running be- tween San Francisco and Puget Sound left Seattle When out two days during a most sever gale her shaft broke. Sails were then hoisted, but she was buffelted about by the storm for four days, being carried finally into Barc'ay Sound on the night of Decem- Der 10, by the west entrance, close to Star light Reef. Four boats were lowered The captains boat made Alpha Passage and signaled to the other boats to follow. but they failed to do so and after that time nothing was seen of them. Captain Hale landed safely on the beach after going through the Alpha passage and spent the night there
 'The Cleveland finally went ashore on the northwest shore of Barclay sound As soon as she had been located Capt. Hale. again took charge, but he found that the Indians had been there and footed the vesseLT There is little doubt that the three boats con- taining twenty men of the crew and two passengers have met with disaster
 The vicinity where the Cleveland went ashore has bad reputation among marine men, there being many dangerous reefs, over which terrible surf breaks.

A TOTAL WRECK.
The Steamer Cleveland Beached on West Coast
 of Vancouver Island.

San Francisco, Dec. 15.-Uncertainty as to the fate of the overdue steamer Cleve- land, which sailed from this port for Seat tie on Dec. 6, was ended by the receipt of dispatch from Captain Hale, the master, addressed to the owner, Captain Charles Nelson, of this city. The steamer is a total wreck on the west coast of Vancou- yer island. in Barclay sound, twelve miles north of Cape Beale
 The vessel broke down during storm off the mouth of the Columbia river. De- spite the warning of Captain Hale, who ad- vised the men to stick to the ship until she was beached, twenty-two men launch- ed and manned the small boats. None of these boats have yet been heard from, and it Is feared they are lost, although it is possible they may have landed on the coast of Vancouver island at some remote point.

BRYAN RECEIVED BY D|Az Accorded an Audience by the
 President Yesterday. IS UNIVERSALLY POPULAR Interviewed by Representatives of All the Lead ing Journals and Called the Tribune of
 the American People.

Mexico City, Dec. 5.-President Diaz today accorded an audience to MT. Bryan and party and the ladies were charmed with Mrs. Diaz. who speaks English perfectly and showed them the presidential apart ments in the castle of Chapultepec.
 MT. Bryan has been a busy man today having visited the cathedral and the Acade- my of Fine Arts. He was especially pleased with the great paintings of the Valley of Mexico. Then MT. Bryan had his hair cut, giving him youthful appear ance.
 President Raoul of the Mexican National railway gives him a dinner tomorrow and the party will visit the famous magnificent church at Villa De La Guadaloupe, en- shrning the miraculous image of the saint tomorrow.
 On his return he will be given popular reception in the School of Mines, a national edifice, where General Grant was lodged in his journey through this country. The building is described as being the most appropriate as many people, Mexican and American, desire to greet the champion of free silver
 On visiting the palace of Chapultepec MT. Bryan made remark which occasioned favorable comment:
 "I might say I am surprised at the prog ress of this republic. The Monroe doctrine was promoted for the prevention of ex- tending monarchal institutions on this con- tinent. Mexico and the United States will uphold the torch of freedom before the na- tions of the world and prove that the gov ernments gain their just power from the consent of the governed, and not from the rights of hereditary power."
 The newspapers all publish articles eu- logistic of MT. Bryan and bidding him well come to Mexico. He is being interviewed by reporters of all the leading journals and is cordially greeted and applauded wher- ever he goes. One journal calls him the heroic and popular young tribune of the American people.
