SERIOUS DISASTER.
Late News About the Spaniards Con-
frmed.

New York, March ia Press special
from Havana, via Key West, Fla, says:
News that the Spanish forces have met
with a serious disaster in the west is con-
/ firmed. 1t IS learned through a reliable
source that q train carrying 900 troops,
while going from ArtemiSa to some south
ern point, was blown up by Cubans, more
than 300 troops being killed or wounded.
The details gave a tragic coloring, The
Cubans had learned that the troops were
to be sent on that train. They mined a
long high trestle crossing St. Carman
channel. This bridge is more than so
feet high. The mines were exploded as
the train was passing over it, with ter
rible effect. Half of the entire train was
lifted IN and thrown into the deep
channel below.
The force of the explosion was terrific
the ground being torn ur for a great
distance. The cries of the wounded and
the shouts of those unhurt added to the
excitement.
AS the remainder of the troops rushed
out of the ruins they were met with a
whitening fire from the concealed Cubans
and dozens fell at the first volley. The
engagement lasted an hour. the Spaniards
bravely fighting behind cars. but it was
of no avail, and to save their lives they
The cars that had gone down caught
fire and were entirely destroyed, many
soldiers being. caught in them and burned
to death. More than 800 troops were
found to be missing, and are supposed to
have been killed.
The Cubans lost possibly 40 men. All
the prisoners were released save the
officers who were held for the safety
Of eight insurgent officers at Artemisa,
who had been sentenced to death by the
Spanish commander, and Colonel Penso
the Cuban commander, sent word that
if these men were shot he would order
his hostages to be killed. and that 20 of
the soldiers would be shot, too, in re-
venge for Cuban soldiers shot there last
week.
1t IS said that the Cuban officers Were
released from Artmeisa.

Botassi's Warm Thanks.

Washington, March 16.-Secretary
Sherman today sent to the senate a
note received from Mr.. D. N. Botassi.
consul-general of Greece at New York.
transmitting a cablegram from the
Greek minister of foreign affairs in ac-
acknowledgements of the resolution
passed by the senate before the ex-
piration of the last session expressing
sympathy with the Cretan revolution
lists The cablegram is as follows:
ITO the United States Senate: The
warm thanks of the Greek nation, as
we'll as of the government of Greece.
are due for the expression OF its sym
pathies, which are most valuable
assistance to us toward the accom-
plishment of our national aspirations"
The consul general adds on his own
behalf that the resolution has made
most favorable impression on the
Greeks in the United States. who.
while enjoying the blessings of liberty
in this country under her liberal laws.
are in hearty sympathy with their
motheriand in her efforts to free their
oppressed Brethren

FRIENDLY FEELINGS.
Sherman Seems Disposed to Encour-
age Them as Far as He Possibly
Can.

Washington, March 16.-There is
every indication of a much freer inter-
change of views and of condolences be-
tween the state department and the
committee on foreign relations of the
senate since the advent of the new
administration. The visit of Secretary
Sherman to the capitol this afternoon
was entirely unexpected and the first
that was known of his visit was when.
after his luncheon. a messenger in
formed Chairman Davis that Mr.. Sher-
man was at the committee room An
impromptu meeting was called, and for
an hour the committee and the new
secretary of state conferred about our
relations with other powers.
Mr.. Sherman was naturally anxious
to know what Roadway had been made
with the arbitration treaty, and when
he was told that it was expected to
make a favorable report tomorrow the
secretary expressed his pleasure. It is
we'll known that President Mckinley
and his secretary subscribe to the
treaty and the purposes for which it
was negotiated, but believe it should
be amended in some respects.
There was also considerable discus
sion relative to the construction of the
Nicaraguan canal, q question which is
bound to come prominently to the front
during this congress. Mr.. Sherman is
favorable to this project, but has taken
the ground III his speeches in the SEN
ate that the canal should be con-
structed through the instrumentality
of the United States alone, rather than
through the agency of a private cor
poration, aided and assisted by this
government in the matter of bonds

! Washington, March 16.-The filibus-
and Cuba occupied the attention of the
cabinet today. Attorney General Nc
Kenna gave his views of permitting
filibustering steamers to clear for
Cuban ports with arms and munitions
of war;
A general discussion followed his re-
marks. The Encouragement has de-
cided not to render an opinion in the
case of the steamer Dauntless, until he
can obtain additional facts relating to
the application of her owners to clear
from Jacksonville with arms and am
munition. Under ordinary circum-
stances, the application would be
granted without question; but the fact
that the Dauntiess or any other vessel
would be obliged to clear for some
Cuban port held by the Spanish, put a
new phase on the matter The cargo
could not be landed there, and the yes
sci would be seized. This would make
IT necessary for a vessel to attempt to
land the cargo at some point along the
coast, and in order to deliver the arms
and ammunition to the insurgents, an
armed force would be necessary. The
knowledge of this lsSises the question
whether the men necessary TO carry
out the plans made for a filibustering
vessel would not constitute an armed
expedition, q clear violation of the law.
The encouragement will have to de-
eide whether the force likely to be
taken on the Dauntless is an armed
expedition within the meaning of the
law.
Permission was given the steamer
Commodore to clear for a Cuban port
-
the vessel was wrecked before reach
ing the Cuban coast.

association and another gentleman
called on Governor Black today and
presented him with a protest against
his reviewing the st. Patrick's day
celebration parade in this city tomor-
row, on the grounds that the paraders
would carry a green flag
The protest was signed by the secre-
tary of the American Protestant Alli-
ance. The protest was handed to Gov
ernor Black, who, after glancing at it,
threw it aside and gave it no further
attention.
These gentlemen also waited upon
Lieutenant Governor Woodruff, who
told them that he believed that the
Irishmen had just as much right to
carry the Irish flag in America as the
Americans would have 10 carry the
stars and stripes in London

London, March 16.-The Standard
Athens saying that up TO this evening
the government had received no official
information that the fleets of the pow
ers were blockading Crete. A dispatch
from Vienna to the same paper says
that representatives of the powers in
ConStantinople have been instructed
with the task of framing a scheme of
autonomy for Crete. Their work will
he partly facilitated by consultations
with the porte.
Inc Chronicle, Daily Mail and Tele-
graph correspondents with the Greek
forces on the Thessalian frontier all
concur in their description of the rapid
massing and continual drilling of the
troops. They add that the excitement
and enthusiasm of the soldiers are a
dangerous element of the situation, as
trifie may start a conflict with the
Turkish forces on the frontier, who are
in sight of the Greeks.
The Rome correspondent of the Daily
News says that he has reliable infor-
nation that Greece is now more dis
posed to adopt a conciliatory attitude
toward the powers. He adds that
Greece proposes to concentrate her
troops at some easy victualed point on
the coast of Crete where they will be
separated from the insurgents. She
also proposes that the Ottoman troops
shall be placed at some points removed
from the insurgents. so that the pow
ers themselves may pacify the rebels.
Then it will be expected that Cretans
will be allowed to choose Freely be-
tween autonomy and annexation to
Greece. If they choose autonomy, the
Greek and Turkish forces will leave
the island at the same time. Little re-
lance is placed on this dispatch here
The powers insisted that their de-
mands as set forth in the identical note
to Greece should be acceded to in their
entirety and after Greece's reply to the
note had been received refused to en-
ter into any further negotiations on
the subject. 1t has been repeatedly
stated that the powers would not con-
sent TO a Dlebiscite in Crete to decide
whether an autonomous government
should be esta blished or the island en-
neXed to Greece, and consequently it
is believed it will be impossible that
Greece should now make such propo-
sal Furthermore, the powers have de-
clared that the Greek troops must
leave Crete before the Turkish forces. |
and it is to compel compliance with |
these demands that the blockade of !
the island has been commenced.

Meeting of the Cabinet.

Athens, March ia prolonged
meeting of the cabinet was held today.
The ministers discussed, at great
length, the attitude to be taken in the
event of the powers attempting to CO.

demands 1t is stated that no dispo-
sition was shown to accede to the de-
mands, and that it was finally decided

possible solution of the difficulty 1t is

meant declaration of war against

There is Some Doubt.

London, March 16.-Some doubt ex-
lists as to whether or not the blockade
of Crete has actually commenced, not
withstanding the statement of Prime
Minister Salisbury in the house of
lords that orders had been given to
put the blockade into operation at
once. The special dispatches sent from
Canea today make no mention of the
ports having been closed by the war
ships of the powers.
