SCANDAL CONDEMNED.
Commander Converse Denies Story That
Cruiser Has Been Injured.

Havana, March 12.-Commander Con-
verse, Of the cruiser Montgomery, re-
garding the report circulated in the
United States that the cruiser has been
injured. dictated today the following
statement:
The report is absolutely false. No
damage of any kind to the hull or ma
chinery has been done to the Mont
gomery during the nine months she has
been under my command.
Would it not be well for sensation
mongers to give some thought to the
feelings of the wives and other relatives
of the officers and crew at home before
causing deep alarm by such baseless
stories"
The court of inquiry did little work
today. The water was very rough,
making the work of the divers difficult.
1t is hard to see any marked advance
in the work of the wreckers. The
Montgomery was visited by several
Spanish army officers, accompanied by
two ladies, all coming on the governor
generals barge. The usual naval and
official courtesies were extended by
everybody to the officers and cadets of
the Austrian training ship Donau.

WHY THEY OBJECT.
English coIIegians Afraid of Meeting Men
Not Strictly Amateurs.

New Haven, March 12.-The executive
committee of the intercollegiate Athletic
Association met here this afternoon to
consider the letter received from the Eng
lish universities regarding an international
athletic meet.
Oliver Shiras OF Cornell was appointed
manager of the next intercollegiate meet.
The letter from Cambridge University
Athletic Union is as follows:
e. y. A. G, Gaius College, p, 2, 'sS.
Dear Sir = In acknowledging the chal-
lenge you sent us from the American uni
versities, l promised that the. matter
should receive our full consideration. and
ton with the Oxford U. A. C.
The two committees have considered the
various difficulties to be overcome. On
some of the points you were willing most
kindly to consult our convenience; others
could no doubt be removed by subsequent
arrangement. But there is one great diff
ficulty which we fear makes it impossible
to arrange at the present time any meet
ing between the American and the English
universtles-the status of representatives
of this club as amateurs and as students is.
and is rightly required to be, beyond sus-
picion. But if we are properly advised,
these points are not equally clear in the
case Of some American universities and
colleges.
We gladly recognized that some of your
colleges are doing their best to remove
such difficulties, and your letter further
assures us of your wish to render the
status Of your members beyond suspicion.
We trust that this result may soon be at
tained, but for the present we feel that
the most prudent course in the interest OF
amateur athletics. both of America and of
England. is to decline your proposals un-
der existing conditions.
We thank you for your letter and your
invitation, and hope that at no distant
date, it may be possible to arrange such a
meeting as you are good enough to pro-
pose. / am yours faithfully.
F. L. Caller, President c. Y. A. c.
No formal action was taken on the let
ter, the matter going over to the next
meeting of the committee.
President l. N Swift of the Intercol-
legiate Track Athletic Association said
that he had decided to call the adjourned
meeting of the executive committee on
March Is, in New York.

NEW PLACE FOR THE CLOCK
The Cheerful OiaIs on the Old City Hall
to Be Put on the Fire Headquarters.

The Illuminated clock in the tower of the
old City Hall is to find home in the
tower of the new fire department head
quarters if the committee on public build
ings of the city council has its say in the
matter 1t will be remembered that an
order was introduced at recent meeting
of the city council instructing the commit
tee to consider the advisability of trans
ferling the clock to the new tower, and at
subsequent meeting of the committee
Alderman Mellen was appointed a sub
committee to confer with a clock authority
in Boston relative to the possibility of the
clock being seen at such height as 1t will
occupy in its new home-1SS feet from the
ground. Alderman Nellen reported that
1t could be seen all right, according TO
those who are in a position to know such
things, and as Architect Clemence of the
new headquarters says he can easily pro-
vide a place for the clock in his plans the
committee voted at a meeting held Satur-
day afternoon to recommend to the city
council Monday evening the adoption Of an
order providing for the transfer Of the
clock at an estimated cost of $3.50.

Boston. March 12--Claims amounting
to $4,000 have accumulated against the
North American Mining & Transporta-

now lying at the National dock, East
Boston, has been libelled in the United

A SPENCER FIRE.
An Early Morning Blaze That Destroys a
Dwelling House.

A two-story and a half house owned
by Peter Plouffe, situated on the Oak
ham road, about four miles from Spen-
GER was totally destroyed by fire at an
early hour Sunday morning. The occu-
pants of the house awoke about -
o'clock to find the building in flames,
and barely escaped with clothes enough
to dress with.
An alarm was given at Ito a. m, but
before the department arrived the house
was beyond saving. The barn, which
stood nearby, was saved.
The occupants of the house are Peter
Plouffe and family on the first floor, and
a son of Mr. Plouffe on the second. L.
Tebeau, who was visiting the family
barely escaped alive.
The loss is placed between $500 and
$4,000.

SPLENDID WORK.


pacific utterances, the Correo says:
The presidents attitude, his declara-
tions in favor of peace, and his tempo,
rizing with Spain arise not alone from
the necessity of demonstrating before
Europe that the United States are not
the provokers, but that they have done
all in their power to maintain peace.
Most of all do they arise also from Nc
Kinley's knowledge that until now the
United States have not been warlike
nation, and are unprepared for war
with Spain whose naval and military
resource and whose dash are perfect
ly well known there. This is the real
reason why Mckinley offers opposition
to the rupture Of hostilities. He fore
sees war, but wishes to give his coun-
try time TO prepare for it,"
