Most Formidable Fleet That Has De.

WASHINGTON, March 3O-The navy
department has received a dispatch say
ing that three Spanish warships have
left Carthagena, Spain. Their destina-
tion has not been learned as yet. The
news excited great interest at the navy
department.
WASHINGTON, March 3O.-It has been
learned later that the ships which left
Carthagena are the armored cruisers
Infanta Maria and Cristobal Colon and
the torpedo boat destroyer, Destructor
The ships are headed westward. This,
it is said is undoubtedly the most for
midable array of vessels that has de-
parted from Spain in this direction dur
ing the present crisis and the presump-
ton generally held by the navy depart
ment officials is that t hey are headed
ultimately for Havana, and will be first
heard of at the Canaries.

DIPLOMACY Nav Brine Peace,

WASHINGTON, March 3O.-The presi-
dent received this morning cablegram
from Minister Woodford at Madrid, in
which he confirms the published report
that he had an extended conference
with Premier Sagasta yesterday. No
definite conclusion was reached, as the
minister desires to place the matter
under consideration before the queen
regent and the other members of the
ministry. The conference was ad-
journed until tomorrow. Although
Mr.. Woodford does not give any de-
tails of what transpired at the meeting,
yet his message is very hopeful in tone
and gives the president hope that a
final settlement of the question at issue
may be determined at tomorrow's con.
ference. The main question discussed
at the meeting yesterday between Mr..
Wooaford and Premier Sagasta is
known to have been the prompt cessa.
ton of war in Cuba, the release of the
reconcentrados, with permission fol
them to return to their homes and re.
sumo their occupations without further
molestation. The exact lines upon
which Minister Woodford is at work for
final settlement of the Cuban ques.
ton cannot be stated. The concensus
of opinion, however, in administration
circles is that it involves Il settlement
upon an indemnity basis of something
less than 5000, ,OOO, 900.

ALsIP's CREDITORS.
His Wife Assigns Everything for
Their Benefit.

Just before Edwin X. Alsip surprised
the community by suddenly dropping
out of sight he decided to his wife all the
Counties, and the deeds were filed for
record on the day he disappeared.
AS the days passed by it was devel-
oped that Alsip owed large sums to a
great many individuals and banks in
this city, and his creditors had begun to
fear that they would get about zero on
the dollar for their claims-except those
who had been secured by mortgage or
other collaterals.
Now, however, the outlook is much
better, and the prospective relief comes
from an unexpected source. Mrs. Alsip
has generously come forward and made
an assignment of all the property left by
her husband and decided to her, such as
signment being for the benefit Of the
creditors of Mr. Alsip.
The assignment was made to Frank
Hickman, the well known real estate
dealer and insurance agent, who will at
the earliest possible moment take steps
to ascertain to what persons Alsip was
indebted and in what amounts. The
property will be sold to the best advan-
tage for the benefit of the creditors, and
it is thought that the loss, if any, will
be small.
1t is said that the debt of Alsip to the
Fair Oaks Colony Company will be set
tied in another way, so that the other
creditors will receive whatever is real
lied on the property.
