AN pNFoUNDED REPORT.
Spain is Not Asking for More Time to Paci-
fy Cuba.

Washington, d. c., March L.
Concerning published report that the
Imitation of time suggested by the
United States to Spain for the pacih-
cation of Cuba, expires today, March
LIST, and that the Spa nish government
was now earnestly negotiating at
Washington to secure Il two months
extension OF the time, an official, whose
position makes him completely familiar
with all such negotiations. said.
1.-The report is absolutely false in
every particular. No time limit ex-
pires today or at any other specified
date. and for that reason there are no
negotiations in progress or contem-
plated for two months extension or
for any other extension. The report is
an invention throughout"
Recent negotiations between the
United States and Spain have been con-
fined to the, proposed commercial ar
rangements between this country and
Spain, and also between this country
and Cuba. These negotiations were
carried well along by Minister Wood
ford and Senior Polo Y. Bernabe, the
new minister OF Spain. The later sailed
from Gibraltar yesterday and It Is un-
derstood that he has with him the draft
of the new arrangement with Spain.
There will be two distinct conventions,
one between the United States and
Spain, concerning their commercial ex-
changes, and the other relating exclu-
sively to the trade between Cuba and
the United States.

SPAIN NOT TO BLAME.


That Is Secretary Longs Personal View OF
the Maine Horror.
Washington, ID. c., March 1.-Secrc-
tary Long was seen shortly after the
cabinet meeting and stated that in his
judgment any official participation
by the Spanish government In the
blowing up of the Maine was practi-
cally eliminated. This statement was
made as an expression of the seore-
tary's personal opinon.It gained speedy
circulation, however, and was elabor-
ated into the point of being an official
declaration that the element of Span
ish responsibility for the Maine disas-
ter was no longer to be considered.
When Mr.. Long returned to the navy
department re was asked to the ex-
act nature of this statement. He said
II had been rather n casual and passing
allusion. more In the line of u re-
Spouse to some courteous questions
from the vigilant representatives of the
press. He said that he had intended to
say that there was an abatement in the
agitation and excitement over the sub
ject. As to Spanish responsibility he
said that any official participation by
the Spanish government in the blow
ing up of the Maine was practically
eliminated in my judgment. Mr.. Long
desired to have 1t clearly understood
that this was an express of his
individual judgment and not an official
declaration to be construed as n con-
clusion drawn from evidence submitted
| to him.
Later as a means of disposing of all
| doubt az to the exact nature of the
secretary's language he dictated the
following statement: 1.-The main thing
we talked about In the cabinet was
outrages on postmasters, one n white
| man in Georgia. and one a CulOrpl man
in South Carolina.
I'm regard to the Cuban situation ]
said 1 thought things were growing
auieter every day and as far as my
! judgment went was inclined to think
that any official participation on the
part of the Spanish government in the
disaster was now practically eimi-
| mated -

hoffman and Gizer In a footrace,

Charley Hoffman is described as n
seven-footer who thinks he can run,
while Charley Gizer is said to be an
unassuming short man who thinks he
can't run. Well, as the story goes, these
two men got together last Sunday for
a footrace and the result was, that
Glzer outdld his companion by nearly
half way In n race covering the dis
lance OF a block. The sprintlng match
took place near Fishers Brewery, and
what joy was there when Hoffman,
the self-confldent, scored such an un-
qualified defeat. 1t Is said that Fishers
maltsters laughed as they never did be-
fore, to see that little fellow, get away
SO easily with that big fellow.

A QUESTION OF PRICE.
State Land Board Wrestles With the Figures on
Agricultural Lands.

The State land board held Its regu-
lar session today, the time being taken
up largely on the question of the mini
mum price to be charged for agricul-
tural lands selected from the govern
ment grants. Heretofore the board
fixed the minimum price at $3.50 per
acre, or % cents higher than the gov
crnmcnt figure for homesteads.
Today State Senator A. J. Evans ap-
peared before the board and presented
the view of the case that the price
iixed was a mistake, and the State
would do better by making the mini
mum $l25, and at the same time be
accommodating the people. who would
then prefer taking State lands to filing
upon homesteads. This does not mean
that only SIPS will be obtained for the
sland, but the APPLICANT guarantees
the State that much. and pays as much
more as the land will bring in the open
market at the time of public sale,
Mr.. Evans made n strong showing,
and when the four members of the
board voted on the proposition to re-
woke the former rule and reduce the
price, the vote stood two to two. This
being a tie, Governor Wells Will be re-
CURED to cast the deciding vote, and
now has the matter under advisement.
Other business before the board was
on the selection OF grazing lands; also
the matter of leasing n tract of grazing
land in Utah county to a company
which has made application therefor.
This business was occupying the
boards attention this afternoon.
