THE SPANISH REPLY
To Woodford's Note is Unknown Treaty Ne
 gotations in Progress.

Washington, Feb. Tt Is said at the state department that all attempts to state the nature of the Spanish reply to Minister Woodford's note of December last, at least so far as correspondents on this side of the Atlantic are concerned, are purely spec ulative and must be so of necessity for the reason that up to this time the depart ment itself does not know even the sub stance of the reply. This dsposes of the stories that have appeared to the effect that the administration had been deeply stirred by cablegrams from Minister Wood- ford relative to the Spanish answer.
 Senor Dupuy DeLome, the Spanish min- ister, called at the state department today and spent some time in consultation with MT. Kasson, the special plenipotentiary, talking over the proposed reciprocity trea- ties to be arranged between the United States and Spain. It is said the progress made so far is encouraging to both parties. The broad lines of policy have been laid down through the efforts of MT. Woodford in Madrid and MT. Kasson and De Lome in Washington, and the arrangement of the details of the treaties may be expected to begin at the next meeting. The Spanish minister has been informed that Dr. An guelo will come to Washington to repre- sent the autonomous government of Cuba in fixing the details of the treaties.

QUESTION oF 'OUlaGe. ]"
Liquor Men Want an Amendment to the Rev.
 enue Laws.

Washington, Feb. s.-A delegation repre- senting the distilling and wholesale liquor interests of the country appeared before the ways and means committee today to urge an amendment of the internal revenue law so that "outage" shall be allowed on liquor held in bond beyond four years. The delegation included representatives Of the National Wholesale Liquor Dealers as- sociation, the Kentucky Distillers' associ- ationand the Eastern Distillers' associa- ton.
 Under the present law, when whiskey is taken out of bond at the end of four years the government allows nine gallons for evaporation and leakage, but no allowance Is made beyond that period. The distillers urged that the same evaporation and leak ago continued beyond the foulr years and should be deducted from the quantity on which the $1-10 tax is levied. It was argued that the practical effect of the present law was to prevent the gauging of whiskey and to make the tax greater on old whis- key than that held only four years.
 In the course of the hearing Chairman Dingley remarked that he thought this subject should be considered in connection with the general question of fixing a just rate of taxation on spirits, although he said it was undesirable to take up the general question of tax until it was clearly established what the revenues of the government were to be under present laws. The hearing will continue Thurs day.

LIVELY RIOT IN CHICAGO
Students Do Battle With Forty
 Policemen.
BY SNOW BALL FIGHT
In Which the Policemen lnierfered Students 2000 Strong Proceeded to Lambast Them
 With Anything in Reach.

Chicago, Feb. S.-About 2O00 students of the Rush medical college, the Chicago col- lege of dental surgery and the Marquette school engaged in a desperate conflict this afternoon at Harrison and Wood streets with forty policemen. The battle ragged, with intermissions of peace, from noon un- til o'clock in the evening" The police were compelled to send in riot calls repeat edly, and in the early part of the scrim- mage they were badly worsted. It was 0 free for all, rough and tumble fight.
 When the students were finally put to rout they retreated to the college build ings. From, there they hurled down all kinds of missiles on the police, who were wildly chasing the offenders. glass jar filled with paste was thrown from the fourth floor of the college of dental sur gerry. It struck Policeman Bremen upon the right arm, knocking him to. the ground and forcing him to release his club, with which he was trying to chastiSe the fleeing students.
 Jantor Christie essayed to assist the po- licemen. The students fell upon him and he barely escaped with his life.
 The streets in the vicinity of the colleges were black with people. Twice prisoners were wrested from the police after being captured by the students. The students howled and jeered at the police. This de- fiance caused the police to lose control of themselves, and they rushed madly about In Wild enort to arrest every one in sight. Brandishing clubs and reyolvers they chased students inside the college doors and forcibly took them from the build ings.
 When the riot was over and peace reigned twenty-five of the students had been placed under arrest. The prisoners were taken to the Lake Street station, where they were kept until o'clock, when the last of them was bailed out.
 The trouble began by the students en- gazing in a snowball fight, in which the policemen interferred, and then the stu dents joined forces and attacked the of ficers. For time the row was good-na- tured, but the fighting soon became in earnest and numerous scrimmages result ed The grand battle began at p. m., when the officers arrested Carl Case, the son of professor in the dental school and who is said to have been innocent. The students took him away from the officers, and later, when another prisoner was locked in a patrol box. the students smashed the box, rolled the officers in the gutter and released the prisoners.
 During the fight four students were bad ly injured by clubbing, and Officers Sulli- van and Bremen were injured in a man. ner sufficiently severe to give them lay off one week or whereabouts.

ANOTHER STORY
Will Probably Be Added to 0hos Massive
 Capital.

Columbus. O., Feb. S.-,H. Sheeler, of Chicago, has made a proposition to lift the massive capitol of Ohio and piace another story under the structure.
 Sheelor says he will accomplish this re- marakable feat for $300,000 and Senator Miller of Licking county, has promised 10 introduce a bill to provide the funds for the undertaking. The present capitol is inadequate to the necessities of the wa riois state departments and the previous legislature provided for the remodeling of the structure. Plans have been adopted to this end, but the great expense that would be entailed has aroused opposition to the plans. The Ohio capitol built of native limestone, is one of the most massive buildings in the country and covers more than two acres. It is estimated that there are maany hundred thcusand tons of stone in the structure. MT Sheeler proposes to raise this immense structure without dis turbing a single occupant of the building. He would cut off the buileimg at the base and raise it with screws. This work alone would require a forest of timber, thousands of screws and the labor of a thousand men for three weeks. The entire work of com pleting the structure would occupy about three months MT. Sheeer's plans propose remodeling the dome and putting in ele- vators and all modern conveniences.

Kansas City, Mo, Feb. 8.-A scion of a prominent Mexican family languishing un- known in the Kansas state penitentfary for six years for murder done in self-de- fense, his pardon after three years of un- tiring effort on the part of the matron of that institution and their final marriage by justice of the peace, eliminating in a revelation of his Identity, are chapters in a most remarkable story of real life made public here today.
 The principals are Prescibiano L. Corpio, whose late father Prescifiana Corpio, was a millionaire and ex-postmaster genereral of Mexco and Mrs. Mattie U. Peebies, Of Dispatch, Kan, a widow. The story is most interesting.
 In the early eighties a young Mexican who gave his name as Camiiio Lspez came to Kansas City with a bunch Of cattle from Guanajuilto, Mexico, his home. He was a handsome, dashing fellow who dressed well and spent money freely. In a short time his money was gone. He went to Wichita, Kan, and made living as street vender. One night, after an unus- ually good days business, he was lured into a resort by Mrs. Sam Dodson. Dod- son soon arrived on the scene and began making trouble for the Mexican. Mrs. Dodson claimed in court later that Dod- son was demanding an explanation or tne Mexican's conduct and the Mexican said Dodson and his wife had tried to rob him. Al amy rate Lopez stabbed Dodson to death. Iopez could not talk English and he uhd not know how to go about a defense. The court assigned him an attorney and in the trial he was convicted of murder. Judge Christopher Reed sentenced him to thirty years in the peintentiary.

FREIGHT SHIPMENTS TO CHINA,
which Have Bearing on the Hawaiian Annexa
 ton Treaty.

Washington, Feb. 8.-Mr. James J. Hill called upon the senate committee on for eign relations today and submitted to Sem 6tor Davis certain statements respecting the freight shipments to China and Japan via the Northern Transportation lines and their steamship connections during the years lSyo and 1897, which Senator Davis thinks has an important bearing upon the Hawaiian annexation treaty and on our Oriental commerce.
 The senator says the figures show es- pecally the great interest of the cotton states in the situation. There went over these lines in 1S96-97 in cotton:
 From Missouri, 2O8, ,662 pounds; from Mis- sissippi, 337, ,045 pounds; from Texas, 33, ,441,- 6O5 pounds; from Alabama, 315.327 pounds; from Tennessee. 3,4O3 pounds; from New York, 295,SS0 pounds; total, 3i, ,S73 pounds.
 Still more remarkable, he thinks, Is the showing as to sheetings. Of these there went: From North Carolina. 2,517 ,9O7 pounds; from Virginia, 106, ,105 pounds; from Mississippi 40,4S0 pounds; from Alabama, 3S5, ,Si1 pounds; from South Carolina, 15,- 7O7 603 poun.s; from Georgia, 1894 ,707 pounds; from Ontario, &. .l25; total, 2O, ,654 1854 pounds
 Commenting upon the figures Senator Davis said: '"They disclose some very re- markable facts. The tonnage over these lines from Texas Is equal to the total from PennSyfVan1a ana OHlO. UT the manuIac- tured cotton goods 10000 tons came from the southern states and nothing from New England Mr. Hills statement demon- strates clearly the interest of the United States in the Asiatic trade and in changes that may occur in European intervention in Chinese commerce.
 They repressnt only exports from Puget sound to the Orient via three lines. It will be observed that not a pound of cotton or sheetings was carried by these companies from New England.
 These expectations of cotton and sheet ings from the southern states constitute about 20 per cent. of the entire exporta- tion and they are rapidly growing. The great trouble with the increase of this trade is the want of shipping to carry the amount that it Is pressing upon it and which can easily. be delivered by the trans portation lines at the various points on the Pacific coast. There are no American ships in the trade. The fact that 33,0o0. 900 pounds of cotton find their way to the Orient through these northern lines from Texas and 15.OO0.0O0 pounds of sheetings find their way over the same lines from the south to the Orient 1t is striking and sig nifcant commercially. It indicates the

THE NICARAGUA REVOLUTION Marines Landed for Protection
 of American Consulate. SAN JUAN DEL SUR CAPTURED Central Americans Hold That the Revolution Has Been Mistake From Beginning,
 and Is Doomed to Failure.

Washington, Feb S.-Captain Lutze in command of the Alert has cabled the navy department that he has landed the marines at San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, for the protection of the American consulate ow- ing to the fact that a revolution has broken out.
 Captain Leutze's despatches indicate that the revolution in Nicaragua is assuming a serious phase. In telegram sent yester day Captain Leutze said that the revolu- tionists had taken possession of the city of San Juan dsl Sur and that the govern ment troops were digging rifle pits in the suburbs preparatory to making an attempt to dislodge them. Today he telegraphed that the government forces were attacking the city and that he had landed a force of marines for the protection of the United States consulate and American interests generally.
 This afternoon another cablegram was received at the navy department telling of the progress of the evolutionary move ment at that end of the Nicaragua canal. The captain said that he had landed a force for the protection of the United States consulate and as the government forces had given notice of their intention to Lombard the town, he had taken on the Alert all of the women and children who cared for refuge. The bombardment began yesterday and in the end the insurgents were driven out of the town which was taken possession of by the government troops. The rebels retreated towards the Interior of the country.
 The opinion among Central Americans here is that the instruction has been a mistake from the beginning and that it is doomed to failure owing to the prepara- tions made by President Zelaya to meet the storm. The outcome of this uprising is awaited with much interest because 1t is fhe first real test that has been made of the ability of the Greater Republic to carry out that part of the triparite agreement that pledges united efforts to suppress re- bellion in any one state.
