Some friction has resulted from the ar

been at the disposal of the United States
government, the cruiser Alfonso Nil should

not all In accordance with the ideas of Cap
tain Sigsbee. and when the Fern left her
buoy he watched carefully the movements
of the Alfonso Kill This cruiser, having no
boilers in her, was lowed TO the anchorage
that had been occupied by the Fern. Cap
tain sigsbee politely expressed his opinion
to tho admiral of the port that the govern
ment had given that berth to the United
States Tor the time and It, was therefore
naturally expected that the Montgomery
occupy u when she arrived to replace the
sunker Maine.
The Alfonso XIII had then been towed to
the buoy and representative of the I'D
mral explained that the Montgomery was to
90 to more distant anchorage This would
group the Vi2caya, oquendo ana Alfonso and
a gunhoat between the Montgomery and the
harbors mouth at MORO castle, which might
mean nothing or something, according us
"reminiscences might arise.
he American captain thereupon said that
this was not his understanding of the ar
rsngement but that he would report to his
superors the manner In which the Mont
Somery had been disposed of Then he was
toiu mat II the arrangements were deemed
unsuitable the Montgomery would be given
the berth vacated by the Fern. All this con-
ference was marked by extreme politeness

back to her old berth near the Regla and the
