STIRRING UP STRIFE
The Madrid impartial Grows Exceed
ingly Bellicose

MADRID, March 15.-The impartial
says: yesterday We received two tele-
grams from New York which have not
been published. They deal with war prep
arations and concern not only street
jingoism but high officials of the American
government, who in view of their position
ought to observe discreet attitude"
The Impartial follows with a truculent
denunciation of Americans, who, 1t says.
are Trying to frighten Spaniards by in
voking the phantom of war, of which they
are more afraid than the Spaniards."
1.-The United States is country" says
the Imparcial 'of bellicoSe self-adver-
tisement. BY moving vessels to and fro
she is trying to make believe that her
forces are greater than they really are.
We sincerely advise these bogey men not
to waste their time and money"
1t is asserted in we'll informed circles
that the negotiations in New York as to
the commercial treaty are paving the way
for an understanding between the Cuban
government and the insurgents on grounds
to be submitted for approval to the home
government. The aspect of affairs has un-
dergone a complete change and there is
strong feeling in favor of peace between
the United States and Spain. 1t is alleged
that knowledge of the fact led Mr.. Curzon,
parliamentary secretary for the British
foreign office to decline yesterday to reply
to the questions put by Michael Davitt,
anti-Parnelite member for South Mayo,
as to whether Great Britain had offered to
mediate.

Strongest in the World.

The annual statement Of thu Equit-
able Life Assurance society, publishe d
toby, Mi a.es that this great society
is the strongest life insurance company
in the world. This statement contains
the following items: Assurance in force.
1851, 165. 1877 90: surplus over all liabili-
ties, $50. $40, ia. "a. According to the
Avs Of thu s ate of New York, the liza
bilities and surplus of a life insurance
company uare bas d on the supposition
that per cent can be earned on in
vested assets. If the liabilities of the
Equitable wee computed on the by
pothesis that the assets o: the society
could only earn 3 per cent interest, the
surplus would still amount to over
twenty-nine million dollars.
The above. however, are not the
only amounts that are of int rest to
present, or prospective insurers. For
example, all policy holders of the So
ciety, aud as q matter of fact all who
are interested in successful institut ons,
will be interested in the following:
Assets, 1926, $40, 3O8 .O4; income, S48, Str
269 SO; paid policy holders in 1897, S21,-
LOG, BAH: new assurance written in
1897. S156 ,955 ,693.OO
One very interesting item in this
exhibit should be potent factor in
warning intending Insurers n t to de-
av. The item referred to is that
which shows that during 1897 appli-
Giants for over 1874 OOO, 900 of insurance
were examined and tt en- declined; this,
TOO. in spite of the fact that each ap-
plicant smust have considered him
elf in good physical condition at the
time of his application.

Trial by Rapid Transit.

l M. Lawrence came off the district
court perch this morning with colore
flying. He was in 'icted at his own re-
quest for murder, on account of his
b having sent q certain Aztec gentleman
to the spiritual sulphur pits across lots
with shot gun, On finding him bur-
glarizing his corral. 1t was not be-
'ieved necessary for Mr.. Lawrence to
do anything as the grand jury would
ignore any Indictment for murder in
the premises. But Mr.. Lawrence
feared that while everything was all
right at present, the time light come
when with witnesses gone and means OF
disproof limited by time, he would be
at the mercy of any i'll meaning person
wishing to cause him trouble in the
courts or otherwise on account of the
shooting. So he brought the legal
boil to heal very quickly by securing
his own indictment, and this morning
was arraigned for trial.
The facts in the case were quickly
presented, spd it took the jury ju-t
three quarters of a minute, WITHOUT
leaving their seats, to acquit Mr.. Law
renee. He was subsequently copgrat-
ulated by the jurymen, although they
did say he ought to have been fl ed
$50 for not killing the other Mexican

The opera house was crowded to the

evidenced by the applause throughout
the entire show.

They do not give the usual min. trel

are all new and their songs the very

Owing t. the fact that the opera

special scenery which they carry with
them. This scenery is the finest tn It
has ever been brought to this city, and
1t Is to be reg cited that it could not
be used. When the troupe arrived last
evening the stage manager saw at q
glance that it would be impossible to
use any of the scenery, so it was not
moved from the car.
