THERE WILL BE NO ALLIANCE
Declared to Be Contrary to the Tradi
 ditiOns of the United States.

London, March 13.-A Sunday pa per published in special from its Berlin correspondent an interview with United States Ambassador White on the attitude of the United States towards Spain and the Cuban situa- tion Ambassador White, according to this dispatch, declared that the statement that the United States had entered into an alliance with England and Japan was absolutely without foundation. "The Americans" Mr. White is reported to have said, twill never bind themselves by such an al liance. President McKinley's admin istration cannot act against the tra- ditions which holds all such compli- cations in Americas international re- lations as wrong. Least of all, will it do this for the sake of our interests in the far east.
 'The fear of war with Spain must not be taken too seriously A s5O,- 100000 credit is no proof that the United States is going to war, since the government has long demanded such credit for the purpose of har- Dor defenses.

SPAIN WILL NOT BE ALONE.
Her Plan of Campaign in the Event Q
 War.

Madrid, March 13-The view held in official circles is that Spain will not provoke a war, because if she did she would find herself isolated, but if America gives provocation Spain will not be alone in the struggle The gen. eral opinion is that in the event of war Spain will not need to attack Amer ican territory. It will suffice her to pursue war of privateering. As Americas commerce Is seven-fold greater than Spain's, American in terests would suffer most. War would benefit neither nation and good sense therefore counsels peace.
 Fl Imparcial says: "The government is momentarily expecting to receive the report of the Spanish commission, which it is un- derstood will maintain that the Maine explosion was internal. AL though the American commission may give another explanation, the govern ment will energetically uphold the Spanish report"

Mr. Kramer reports that applications
from young ladies wishing to take part
in the living flag have been somewhat slow
in coming in. This delay is rather unfortu-

The examination of ]. ]. Hale on a charge
of assault to murder Charles N Wright in
the Rival restaurant, lis West Second
street, on the Goth of last month was held
before Justice Morrison yesterday. Hale
went into the place badly intoxicated and
drank cup of coffee. How long he re-
mained he does not remember, but he did
recall that Wright had been shaking him,
apparently as If to waken him. Hale
claimed that knockout drops had been adj
ministered to him In the coffee. for after
leaving the place he discovered that a
handsome diamond was missing from his
shirt bosom.
Hale reported the matter to the detectives
and in the evening called at the restaurant
and accused Wright of taking the stud and
asked him to return 1t. Wright had been
warned earlier in the evening to look out
for Hale, and when the latter reached for
a revolver Wright jumped behind friend
and used him as a shield to enable him to
escape through an archway. After putting
his friend to this very convenient and cow
ardly use, Wright fled down passageway.
Hale claims that the revolver exploded ac-
cidentally, but, in any event, he could not
have seen Wright when the pistol was dis
charged, as a brick wall interviewed anu
Wright was about ten or fifteen feet away
on the other side. A number of witnesses
were examined and the court continued the
case until this morning at II o'clock.
