Blowing Up the AIaine.
Havana, March 22.--Captain T. z.
Huston, of the voluntSA engineers,
was questioned today by press CORE
spondent on the subject of the story
printed by local newspaper at Gincin-
natl, saying that the location of the
keyboard by which the United States
battle-ship Maine was blown up in
Havana harbor on February 10. 1898,
had been found by him in gunroom
of the Foerza prison, while engaged in
cleaning out the Notifications. The
captain said the use of his name in
this connection was not authorized. He
showed the correspondent cable with
several wires running into the harbor
from Foerza prison, opposite Cabanas
fortress. One wire was connected with
disused telegraph instrument in a
neighboring government building.
Though the cable has not been inyesti-,
gated by the United States engineeIs.
the supposition, is that it runs to Ca.
banas, across the harboA and has been
used for telegfaphing. There is a re-
mote chance that the wires in the cable
were connected with mines or torpedos,
but there is no indication that il had
to do with the blowing up of
the Name. The end of the cable
sticking out of Foerza prison has been
seen by tourists for weeks past, Many
soldiers have also seen the cable, and
many have expressed the belief that it
was used to blow up the Maine.

Laredo, Tex, March 21.-The work
of removing smallpox patients to the
pesthouse. under direction of State
Health Officer Blunt, was begun this
morning. After 10 had been removed.
the officers encountered on East Mata-
moras street mob of Mexicans, who
menaced them in such a manner that
the chief of police was telephoned for.
Marshall Joe Barthelow and Assistant
Marshal Nye Idar hurried to the
scene, and when they attempted to ar.
rest the leaders of the disturbance,
they were assaulted with stones and
fred upon. Nye Idar was knocked
down and severely beaten about the
head before he could be rescued. One
of the rioters was shot, but aided by
his friends, managed to escape. About
90 shots were fred, dozen arrests
made, and the mob dispersed.
The health officers resumed their
work. but were soon met by another
mob of 500 or 600 Mexicans, many OF
them armed. AS they could. not con-
tend with this force. the health officers
desisted, and DIR. Blunt opened tele-
graphic communication with Governor
Sayers- As result, he was instructed
to call on the United States military
authorities at Mcintosh. in the name
of the governor. for such assistance as
was needed. and later he was informed
that the war department had tele.

PAPER MONEY SCARCE.

Due to Greater Volume of Business, Not
to Decrease In the supply.
Washington, March 22.-Controller
of the Currency Dawes, In answer to
inquiries today in regard to the ap-
parent scarcity of paper money. said.
'The chief reason for the growing
demand for paper money is unquestion-
ably the increase IN the general volume
of business. There has been no re-
duction in the amount Of paper money
which of itself would cause scarcity.
The situation in reference to bills is
brought about by the increased demand
and not by decrease In the supply.
''The amount of paper money In cir-
culation March /. 1899, is much great
er than it was one year ago. While
the decrease in circulation in the
amount of gold certificates is $s.
$50, in treasury notes, "a, 269. .971, and

A FATHERS TERRlsLE CRIME
Killed His Five Children and Attsmpt
ed to Cremate the Remains.

Killed His Five Children and Attsmpt-
ed TO Cremate the Remains.
Hutchinson. Kan, March 22.-An
atrocious crime was revealed here to-
day when the coroner and his assist
ants removed the dead bodies Of five
little children from the house occupied
by John Moore, which burned at an
early hour. A coroner's jury investi-
gated the case, and, in accordance with
the jury's recommendation, Moore, the
father of the dead children, was arrest
ed on a charge of murder.
When the firemen and neighbors
reached the burning house. the father
was the only member Of the family of
seven found outside. His actions were
queer, and he would not talk. While
the building was still burning and his
children within the burning walls, he
took a horse from his stable and rode
away. When the firemen entered the
house, after having partly quenched
the flames, they found the five chill
dren, lying side by side, in a bed on
the floor, all dead, but not badly
burned.
The coroner's autopsy held this af-
ternoon developed convincing evidence
of an awful crime. The skull of each
child was deeply indented, and flom
the dents long fractures extended. All
but one of the children had been
stabbed in the neck. The throat of the
little S-year-old, boy. had been
slashed SO deep that the spinal column
had been severed. 1t was upon these
facts and the strange behavior of the
father, that the authorities base their
charge of murder.
When Moore was called before the
coroner's jury to testify. he pretended
to believe that an exploding lamp had
caused the fire, and that his children
had met death in the flames. He testi-
fed that he was awakened from deep
sleep by the smoke. and he found the
house afire all over. 1t was 10 min
utes, he said, before he recovered his
senses, and then he did not try to save
the children. because he knew that
they must be dead, an the fire had
started in the room in which they were
sleeping. His riding away from the
fire he explained by stating that his
wife was away from home attending a
sick friend, and that he went to tell
her of their loss. Moore showed little
concern when the jury returned the
verdict charging him with murder.

TEMPORARY BORDER line
One May Be Located in
Alaska Soon.
70 AVOID POSSIBLE TROUBLE
faere Ia Growing Danger of q Serious
Clash Between Americans and Cana
dinns Near the Border.

Washington, March 22.-The Brit
ish ambassador, Sir Julian Pauncefote,
conferred today with Secretary Hay in
reference, it il understood, to modus
vivendi to be observed along the Alaska
border in order to obviate the possi-
bility Of clash, pending the final de-
Limitation of the border.
Theneed of this has been emphasized
within the last few days by reports of
a battle between the Canadian and the
American prospectors on the Procupine
river. These reports have caused con-
siderable uneasiness in official circles
in London, and efforts have been made
to learn the facts. There has been no
official information, however, either
here or in London. Just such clash
has been expected, and the reports have
served to direct the attention of officials
of the need of effecting a border ar
rangement. The preliminary move in
this direction was made as soon as the
Anglo-American commission adjourned
without settling the border question.
Sir Julian then suggested that tenn
porary arrangement be made. This
would maintain the status quo, each
side making no further advance pend-
ing final agreement on the boundary.
A temporary line probably will be
run by the two governments. This
would not affect permanent interests,
but would serve as legal barrier be-
tween the lawless fortune-seekers in
that locality. The plan is favorably
received on both sides, and is likely 10
be carried into effect, although no
agreement has been entered into thus
far.
Some important statements concern
ing the boundary line situation are
given in official correspondence now on
file in the state and interior depart
ments. which has never been made
public.
Governor Brady, of Alaska, as long
ago as the latter part Of February called
attention to the extremely threatening
condition OF affairs. February 81,
Governor Brady, who was here, had
conference with both Secretary Rliss.
who We then just leaving the cabinet.
and Secretary Hay, in which he urged
that the aggressive acts of the Cana
dians should be promptly met.

Peaca in Porto Rico.

San Juan de Porto Rico. March 81.
The reports contained in newspapers
just received here, alleging that dam
ger exists of an uprising of the natives,
are regarded with astonishment, and
are absolutely without foundation in
fact. The only disturbances that have
occurred here have been local fights
between the American volunteers and
the lower classes. The press corre-
spondent, who has just returned from
an extended trip through the island.
found only occasional evidences of dis
satisfaction resulting from brawls, and
local politics. and the American officers
now here ridicule the idea of an up
rising of the natives, who. they say,
are without weapons, and are entirely
lacking in organization.

AWFUL HOTEL FIRE.


windsor. New York.
New York, March 20. - Flames
which originated from the igniting Of
lace curtain, burst forth from the sec
ond floor of the Windsor hotel, at Forty
seventh street and Fifth avenue, short
ly after 8 O'Clock this afternoon, Just
as the st. Patrick's day parade was pas
sing the building, and in few mo.
ments they had leaped to the roof and
enveloped the entire Fifth-avenue and
Forty-seventh street fronts Of the hotel,
Ten minutes later the flames were roar
ing through the interior of the hotel,
and all escape by means OF the stair
ways and elevators was cut of.
There was the widest scene OF excite
ment within and without the building.
Hundreds of guests and employees were
in the hotel when the FIRE broke ont,
and for many of them to escape with
safety was impossible. Probably Is
lives were lost within q half hour, and
Is or 90 persons were injured in jump
ing from windows and in rushing
through the roaring flames in the Cor
ridors and stairways. Many who were
injured died later in nearby residences
and at hospitals, and others who made
wild leaps to the stone sidewalk were
70 badly injured that they are still
lowering between life and death. It
may be "a hours or more before the
complete list of fatalities becomes
known, and it will be longer than that
before it can be ascertained definitely
how many charred bodies are in the
mass Of fallen masonry that mark the
spot where the hotel stood.
Thus far IA are known to be dead,
AZ injured. and Al missing.
