REPORT DlSCREDiTED,
Spanish Rumors Are the Usual Variety
of Lies.


Washington, Feb. 26.-The govern
ment officials here discredit the state
ment in the above dispatch that the
foreign Warships are disembarking
troops at Manila. Spanish sources of
information respecting affairs in the
Philippine islands are not to be relied
upon, they say, as the press and people
of Spain do not hesitate to circulate
statements inimical to the interests of
this country. Secretary Alger was shown
the dispatch tonight and without en-
terins into a discussion of it, simply
said he had heard nothing of the sort
Such of the dispatches reaching the
war department to-day from General
Otis that We're made public We're con-
fined to routine matters, while Secre-
tary Long said tonight he had not a
word from Admiral Dewey during the
entire day. General Otis has repeatedly
stated in his dispatches to the authori-
ties here that he has the situation we'll
in hand and there is no reason to be-
lieve he would have trouble in keeping
order al Manila. where the cream of his
troops are stationed. The press dis
patches from Manila also show a gener-
ally satisfactory condition of affairs
prevailing in that city, and that rea-
sonable protection is being afforded to
the lives and property of foreigners.
thus avoiding the necessity of outside
assistance

Senator Ouay'S Trial.

Philadelphia, Feb. 26-There is every
indication to-day that United States
Senator Quay and his son will be placed
upon trial in the criminal court to-mor-
row to answer the charges of conspiracy
and the unlawful use of state money.
Both sides are ready and. it is said,
anxious to have the trial proceed with
out further delay 1t is regarded as eX-
tremely unlikely that the long-existing
deadlock at Harrisburg will be broken
in the meantime, and it is conceded that
the outcome of the trial will directly
influence the question of the senatorial
succession

GRAVE SOLlCITUDE.
The Gar Is Frustrated and in a Critical
Condition.

London, Feb. 27.-The Copenhagen
correspondent of the Daily Mail says:
well Informed persons here assure
me that the health of Emperor Mich
olas is far from good and that his con-
dition excited the gravest solicitude.
A long threatening alment assumed a
critical form soon after the issuance
of the manifesto in behalf of the linn
itation of armaments and the czar is
now prostrated. The malady is of such
a character as to forbid all intellectual
exertion. His participation in the gov
ernment is merely formal, confined to
signing documents, the contents Of
which he is ignorant. The Grand Duke
Michael possesses the executive power
and all government decisions are ar
rived at without the cars co-opera-
ton or knowledge"

Commander F. NJ. Symonds of the Unit
ed States gunboat Marietta, saying:
For humanitys sake and to spare
bloodshed. we guarantee that the revo-
lutionists will disarm if you will guar
antee their lives and property and
maintain order at Bluefields and the

proval we will arrange an armistice.''

TRUSTS WILL FIGHT
For the Franchise of Supplying Power to
Sound Cities.


Seattle, Feb. ga telegram from
Trenton, N. j., says that articles in
cooperating the Washington Power
Transmission company have been filed
there by number of capitalists of New

capital stock of $1.750,000 and it is

There can be no question that the
Bryan banquet greatly exceeded in mum
bers and enthusiasm the Croker banquet
of few nights previous. 1t was more
representative. too, of the rank and file
of the Democratic party. 1t was banquet
of the masses as against the classes. Boss
Croker may dominate Democratic politics
in the city of New York, but in national
politics it looks as If he were no match
for Bryan. What effect the apparent
demonstration right under his eyes
of the superior strength of Bryan
with the crowd will have upon the Boss
remains to be seen. 1t may safely be as
serted, however, that Croker will do moth
ing to imperil his grip upon New York.
He has recently very frankly avowed that
he is in politics simply for the money he
can make out of it, and II it dawns upon
him that fighting Bryan will jeopardize
his hold upon the city out of which his
