meets with vigorous denial In London
Albert Nlckers, head OF the Nickers-
Maxim firm. said: "Senor Silvela lied.
There Is not a word Of truth In this
allegation that England helped Spain
to fight the United States. In the first
place. the factory at Placentia is a
branch Of our concern built at the re-
quest OF Spain. because that country
wanted ammunition OF home manufac-
tuTe II Is under the Spanish govern
ments control. and there never was a
shell manufactured there for sale In
England or in any country except
Spain, where law against the export
Of ammunition exists"
Senior Silvela Is further quoted as
saying that Spain. not having used the
shells, allowed them 10 be returned
to the British government, and that
he did not consider the latter step a
violation OF neutrality. This transact
ton Mr.. Nickers also denied.

show that no papers exist dealing with
any such transaction. But Lord Sails
