 doing so. I request the newspapers
 kindly to refrain from publishing any thing more on the subject and will ap- preciate their actions in complying with my wishes.''

GOOD SHOWING BY KEEL r.
Champion AlI-Around British Athletes
 First Performance Here.


 New York, June 5.-Over 4,OOO persons assembled at Celtic park, Long Island City. to-day to greet Thomas F. KieIy, champion all-around athlete of Great Britain and Ireland, who made his first public appearance in this country at the Kickham's A. c. track and field games, which were held to-day. Kiely was in anything but good form after |his ocean trip, being but two days in this country, but he acquitted himself very we'll. He Is entered for the all- |around championship of the A. A. U., which is to take place during the first week in July at St. Louis, but none of his performances to-day gave any idea of his prowess as an athlete, as he was fully seven pounds below his normal weight and in very poor condition. He was beaten in the high hurdle handicap lat 100 yards, but only by inches, the winner, J. J. Mclaughlin, of the West Side A. C., of this city, being in receipt |of five yards from the Irish champion. In throwing the sixteen-pound hammer Kiely's first effort was 136 feet 5 inches. In the second attempt the wire handla |of the hammer broke and when 1t was |mended it was six inches short of the |regulation length of three feet Not |withstanding this drawback, however, Kiely flung the missile 143 feet inches, which was an excellent performance under the circumstances. In throwing the fifty-six- pound weight from a stand Kiely flung it 32 feet 3% inches, which lis several feet short of his worlds rec ord of 3S feet inch.

SPANISH HALLU0INATIoN.
Thinks United states Has Asked Mo-
 rocco for a Port.

Madrid, June 5.--The newspapers are anxiously discussing the Morocco question, The Epoca thinks that the precipitation in sending a fleet to the Morocco coast gives force to the report. that the United States has asked the Sultan of Morocco for port on the west coast.
 La Corespondencia de Espana gives a rumor that an exchange of notes is taking place among the European chan celleries with view to obtaining an assurance that American action shall be confined strictly to measures for se- curing the liberation of the captives.
 London, June 6.--The Times corre spondent at Tangier, under date of June 5, says:
 eThe sultans authorization to com ply with Raisulis demands cannot be received for day or two. If the sul- tan fully acquiesces in the demands the release of the captives may be expected shortly, but that by no means settles the situation, for, having twice suc- ceeded in defying Europe and the sul- tan, Raisuli's success will tempt the tribesmen to further outrages.
 'The presence of the American fleet affords temporary feeling of security, but the moment the fleet Is withdrawn, unless some permanent form of protec- ton is substituted, the danger will be- come greater than ever. The European population is most grateful to the Americans for having promptly sent warships. Full confidence is felt that the American government will not with draw until some guarantee shall have been given that Europe recognizes the situation and demands energetic ac- tion.''
