about ten days ago, Butler said that the
bag contained fishing corks. Caldwell
who loaded the bag on the wagon with
Butler, says the bag did not contain fish
ing c0rks. as il was heavy. To another
detective Butler said the bag was loaded
with phosphate. This afternoon he ad-
mirted that ne had told conflicting stories,
but said he had done II without thought
According to- another person, Butler
dropped something from the rear of the

spiracy story was divulged. Mr.. PenrOse.
according to advance information would
give out a statement declaring for a
third term for President Roosevelt. thus
showing that he (PenrOse) was not en-
gagged in any conspiracy against the

by Senator jonathan Bourne, of Oregon,
az which William Loeb, JT, secretary to
the President. was d guest
Mr. PenrOse has not seen President
Roosevelt since. As the President is go

Madrid Paper Hears of Entente Be-

Madrid, April A.-The Correspondence
de Espana claims to have diplomatic au-
thority for stating that the effect Of the
meeting of King Alfonso and King Ed
ward, at Cartagena, was the perfection OF
a far-reacbing understanding for the pur-
poses Of war aud peace. 1t would have
been considered in the last century, ac-
cording to the paper, an alliance, but in
modern diplomatic language it is an en-
tente cordiaie
Everything concerning Morocco was
ratified, everything in reference to the
general European situation was discussed.
and the basis was formulated FOR an
agreement which is now in the hands Of
diplomatists The outcome. according TO
the rrespondencia, is the result Of the
competition between Germany and Great
Britain for an understanding with SPAIN
in which Great Britain has scored all
along
The negotiations began in 1895, and the
development OF the defense work at
Cadiz. Ceuta. and Melilla marked stages
in their progress The Correspondence
represents Great Britain as saying in
effect that if Spain would allow her
naval ports 10 be used by her feet she
would help Spain in the conversion Of her
existing debt, British squadrons would
guarantee the security Of the Spanish
/ coasts, the land forces would, Of neces-
sity. be Spanish but British forces would
be at the disposition of Spain should the
latter need them.
