Wellington, March 13.—T-lie United
State* government And* lteelf today
with the promise of three International
complication* on its hands, a r .l of which
have developed with tibe past twenty-
four hours.
No action of a positive character has
yet been taken with reference to the
reported firing on the .American steam
ship Alllanca by a Spanish war vessel.
The Spanish minister, Senor Muruagua,
called upon Acting Secretary of State
Uhl this morning and informally save
assurance of prompt explanation and
reparation If -wrong had been done.
The protest and complaint written hy
Capt. Grossman of the Alllanca to Sec
retary of State Gresham (which wau
published In newspapers this morning)
arrived Jn Washington by mall today
and reached Acting Secretary Uhl at
the state department this afternoon.
After a consultation with Secretary
Gresham, Mr. Uhl, as acting secretary,
sent a telegram to Capt. Grossman in
New York asking for further particu
lars. It is expected that Capt. Gross-
man will send by mall full details. Un
til then, nothing can be done.
The merits of the case are Involved
In the question as to whether the war
ship had the right to stap the Alllanca
in the belief that she was conveying
aid to the Insurgents, and tihe further
question will be. whether granting the
right of the Spanish to order her to
he.j.e to. Capt. Grasvman was Justified
In Imperiling his idrtp by not obeying
him.
The killing of Italians at Walsenbepg,
Col., Is regarded as a most unfortu
nate sequel to the Mafia riots In 1893.
which for a time caused the withdraw
al of the Italian minister from the
United States and a leave of absence
to our minister at Rome, and was only
adjusted by the voluntary payment of
a large amount of damages tby the Uni
ted States.
The 'Marquis Imperall, first secretary
of the Italian embassy, cabled on Acting
Secretary Uhl at the State department
today and presented a dispatch, saying
that four Italians had been killed by a
mob at Waleenburg. -He did not file a
formal complaint, tout merely naked tho
United States to take steps to secure
the safety of other Italians. Mr. Uhl
promised to do so and sent a telegram
to the governor of Colorado, asking
what measures had been taken to In-
Bure compliance with the request of the
Italian government. After the tele
gram was Bent news of the killing of
another Italian at Wakienburg was re
ceived by -Mr. Uhl.
To these onuses of International
troiible the serious wounding of the
British -purser, Balne, at New Or
leans and the still pending Interrup
tion of British commerce at that port
anas a tmrd riimcuiiy or no sitgnt .'u-
mirndons. All of them will demand the
president's attention on his return.
The official telegrams which passed
between the department of Justice and
the United States district attorney at
(Now Orleans are made public. They are
as follow*:
"New Orleans. March 13. 1895.—To
Attorney General, Washington; Tho

sels by our port '* suspended all along

To this the attorney general replied:
"Washington, ‘March 13.—Earhart,

TIIB DEJNVBR STORY.
Denver, Col., March 13.—Glob rule
Ins reigned among she miners lu #die
coal pits of Huerfano county since
Sunday n1«ht awl seven of their vic
tim*—aOl but one IWUawv-h*TO boon
r'diEert with bullet* from tlhe mUb'-s
Wincluwters. Poor of the lultana
were killed from ambush y.-Aerday
while being taken as prisoners In
. wagon to jail a* Welae-nbeeg, after
coroner's counuhsuom for complicity
In the murder of -Abner J. Hlxon,
tenvpecittce siloon keeper at House.
An American boy who seas driving Hhe
wagon was unintentionally killed by
the fusil ado of bifDnta, Before day
light this morning a mob of miners end
dtlseiM of Wata.Ttiepg gathered out
side the JaH where ewo of the Italians
were cotiflnnl, got inside by a pro'amso
and killed -bJ:h the prisoners. It is
reported that the same mob, tbinttlng
for more bloodshed, ) liter took out of
Jail a German charged with rape and
a11W Mm. During the excitement trwo
other prisoners tamped.
The crimes of the dead, so tar as
known, are as follows:
Joseph WeMby, boy driver of pr*-
oners’ migon.
Doreiiso Darn no, killed In jail. He
beat Htxr.n to death.
PeSe Jacobtol, killed In jail.
The names of She four .Italia ns killed
In the road are unknown. Five other
suspwn-s had been released from cus
tody before the mob ro*e. AD of them
lived >(t Rouse, where the Italians far
outnunfiewd the Americans.
Governor 'McIntyre wired the mate
department «k IViihlngton that he
had Instnitved the sheriff of Huerfano
county to give him pm (cuter* and
protect the Italian mlm-tu from furthrr
mob violence. He word (n hb dis
patch that from information, be be
lieved the TktUan miners were Ameri
can orison*, hut he was mat certain.
II» farther stated that the m.Ut irf
noire* to the scene could be forward
ed at abort notice.
Tonight be nw val « mantra# report
from Sheriff 01M.iU.-y, who said two
were killed on the road, the other* es
caping. He ha* In*rumed the sheriff
to call for aaAaUncs U nnx.ntry m
doing Ihi duty. Aropirt freon Wallen-
berg -tonight atttte* that three of tho
Italians tubo were living brought h.-re
from Rouse escaped. their names being
given as Antonio Ocrbetlto, Stanlslovltto
and Franeiesco Kosetl. It Is ateo stated
that tthere were eleven Italians In the
wagon.
Today's attack upon the Jail was the
result of the extreme excitement pro
voked by the extreme vengeance of Hix-
on'e frinds. Three other Italians In cue-
tody as passible accessories to the mur
der of Hlxon were overlooked by the
mob. The massacre of the five men from
ambush was evidently well planned with
the exception of the killing of the driver.
Four ot those killed had been held for
triot by the coroner's Jury. It Is said
that Welsby'a death was accidental. In
order to ho certain that the fifth Italian
held for- Hlxon's murder should not es
cape. the mob today did not stop to Iden
tify tho two prisoners found In the Jail,
but riddled both with rifle balls.
Tho motive for the murder of Hlxon
Is tt e subject of much speculation. The
deceased was 36 years old, a native of
Arkansas, and was not ot on aggressive
or quarrelsome disposition. It Is thought
he was attacked last Sunday while on
the road from Walsenburg to Rouse, a
coal camp slx^mlles distant, and knocked
from Ids horse' hy a blow on the head.
Workmen going to the Rouse mine dis
covered Hlxon with his skull fractured,
The Injured man was unconscious and
died two hours later. There was abso
lutely no clue to the perpetrators ot the
crime, but T. J. Brewer, pit boss at the
coal mine, solved (his difficulty. Hasten
ing to his home he secured a trained
bloodhound and put him on the scent.
The <»og struck a trail that led the pur
suers to the rear of a saloon half a mile
away. The Intelligent brute rushed to an
old table standing In the rear room. An
examination of the table revealed fresh
tolood stains. Lorenzo Danlno and Jobat-
to Antonio, who were found In the room,
wvre Immediately arrested. The dog con.
tinned to a neighboring cabin, where Pete
Posetta and Frank Aurlce were found.
The quartet of Italians made many dam
aging admissions of tho knowledge of the
murder and upon close questioning the
names of five others were divulged. Da
nlno was charged with being the chief
cuuspinaior.
Horsemen scoured the surrounding
country and by 4 o'clock In the afternoon
all the suspected Italians were under ar
rest and lodged In Jail, where they re
mained until called to attend the Inquest.
After Che attack on the wagon party
11 was comparatively quiet until after
midnight. About that time seven or eight
men wearing masks knocked it the door
of the Joll where Lorenzo Danlno, who
was charged by the other It .Hans with
having struck the blow that killed Hlx
on on Sunday, and the Italian wounded
In the wagon attack wore confined.
In answer to a question, the men said
O'Malley, the sheriff, wanted to enter.
As soon as the door was opened the
guards found guns In their faces. Part
of the masked men then went to the cell
where the two Italians were cul'flued and
fired eight or ten shots. Bach prisoner
received four or five bullets. One died
Instantly, but the other lived a short
time In great agony.

Memphis, -Ml-roh 13.—Charles, better
known as “Kid" McCoy, was tonight
awarded the decision of the ten-ewund
glove contest with "Shadow" Maber of
Cincinnati, before the Pastime Athletic
Club. The arena at the club was crowd
ed to Its utmost capacity. Bdb Lee. the
official referee cf the cluto, officiated
and George Battlere, the club time
keeper, was accepted by both men.
McCoy weighed upon entering the
ring 116 and Maber 143 pounds. The
sympathy of “the spectators was with
MoCoy, tout the betting waa rather the
other way, odds of five to four liv-lng
given on the Australian. In the first
round Maber started In to lead the
fighting, .McCoy on the defensive. Be
fore many exchanges had toeen made,
McCoy had- shown that he was the bet
ter man. but at no time until the last
two rounds did he undertake to force
-the fighting. Before the first round
ended, McCoy had landed a half dozen
times on Maher's face, chest athl wind,
but Mother had not once reached his
opponent and It waa evident that, barr
ing the unforseen, -McCoy had tho fight
won. In the second round Maber did
not evince any lack of confidence, but
went In as at first to rush matters.
Ho soon found, though, that he had no
chance. In the second round Maher
fouled a couple of times and the ref
eree warned him that another repetllloif
would lose him the fight.
Afterward Referee Lee expressed the
opinion that Maber tried purposely to
foul In order to have the fight decided
against himself. In the last three rounds
Maber was unsteady and frequently on
the floor. In the eighth round McCoy
got the tlrst blood on a left ' Wing on the
nose. The decision waa approved by the
spectators.

trading that the upward movement haa

advanced 4 to 5 points under the lnflu^nco

lamsON'S GRAIN ieBSTER,
Special wire to Lyons & James.
Chicago, March U.—The excitement In
wheat over the government report has
about exhausted Itself. The opening woe
active at a slight advanc*. Th. offering,
were liberal, however, everybody being
apparently anxious to sell with the big
professionals In the lead and what ap
pears to be representative, of elevator
Interest.. There wss an Inadequate de
mand and prices gradually declined,
cold wave la predicted for Kansas, Ne
braska, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan
for the next three day*, but hnd very
tittle effect on the market other than
checking the decline temporarily. The
early cables Were a disappointment, while
the total clearances of 166.509 bushels of
wheat and our were not of the kind to
Inspire bullish feeling. New York la low
er and has acted very much after the
manner of our market. They sent many
private cables. It would look us though
there was something In this. ... closing
cables quote wheat 1314 to 35 cents higher,
with a fractional advance in Liverpool
markets.
Horn—A good deal of liquidation took
place In corn. The opening was firm,
without any material change In prices.
Traders seemed to take a bear view of
the situation, augmented by the decline
In wheat, and the price a* a consequence
has suffered a decline of 1 cent per bush
el. Receipt* were moderate, but HO cars
are promised for tomorrow.
Provision, continue to rule strong. The
opening was easy and inactive at about
yesterday’s dose. Offerings were light,
however; everybody wanted hog preduct
anl prices n»ganccd. Receipts were fully
up to the estimate, 43,000, with 39,000 look
ed for tomorrow.

STEVENS' COTTON LETTER.
By Special Wire to Lyon ft James.
New York. March Ik—It was a rather
feverish market and It won a big ope,
too. Liverpool news was disappointing
and In brief this fact and realizing for
local and Southern account caused a Anal
decline here ot 4 to 6 points, though at
one rime there was a rise, due to cover
ing of shorts and aome out.tie buying.
The New Orleans estimate for tomorrow
was bullish nnd a number of the South
ern spot markets were higher. Sale*. 214.-
30*. In two days the eales have reached
450,000 hales. Th# failure of the Liverpool
market to respond to yesterday’s Mr ad'
ranee here was due, tt Is stated, to a
fear that the recent advance will frus
trate th* efforts tp secure a reduction In
the acreage. Besides, the receipts at the
porta and the Interior towns continue
large. At the same time Liverpool Is ac
tive, the South Is stronger, speculation
here Is on a large scale ami of late there
has been eurto a nreesewe to cover shorts

MACON BOND AND STOCK REPOST,
CHICAGO GRAIN.
Chicago, March 13.—The bull csmpe .fri'
came to an Inglorious end today, at the
dose the victory bearing the marks of
something very akin to defeat. It Is true
prtcre have not yet reached the previous
tow level, but they are so dose to It that
there Is nothing for holders to exult over.
At the start there was a lingering mark
of yesterday's enthusiasm, but the day
was yet young when even that disappear
ed. The crop damage reports were show
ered In from all direction*, but they bad
ia>: ever, a particle of effect. A weather
bulletin predicting a cold wave over the
winter wheat area during the rext MW
days and higher Paris cable. Ot.l help
th. market aome, but tbs alight benefit
derived therefrom only furnished more
advantage to shorts and thorn mho felt
disposed to Uqukhue. May wheat opened
from 57 to 6634, declined W6* and closed
at 56—H of a cent under yesterday. Cosh
wheat during the chancing hand, of sam
ple lots was easy and 14 a cent lower.
The longs In corn liquidated today and
then deserted the market, leaving th* pit
to the devices of the scalpers, who there.
*fUi UMde tho hoot cf the situation, tak
ing wheat ss their baste. From a steady
opening there was an uninterrupted and
gradual decline In price*, with th* busi
ness presenting little in the way ot ac
tivity or attractiveness. May corn open
ed from 4644 to 4614. decline! to 4514, clos
ing at 4644a74—14*14 of a cent below th*
final dose of yesterday. Cash corn was
about steady, sugar refiners taking tbs
offerings of car lots at full price*.
Oats.—About the same dead feeling war
In oats as presented for a long tilde. The
trade In gray are looking for some chang
ing operations to take p4ace. the oatmeel
trust awning n big line in May which win
likely be transferred Into July at no dis
tant 4ay. May closed 14 a cent under
•yesterday, the decltm coming through the
weakness of wheat and corn. Onah oats
mid ut steady prices, the nominal doss
being steady.
Provision*.—No creator agitation oc
curred In products at tire opening or from
41m* to time later, but when the session
had welt progressed there was buying of
a local character, but of light enter, cans.
Ing an advance all along the line. It was
