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 loading and unloading of foreign ves sels by our port '* suspended all along the river front owing loathe mob vio lence against labor employ.d on same. Some laborers have been killed and many wounded, and tbe purser of the British steamship Engineer riously wounded. Interstate and Inter national commerce Is virtually para lysed.

To this the attorney general replied: "Washington, ‘March 13.—Earhart, (United States Attorney, New Orleans: (Do not understand why the state au- thoritlea are not called upon to preserve the peace and to roprew lawless vio lence.

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. do this city must and shall )>» protected.

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.

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. Lameon Brothers & Co. 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 In May that month today sold t points | Opened. 3 7-U4a3 7-04 3 7-C4 3 7>Gio3 8-01 8-61 3 8-04 310-Mat 0-64 3 9-04 . 8 11-64 J10-G4«311-04 3 12-64 3 11-6403 12-64 3 14-04 S 16-64 J 17-64 3 14-64.3 15-61 3 16-04.3 15-61 3 17-04 Cotton seed oll-Qulot, nay; cmd. 1 yellow, prime, 26.
