TAMPA, Fla., March 20.—The steamer Mas- 2otte arrived here last evening direct from Havana and brought later reports from the seat of the revolution.

WASHINGTON, March 20.—Senator Frye was asked today what he thought of the prospect of an amicable settlement of the Alllanca difficulty with Spain and replied: “Unfortunately the later reports make it ap- pear to be very good. It looks as Iif Spain would make the required apology and if so all will soon be settled. 1 had hoped it would be otherwise and that Spain would assume such a belligerent tone that 1t would be neces- sary for the United States to go over and take possession of Cuba. We certainly ought to have that island in order to round up our possessions as they should be, and if we can- not buy it T for one should like to have an opportunity to acquire it by conquest.” Inasmuch as Mr. Frye is a member of the senate committee on forelgn relations, his ut- terances possess considerable significance, in- dicating as they do the early revival of efforts to_acquire Cuba.

The application for a legal separation was filed in the superior court in San Francisco last week. Miss Burroughs was then play- ing in that city as leading lady in “The Profigate” and “Judah.”” The complaint bore the title of “Lillie Lee Massen against Louls Frederick Masson” and attracted no attention at the time. It simply charged neglect and infidelity. Massen has made no reply and this has given rise to the rumor that they have agreed on a mutual separa- tlon. The statement that she and Massen are on tlie best of terms was apparently true so far as external evidences went, for they were not only on friendly terms about the theater but he frequented her dressing room and they occupy -apartments together at the Hotel Vendome.

NEW YORK, March 20.—The Yachtsman, a TLondon paper of the date of March 7, con- talns an account of the capsizing of a yacht in the Swan river, Perth, West Australia, on March 4, when several lives were lost. Among those reported to have been drowned was Edward Fox, a former New Yorker, known to his friends as “Modoc” Fox. Mr. Fox earned the sobriquet of “‘Modoc” when acting as correspondent of the New York Herald in the Modoc war. After leaving newspaper work he became a promoter of varlous enterprises and several years ago he went to England, making London his head- quarters. Mr. Fox became prominent a few years ago as a party to the Drayton-Borrowe duel negotiations. He was one of Hallet Allsopp Borrowe's seconds, and with Harry Vane Millbank, accompanied Borrowe to Parls, where the question of a duel was submitted to the Duc de Morny. The duke decided that Mr, Coleman Drayton had placed himself be- yond the pale by accepting monetary con- siderations after an alleged knowledge of the cause which led up to his challenge of Borrowe, and was therefore not a gentleman deserving of recognition under the code. Subsequently it was reported that Borrowe and Fox fought a duel in Belgium because Borrowe accused his former second of selling information concerning the Borrowe-Draylon affair to the newspapers, Fox was said to have recelved a slight wound in that en- counter, but the facts were never publicly known ‘and the majority of people on this side of the water doubled that a duel was ever fought. Mr. Fox had been ongaged in mining enterprises of late years and was in Australla as the representative of an English company. Borrowe s now connected with the trolley railroad lines in Newark, N. J.

The late millionaire and the Warfields were friends. Mry. Paxton has left the city for Los Angeles and the rumor cannot be verified.

The cargo of the ship Elizabeth, consisting of 2,000 kilos of dyna- mite, was being loaded when the explosion occurred, killing a number of people and do- ing a terrible amount of damage. The exact number of people Killed is not yet known. Another vessel which was alongside the Bliza- beth caught fire and was burned. The force of the explosion was felt for miles and was at first believed to have been the result of an earthquake. Several houses collapsed at Keoken and other villages, and windows were shattered within a wide area. At Cleaves, five miles from the scene of the ex- plosion, doors were blown off and window frames were smashed. The bodies of five victims of the explosion have already been recovered and six persons believed to have been killed are missing. The force of the explosion was so great that three vessels at Lobith, the last Duteh village on the Rhine, were sunk. Two hundred and twenty tons of the explosive were taken in six boats from Lobith to Salmouth last January enroute to Antwerp, whence it was to have been shipped to Australia. Owing to the ice blockade in the river the dynamito was landed at Sal- mouth, where it was stored awaiting the re- opening of navigation. In the meantime the Elizabeth had been chartered to take the d: namite forward and the cargo was being stored yesterday when part of it exploded. The cause of tha explosion is unknown. p the Picture.

BOSTON, March 20.—John Bohen, a printer of this city, Is soon to marry Miss Theresa Gertrude Butler, only daughter of Captain Howard G. Butler, the Philadelphia million- aire, The engagement has been kept a secret, it is said, at the desire of the young woman's parents, who do not favor the match. After an extended tour in Europe in pursuit of her studles, during which she received the attentions of many titled butterflies, Miss Butler returned home. She is a beautiful girl, the idol of her mother's heart and the pride of her rich father, with three-quarters of a million in her own right. Last August Miss Butler, with her parents, went to Newport, where they were the guests of Mrs. Bigelow. At about the same time Mr. Bohen, with a party from Boston, went to Newport to attend a dance given in the Newport Bazaar. There he first met Miss Butler, They met often and the story goes that the girl's parents ordered Bohen to cease his attentions. The order was not obeyed and secret meetings followed. In this way a month was passed and then, Mr. Bolien returning to Boston, they began to communicate by letter, becoming engaged about_the middle of last January. Mr. and Mrs. Butler protested, but their daughter in- sisted that she loved young Bohen and that his poverty should not be a bar to their unfon, Then the parents gave their consent and on Washington's birthday the couple met in New York and arranged for their marriage. The wedding will take place in the residence of the bride in Philadelphia, but there will be no display. It is planned that their honey- moon will be spent in a New England town and then the couple will go to Europe for a year. Miss Butler s 24 years old and Bohen is a year her senior. The latter has been a compositor on several Hoston dailies. Cap- taln Butler is said to be worth $2,000,000 and 15 well known on Wall street — 4 SENATOR GEORGE BOUND TO RESIGN, Declines to Reconsider the Announcement He Had Made.

New Orleans Grand Jury Beings in a Long List of Presentments, NEW ORLEANS, March 20.—The grand jury came into the criminal district court this afternoon, and after the wsual formali- ties the foreman presented fifteen Indict- ments, charging twenty-eight men with mur- der committed on last Tuesday morning in the levee troubles. True bills, charging murder, were presented against the follow- ing parties: George, alias “Whisky" Doyle, Henry Haddy, John Murphy, W. Maher, J D. Willlams, Thomas Ryan, John Pender- gast, Willilam Nelson, Dave Wildams, James, alias “Red” Hawkins, Thomas, alias “Stut- tering” Fay, Jim Ferriers, Robert Kehoe, Nelson, allas “Meyer” Lightly, Joe Casey, James O'Brien, Martin Owens, 1d McCue, for the murder of John Payne. Tony Dowd, Phil Quarto and Tom Pender- gast were indicted for the murder of Henry James; same for the murder of Morris Mitchell; same for the murder of Fred | Lopez; same for the murder of Leonard Mal lard. Robert Brooks, Phil Mahoney and Nelson Lightly for the murder of Leonard Mallard; same for the murder of Fred Loziez; same for the murder of Morrls Mitchell; same for the murder of Henry James. William _Callicie, Dave Burke and John, alias “‘Red” Cutlen, for the murder of John Payne. John Furness, allas “Dago,” Tom Devlin, alias “Tom, the Devil,” and Jack Bowen for the murder of John Payne. These men were all arrested times during the troubles and committed for trial by the police justice. All the in- dictments contain the clause “and other per- sons whose names are as yet unknown to the grand jurors, being workmen and labor- ers in the occupation of rolling, placing and stowing compressed cotton on board of ves- sels at the port of New Orleans.” Most of the men indfcted have been under surveillance for several days, and it was an easy matter to locate them as soon as the caplases were issued. The difficulties which beset the governor in handling the troubles have been further complicated by a strong intimation from the merchants that no further funds will be contributed by them for the support of the troops. They say that more decided measures should have been adopted in dealing with the rioters, and that the trouble should have been finally quieted some days agp. The governor is in consul- tation with his advisers, striving to find means to provide for the support of the troops, the state militia fund being alto- gether inadequate for the purpose. —————— BLOW DOw Many Persons Were Injurdd, at Augusta, Georgla, This Morniag.

Yards at Foot of Capitol Avenue, The mangled body of a man was discoy- ered last night at 11:45 in the B. & M. rail- xoad yards at Eighth street and Capitol ave- nue. The body was cut in two at the walst, and had evidently been lying there for some time, as the body was cold when found. Carl Lund, the night clerk for the Bur- lington, as he was making his accustomed trip to the upper yards to check ub the cars, found the body. He reported the fact to Officer Meals, and the coroner was notified. The ground and tracks in the vieinity where the body was found were carefully examined, and from indications the man had evidently gone down Capitol avenue to the platform at the north side of the Deering building and fallen to the tracks from the east end of the platform, which is about twenty feet from the ground. A large pool of blood was found about twelve feet from where the body was lying when found. The skull was crushed as though from a fall or a very heavy blow. Yard engine No. 22 backed up over this point at 11 o'clock for a short distance and pushed two cars. The body had been struck by these and dragged for a short distance to a switch, where it caught and remained, while the cars and engine made two trips over it. The engine was manned by . A nold, engineer; G. Hungate, fireman; J. ( Dauthet, F. A. Pjerou and J. H. Hunt, brak men. Not one of the crew had noticed the accident. At the morgue a Key ring was taken from one of the pockets on which was engraved “I. B. Harris, 1216 Leavenworth street.” It was soon learned that the body was that of Isanc B. Harris, a stationary engineer in the service of the Omaba Steam Laundry com- pany, 1718 Leavenworth street. He was about 40 years old, and leaves a wife and one child, The family residence is 824 South Seventeenth street, e GLASS STRIKERS LIKE THE CHANGE.

Ripley, for- merly president of the company, has been elected to the position. The United States Glass company has a complete monopoly on the flint glass trade by a combination of nearly all the factories in the country. For the past eightecn months the Flint Glass Workers unlon has been on a strike against the company for a recognition of the union scale. The strikers believe that the new administration will adopt a more liberal pol- icy with the workmen and the strike will be terminated soon. Poor health is the reason assigned for Mr. Baggaley's resignation, Fight Botween Unlon and Nonunion Men DOWAGIAC, Mich., March 20.—This city, which is the location of the immense plant of the Round Oak Stove works, was the scene of a serious strifa between unfon and non- union men, Lester Cooper, a nonunion man, was struck with an axe and probably fatally injured in the melee, which became general, and a score of workmen were serlously in- jured.

One Outatanding Company Comen to Term« and all Is Harmony. NEW YORK, March 20.—President Curtis of the American Distributing company made a report today to the directors of the Dis- tilling & Cattlefeeding company touching the financial questions at fssue between the two companies, which was accepted and a settle. ment has been made which both sides, CHICAGO, March 20.—Negotiations are now completed which effect a combination of all the whisky interests in the country and practically assures to the Spirits Distilling association, of which Receiver McNulta of the trust Is chairman, absolute control of the spirit output of the United ates. There was, the receivers of the trust claim, but one ‘large outstanding Intercst, and that an eastern concern, with which a satisfactory settlement was reached. The executive com- mittee of the Spirits Distilling assoclation was in session today, and in communication Wwith representatives of the eastern concern, who were meeting in New York. At the conclusion of the meeting here General Me- Nulta, as chairman, announced that a sat- Isfactory settlement of differences had been completed, and that only the official notifi- cation of ‘the opposing interests was neces- £ary to settle the affair. This, the receivers claim, will effectively silen: the opposition to the Distilling association from Cincinnati and places where the whisky interests are on a firm and paying basis. In an interview given to the Assoclated press, General Me- Nulta said: “The Spirits Distilling associ- ation Is no trust. We simply act as a con- ference of the distilling interests to prevent the enormous losses which have heretofore attended the manufacture of spirits. On the basis now reached the producer will recelve a fixed profit of one-half of 1 cent per proof gallon, and the price of whisky will follow that of grain. All this clamor against the ‘trust’ s inspired by stock gamblers who hope to make money by beating the stock up and down. With that element eliminated the success of the receivership is assured and I think I may say it is already assured. The" successful completion of the efforts to effect o settlement of the differences with the out~ standing eastern interest will assure an amis cable adjustment of all the difficultics which have confronted the distilling association.” NEW YORK, March 20.—Articies of In- corporation were fi'ed at the county clerk’s office today by the Distilling and Distributing company, with a capital of $1,000,000. In connection with the handling of spirits it pro- to do buying, selling and delivering of illeries. CHICAGO, March 20.—The United States circuit court of appeals handed down several decisions today. The most important case was that of the appeal of the Whisky trust from a decision of Judge Grosscup, giving Gottschalk & Co., agents of the trus, a judg. ment for $37,112. The company sued in the lower court to recover that amount of re which it is claimed the trust refused on the ground that the agents had other spirits than those manufac- tured by the trust. The case, which was known as the rebate certificate case, at- tracted much attention in the lower court. The decision of the lower court was afirmed, is agreeable to handled QUESTIONS MENT FIGURE Orange Judd Farmor Pats the Wheat in Farmers' Hands Much Righer. CHICAGO, March 20.—The Orange Judd Farmer this week, In discussing wheat re- serves and comparing its estimate of 154,000,- 000 bushels with the government estimate of 75,000,000 bushels, will declare that the gov- ernment estimate, without authority of lnw or statistical experience, arbitrarily teduced the returns of its correspondents by from 50,000,000 to 60,000,000 bushels, In proof of this, it declares that its returns and the gov- ernment returns come from the same class of people, subject to the same influences, and their figures of percentages of wheat on the farm is but little more than half that re- turned to the Farmer. The statistician of the Orange Judd Farmer was formerly assistant statisticlan of the Agricultural department, and is consequently familiar with the worl ings of that office. If this charge s true the government_correspondents, the Farmer will say, must have reported 125,000,000 to 1 000,000 bushels in farmers’ hands March 1, i stead of 75,000,000 bushels, as declared by the bureau.
