of the prominent republicans of the
state. "As politics is somewhat mixed
ia the state at this time, Cass county re

secure recognition on the state ticket,
and are urging Hon. R. B. Windham to
permit his name to go before the next
republican convention as a candidate for
governor. Among those who know Mr.
Windham, their is no question as to his
qaalifcations. and his long residence in
the state haa identified him with all its
interests. Mr. Windham does not be
long to any faction, and his friends
think he would be acceptable to all in

Insurgent Ships Seek to Force

GENERAL ALSAN It KILLED.

der Firs af Shore Batteries.
Panama, Jan. 21. A naval battle
between the government ships and the
revolutionary fleet took place off here
yesterday. General Carlos Alban, the
military commander of this district,
and the governor of Panama, was killed
during the fighting.
Ths revolutionary fleet consists of
the steamers Padllla, Darlen and Gal
tan. They tried to force a landing off
Saoana.
The government ships are the Chil
ean line steamer Lautaro, the Pacific
Steam Navigation company's steamer
Chicuito. and the Panama Canal com
pany's steamer Boyaca.
The revolutionary gunboat Padllla
surprised the Lautaro at the opening
of the fight and began shooting at
close range. Many men on board the
Lautaro were killed. Fire broke out
on the Lautaro and later the crew of
the United States cruiser Philadel
phia went to her assistance and at
tempted to put out the fire. While
they were thus engaged the Lautaro
sank. It is reported here that the
Lautaro'8 crew rebelled and that the
firing of the vesel was an act of trea
son. Some of the men killed on board
the government ship Lautaro have
been brought ashore, where they are
being buried.
The revolutionary gunboat Darlen
went alongside the Philadelphia for
the purpose of a conference. The
firing haa ceased. It is impossible to
locate the revolutionary gunboat Gal
tan. The slow movements of the Pa
dllla, which are noticeable from the
shore, lead to the belief that she has
been damaged. The guns at Las Bo
vedas fired several shots at the rebel
fleet. The government gunboat Boy
aca has just moored to the dock here.
She brings troops from Chliianl. She
reports that the revolutionary steam
ers Padllla, Darlen and Galtaa drew
off when they became aware of her
presence. The Darlen Is now report
ed to be in a sinking condition.

DISCLOSES PLAN OF COLLUSION.
Lard Cranhsvrns Makes a Statement
In Parliament Regarding the Pro
posal of Austria and Other Powers
ts Intervene.
London, Jan. 21. Amid an absolute
silence, that was n striking tribute to
the deep interest felt in the matter.
Lord Craabourae, under secretary for
foreign affairs, In the house of com
mons, yesterday made the first official
atatememt which has ever emanated
from ths British government regard
ing Ita private attitude toward the
United States in the war with Spain.
The subject of the proposed Euro
pean intervention In the Spanish
American war was brought up by Hen
ry Norman, liberal, in the form of a
question asking whether any commu
nication proposing or concerning joint
or collective sctJon by the European
states. In view of the outbreak, or ex
pected outbreak, of the late war be
tween the United States snd Spain
waa received from the Austrian or any
other government, and If so, what was
the mature of the reply 0 jfeer majes
ty's government. Mr. Norman further
Invited Lord Cranbourne to toy the
papers In the case on the table.
Lord Cranbourne, replying, aaid
that before the Spanish-American
war the British government agreed to
joia hi a note to the president of the
United States expressing the hope
that further negotiations would re
sult In a peaceful settlement, but the
government declined to associate
Itself with subsequent proposals
which seemed to be open to the objec
tlom of putting pressure on the gov
ernment of the United States.
This statement was received with
a burst of ringing cheers, such as sel
dom greets the mere answer of n par
liamentary question.
Inquiries made by tie Associated
Press concerning the "subsequent pro
posals" mentioned by Lord Cran
bourne elicited Important Information
from the foreign office. There It was
stated that Great Britain had twice
been formally approached on this mat
ter, but only once after the com
mencement of hostilities between
Spain nnd the United States.
The occasion upon which Great Brit
ain deliberately put her foot down
waa, according to the foreign office,
when the Austrian ambassador at Lon
don Interviewed Lord Salisbury and
asked him If Greet Britain would be
willing to join In a collective note
from the European powers urging the
United States to desist from war with
Spain. Such a note was not to
threaten reprisals or Intervention, but
waa to be in the nature of a strong
protest and a plea for arbitration.
Lord Salisbury, so the representative
of the Associated Press wss informed,
regarded this proposition as unwar
rantable Interference In the affairs of
a friendly country and frankly said
so, declaring that Great Britain would
not be a party to any auch steps, es
pecially In view of thetote President
McKInley's attitude toward the ante
bellum efforts of European powers to
avert war.
The forelga office heard nothing
more on this subject, the matter of a
collective note apparently being
dropped.
Regarding the much disputed point
as to what powers were previously pre
pared to slga this aote, had Great Brit
ain acquiesced thereto, the following
statement from a high official of the
foreign office, through whose hands
all secret dispatches passed, had best
be given In his own language. This
official said:
"We have ao documentary evidence
to prove that any power other than
the oae which formally approacned
aa was concerned in thia effort to aend
a collective note to the United States,
the purport of which, however polite
the wording, must naturally have been
that of a threat. We had at the time,
however, every reason to believe that
this power was merely put forward as
a sort of -buffer In order to sound us
nnd that France, Germany aad Russia
were behind her and oaly awaiting our
asseat formally to anaouace their
owa. We have never had reason to
change that belief, which In tie case
of France, amounta to moral certaia
