WAShINGTON , March -Senor Muru-
aga , the Spanish minister , had not been Informed -
formed up to 1 o'clock today either by lila
government or by the State department oC
the United Stales' demand upon Spain
through our minister at Jatrlt lie . was
purlulng his Investigations of the Alianc
nfalr al11 ( had received telegraphic and mal
reports Cram the governor oC Cuba , all of
which stated that there was no Information
ot the Spanish gunboat , although the officials
along the eastern coat oC Cuba , where the
supposed outrage occurred , had been on the
Ioolut.
"For my part , " said the minister , "this
looks very much like a sea frpent affair .
Every now and then a captain states that he
has coca the sea serpent and came near blng
swallowed by It , Captain Crossman Is no
doubt a worthy omcer . but It looks very much
as though he had had a dream as to cooing
a Spanish gunboat There are no nfdavls
, . _ ns yet , and the proper eourse would be to
- exact afdavis from the crew and pasenors
of the Alianca and find out oC they agreed
with the statement at Captain Crossman "
The let , , : Cram the captain generl 1 of
Cuba received by Minister 1uruJga says that
everything Is quiet In five provinces and
that the only danger comes from the poss- :
bliy of shipping arms , nmmunllon and men
from the United States. The people oC
Cuba , reports " the captain general , are en-
i trely opposed ! o al detuibances : . this being
' . the case even with the leader of the farmer
! f' revolution .
I' Senor Iurunga was asked how tlls report
. ' ' from the captain general could he reconcied
f. with the statement ot Colonel 1 lerrlrdo at
Tampa , who has just arrived Cram Cuba , nail
who. as published In Associated press dispatches -
patches , said that the revolutionists had held ,
a constitutional convention . chosen a eom- :
maIHler-ln-ehlef and envoys to foreign gover-
meats , and were about to choose a president
for the new republic and Issue a declaration
oC indeiendence. '
"It Is probable such things could have
occurred , " said lhe minIster , "and all mention
oC thcni be withheld hy thc captaIn general
In writing to me 1 Is part of the Insurgent
plan of spreading false reports. " ,
The minister also denlell the report of the '
killing of 500 Spanish soldiers at the battle
oC Veglnta , saying that such n cAlamity I'
would have been quickly repotted to him.
Senor Muruaga was naked I any bteps
would bo taken concerning Colonel lerrnrdo
' or others at Tampa lie said the proper
course would bQ for the Spanish consul lt
Tampa to report the Clcts to the Spanish
legation here , whereupon proceedings could
be taken before a magistrate for the arrest
of Colonel Flerrrdo for a breach of the
neutral laws
SIAXISH MINISTER AJIAZlm ,
As saon as the complete ' text oC Secretary
Gresl am's demnn.1 on Spain vat , ' received
hero It was taken b ) a re'presentatve oC the
Associated press to Senor Muruaga , the
Spanish mlnlstcr.
"I am nstonlshe.l , " saul he , "that this
course has ben taken when as yet only one
Ildo of the story has been toll and any action
must bo based on the ex 11arte statement of
Captain Croesman " The minister scanned
the text oC the demand forwarded to Spain ,
( onlmentng on the severity of the language
that "this government will cpect prompt
dlslown ! " and expression of regret on th
part 01 Spain with "imnitliato aUI positive
orders" 10 SI1anish naval conimnailders .
Senor Inruaga has rlceh'll no copy of
the statement from the State llpartment )
or any intimation that this step hall ar woulll

erment been i eceiveJ. I had gone di-

"That remains to be seen after Spain's
sile of the story I learned , " sall he , "Cer-
tainly there wi be no reply until all the
facts are known , not alone Cram Captain
Crossman , but Crom the commander oC the
pauistm gunboat alleged ta have done the
firing. " 10ne
The minister was In doubt as to how Man
the e facts could be learned , In vIew oC the
Inabll ) thus Car to cOlmunlcato with the
I3panlsh war ship. When these facts arc
. known , snll time minister , Spain \1 bo

The State department officials today admit
time correctnels at the Jallrll cable showing
that Secretary Gresham has made a protest
antI ! a demand for a disclaimer ( antI an
apology on the Part oC the Spanish overn-
ment for the firing upon the AllIanca , I
Is too early yet to expect a response from
MInister Taylor , and when It does come I
la rather expected that It will Indicate a lie-
sire by the Spanish luvernment for a proper
opportunity to ascertain the facts , before
taking acton In the matter . But this . it Is
saul at the department , viIi scarcely avail In
the Ilresent case , unless the lressage conveys
coma assurance on the part ot the Spanish
government that It has instructed . its naval
commanders to refrain from furthlr Inter-
ference wIth vouch n'lng the American na ,
Time hotable feature of Secretary Gresham's
dispatch Is found In his statement that when
an AmerIcan vessel Is on her usual route' '
time fact that she Is Inside or outside of the
three.mle limit does not affect the meris
of the cafe.
From this I Is apparent that the secretary -
tary has taken his stand emi the 11eclslon of
time Alabama claims commIssion , which was
praclcaly n new dictum In international
law , for It hall been the rule previous to
that decision to regard as heyonll question
the right of a nation ta detain suspicIous
vesels rasslng within the limit of three
mies Cram its coasts over which its marine
jurlsllcton extended. 1 will unioubtcdly
cost Spain a biter effort to accept the force
at this doctrine , for If the right to stop suspicious -
picious shills In Cuban waters Is defied the
task at malntnlnlnl an effective blockade
against filibustering will he extremely dim-
cult , I not Impossible , without recourse
to a Corlol acknawledgment ot the belligerency -
ency of the insurgents , The Spanish ga\-
ernment would hi. exceedingly lath , OR arc
nearly mill nations la such cases , to make
such an acknowlcdgment , for not only woull
It Immensely strengthen the re lon
moral ) ' . but I would result In eanrerrln
upon them certain very Important aIds In
the prosecuton oC their warCare. I was
for just such a privilege that Admiral da
Onion struggled E hard In thc Brlzllan rl-
bellon : , only to meet defeat through the success -
cess of the efforts 01 the Peixoto govern-
mcnt In persuading the United Slates against
a formal recognitIon of his belgerency ,
Secretary Grcshnm came to the Slate department -
partment looking very weal as the result
af his Ilnes : , hut ! determined to keep Curt her
nelotutons In hiM own hands Looking to
thc future , I ! s ful ) ' expected , In view oC the
prompt action of the Spanish mlnlst here
In promlsl In m'nnce thnt I If Spain was
In the wrong she would malI all proper
reparatoa , that the Incident will be speedily
and peacefully settled , If , however , the
Spanish goverment shouh he stung by the
urgency shown hy the Unlte States In mal1-
lag that Issue Into refusing ta meet our 11e-
mamnis our minister , Mr. Taylor , may not
unllly emand his passports , and unless
cooler counsel comIng from rome disInterstej
and friendly nation prevails nn ugly comnphi-
caton may result , ending In the presence oC a
considerable fleet of United States naval
vessels In Cuban , \ters to protect shipping.
A telegrm received nt the Navy depart-
mlnt today from AdmIral Meade announced
his arrival wIth his squadron at La GualrJ , 0 :
the coast oC Venezuela lIe has now with
wih
him the flagship New York , the trllle screw

WAS A REALITY TO TIE I.
NEW 'YORK March 15.-Although Senor
Mmmrunga , the Spanish minister nt Washing-
ton. says that the story or a Spanish man-
of-war having fired on the Alianca of the
Colombia Inc looks like a sea serpent story
the officers oC the ship , when seen this alter-
noon by the Associated press reporter , were
very emllhatc In their denunciations or the
attack. First Officer Benjamin Coring , who
was In charge DC time ship , described the at-
tack made oil tIme American steamer by the
Spanish man-oC-war. . "It does not matter , "
said he , "what time Spanish minister may
think about I , but 1 can tel you this Is no
fish atory Time Alianca was about three
leagues off the shore at 6:30 : on time morning
at Murch 8 , and Cape Ma'sl was abeam. I
was not time officer oC the deck , as ! r. Hus
sel was emi the bridge and the captain was
looking aroun . Wimen about three miles
off wo hoisted our ensign and dIpped I three
times , amid the oncoming steamer answered
with a similar salute Shortly afterwards I
recognized her to be a Spanish man-oC-war ,
'We kept on our course , which was n little
Carther off land than usual , being fully three
leagues from the shore.
"J was standIng aft when we slgnale and
was very muck surprised when the warship
opened urn on us. The first three shots were '
evllcnty blanks , ns 1 saw no shots touch the
water . .
First Ofcer Coring warmed up as he de-
tailed the story oC the firing , and said : "Now ,
mind you , wo dId not slow ; not a bIt j but
we kept rIght on our way. After firing the
three blank shOtK time Spanish boat was In
our wake nbaut three miles off and she hauled
her head to the leaward , BO ns to let her
guns train on us , when she fired three shots
at Intef'als of a quarter of an hour , two
of the shells dropping 400 yards cn our star-
board quarter nml time third one a similar
-
distance , , on our port IUarter
"We kept going , and we soon showed the
SlmnlAh sllipper a clean hair oC hecls In
less than an hour aCer limo fusla e wo lost
sIght of the Spaniard , and she seemed to be
IHllklng at not being able to bring us ta a
