WASHINGTON , March 16.-1n event ot I
Spaln's npoJoglzlng for the Alnnca affair.
the qucston has arisen as to \Ilnt form the
npology will tnke In diplomatic uage nn
expression at regret Is often accompanied by
nn offer 10 sluto the fag at the country to
I , , which an international discourtesy has been
given. This was the course ot the United
States In salutng the rench fag In 1855
St. and saluting the Brazilian nag In l8GG.
In the former case the French nag was
salutel as a mark of apology for nn indignity
against the French consul at San ranclsco.
Mr 'I arc ) the then secretary of state , first
offered tu make an apology by saluting the
French lag on a rench man-of-war atop-
IJlug at San Francisco. Count de Sartges ,
the French minister Washington , asled
In , addition that when the consular lag at .
San Francisco was hoisted It should receive
1 salute. This was declined by Mr. Iarcy.
France was not satsfed , but ' after some
months the French government agreed to ac-
cept as sumclent satisfaction an expression or
regret by the government at the United
States coupled with the provision that "when
S. . I French national ship or squadron shall ap- :
pear In the harbor at San Francisco the
usual authorities there military or naval , wi
salute the national nag bore by such ship
or squadron with a national salute , and the
French ship ( or squadron whose nag Is thus
saluted wi retur the salute gun for gun. "
The salute at the lag was thus given and
wih such apology the Incident closed
In 18GG the United States sent a man-or.
war to Brazi 'or the express purpose at
offering an apology by firing . salute to the
Brazilian flag. The United states hal seized
the confederate shill FlorIda , at I3ahla Dra-
all . thus violating the neutrality law. Mr.
SewarJ , then secretary at war , announced a
purpose to make full apology , including the
dismissal at the United States consul at
_ Dahla , when advised at the attack , the court-
martial at the United States naval commander -
mander who committed the offense , and a
salute tu the Brazilian flag. , The last feature
ot the apology was executed with much cere-
mony on tha very spot where Brazilian
neutrl ) ' hOI been Invade/ .
In the Vlrglnus case the United , States demanded .
manded n salute at our fag as a part at the
apology from Spain , but the salute was afterward -
ward walveJ on its appearing that the papers
at the Vlrglnus were basel on a false am-
davit.
The ofcial salute of the United States to
foreigners Is male up of as many shots as
there are states In the union. The salute to
the president and his fleet Is a fixed number
; at twent-ono guns. Should Spain salute our
fag It would probably be by firing twenty-one
gun ! .
NO HESPONSC FROM SPAIN.
Sccretary Gresham was at the State lie-
partment tOday for a short time , but Mr. Uhl ,
r the first assistant secretary , Is still acting as
secrctar ) ' . In answer to an InquIry ho said
that 10 response had yet beets received from
Urltell States Minister Taylor nt Madrid con-
corning the demand made by the State de-
parlment for reparation for the firing upon
the Alliance. The Alabama claims decision ,
upon which this lemand was based , Is corIng -
log In for a good deal at discussion hero ant
the dlllomatc corps are by no means a unit
In giving It their adherence. One omclal con-
. tends that 11Ire never has been n practical
application ot the doctrine since It was
enulclated and urges that the Unltcll States
itself Is the last Iower that can afford to
surrender its claim to jurisdiction , extending
, even to the right at detaining and searching
Bu plcous vessels within the waters lying
three mitts from our coasts. Should this
position be taken , however , It Is alleged that
I would bo lraticahiy Impossible to prevent
wholesale smuggling and the violation at our I
revenue alul customs laws at every turn. The !
same doctrine , If extelulPl to Bering sea , .
woul ! throw open the seal fisheries to the
vessels at all nations other than England ,
which would bo stopped only by the specific
treaty.
Senor Muiruaga the Spanish minister , Is
calmly awaiting denlopments , hut has not
beard ( toni the State department or from
Spain concerning the Alanca affair . I was
: ' reported that the minister hall been at the
State Ilepartment this morning , but this was
hot the case and , as Secretary Grcsham Is
dealing directly with the Spanish olcials nt
Madrid , S nor luruaga feels that he will
have no occasion to communicate with the
department unless Mr Gresham scuds for
him , The minister said tOday that he hoped
the excitement over the affair would not
prevent temperate and geol natured consider-
aton at the case. lie his been frank and
outspoken ' concerning I , but docs not want
his attitude to be mistaken for Irritation or
hack or every dlplomato courtesy to the
authorities hero
"At the very outset " said the mlnluter , "I
sought Mr. Uhl , the acting secretary , anl ,
assured him that If the facts disclosed that
the Spanish boat was In the wrong then an
apology 1 oull be malIc and llY only desire

the Alianca IncIdent was true. The United
States government , at the Mme tIne , dc-
mandell that American trade with Cuba
should not be Interfered with . lie hoped the
Alanca affair ' would be amicably settled.
The United States government , he explained ,
considered the firing on the Allnnca to ba a
violation at the principles or international
law. I MInister Grolseanl , In conclusion , said

est Investigation at the affair to bc made.

lEHLIN , Iarch 16.-The revision of the
German-American extraditon treaty Is now
under way. The terms of the existing treaty
In some respects are nol satisfactory to
either government. I Is the question of the
costs Involved In extradition proceedings
which Is the main objection on the American
side , since time great majority of the extradi-
ton proceedings occur In America hi the
proportion or 100 to I , so that the American
government , with each side defraying the
oXllenses at the proceedings within its respective -
spectve sphere , bears more than its proper
share. Consequent ) ' , In ISII , the American i
government male alvances to Germany with
the view of modifying the treaty provisions
In this amid IJI other respects , Including the
right or each Government to try extradited
persons solely on the specific charges under
which their extradition was flenmaimded. Ger-
ninny , however , was not satisfied with the
proposed changes , and the negotiations after
a time were dropped. A recent extradition
case at Hamlmrg , the person involved being
a clever nl'enturess , who passed herself off

GRAIN MONOPOLY BILL SHELVED.
:1OlOLY DI.L
Emperor William presides daily at the sessions -
sions at the state council , which lasts from
10 In time morning until 1 o'clock In the afternoon -
noon , and from 3 p. m. until 7 o'clock In
the evening. Ills majesty lies proved himself
an excellent chairman , rulng debate with a
nrm hanl and at the same time allowing
full discussion. The grain monopoly proposals
at I anlz have been virtually shelved by the
state council and the agrarians , In reply have
Introduced van Kanita's bill , signed by 103
members , Into the Reich stag , This number ,
I should be added , about represents the total
strength at the members at the Relchstag
who are In favor at time bill , so there IB no
posslbl chanc ot its adoption. Consequent
quent ) ' , American grain will not be excluded
from Germany for the present. Time prohibi-
ton at the Import at American cattle was
also discussed on Wednesday by the stale
council , and I was decided not to reommend
any new measures In this respect.
Time state council yesterday discussed the
curreJJcy question , and adopting a resolution
noting with satisfaction von Hohonlohe's
statement In the ReIehstag , February 15 ; In
regard to the proposed International monetary
conference , and expressed tao opinion that
In view of tbls statement no further measures
should be taken at present , but that the re-
suits at the steps already contemplate should
b awaited. The statement of Hohenlohe In
the elchstag on February 15 , regarding the
proposal at an Internatonal monetary con-
I terence was as follows : "Without prejudic-
lug our Imperial currency , one must confess
time differences In time value of gold and silver
continue to react upon our commercial life.
Polowlng , therefore , the tendencies which led
to the appointment at 1 silver commission , I
am ready to consider In conjunction wIth the
federal governments , whether wo cannot en-
ter upon a friendly Interchang at opinion as
to common remedial measures with the other
states which are chlefy Interested In main-
taining the value at silver. "

. members at
CableSpecial Telegram.-The )
time go\'ernmcnts of Great Britain , Germany
amid 1iusia are retcent , of course , concern-
lug what action will be tnken In case Japan
should demand a large concession of Chinese
territory In the peace provisions. Time 0111-
clal neWSpalJer organs touch time subject
with the utmost delicacy , but Innuental men
In prlvato converston discuss the proba-
bites with serious concern. Lord Hose-
bery Inthnated In a speech last autumn how
deeply Interested England Is In the PossIble
disrupton at Chmimma
"It will not be permitted by Englall , nor
indeed by the civilIzed world " said he.
I I A member or Parlament , In close relatons
wih the government , saId today : "Tho unInterrupted -
Interrupted succcss of the Japanese army , i
and still more the unanimous testimony of
foreign correspndents that the Chinese peo-
pIe have received the conquerors without
hostlty , sometmes even with effusion ,
raises a question of startling Importance to
Russia and I nglanl , partIcularly . and to all
European nations. I has recently occupied
the atenton of our own govcrment nnd
has been the subject of much corrcspondenco
between London and st. Petersburg.
MIGhT CONQUER TIlE WORLD.
"Japan's lengthy preparatons for war and
her now well known arrangements for the
civil admlnlstrton at the conquered prov-
incas might Inlicate a clearly formed Inten-
ton on her part to remain In Peking after
capturing the city. The Tartar pynasty was
never popular In China , There Is no national
feeling ' or patriotism ' 11 the country , as ' we
understand it. The outrageous tyrann and
corruption at the mandarins , if I followed by
lho present policy at Japan In the cenquere
provinces to respect persons and property
and establish the same admirable system of
order and good government as at home ,
would Induce the Chinese people 10 welcome
gladly a change at masters. Suppose , then ,
Japan firmly seated at Peltng ! , wIth control '
at 300,000,000 people and all their resources.
Could mill the civilized world prevail agaInst
her ? Sue Is flushed with victory now , Unhampered -
hampered by outside Infuenco , her armies
are certain to occupy time Chinese capital by
next sunlmuerVe should not permit her to
go much farther , that Is , It wo even now
have the power to bring her to a hall or
to interfere successfully with what terms she
choosc's to exact As to the acquisition at
Formosa , the Island geographically belongs
to Japan , and 1 do nol believe any government -
ment would object to Its transfer. "
CHINA HAS ASKED NO LOAN
There Is no posItive Intormaton tmt China
has even sounded the great fnancial houses
; here , or In Paris or Berlin , regarding a loan
! to pay the Japanese Indemnlt . The noths-
chids have not been approached with any
definite proposal certainly. Time financiers
hero thlnlt the placing In Europe of such a
loan as Is suggested , $400,000.000 , or halt
that amount , Is very doubtful unless under
provisions extremely dlsadv.ntag'ous to
China. The comparatvely small loan placed
here some months ago , alhough secured hy
time customs duties at several large Chinese
paris , bas proved unfortunate to speculators
amid Investors. Probably , however , China In
her desperation woull offer such terms at
security now that money would be had , Time
prospect ot the loan Is universaly accepted
as uccountng for the rise In silver , taken
together wlh the antclpatel certainty that
the terms at peace will provide for lImo open-
Ing UI ) of time country anti the consequent
great and steady Infow at silver for time
purposes of comnmerce

lAS FULL IOWmt TO ACT.
LI lunp Chang has been given ful powers
to conclude a treat ) ' . China has plelgel her-
self throlgh the UnltCI States ministers to
abide by whatevcr condiions he lay accept
In her behaH. General John \V. Foster , ex-
American secretary of state , was engagel by
China to act as counsel for the peace com-
mlslon which went to Japan with worthless
credemmtimmls. lie has been retained , I Is
stated , as adviser of LI.
Japan's peace ambassadors are Count Ito ,
her Ilrlmo minister , anti Viscount lutsu , minIster -
later or foreign affairs. They have authority
to hh11 Japan to whatever conditions they
agree to Impose on China. They are on the
way to the place of mmmeetimmg.
Time conrereneD riii be held at Shlmonose
wi
HI , on the southwester extremiy or 10nlo ,
time largest island or the Japanese emlJlre , on
which are situated Tolto , Yokohama and
most of tIme chief cities. I Is at time entrance to
time Inland sea. Hiroshima , tIme emperor's war
healquarters , Is about 100 miles away. There
was considerable corrOspondence over time
place at assambiing. LI Hung Chang wanted
the Japanese ambassalors to meet him In
Manchuria , near Port Arthur , and In the can-
"quered territory. Ho pleaded physical In-
frmlUes as his excuse for not whhlng' to'
travel to Japan. Premier Ito would nol hear
I
to such I propositon , and the gettIng to- .1 .
gether must bo on Japanese soil. I
An ambassador at LI Hung's rank Is en-
titled to travel In the besl war ship at com-
maml. I he should sail up to a Japan port
like Yolwhama , or It he should undertake to
invade time Inland sea and go to Ilroshlma
on a man-of-war f'lng the Chlneso nag , the
government might not be able to restrain the
Japanese. At any rate the authorities did
not feel that It would be prudent to run such
a rlslt. Consequently a smaH , out-ot-the-way
place was chosen , and there the ambassadors
rIll seek 10 frame a treaty , the hnportance
at which to tIme civIlized world cannot be
estimated.
WAShINGTON INFORMED OF THE MOVE.
WAShINGTON , March IG.-Tho Japanese
legaton has received n cable message confirming -
firming the press dispatches of the departure
of 1.1 Hung Chang. The peace negotiations
wIll be conducted at Shlmonoseltl Instead at
Hiroshima as orlglnal ) announced . The
chang has been made to accommodate LI
Hung Chang for his voyage on Chinese vessels -
eels , and I the negotatons were held at
hiroshIma he would be compeHed to transfer to
I Japanese simlp Shlmonoseltl Is on the cx-
treme southwester coast at Japan , and It
was here that In time early GOs the foreign
powers forced Japan to assent to certain In-
dcmnltes demanded of time empire. Time town
has a populaton at 10,000.
I Is stated at the legation that assertions
that the peace negolaton5 have been arranged -
ranged already and that the whole affair Is
cut and dried arc erroneous , and that all
statements aa to the details ot terms at peace
are guesses. None of the details , It Is said ,
have been settled and theywl not be until
time negotiations arc In progrcss. Japan has
been Informed that 1.1 111g Chang has full
power to arrange terms of peace nn.1 . has
been assured China desires that the wnr be
stopped by treaty agreement. The details
as to the price China shall pay have not been
dennlely arranged , neither at time exact ccs-
slon at territory nor tIme amount at the In-
demniy or kind at money In which It shal
be Ilaid. Japan has reached certain con-
clusions , espccla\y respecting the cession of
terrier ) ' , but no conclusion has been reached
with ChIna. MInister Denby has cablel the
State epartment confrming the press re-
port at the departure at 1.1 BUlg Chang for
