headquarters for the Cuban revolution-
Its In this Cfuntry. I was first sent out a9
a special to the New York Herald , In which
. I appeared this morning.
Senor Iuruag declined today to see callers
:
or to receive any messags. In response to
lrgent requests for Information on the Alli-
anca aralr and the answer of SpaIn , a note
from the minister was presented to all InquirIes -
quirIes , saying : "Ixcuse me , I have nothing
further for Publication. "
Among thc callers on the minister was
Mr. Gray , forer : owner of the Alanca , bltl
'
. _ he . too , was unable to secure an Interview.
He next went to the State epartment. Mr. :
Gray was receiver of thc AmerIcan and flra- :
zlian Steamship company , which operated
the Alancf and sold her to the present
owners. lIe speaks In hIgh terms of her Ca-
pabihitles. Mr. Gray nays that hIs present
business wIth the Spanish minister and the
State department Is of a private nature and
does not concern Ibo Alianca matter. tie Is
wel acquainted with the coast trade between
the United States Cuba and South America
and does not believe our mmerclal Interests
will be seriously affected hy the Cuban uprising -
rIsing or by the Alanea Inchlmt.
Secretary Oresham was closeted all morn-
log with State eparlment officials anti other
persons concerning dlploatc happenings

theorized n formal denial to be mallo of reverts -

Clearing House associaton said : "The

thIs cl ) That the bank would have to
Iquhlate sooner or later has been for some
time a foregone conclusion. When the bank

was lloublul then whether or not I would
reopm agaIn The probable assets of the
bank arc close to ' 2,000,000 , but owing to the
tact that much of this Is represented by

simp a gradmmal dying out. There Is but
little doubt but what the depositors will re-
ceive dollar for dolar wih interest for their
mooney although It may b ( sonic time before .

' 'he current opinion expressed among
bankers and others who have information
emu the mater fixes the amount that will be
realized by stockholders nt trom 25 to 40
per cent at theIr holdli/s of stock. Time
principal stockholders were emu the directory.
