DIPLOMACY IS NEEDED
Trouble With Spain Can Be
Easily Averted.
WHAT A CORRESPONDENT LEARNS
Spanish Gorernment Not Trying to
Fore a War Coasal William
Saccessor.
- Nbw Yobk, April 13. A dispatch to
' the Herald from Madrid Bays:
' With the employment of a little diplo-
macy by the United States the impend
ing trouble with Spain can be averted.
Yonr correspondent is able to state this
most authoritively after conversation
with the leaders of the two important
parties in Spain. If the United States
will approach the Spanish govern
ment in a friendly spirit and ask
exactly what conditions of autonomy the
Spanish government will grant to Cuba
before the former government recog
nizes the insurgents on -the island as
belligerents, the Spanish will meet such
overtures half way.
Senor Sagasta, the liberal leader and
former prime minister, said that the
Spanish government was certainly not
trying to force a war with the United
States.
"It has taken," be said, "the ntmost
precaution to protect the lives and prop
erty of American citizens in Spain since
this trouble began, all anti-American
demonstrations have been promptly
stopped and no American, up to the pres
ent time, has sufferei the least harm."
SCHCLZE'S STEALINGS.
Statement By a Prcmlnent Spokane Man
St. Paul Syndicate Swindled.
Chicago, April 13. A special to the
Tribune from St. Paul says: Not long
ago it was announced that Paul Schulze,
general agent of the Northern Pacific
land department, who committed suicide
at Tacoma, had embezzled $1,500,000.
This revealed the fact that he bad taken
$600,000 from a St. Paul syndicate. L.
C. Dillman, of Spokane, Wash., the prin
cipal member of the syndicate, said last
night: "I have for five years been ac
cused of . having secured large sums
wiongfully from the St. Paul land syn
dicate which bought the Northern Pa
cific lands at Spokane, and of which I
was general manager. Until now I
could eay nothing, but the Northern Pa
cific has sent me a statement that my
affairs are straight. Schulze charged
' the syndicate over $300,000 more than
the directors of the road asked for the
Spokane land, which included Cliff Park,
Shantytown, and other lands.
"Of the cash that the syndicate paid
to Schulze on the original price,. $312,
000, he appropriated to bis own . use
$254,400. Besides this, he got a 40-acre
tract of land valued at $30,000, and he
was to get about $300,000 more of a per
sonal rake-off. I have presented a
claim against the company for $580,000
in land that I was forced to relinquish
through the cancellation of the contract
by Schulze, and for $112,400 that I over
paid the company above the amount of
$200,000 that the directors asked for it.
I have assurances from the receivers
that a settlement of this claim will be
made without recourse to the courts.
"Schulze told me the price of the land
was $823,000, and not a cent less, of
which $200,000 must be cash, and on the
rest we could have all the time we
wanted. By October, 1892, we had paid
$312,400. A resolution was passed by
the board of directors of the road in 1890,
and the price at which the land should
be sold was fixed at $200,000, instead of
$832,000. If that should be true, I will
have overpaid somebody $769,000 before
the deal is closed."
The Bomb Was Genuine.

headquarters, and marked "Medicine,"
was brought to the general postoffice to
day by a collector of mail from the
downtown boxes. A postoffice employe
tore off the wrappings at one end, re
vealing the heads of several matches
and bits of fuse.
An examination showed that by a
vigorous tearing apart of the wrapping
paper, the matches would be ignited and
set off the fuse, which entered a large
cracker, filled with powder. The bomb
was genuine, though not so dangerous as
to have proved fatal. It was clumsily
made. .

Another B lllbnaterine Expedition
Reaches the Cuban Coast.
Key West, April 13. The steam tug
George W. Childs, which became notor
ious as a filibuster about a year ago, is
once more in the service of the Cubans,
and on Friday left Cape Florida with an
expedition for the island. The Cubans
have been fitting out this expedition for
some weeks, and it is one of the best
equipped that has yet left the United
States. The party was commanded by
Colonel Juan Monson, and there were
100 men in the party, half of whom were
Americans. The Cubans have been stor
ing arms and ammunition on Cape Flor
ida for three weeks. Many of the arms
were brought here by steamer, and then
taken In schooners to the Cape. The
schooner Cora I.ee took two cargoes from
this place, and the Dollie three. The
steamer Three Friends, of Jacksonville,
which passed down the coast a few days
ago, also left a lot of arms on the Cape.
It is said that 4000 rifles, 50,000 cart
ridges, five, Gatling guns and a large
number, of pistols and machetes were
stored there.
The tug Childs left here on Thursday,
ostensibly to bring a disabled schooner
to port, but the vessel proceeded to Cape
Florida, took the munitions and men on
board, and sailed for Cuba. It is . re
ported she effected a landing on the
Pinar del Kio Coast, being met by a de
tachment from Maceo's army.
The Spanish vice-consul here learned
of the expedition and informed - the
United States authorities, who ordered a
revenue cutter to look out for the fili
buster. The cutter proceeded to Cape
Florida and sighted the Childs as the
latter was making off. The cutter gave
chase, but the Childs, being very fleet,
was soon out of reach and the United
States vessel returned to port. It is
said the Washington authorities hav6
ordered no seizures to be made except
within the marine limits. .
WILL BK A CLASH SOON.
A Crisis In Cohan Affairs Said to Be
Approaching:
New Obleans, April 13. The Pica
yune tomorrow will print the follow
ing letter, dated April 5, fro,m its special
correspondent at Havana : -
The condition of affairs is continuing
to draw to a crisis and soon there will
be a clash which will either redound to
the benefit of the Spaniards or the Cu
bans. Foi the past four days no official
news has been given out at the captain
general's office, and rumors are received
of a battle in which the insurgents were
victorious. No details can be learned,
but there has been considerable hurry
ing and senrrying around the palace.
. The landing of the expeditions have
caused a bad effect here, especially as
the coast was supposed to be so well
guarded. . I am informed of the real de
tails of the Collazo expedition. It eeems
that while the expedition was landing its
arms and ammunition, a cruiser hove in
sight and the vessel carrying, the expe
dition, ut to sea, being pursued by the
cruiser, whose searchlight was used to
discover the vessel. ' In the meantime,
the force of the coast patrol came up and
captured a score of rifle boxes, and car
ried them to the nearest town, which
was Cardenas, and placed : them in a
warehouse on the ouBtkirts of the town.
During the night, the Cuban forces,
which were to protect the landing of the
expedition, and who bad been informed
of the presence of the arms, overpowered
ttU.;Jita.
the guards at the warehouse, and, before
reinforcements cume, recaptured the
arms and carried them away, while a
guard of insurgents protected the re
treat and held the Spanish troops in
check.
There are two absorbing topics at
present. One is the attitude of the
United States, and the other is the action
that President Cleveland will take. -
Spanish Press raultflndlne.
London, Aphl 13. A Madrid dis
patch to the Standard says:
The press here evinces ill humor be
cause American juries have acquitted
the captains of notorious filibusters in
tended for Cuba. The Ecopa declares
that in the event of a conflict between
Spain and America over Cuba, Spanish
diplomacy would make the matter a
European question, and it insinuates
that Spain is sure of European sympa
thy in such an event.
