Madrid, Nov.' 12. With regard to dis
patches from Washington on the sub
ject of a possibility of trouble between
the United States and Spain, it is offi
cially denied that the Spanish premier,
senor Canovas del Castillo, has com
municated with the powers with a view
to seeking support against the United
States. It is explained that the story is
probably a revival of the report cir
culated in August last, when Spain pre
pared a memorandum on Cuban rela
. tionB with the United States, suggesting
that the powers assist Spain in bringing
amicable pressure to bear on the United
States.
On the occasion indicated and by the
advice of the ambassadors of the pow
ers, the Spanish minister of 'foreign af
fairs consulted with the United States
minister at Madrid before sending a
memorandum. It was the view of
Minister Taylor that a dispatch of such
note directly after President Cleveland's
proclamation calling for the observance
of the neutrality laws would 'be calcu
lated to seriously affect the relations be
tween Spain and the United States, and
in deference to that expression, the
Spanish minister of foreign affairs as
snrtd Minister Taylor that the memo
random would be withheld, also stating
that do offense was intended to Presi
dent Cleveland or the government of
the United States, and that Spain only
desired to sound the powers with a view
to the contingencies which might arise
out of the presidential election.
It is now added that the possibility of
war between the United States and
Spain is regarded as most remote. It is
pointed out that Spain remained per
fectly neutral during the presidential
election.
. CAME INTO HIS OWN AGAIN.
Bichard Filkey's Transition from Sailor
to Capitalist.
Lockpokt, N. Y., Nov. 12. Bichard
Pilkey, a young man formerly employed
on the Erie canal, gave up the life of a
fresh-water sailor today, and boarded
the noon train for the West, with a let
ter in his pocket which proclaimed him
the heir to properey in Michigan worth
$2,000,000.
When 17 years old, he was sent to Chi
cago to college, and had money without
stint. In 1892 he got into trouble, the
nature of which he did not care to stat,
and his father disowned him. He found
himself in the big city, without money
and without friends. As a last resort he
shipped on a lake, steamer for Buffalo.
When the boat arrived there he was
paid off and was told that he was no
longer wanted. When his money was
gone he got a job on the canal, shipping
with Captain Brinker, of the steam
canal-boat Sidney. He ran on the canal
until November, 1896, when the Sidney
was levied on and sold.
On the morning of the sale of the boat

of Michigan telling him to come home,
that his father and mother were both
dead. The young man had no money
with which to travel, and wrote to that
effect, and yesterday be received another
letter informing him that his father had
not left any will, and that he was the
sole heir to his estate, worth $2,000,000.
Kossia Collecting; a Large Force at
TladlTostock.
San Fkakcisco, Nov. 12. The Bui
letin says :
"A letter containing a duplicate of
mail advices sent by the regular corres
pondent of the Hong Kong Press, at
Vladivostock, and was turned over to
the Bulletin today. The communication
shows that the czar is massing troops in
the vladivostock district, and has a
large number of naval vessels in north
ern waters. The principal details of the
situation are contained In the following
paragraphs :
"Although the Russian government
explains that the massing of troops in
the Primorsk and Eastern Siberia is due
to "exchange of army divisions," it is
learned that in all the divisions of Vladi
vostock there are not less than 112,000
men of arms, which monster army
is looked upon as a menace to the peace
of Asia.' "
"I he correspondent, commenting on
the situation says :
"While it is confessed that Russia is
entitled to some outlet to the Pacific, the
continuous and warlike preparations are
anything but reassuring. The frequent
presence of Russia's engineers at. Port
Arthur, and their operations in Man
churia, with tbe tacit consent of China,
are highly significant indications of the
relations between Russia and China, and
point unmistabably to tbe common ob
ject of Russia's warlike preparations.'
"It behooves the British goverment
to thoroughly investigate this very im
portant matter.' "
The Venezuelan Decision
London, Nov, 12. The St. James' Ga
zette publishes a leading article headed
"An Historic Moment' in which it
says : "Lord Salisbury's great admis
sion of the principle that the United
States have the right to intervene in the
frontier disputes of American powers'
and to compel the disputants to arbi,
trate, altogether transcends in Import
anc'e the question of the Guiana bound
ary. It is a formal recognition of the
hegemony of the United States on" the
American continent, and gives the pres
ident of the United btates a power
which the medieval popes and emperors
tried vainly to claim in Europe."

Inter Ocean from Washington, says :

leading trunk line roads running to Key
West, New Orleans and other gulf . ports

pacity to move troops, supplies and

tions as, "If yon are requested to move
5,000 troops over your lines with neces
sary equipment and supplies, how long
after notification will you require to per
form the service?" Caution as to
secrecy is imposed on all roads called on

would never have any more hair on his head,
