London, March 2.— It is stated here
today that there is good authority for
believing the result o f the conferences
between representatives of the great
powers at Constantinople and Athens
w ill be the presentation of collective
notes to Turkey and Greece. Greece
w ill be allowed four days to recall her
land and sea forces from Crete.
It is reported from Canea that sev
eral insurgent leaders have sent to
Vice-Admiral Canevario, o f the Italian
fleet, a signed declaration that the Cre
tans w ill accept no solution o f the
pending question but political union
with Greece.
Fighting continues between the in
surgents and Mussulmans near Retinio
and elsewhere. The Christians be-
sieged the Turkish garrisons in the
blockhouse at Malta for several days.
Today, a body o f Turkish regulars
and irregulars left Canea with a con
voy to revictual tlie blockhouse. The
insurgents attacked the column and
killed several ol the escort, whereupon
the Turkish battleship Fuad opened
fire upon the insurgents with shells,
and continued firing until stopped by
order o f the foreign admirals. The
convoy was finally compelled to retire.
N o C o i m n u n i c a t l o u F r o m H u «*la .
London, March 2.— The Athens cor
respondent of the Chronicle declares no
official communication has been re
ceived from Russia. It is quite certain
the Greek army will not be withdrawn.
Macedonian forces will be raised with a
view to possible contingencies, and if
the Turks attempt to invade Thessaly,
the Bulgarian government is deter
mined to advance its troops instantly
to the Agean sea. It is rumored that
the secret national committee had de
cided to commence operations in Mace
donia at once.
Special dispatches state that the
Turks succeeded in revictualing the
blockhouse at Malta, but were attacked
by insurgents on their return.
The consuls at Candia have signed a
telegram imploring the powers not to
delay a decision.
The town is so
crowded w ith Moslems that famine
threatens great loss of life. Hundreds
of sheep and cattle are already dying
from want of fodder. The insurgents
have completely cordoned Candia. The
greatest anxiety exists also as to the
situation at Selinos, where the armis
tice agreed upon by the powers has ex
pired. The insurgents are in a worse
mood than ever, and thoroughly deter
mined.

London, March 2.— The Athens cor
respondent of the Times says that a
war tax is about to be proclaimed in
the provinces of Thessaly and Arta,
Its Bucharest correspondent states
that the Roumanian government has
decided to call out all the reserves from
the years 18 to 52.
The Tim es’ advices report serious
news from Candia. Colonel Goracas,
with 15,000 insurgents and three guns,
threatens to attack Hierapetra, where
the garrison is ill supplied with arms
and ammunition, and the forts are
weak. It is feared this may seriously
complicate the situation. A famine is
imminent in Candia, and it is intimat
ed the troops there may pillage the dis
trict.
Fighting is in progress today. The
Baslii Bazouks lost three killed and five
wounded.
The regulars lost eight
killed and five wounded.
The Times correspondent at Canea
states that the insurgents bitterly de
nounce British Consul Bilotti as the
chief instrument in thwarting for many
years the attempt to lilierate Crete.
The Mohammedans loofed the Brit
ish consul’ s house at HierapetTa Friday
night, yet only on the prefidus day he
had vehemently denounoed any act of
incendiarism or looting on the part of
the Moslems.
According to the Ahtens qorresond-
ent of the Times,the Greek carnival
revels passed off with the usual spirit
and enthusiasm.

City of Mexico. March 2.— The latest
news from the mine disaster at Zacate
cas shows that it is fully as bad as first
reported. Fire broke out in the Zana-
moro mine, the property of the Zom-
bete Company, and communicated to
tlie San Francisco mine. The principal
shaft iu the former is 3,300 feet deep,
and a rescuing party went to the bot
tom, but was nearly suffocated by
smoke. The Cornish miners displayed
unusual heroism in attempting the re
lief of the imprisoned men.
Ten
bodies have been taken out, and all
show signs o f asphyxiation. There is
no longer any doubt that 170 miners
perished.
The city of Zacatecas is a scene of
mourning. This is the greatest dis
aster iu its history in modern times.

New York, March 2.— A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
The Marquis de Palmerola made a
scandalous personal attack on General
Lee Wednesday night in the palace in
the presence o f several newspaper cor
respondents. The incident arose be
cause the censor refused to pass a dis
patch for the correspondents w hich said
that the release of Scott had been de
manded because lie was both arrested
and kept in prison in defiance of the
law.
“ Who tohl you that?” shouted Gen
eral Palmerola, the secretary of state.
“ General L ee,” replied the corre
spondent calmly.
“ General Lee is a liar, impostor and
rebel,” shouted the little marquis with
an oath.
This incident is telegraphed merely
to show how the wind is blowing in
the palace, and to let yon see what must
be the treatment and position o f an ordi
nary citizen, when our consul-general is
reviled openly by one of the heads of

Seattle, Wash., March 2.— Albert
Thompson, a fireman on the tug Mystic,
was literally killed liy inches this
morning, just as the boat was working
slowly out into the stream. Thompson
was shutting off a drain cock, when
he slipped and fell from the platform
into the crankpit, six feet below. In
some manner, not clearly explained,
both legs were canglit by the revolving
crankH, with the result that he was
wound up in the machinery to his hips.
As the throttle was only one-tihrd
open, the human obstructor stopped the
engine.
Thompson’s cries brought
the engineer to liis assistance, but, af
ter working half an hour, only one leg
was released. The other was cut off
by a surgeon.
Death took place a few
moments later. It took ten minutes
to pick pieces of flesh out of the ma

New York, March 2.— A fire which
broke out in the liig Gould match fac
tory at Passiac, N. J ., was extinguished
by the employes without sending an
alarm to the fire department There
was great excitement u(M>n discovery of
the lire, hut the ringing of ls-lls in the

gone to practice in anticipation of afire.
Men, women and girls joined iu tho
work of fighting the fire, which seemed
to spring through the floor from the
cellar in a dozen places, but it was
finally put out without the aid of the
firemen. There was no insurance, hut
the factory is fitted w ith all modern ap
pliances for fighting fire.
Many of the those employed in the
factory believe tlie fire was of incen
diary origin. It is said some workmen
who were recently discharged have
threatened to burn the building, and
the fact that the fire seemed to break
out in so many places at once is quoted
as a reason for suspecting oriininal
agencies.

New York, March 1.— A special to
the Herald from Havana, via Key West,
says:
Americans are flocking in from the
country. The position of our citizens is
most critical.
The rumor, whether
true or false, has gone abroad that the
American government would not in
tervene so long as the trade interests of
the country are not interfered with.
Unless something firm and decided
and strongly American is done by our
government in Washington, Americans
are in danger of their lives.
The murder of Ruiz and the demand
for the release of Scott are the sole
topics of conversation.
The govern
ment and palace people here have tried
to change the subject of conversation by
giving out news of an alleged skirmish
w ith Gomez, but the attempt was a
failure.
The amusement and the great hilarity
which were observed in the palace have
changed.
Minister de Lome, always
accurate as a news gatherer, has cabled
the captain-general that Lee w ill not
be recalled and his resignation is not
accepted, and that he may be sustained.
Hundreds of telegrams have poured
in ou Consul-General Lee from all quar
tors of the globe, congratulating him
on the stand he has taken, those from
the United States promising patriotic
action in congress.
Even at this crit
ical moment, and with many heavy
cares and responsibilities which the
administration should share weighing
upon him, General Lee views the situ
ation from a calm, dispassionate stand
point, and he expresses the hope that
the situation created by the murder of
Ruiz and his own determination not to
submit to another similar atrocity
should not l>o exploited by partisan ad
vocates of any particular policy toward
the Island of Cuba.

Washington, Marth 1.— 2:40 P. M —
Senator Hale has just received at the
capitol a telegram from Secretary O l
ney, which says in effect that Consul-
General Lee never asked for his pass-
jsirts, never asked for warsbipa, and
that the whole story as to his tendering
his resignation is a fake.
The rumor has gained wide currency
that Consul-General Lee has been given
his passports, and that a serious rupture
had occurred
between tho United
States and Spain. Tlie report is abso
lutely discredited here.

New York, March 1.— A World special
from Havana says:
The state department refuses to
answer General Lee’ s cabled questions,
whether or not it will sustain his de
mands that Spanish outrages iijsin
Americans cease and that tho liberty
and treaty rights of citizens of the
United States be respected by tho Span
ish authorities.
Ruiz was kept incommunicado thir
teen days before he was killed. To
prevent Scott lieing secretly murdered,
General Lee demanded of General
Ahnmada on Friday that Scott be
brought out of close confinement and
allowed to see his friends. This was
not done by Saturday, and General Leo
cabled to Secretary Olney the facts,
asking him how many warships were
on the Florida coast, and if one would
be sent here in case it became necessary
to enforce a demand.
Not one word in reply to the ques
tion has come from Washington up to
Wednesday, four days after the state
department had been asked by the
consul-general in an emergency if he
could rely upon his government fully
sustaining him in protecting the citi
zens of his country.
The Spanish authorities do not in
the least respect treaty stipulations
that no American prisoner must lie
kept in solitary confinement more than
five days, and must tie acquainted with
the charge against him within twenty-
fonr honrs.
No American prisoner over was
brought out o f solitary confinement in
a dark cell within the time specified.
The American colony is bordering on
a panic, now that there is no hope of
protection from the government at
Waahington unless congress compels it
to send a fleet immediately.

Washington, March 1.— The last six
days of the session are suspension days.
A ll the ordinary rules are suspended,
and bills can be passed and resolutions
adopted by a two-thirds vote of the
house. Today was the first of these six
days, and the house celebrated it by
passing tho senate international mone
tary conference bill. Despite the seem
ing divergence of views on the money
question, the hill was passed, after a
lively debate of two hours, by a vote of
279 to 3. Those voting no were Henry,
Republican, of Connecticut; Johnson,
Republican, of Indiana, and t^uigg, Re
publican, of New York.
It was sup
ported alike by Republicans, gold Dem
ocrats and silver Democrats. Tlie silver
Democrats and silver Republicans dis
claimed any faitli in the commission to
secure bimetalism, but they expressed
themselves as v tiling to have the test
made.
(juigg and Johnson both made vigor
ous speeches in opposition. Those who
spoke for the bill were C. W. Stone,
Grow, Watson, McCreary, Sparkman,
Hartman, McRae, Cooper, Cox and Mc
Millan.
The bill also passed to provide for
the arbitration of differences between
tho carriers of interestate commerce
and their employes (known as the Erd-
man bill); also the senate bill to pre
vent the importation o f impure tea.
After the dramatic Cuban debate in
the senate yesterday, the discussion to
day was comparatively spiritless. The
galleries were packed, however, in ex
pectation o f interesting developments,
but there was no incidents during the
day that awakened more than passing
interest. Tho Indian bill wus consid
ered up to 1 P. M.. when for four hours
a general discussion of the Sanguilly
ease and of the pardon occurred.
Frye said at the outset that the San
guilly resolution should be retired.
Morgan asked for tho adoption of
another resolution calling for informa
tion as to the imprisonment of George
Aguirre.
He also reviewed the San
guilly ease, declaring that the action
of the senate yesterday had warned
Spain against a collision with the Unit
ed States, and had moved the queen to
the nnusunl expedient of a pardon by
cubic. Tlie senator severely criticised
tho president and secretary of state for
alleged inaction in this case.
Lodge and Call spoke on various
phases o f Cuban atrocities, and Halo
and White deprecated the Cuban agita
tion. A resolution by Cull calling on
the president for information on behalf
o f the death of Ruiz in Cuba went over
to tomorrow. The Sanguilly resolution
went to tho oallendar by general con
sent, which dis]>OHed of it as a mutter
o f present interest.
The rest of the day was given to the
Indian appropriation bill.

Washington, March 1.— Tho prelimi
nary newspa|ier nqiorts of the coming
Corbett-Fitzsiinmons prizefight were
brought to the attention of the house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce today by Rev. W ilbur F.
Crufts, with the request for speedy and
radical action by that committee. Mr.
Crufts is secretary of the National Re
form League, and has bean instru
mental in securing congressional uction
against prizefighting and against lot
teries. He presented to the committee
the draft of a bill to stop sensational
reports of prizefights, representing that
most newspapers would bo glad to
om it the details of pugilistio events
from their columns if they were not
driven to pnhlish them by the enter
prise of less scrupulous rivuls.
The committee made some immaterial
changes in the bill, and then, by a prac
tically unanimous vote, instructed Mr.
Aldrich, o f Illinois, to report it to the
house. The text of the bill follows:
“ Section 1. That no picture or de
scription of a prizefight or encounter of
pugilists under whutever name, or pro-
po«ul or record of betting on tlie same
shall lie transmitted in the umils of
the United States or by interstate com
merce, whether in a newspaper or other
periodical, or telegram, or in any other
form.
“ See. 3.
hat any person sending
such matter or knowingly receiving
snch matter for transmission by muil or
interstate commerce shall be deemed
guilty of misdemeanor, anil shall lie
punishable hy imprisonment for not
more thun five years at the diseretion
of tho court, or hy a tine not exceeding
$ 1 , 000 .

Atlanta, March 1.— H. P. Cook, a
one-armed Confederate vpteran, who
resides in this city, sent word to his
wife, with whom he had parted on had
teriuo a few days ago, that he was
dying, and begged her to come to his
bedside. She complied with his re
quest. and as she leaned over his pros
trate form he arose suddenly in bed and
made a terrific lunge at hia wife's
throat with an o|ien claspknife. The
knife sank into the woman’ s neck below
the jugular vein and made a gash six
inches long under the chin.
Mrs.
Cook's chances for recovery are very
