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 It is quite certain the Greek army will not be withdrawn.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. P o w e r* M ay C o m e to B low *. 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. F R I D A Y , M A U G II ZACATECAS M IN E 3, 1897.

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. S P A N IS H O P IN IO N OF LEE. M arqul* d e P a lm e r o la M ade a S c a n d a l­ o u s A tta c k o n C on su l Lee. 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 the government here. K IL L E D T e rrib le BY IN C H E S D eath of a F irem an Sound Tug. ou a 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 chinery. Y C xt ln gul fth fld b y t h e K m p l o y e * . New York, March 2.— A fire which broke out in the liig Gould match fac­ tory at Passiac, N.

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.

TH E ALARM Secretary That O ln ey G eneral In III* IS WIDESPREAD D en ies l.e e E m p h a tica lly Ha* H anded K e*ig n a tlon . 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. D ee H a* N ot K ea lgn ed . 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. NO REPLY SENT TO H tate D e p a r t m e n t H a * N e i t h e r LEE. G ranted N o r D e f u s e d H I* D e m a n d * . 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. S a n g u i ll y I* F r e e . Advertising Bills Oollootod Monthly* O NLY H ou «. THREE Passed VOTED NO. I ha In tern ation al r.ronoo B ill. Con. 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.
