Huston, of. the , volunteer . engineers, was questioned today by a press corre spondent on the subject of the story printed by a local newspaper at Cincin nati, saying that the location of the keyboard by which the United States battle-ship Maine was blown ' up in Havana harbor on February 15, 1898, had been found by him in a gunroom of the Foerza prison, while engaged in cleaning out the fortifications. The captain said the use of his name in this connection was not authorized. He showed the correspondent a oable with several wires running into the harbor from Foerza prison, opposite Cabanas fortress. One wire was connected with a disused telegraph instrument in a neighboring government ' building. Though the oable has not been investi gated by the United States engineeis, the supposition is that it runs to Ca banas, across the harbor, and has been used for telegraphing. There is a re mote chance that the wires in the cable were connected with mines or torpedos, but there is no indication that it had anything to do with the . blowing up of the Maine. . The end of the cable sticking out of Foerza prison has been seen by tourists for weeks past. Many soldiers have also seen the cable, and many have expressed the belief that it was used to blow up the Maine. ' . PAPER MONEY SCARCE.

"The chief reason for the growing demand for paper money is unquestion ably the increase in the general volume of business. There has been no re duction in the amount of paper money which of itself would . cause scarcity. The situation in reference to bills is brought about by the Increased demand and not by a decrease in the supply. ' "The amount of paper money in cir culation March 1, 1899, is much gi eat er than it was one year ago. While the decrease in circulation in the amount of gold certificates is $3,475, 950, in treasury notes, $4,269,971, and currency ' certificates $25,825,000, the circulation of silver certificates has in creased in the sum of $16,113,278, and United States notes $44,141,212, mak ing the " total, net increase of govern ment paper in circulation $27,195,569, which, added to the increase of $18, 155,825 in national bank circulation, makes the , total increase of paper money in circulation over one year ago, $45,050,904." - .

The reports contained in newspapers just received, here, alleging that dan ger exiBts of an uprising of the natives, are regarded with astonishment, and are absolutely without foundation in fact. . The only disturbances that have occurred here have been - local fights between the American volunteers and the lower classes. The press corre spondent, who has just returned from an extended trip through the island, found only occasional evidences of dis satisfaction resulting from brawls, and local politics, and the American officers now here ridicule the idea of an up rising of the natives, who, they Bay, are without weapons, and are entirely lacking in organization.

The Brit ish ambassador, Sir Julian Pauncefote, conferred today with Secretary Hay in reference, it is understood, to a modus -vivendi to be observed along the Alaska border in order to obviate the possi bility of a clash, pending the final de limitation of the border. The need of this has been emphasized within the last few days by reports of a battle between the Canadian and the American prospectors on the Proonpine river. . These reports have caused con siderable uneasiness in official circles in London, and efforts have been made . to learn the facta. There has been no official information, however, either here or in London. Just such a clash has been expected, and the reports have served to direct the attention of officials of the need of effecting a border ar rangement. The preliminary move in this direction was made as soon as the Anglo-American commission adjourned without settling the border question. Sir Julian then suggested that a tem porary arrangement be made. This would maintain the status quo, each side making no further advance pencil ing a final agreement on the boundary, i A . temporary line probably will be run by the two governments. This would not affect permanent interests, but would serve as a legal barrier be tween the lawless fortune-seekers in that locality. The plan is favorably received on both sides, and is likely to be carried into effect, although no agreement has been entered into thus far.' : .. .;. : .. - , . . ' Some important statements concern ing the boundary line situation are given in official correspondence now on file in the state and interior depart ments, whioh has nevei been made public. ..' Governor. Brady, of Alaska, as long ago as the latter part of February called attention to the extremely threatening condition of affairs. February 21, Governor Brady, who was here, had a oonferenoe with both Seoretary Bliss, who was then just leaving the cabinet, and Secretary Hay, in whioh he urged that the aggressive acts ' of the Cana dians should be promptly met. A FATHER'S TERRIBLE CRIME 4 Killed His Five Children and Attempt ed to Cremate the Remains, Hutohinson, Kan., March 22. An . atrocious crime was revealed here to- . day when the coroner and his assist ants removed the dead bodies of five little children from the house occupied by John Moore, which tburned at an early hour. A coroner's jury investi gated the case, and, in accordance with the jury's recommendatio'n, Moore, the father of the dead children, was arrest ed on a charge of murder. 1 When the firemen and neighbors reached the burning house, the father was the only member of the family of seven found outside. His actions were queer, and he would not talk. While the building was still burning and his children within the burning walls, he took a horse from his stable and rode ' away. When the firemen entered the house," after having partly quenched the flames, they found the five chil dren, lying side by side, in a. bed on . the floor,- all dead, but not badly burned. . The coroner's autopsy held this af ternoon developed convincing evidence, of an awful crime. The skull of eaoh child was deeply indented, and from the dents long fractures extended. All but one of the children had - been Btabbed in the neck. The throat of the little 8-year-old, a boy, f had been -slashed so deep that the spinal column had been severed. It was upon thesO facts and the strange behavior of the father, that the authorities base their ' charge of murder. When Moore was called before the coroner's jury to testify, he pretended to believe that an exploding lamp had oaused the fire, and that his children had met death in the flames. He testi fied that he was awakened from a deep sleep by the smoke, and he found the house afire all over. It was 15 min utes, he said, before he recovered his senses, and then he did not try to save the children, because he knew that they must be dead, as the fire had started in the room in which they were sleeping. His riding away from the fire he explained by stating that bis wife was away from home attending a sick lriend, and that he went to tell her of their loss. Moore showed little conoern when the jury returned the verdict charging him with mnrdor. - Soudan Expedition in the Fsli. London, March 21.
