SENT TO THE WRECK.
Cadiz. -March 19. -Th? Spanish cruiser Alfonso
XII. which has been cruising In the Mediterra?
nean in sen re i of Hie missing warship Reins Ri -
gente, arrived her? this morning. She found the |
Reina Regento at Bajo Aceitunos, near Coui). j
where she had sunk. Only about eighteen Inches
of her masts ?rere visible above the surface of the
water. The news brought by the AlfOltM XII has
rested a profiling) feeling of sorrow here.
??'rom the best Information obtainable here ?it
?iiis- time, it i* regarded as probable that all on
'ward the R. Un R. ?gente were l>s;. Not a single
survivor has b^en reported as having arrived at
any port, nor lias a single body been found thai
could be Identified as that of one of the officers
<<?: crew Of the lost ship. The Alfonso XII Is tak?
ing divers and diving appliances for the purpose
of removing the bodies from the sunken ship and
examining tiie condition of the vessel with a view
of ascertaining the possibilities of raising her.
Until something further ??heard from the Alfonso
XII nothinz can be definitely known.
Madrid. March IS?The Government has- not t
reived official information regarding the report of
the finding of the erulser Reina Regente, and the
statement that she ha i been found sunk in shal?
low water near th" straits of Gibraltar is discr?d?
itai by the author,lies. All of the Madrid news?
papers, however, publish th- statement that the
Alfonsv. XII discovered the cruiser sunk at Hajo
Aceitunos, with only a tmall portion of her masts
above water.
The Reina P.egente 'eft Tangier en March M,
bourn* for Cadiz, with a crew of 198 men on board,
on that and the two succeeding days there were
terrific storms in that region, and when the Span?
ish war vessel failed to make her port on the 1-th
it was feared that she had met with serious
trouble. <>n Mareh '.? the Eritish ship May fair re?
ported that she had passed th" Heina Regente with
funnels and bridgea pone. laboring heavily against
the heavy ssaa No assistance, however, was
asked for' l>> the war vessel.
Two cruisers wer?? sent out by the Spanish au?
thorities In seirrh of the missing VSSSSl as soon as
1t became eirldenl that the suspicion of disaster
was well rounded.
The Heina H-'C^nte. with the Infanta Isabel and
th- Nueva HNpana. visited New-York during the
naval celebration in MM. She was built by th?j
Thomsons of Clydebank, and was launched in
February. IS**;. "She was a twin-screw protected
cruiser, Z.*) feet long, 2ft feet 7 Inches beam. 19 feet
S ;ti.-hes draught and 4.7"* tons displacement. She
wa? fitted with two Independent horizontal tiipit

MONJV F.MSTS ?N THIS (OI?NTRT
Sioux Falls. S. r>. March 19.?Governor Sheldon If
about to annrmr? that for one year the Importation
of Texas cattle into South Dakota will be forbidden.
It ha? Ion? been th" custom for yearling Texas
cattle to be brought into South Dakota, fed on the
ranges for two ye^rs, and then taken to market.
Sventy-flve thousand cattle have been brought
yearly to this State ?n that way. and have b*en
worth to the State from $x.000.nnn to tlO.Ono.OW. The
reason assigned for the proposed embargo is the
alleged prevalence of pleuro-pneumonia.
Washington, March 19 (Special).?Of course, the
Information telegraphed to Washington to-day to
the effect that the Governor of South Dakota has
forbidden the entrv into that State for a year of
Texas cattle, because of the alleged existence of
pieuro-pneumonia and other contagious diseases
among them. exdt?d surprise among officiais of th"
Department cf Agriculture, and it Is understood
that Secretan1 Morton feels in lignant. The exist?
ence of pleuro-pneumonia among '.eyas cattle Is
?toutly denied by him, and it is representad that the
Department of Agriculture "has numerous agents"
in that State. from which "frequent reports" are re?
ceived. If Governor Sheldon ha? ihsu<J such a
proclamation a? the dispatches Indicate, he probablv
had good reason for m doing, but whether he had or
not. such action will Vx- likely to cause France *n<l
Germany to adhere more firmly than ever to their
recent action In prohibiting the importation of cat?
tle and beef from the Cnited States. If that shall
be the result, the Secretary of Agriculture who
nearly two years ago thought it "safe and Judicious"
to dismiss the force of inspectors employed to pre?
vent the spread of pleuro-pneumonia. and to eradi?
cate that disease, wili be primarily responsible.

London. March H?.?I>?r.l Klniberley, Secretary
of state for Foreign Affaira, to-day peraonally
handed to the Nlcanguan Minister, at ine Por
cign Offl.p. the ultimatum of the British, Govern
ment, demanding reparetlon f?" the expulsion
frr.m Blueflelds of Mr. Hatch, the British consu
lar agent. A copy of the document was cabled to
I the British Minister resident In Nicaragua, Lord
' Klmberley emphatically demanda adequate satis

i settled. anJ that n<> demonstration by a British
I squadron will he n.esarj to enforce the de

Washington, March If.?AI the State Depart?
ment, as well ?us at th- Cabinet meeting to-day,
the Nicaraguan and Veneauetan matten bavi si
sumed* tin lea i over the Alliance In rl lent A
feeling of surprise aid Indignation called oui by
the statement that Croat Britain had stipulated
tint the third commissioner appointed to adjudi?
cate damage.? which she claims from Nicaragua
"should not i?c a citizen of the United sins''
was materially m< dlfl< i later in thi day by assur?
ances said to have been received that Qreat Brit?
ain had made in such stipulation. The report
that a British wanhlpleon its way to Blueflelds
to enforce British demands may call for s ime fur?
ther action on the part of the United States. It is
Kgsrded as particularly fortunate for the inter?
ests of both Nicaragua and the United States
that General Harri m, who was sent to England
tr? endeavor to arrange the Mosquito troubles, has
been in Washington, il- has had several Inter?
viewa on the subject with Secretary Qreaham,
and the fart that he left Washington this morning
and will sail Immediately for Colon is taken hh J
good evidence that he has reached a satisfactory
understanding with the state Department.
The utmost reticence is observed at the
Nicaraguan Legation regarding the report thai
Qreat Britain, through her Minister at Mana?
gua, has submitted her ultimatum to Nicaragua,
which provides for i cash Indemnity of 175,000
to Mr. Hatch and a commission to adjudicate
the damages sustained by other British sub?
jects as a result of the tronhhs in th'- Mosquito
Reservat Ion last year.
General BstTtOS this morning said to a (Jolted
Tress reporter that he had nothing to say n
garding (?reat Britain's ultimatum. He would
not acknowledge that an Ultimatum had \<? n
sent. He simply said that matten wen in such !
a condition that he could not consistently, at
this time, speak about them. Neither he nor
l>r. Ouziran is disposed to -believe that any
serious trouble will result from the preaent com?
plication, hut, further tIwiii that non committal
statement, they were unwllthtg to speak.
Brom all that can be learned here, Great
Britain's attitude in this matter is regarded as
one of great severity. It is said that Mr Hat' h,
who eras expelled from Nicaragua leal .inly, was
not the British Consular agent at Bluett. Ids It Is
authoritatively stated that be had received no
exequatur from trie .N'tcuraeuan ?i<>verruner.t.
and was not recognised In any official capacity.
lie was a merchant at Blueflelds, and is repre?
sented as having been active in fomenting the .
troubles in the Mosquito Reaervatlon between
the Indians and th<- Nicaraguan Government
He was expelled for this reason, nnd with lu m
went a number of other foreigner??, evoral o?
whom were Am' roans.
The United States, so far a- .an r> learned,
made no complaint of the expulsion ,.j ita ?wn
citizens, believing that they merited the punish
ment they received Apparently the British
Government is not disposed to take that
of the matter, so far at least as Mr Hatch is
concerned. It is said here that Mr. Hatch wai
fortunate to escape so easily. There are i
In Washington familiar with the occurrences in
the Mosquito Reaervatlon who believe that Mr
Hatch should have been hanged for hi-? com
pllclty In the revolution, and If Is for this rea?
son that great surpris- la expressed at th.- radi?
cal position taken by the Priiish Government
with reference to him.
The Nica rag na n content lona as to Mr. Hatch
are strongly controverted by those who are fa?
miliar with Great Britain's side of the case, it
Is asserted that Mr. Hatch was ,-, regular!) ?<
credited official of the English Government an 1
that his rank at Blueflelds was that of pro
Consul. It is emphatically denied that h" was
the moving spirit in th>* troubles of last summer
On the contrary, his whole coiirsi . u Is said, was
one of conciliation, and so fa:' as hif Influence
went, it was used to promote harmony. A vo|.
umlnous mass of testimony was taken by the
British Government with reaped in these
troubles, and the Government are entirely satli
fled that Nicaragua acted hastily in expelling
Mr. Match, and that no substantial grounds ? it
ist for having done so. It is for this reason that
General Barrlos's re ent mission to London
proved abortive. i;reat Britain, it 1? undei
stood, will Insist upon a proper Indemnity being
paid to Mr. llafli, the more especially a
Americans who wen expelled at the same tlm?
have been permitted to return to Nicaragua and
resume th'dr trade relations. Tin- report thai
the T'nited states will tx debarred from pai
tbipatlon in any arbitration of these troubles is
discredited. Such a course, It is argued, wood
be most undiplomatic ami Insulting t i a friendly
Power, it is believed that the suggestion that
Great Britain will oppose the selection of any
American as one of the arbitrators originates
with certain persons in Nicaragua, wh i hope by
disseminating such reports to create an un?
friendly sentiment In the United States against
Great Britain.
Proper precautions have been taken in regard
to the Venezuelan situation. Admiral Meade'a
Beet Is distributed not far from Mi" Venezuelan
eoast. it Is noted that the roaiing statt m for
American ?bips has been changed from Colon to
?'?a-'thagena, which Is twenty-four hours' nearer
to Venezuelan territory than Colon. The Navy
Department has Information that Bran." is
about to send a eruis.-r !?? Venezuela, ostensibly
for the purpose of taking away the Fn rich Min?
ister to that country, who was recently requested
to withdraw, ami Germany iv also COnt< mplatlng
the dispatch of warships to . nf ?r ?? the pa) rrw m
of a guarantee t., the German builders of ihe
Central Veneauelan Railroad. The reported in?
tention nf Oreat Jlritaln, with reference to it*
claims on Venesielan territory, have not bei n
overlooked by this Government, and if British
Kr-nch and German warships appea at Venez?
uelan ports they will probably find some ..f Ad?

DBSTRABLB IN WAStUNOTON,
Washington. March 19.?intimations have
leen made lu generally well-Informed circles
for some days past to th.- effect that Mr. Thurs
toii. the Hawaiian Minister, has not been alto?
gether persona grata t.. tin- rulincr authorities
In Washington, but so guarded have these stig
gesttons been, and so reticent are ail prominent
officials who have bees spoken to on the subject,
thai no basis for s public aase rt ton of them
COUld be obtained from any proper authority.
That the relations between the repr?sentative
of Hawaii and the Secretary of state have
seemed somewhat strained of late appeared evi?
dent to i hose who have sisen close attention
to that phase <if the situation: but even thin
had not taken a shape to Warrant " positive as?
sertion ns coming from unquestionable author?
ity that tbe official presence of Minister Tburs
ton was no longer desirable in Washington.
VarlottS circumstances, however, appear now
to have concentrated to an extent which Justi?
fies the almost positive assertion that represen?
tations have be..? made t<> the Hawaiian Gov?
ernment that friendly relations between It and
the United State? would be better served by
th.- recall of Mr. Thuraton than otherwise. The
date of such Suggestions is not definitely known,
but It may be mentioned that the matter was
considered by the President and Mr. Gresham,
as well as brought up in full Cabinet, before
the adj..uniment of Congress, When the particu?
lar reasons were considered why objection Is
made to the continuance bei.f the present
Minister from the new Republic. Positive pub
lb- official utterance on the matter ,,f this Gov?
ernment's re.?nest for Mr. ThurstOUe recall is
not forthcoming at this moment, but enough is
known to justify the assertion that the rSQjuesI
has 1.n made, and the impression is prevalent
that a correspondence between the Department
and the Minister actuated tin- demand and
hastens s request for its early compliance.
While consistent with the reticence maintained
ai the State Department in this matter, no public
reference to tbe can-'s of the unpleasant charac?
ter of th. relations between Government officials
and the Minister can be evolved some people ex
preas the opinion mat several frank and em?
phatic remarks, from time to lime dropped l,\
the Hawaiian Minister hi.ve not been regarded
as strictly within the line of dignified propriety,
an.', this opinion goes far in giving a reason for
the action of the Department.
Minister Thurel n. when ask.-d for Information
regarding th.. >.t<>ry m circulation to-night, said:
?I am sorry that i ? annot "?dige y, u, but I have
nothing to say directly or Indirectly."

Polloe, four captains, three ex-captalns and three

hea.led the list, and against him had been found
live Indictments, all charging him with receiving
brilies when he was a < aptain in command of the
Plrst Prednct. C?ptala Michael J. Murphy is In?
di-ted on the charges <>f receiving a bribe and
protecting a concert hall when he wag in com?

INSPECTOR W. MLAUOHLIW.

that they nal tried to extort money from him hy
threatening to accuse him of renting flau for Im?

John T Btepbmsow and William i, Deverjr,
who were dismissed from the force last summer,
and Edward Carpenter, who retired in ISO-.?, were
Indicted for receiving bribes when they were cap?

WHY W VSN T WILLIAMS INDICTED?
The failure of the Orand Jurv to indict P dice
Inspect r Alexander S. William? surprised many
persons In this . 11 v. and was the subject >>f much
tajk about town yeeterdsy. Direct and eapNelt
charges that Williams had received bribes both
uhen he w.t- i captain of police and after he
had been promoted to the rank of Inspector
were made in the testimony before the Lexow
Committee. In view ol such testimony, and of
the reports that the Orand Jury had examined
BOOM Of the \sitnt-sses wh ? had testified again?t
Williams, many guesses wer-' made y-sterday
ab..tit the reasons that had Induced the Jurors
to make an exception "t the man trunos name
has been used ? i ?^ften and so prominently fn
connection with pottos corruption.
It was remembered thrt in their presentment
the Jurors had d clared that they had bean care?
ful to reject testimony where there was a d-.ubt
of its trustworthiness, and thai the presentment
also contained the significant statement "that
?ilrect and positive evidence has been drawn out
before us in a great many casca, showing the
giving and the a. opting ,.f brib. a, upon which
we are as y?* unible t?> take action."
The fact that Daniel ?;. Hollina has been one
of the special counsel f >r the Crand Jury was
spoken "f yesterday by a number of persona
who talked about the apparent escape .>f Will?
iams from indictment. Mr. Rollins was the As?
sistant District-Attorn > Who represented the
people as prosecutor When Williams was tried
before Judge Oildersteeve, la the court of Qes>
??rai Sessions, on November Ml 18TB. on an in?
dictment .barging him with an assault upon
Charles W Smith m Madig m square. The trial
..' Williams on tliat occasion WUa brief, and re?
sulted in an acquittal. Mr. Rollins did got sum
up the case fur th< prooecttUon, agreeing with
the COUttSei fot WT'ia its t> waive the summit.g
up After ihe trial of Williams before the Police
Commissioners m i>v7. and before the COiSunts
si..ncrs promoted Williams t.? be an inspector,
Mr. Rollins acted in the capacity of counsel for
Williams.
There Werg reports iboul the Criminal Courts

Wiliianis. but the seep-ts .if the Juryroom were
guarded closely, and in positive information on
the subject could be obtained. There was a re
