The
Spanish Minister's
View.
Senor Don Emilio de OJeda, the Spanish
minister here, who represented his govern¬
ment at Morocco for several years, and who
is personally acquainted with Mr. Ion Perdlcaris, the American held for ransom by
Rasouli, has made the following statement
regarding the situation at Tangier:
"Spain does not entertain the slightest
fear that the United States seeks to seize
a port In Morocco. I know that recent re¬
ports coupled the sailing of a Spanish fleet
for Tangier with the statement that the
American desire for a port on the west
coast of Morocco caused uneasiness. Spain
naturally is opposed to any power taking a
stronger position than herself In Morocco,
which is Just across the Strait of Gibraltar,
and where, wlthlhe exception of the Moors,
nearly all the people and business interests
are Spanish. We regard Morocco much as
you do the West Indies or Central America.
You are opposed to any powerful nation
taking a strong position close to
bor¬
ders. The Spanish fleet has goneyour
to Mo¬
rocco merely to protect our interests from
harm they would otherwise sufTer In the
event of an outburst of fanaticism or revo¬
lution.
"I fear for Mr. Perdlcaris, for he is old
and feeble, and confinement in a hut in the
mountains, where the climate Is exceedingly
warm, will tell upon him. The situation Is
a delicate one. I think the
only way to ob¬
tain the release of the captives
Is to comply
with the demands of the
bandits.
Any other
method is
dangerous."
Regarded Here as a Jest.
The rumor which is agitating certain Blu-
ropean newspapers to the effect that the
United States government Intends to per¬
manently possess itself of a coaling sta¬
tion on the Moroccan coast, as an incident
to the settlement of the
affair,
is regarded officially here Perdlcaris
as a jest; there
never was and is not now the
slightest in¬
tention on the part of this
of
making any such demands. government
It
Moreover,
is stated, that it is not
contemplated by
this government to seize, even
temporarily,
any Moroccan port and custom
house in
connection with the Perdlcaris case. Nat¬
urally at this stage the officials do not
care to bluster and threaten, but th^y are
prevented from publishing the quiet and
sober project Which they have formed
for
the treatment of this subject until it has
diflnitely ascertained just what the Sultan
of Morocco intends to do. Unofficially the
State Department learned that the sultan
had made some sort of a response to the
bandit Ralsouli's first extreme demands,
but whether or not the Moorish government
will finally »i?cede to the demands is not
Known.
VETERAN
FIREMEN.
Discussion of Date for Celebration.
Monument to Dead Firemen.
The Veteran Firemen's Association met
last evening at Its hall In the old Union
Engine Mouse, corner of lltth and H streets.
,' Mr. James II. Richards presided, with Mr.
J. J Peabody secretary, and there was a
fair attendance.
* Letters were received from
Representa¬
tive M. C. Benton of Missouri, N. McLeod
of Elizabeth, N. J., and E. E. Downham of
Alexandria, Va., indorsing the project for
a monument to the deceased heroes among
the volunteer firemen of the United States.
The invitation to attend the annual con¬
vention of the Virginia State Firemen's
Association at Alexandria, Va., August 17,
18 and IS), was received and accepted, and
the arrangements therefor will be made
at the July meeting.
Mr. Peabody from the committee on the
centennial of the organization of the first
tire company in Washington, which occurs
August 18 next, suggested that as the
weather will be warm at that season and
mar.y are likely to be away from the city.
It would be better to postpone the celebra¬
tion until October. The first company, he
Haid, had an existence of only a few years
and one organized in October a life of sixty
years. He read a list of all these com¬
panies, as follows:
First fire ward, 18tv| to 1818, at West

J. Morgan Smith, brother-in-law to Mis.

with Assistant District Attorney Garvan

that for him to answer might tend to In¬

A dispatch from Denver last night says:
While the Victor miners' union has de¬
nounced the dynamite outrage of yesterday,
and the convention of the Western Federa¬
tion of Miners, in session here, has express¬
ed indignation over it, and talks of offering
a reward for the perpetrators, damaging
evidence of the guilt of union men is being

books and records of the union were search¬
ed when the hall was raided yesterday, and
among the archives was a quantity of pho¬
tographs of non-union men who havfe been
employed in the mines of the district since
the strike began last fall. Some of these
photographs are peculiarly marked, and
these are of the men who were dynamited
yesterday, many who were shot or bea'en
at various times and a large number who
have disappeared.
It has developed that nearly half of the
miners now at work in the district are
union men who have deceived the mine
owners, and these men, whose names were
gathered from the union's books seized at
Victor, will not only lose their employment,
but will be deported from the district if the
mine owners and Citizens' Alliance have
their way. It will require vigorous action
by the authorities to prevent bloody (Hashes
not only tonight and tomorrow, but In the
more distant future as the foul plots for
murder and other outrages are unearthed
and their participants brought to light by
the searching investigation now under way.
Gov. Peabody Returns to Colorado.
A dispatch from St. Louis last night says:
Gov. James H. Peabody of Colorado left for
Colorado today at 2:15 p.m. over the Bur¬
lington road. Up to the time of his de¬
parture Gov. Peabody received numerous
telegrams from the Colorado authorities
apprising him of the situation in the dis¬
turbed districts. 0
A dispatch from Harrisburg. Pa., last
night says: A conference to* determine
whether the senatorial vacancy created by
Senator Quay's death shall be filled by
appointment or by an extra session of the
legislature was held tonight at the ex¬
ecutive mansion between Gov. Pennypacker, United States Senator Penrose and
Insurance Commissioner Durham, who con¬
trol the situation.
The governor spent several hours today
examining the law on the subject, and It
is thought he reached a decision and will
announce it in the near future. The opin¬
ion still prevails here that an extra ses¬
sion of the new legislature will be held
next December for the election of a Sen¬
ator, and that the governor is in perfect
accord with the republican state leaders.
Those who profess to know the gov¬
ernor's plans say that he prefers to make
an appointment for the remainder of Sen¬
ator Quay's term, which expires next
March, but that lie believes under the
state constitution it is mandatory on him
to call an extra session before the meet¬
ing of the next legislature, which will con¬
vene in biennial session in January.
Gray
Men Win in Delaware.
A dispatch from Dover, Del., last night
says: The democratic state convention late
this afternoon indorsed Federal Judge Geo.
Gray for the presidency and instructed the
six national delegates to support him. This
was brought about by the Gray followers,
despite- the announcement that the judge
had written a letter to ex-Judge David T.
Marvel of Wilmington, asking that the in¬
struction of delegates in his favor be with¬
held in the interest of party harmony and
as he has no ambition for the presidency.
The anti-Gray forces fought for the sub¬
stitution of the word "request," and it was
believed at last night's conferences between
the factions that they had carried the day.
but this afternoon the committee on reso¬
lutions by a vote of 8 to 7 adopted a reso¬
lution of specific instructions and the con¬
vention upheld this action.
The platform denounces the administra¬
tion of Roosevelt, criticises the tariff, and
wants the growing militarism of our gov¬
ernment checked.
The money issue is
avoided.
