Beclares That He Conld Com- plT tritli to COUIB To TTCO Solid Sltotji Were Tired at the Schooner Crric A. Quick, tjf Am soho'ini'r Carro A. Lane, upon his arriv.il hcri- nijrht had a r-ale to toll about: a thrilling- encounter in Cuban w.ilori with a Spanish pun boat. Two shots svoro at the Lane by the man-of-war, and one of the s.hooa- rr's crew narrowly escaped killed by one of them. Tho vessel was madi? to heave to and give an account of herself before being illowed to proccr-d.

The was off Port Antonio, and making good time before a stiff breeze, when on the I iiist. she siphtcd a steamer flying the Spanish fl.ig following her. Captain Quiuk at first paid no attention to the stranger, but after an hour or so noticed that she was signalling him 1 to stop. Ho then examined her more closely, but could only make out that she looked like a larfre tufrboat, such as is usually to be found in the harbors about Philadelphia, Xuw York and other Amer- seaports. While ho was a i up his mind what course to pursue a puff of smoke curled up over the steamer's port bow and a round shot whistled uncomfortably close tb the schooner's mainmast and pluugud into the water on the other quarter.

Captain Quick gave the order to haul in sail and vessel to, and i this being done one of the crew ran out on the bowsprit to take in sail. As he stood there tho fcun on the Spanish warship boomed again, and another shot sped on its way toward the American craft, this time coming close to her that the sailor on the i swears he distinctly felt the wind caused by its rapid flight. The Lane soon camo to a di'ad stop, and tho guuboat drjw up under her a A boat was lowered, and four Spanish marines, under the command of a lieutenant in the Spanish navy, came aboard. They were armed, and their leader very civilly lifted his cap and demanded to know from what port tho Lane had sailed and whither she was bound. Captain Quick gave required information and produced his clearance papers in proof of his assertions.

Xo further search was tt.ado, and tho vessel was permitted to continue on her course without further jnolostat ion. Captain Quick says that he could not gpt tjip iinmo of the gunboat, although he tried to do so lie i that the Lane must have mistaken for a filibustering craft, but Insists that there Is nothing -in her appearance to i this belief. AS I AT WASHINGTON. If si Solid Shot Fired tho Case May 23 --Tho government officials hero have received no information in regard to the firing on tho schooner A. Lixno by n.

Spanish war vessel off Port Antonio. Tha general opinion of naval officers who rend tho report of tho affjur, as described by Captain Quick, is that tho Spaniard did not exceed his authority in overhauling the schooner if the latter was in f.ho territorial waters of Cuba. Tho Spanish government has right to overhaul and learn the character of any vessels within tha throa mile limit that might bo of having on boaru tftose ensc'ruumiig designs against the government- or n.

CHEYEXSE, July Richards received a telegram last evening from the assistant secretary of the interior, notifying him that Brigadier General Coppinger liad been ordered to proceed at once to the scene of the Indian troubles, and orders such movement of as may be necessary to prevent a conflict between the Indians and settlers.

Later the governor was advised by General Coppinger that four troops of cavalry had been ordered from Fort Robinson, to proceed to the Jackson Hole country to protect tho settlers. As it will require at least two or three days to reach Jackson Hole with these troops, a battle between whites and Indians may be fought before they can be of service. Adjutant General Stitzer, of the state militia, wired yesterday morning from Market Lake-, Idaho, as follows: "I met an Indian captain of police in Teton Basin yesterday, with thirty-five horses, hurrying out with all possible speed. I saw him again at 11 o'clock lasc uighfc. He says he cannot control the Indians, vrho will fight as iiooa today." There are in lha Jackson Hole settlement siity-nve men capable of bearing arms, thirty-five women and forty children.

All of these are gathered at the settlement of between Grcsventre and Little Grosvc-ntre rivers. It is possible that reinforcements from settlements east, on th-j headwaters of Big Wind river, and from cheOilormons to the south have tn-m in response to couriers sent out during the vreek asking for aid. It is estimated by the state authorities that ao less than 200 Indians are surrounding the settlement. If the whites have ammunition it confidently oxpjcltfd they can sraud oS the Indians until troo-js coins to their aid. The AVer.VcrV Strike in Fliila-ldpiiia.

A.S to the bones, he said, they were not those of Gertrude Conner, Minnie "Williams, or any of the other persons whom he was charged with having murdered. "The police simply don't know what thej-'re taking about," ho continued, "when they I murdered so many persons and buried their bones indiscriminately in every nook and corner I could find tho country.

"Quirr a while ago I made a statement to the Philadelphia authorities that they were liable to find a a bones in many different places all over the continent.

Several ribs were found, and with them what resembled a bit of jaw, with two teeth attached- Late in the afternoon Chief Badenoch pronounced the bones to be those of a child from (J to 10 years old. The surmise is that the skeleton is that of Mrs. Conner's little daughter Gertrude. A portion of a lady's jacket, with a large puff sleeve, lay with the bones, and on the cloth -was a bunch of hair, wiich, however, was so badly discolored that its original shade could not be determined. The find was mysterious, as neither the skull nor any of Che leg bones were found with the ribs and bk of vertebra.

A small phial, containing a peculiar looking fluid, was found with the skeleton, but its nature could noc be determined without tests, and it was accordingly sent to a chemist far examination.

It is upon this theory that he will -work here, and although he does not admit it, he evidently has some important information which ha is not yet willing to make public. The theory of the shipment of the boy's body from here in a trunk he says is not tenable, as he ran it down and found that the shipped from here to Detroit contained only the clothing of the Pitezel girls.

Soon after hearing the shots I heard four explosions of dynamite, and then all was still, and soon tha train pulled out for Stryker.
