Spanish cruiser Conde de Venandita fires on Alliance near Cuba
Havana reports identify the fireproofing cruiser Conde de Venandita as the ship that fired on the American steamer Alliance off Cuba’s eastern coast. The commander says shots were meant to force a stop while the steamer, flying English colors, pressed toward Mass Point. The incident prompted a high level inquiry and notes that the Alliance carried 24,000 rifles and landed men on the island’s eastern side after the attack.

Secretary Gresham Reports No Word From Spain On Allianca Affair
Wasaixatos March 19. The state department has not heard from United States Minister Taylor or Consul General Williams at Havana about the identity of the Saas cruiser that fired on the Alliance. The press dispatches show the Conde de Venandito as the offender, though the captain’s claim says the vessel bore the British flag. The issue may drag in defense of a flag as details from officers and crew are awaited. The Spanish cabinet has resigned, complicating any speedy reply while internal conflicts distract Madrid.
