He claims to have been in the Unitea States for two and a half months, stopping in a large northern city, which place ho will not name. There he went about freely, but mostly by carriage. Attorney General Crawford positively denies that any agreement has been made with Taylor by the judge or governor as to tho length of his sentence or a pardon Judge Gaily, who will pronounce sentence, will not

The state authorities hud no idea ot his whereabouts, and the detectives who have been trying to iind his trail since his disappearance had practically given up the task. He has, however, good friends, here, and they succeeded in making a compromise under which the bondsmen were released aud a minimum sentence was promised. Then he came back. During liis journey hither Taylor peremptorily refund to talk to newspapermen, and tho loilowing interview is the only one ho htu given up or will. He said in part: liueu IToro for Three Mouths. "You will be surprised to know that I have been in the country for the past three months, living openly and free and enjoying myself as well as one could who knew that there was a price set upon his head. 1 left the country earlier than many suppose. I did not make up my mind it would bo impossible for 1110 to settle until tho day before Christmas. I then consulted my friends, and 011 their advice decided to place all my property in trust to protoct my bondsmon and concealed myself. On Jan. 3 I left Chicago and went to Tampa, from which place I sailed for Havana by way lvey West. There, after a few days, 1 sailed for Vera Cruz. I did not go to the City of Mexico. 1 bought a ticket for that place in order to throw the detectives oil' the track, and evidently succeeded admirably, for I understand that they havo repeatedly reported that I was in Mexico. From Vera Cruz I sailed south along tho oast coast to the Isthmus of Tehauntopec, which I crossed aud sailed up tho west coast. Changing steamers I spent tho next week sailing down past the coast of Guatemala, Nicaragua and Costa Kica. I had intended to go to Panama, but foared that the detectives might run across me there and so stopped at Punta Arenas, and the following month I spent in Costa Kioa, mostly in San Jose. At Jamaica 1 purchased a ticket for Barbadoes in order to delude the detectives, and then sailed for .this country aud went to ono of the large northern citlea, whore I havo lived for tho past throo months and wliero could havo remained indefinitely without fear of discovery.
Itenult of the Punic.
"Until the day before Christmas I had no more notion of taking tho stato's money than you have. Tho catastropho was the result of the panic. In good times it would not have occurred. It is entirely untrue that my predocossor in tho treasurership was short. Mr. Smith made his settlement with 1110 in full. But when he did so ho exacted a promise from me that 1 would let him have some largo deposits afterward, anil in pursuance of that promise I was caught for $7,200 in his lailure. Tho loan was amply secured, however, and the state will got the sum in full. Nor is it true that I would havo proved a defaulter had settlement been demanded of 1110 at tho end of- my Jllrst term.

Speculation as to Wlint Spain Will Do— Might Urg« Old Claims Against Us.
Washington, Juno '-'0.—Tho first reports as to tho urgency of tho demand made by the United States on Spain for the payment of what is known as the Mora appear to have been ovor statod. The attitude of the United States was stated, without any expression of demand or threat, in a communication from tho state department to Minister Taylor sont some weeks ago before Sonor Muragua, tho then Spanish minister, had left Washington, it is suid to have mado clear that the departments note was due to instructions from congress, and that it was desirable to have such respotiso as would permit a communication to congress when it reconvened In December.
No Threat Was Made.
The note was couchi'd in courteous terms usual In doaling between friendly powers, and was such as to give full execution to tho instructions of congress and yet leave Spain to take such action as soemed to her consltent. Tho fact that Spain still has a minister in Washington, indicates that there have boon no threats of possible consequences, such as havo been suggested, as suoh expressions, either in tho original noto or in any subsequent communications to tn Spanish government, whould have given a cause which govern men ts are in tho habit of following by a withdrawal of their minister.
Mora'* Clalui Unpopular in Spain.
So far as the action of tho Spanish gov
Had the state called for a sottlo- eminent is concerned, it is not known
here what, If any, action has been iken by the cortes, but it is doubted whu. iier anything has been or will bo done in tho brief time before tho cortes adjourns two weeks lionco. The Mora claim is said to bo very unpopular iu Spain und tho Spanish minister of foreign affairs who agreed on a settlement was compelled to leave the cabinet. The only action ever taken by the cortes was in lssti, when a committee reported that if the claim was paid tho United States should sottlo nt the same several largo claims which Spain holds against the United States. Tho ro port of the committee was nevor acted on
Spain liaa a Couple of Claims, Too.
In view of tho report that any settlement by Spain should bo aooompanied by a settlement by the United States, it Is believed that if the United States insisted upon the settlement of the Mora olaim Spain will urge two largo olalms which have long stood ln abeyance. One of these covers tho damage done to Spanish shipping during the civil war. It is said that tho United States has reimbursed othor foreign countries, but, thus far has failed to respond to Spain. Another claim Is based on tho occupancy of Florida by General Jackson at a time when lt was Spanish territory.
