yz GEN. LEE ONGE MORE GOt 1S 10 GBH ~ REVIEW OF MEN. Soldiers Have Embarked in Transports and are Prepared to Take Possession of the Island. The Major General's Staff. The movement of American troops t the city of Havana began Wednesday. On that day Major General Fitzhugh l.ee, commanding the Seventh army corps, and his staff - left Savannah. This should put them in Havana not later than Saturday. General Lee and his staff departed in the transport Pa- nama. Those of his staff who accompany the major general are: Lieutenant Col- onel J. H. Dorst, assistant adjutant general; Lieutenant Colonel George I. Pond, chief quartermaster; Lieutenant Colonel O. V. Wood, chief commissary of subsistence; Lieutenant Colonel. L. M. Maus, chief surgeon: Lieutenant Colonel Curtis Guild, Jr., inspector general; Lieutenant Colonel J. C. Rib- ble, judge advocate; Lieutenant Colo- nel J. E. Maxfield, chief signal officer; Lieutenant W. R. Lawrence, chief en- gineer officer; Lieutenant Colonel Rog- ers Birnie, Jr., chief ordnance officer Lieutenant Sartoris, General I.ee's aide will go with him, as will Major Michie, assistant adjutant general. Major Russell Harrison, provost marshal; will also accompany him. The troops of the Second division of the corps and the hospital force of the corps, together with the signal corps, departed from Savannah on the trank- ports Mobile, Michigan and Roumania. The Two Hundred and Second New York regiment, United States volun- teers, left on the transport Minnewas- ka for Pinar del Rio. General Lee ordered a general review of all the troops in the vicinity of the city of Savannah last Tuesday after- rioon. There were nearly 17,000 men in line. The Cubans and Spaniards will not mingle in Havana and until the latter are removed the Cubans can never hope to make a record for themselves favorable to self-government. There are numerous reports of col- lisions and minor disturbances between Spaniards and Cubans all over the is- land. which, although of no great sig- nificance, show the ill feeling which exists and will continue to exist. Iver since the wrecking of the print- ing office at Guines last week by the Spanish garrison, because the proprie- tor had published an article entitled, “Adieu,” disorders there¢c have been of daily occurrence. The Spaniards pa- trol the streets at night, attacking all unprotected citizens whom they find out after 9 o'clock and spreading alarm and consternation. Senor Jose Bolado, the Mayor of Guines, who protested, was badly beaten and cut in the hand. Thursday night General Castellanos telegraphed the military commander of Guines that he would hold him di- rectly responsible for the disturbances and insisted upon immediate steps be- ing taken to prevent their continuance. Several officers of the Barbastro regi- ment avere arrested as ringleaders. On their way to Havana the Cuban renerals Lacret and Rego occupied the same car with four Spanish officers When they reached Jovellanos, Man- tanzas Province, the Spaniards, on learning who their fellow-passengers were, insulted them and divested them of their insignia and machetes. A tu- mult ensued and the crowd at the rail- way station, in which were Spaniards and Cubans, joined in the fracas. Two shots were fired, though no one was hit. Order was finally restored by a display of force, the Spaniards re- turning to the train and the Cuban of- ficers remaining at Jovellanos, where they had been expected. The Spanish mail steamer Villaverde with Marshal Blancd, the former Cap- tain General of Cuba, and his suite on board, left Havana last Thursday. The departure of Marshal Blanco was not accompanied by the pomp and cere- mony marking similar events in prev- ious years. Would Rule Out the Girls. A mass meeting of undergraduate students was held at Wesleyan univer- sity at Middletown, Conn., a few days ago, to protest against the system of ¢o-education now in vogue at the col- lege. It was maintained that the ex- clusion of women from the college would be to the best interests of the university, and that if the policy of admitting women is continued it will have the effect of greatly reducing the number of male students. CABLE FLASHE Ss Kaiser William is now talking of visiting England and possibly Ireland. There was a large meeting held in Paris last Saturday favoring a revision -of the Dreyfus case. A new magazine devoted to the vic- tims of gout and rheumatism has just been published at Paris.

The forward march of the United ~$Stetes dni. acquiring new territory re- gardless of the opinion of other na- tions, is astonishing the Germans. Trouble has arisen in Africa between Germany and the Congo Free State relative to the respective boundaries of German and Congo territory north of Lake Tanganika. Germans are intensely bitter against the Austrian premier for threatening reprisals for the expulsion of Austrians and have issued a note of warning. Some papers think the triple alliance’s existence threatened. ‘The Duchess of Marlborough (Cen- .. suelo: Vanderbilt) will officiate at the launching of the new British battleship Irresistible. As at the launching of "the Formidable the American flag will float alongside the Union Jack on the official stand. The. marriage of Miss Pauline Astor to the Duke of Roxburghe, which now almost seems assured, will probably be one of the most brilliant social events in Great Britain. The families of both the American heiress and the peer seem to be pleased with it. It is believed Don Carlos, the pre- tender to the Spanish throne, will scon make an attempt to seize it. His emissaries are now at work attempting to suborn the Spanish army, which 1s dissatisfied because its pay is in ar- rears, and it was given no chance to prove its worth in the late war. Trieste and the district in Austria roundabout was flooded on Sunday by a tremendous tidal wave, which did much damage to property and ships and caused the loss of many lives. There was a violent earthquake throughout the Southern provinces of Austria. From various causes no fewer than 28 lives were lost. { tenced to 30 days’ NEWS ITEMS.

The $20,000,000 Indemnity Received From the United States for the Philippines May be Utilized. not the the an- the will The Spanish government has reached a full decision regarding Cuban and Philippine debts, but Official Gazette publishes an nouncement that the drawing for redemption of the Cuban bonds occur on December 10. The speculation in the Cuban Philipptne debts on the Bourse has seriously displeased the cabinet. The rise in those securities is attributed to the report that the Governmen will devote the indemnity received from the United States to the Colonial in- debhtedness, regarding which no de- cisive resolutions have been takzn by Ministers. An official and Vis- an- re- The “The dispatch from the ayas Islands, in the Philippines, nounces that the insurgents are doubling thei rattacks upon Iloilo. Government's advices say: rebels have their city and fire on the defense nightly. The troops maintain a spirited fire and have killed a number of the enemy.” Secretary Moore, of the American Peace Commission, said in regard to the treaty the other day: There is no hitch. The delay arises only from the necessity for our considering separate- ly matters which the Spanidrds want to discuss jointly as a part of a sub- stantial treaty. “The Americans wish to discuss the treaty articles as a whole. The Span- fards want the joint commission to agree first to the main articles and matters connectel closely with the protocol and then the American’s final prcposals. They hope in that way to have a freer hand and get better terms for the subsidiary negotiations. “The only difference, in fact, is that the Spaniards want a short treaty, while we desire a longer, a more com- prehensive one: What is now going on in Paris is a negotiation respecting certain objects which the United States government seeks to accomplish in that manner in-. stead of resorting to the more usual but more tedious method of correspon- dence between the two governments. These objects are the acquisition of one of the Caroline islands as a cable station and coaling station; of certain rights to land cables on Spanish posessions at other points; the procure- ment of freedom of religious worship in the Carolines, and the revival of cer- tain treaties of trade and commerce, etc. These are purely subjects of diplo- matic negotiation and do not in any way affect the conclusion of the peace treaty. They might all fail to be realized and still the treaty would not be affected. The joint peace commission last Thursday drafted articles of the peace treaty protocol, dealing with the ces- sion of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phi- lippines, upon which the commission- ers agreed in principle. A GOVERNOR INDICITED. Tanner of Illinois Held by the Grand Jury for Neglect of Duty. Gov. Tanner of Illinois has been in- dicted by a grand jury at Virden, Ill, for failing to do his duty during the mine strikes in that city. Against John R. Tanner, governor of Iilinois, there are three counts for pal- pable omission of duty and malfeas- ance in office. Fred W. Lukins, gener- al manager of the Chicago-Virden Coal Company, is charged with man- slaughter on two counts. With Lukins, his deputies—Frank Wilder,” J. “EB. Sickles and J. H: Smith—are indicted for the Killing of Joseph Gitterele, & Mt. Olive mirder. Sixteen Thiel guards are held for riot. In the indictment against Gov. Tan- ner the complaining witnesses are John Graham, William Mitchell, William Gilson, ' Clarence Ross and Charles Stewart, employes of . the Chicago- Virden Coal Company. They ‘testified that they were intimidated and pre- vented from following their 1 timate employment by an armed body of men, numbering 1,000, who unlawfully and feloniously were assembled in Virden; that the governor had been notified by the sheriff of Macoupin county-that no protection was to be had from the county, and was earnestly importuned for state assistance. Judge Shirley fixed Tanner's bond at $500. © Alfonso Receives a Fortune. The young King of Spain has just had a pleasant windfall in the shape of a legacy of 3,060,000 pesetas, bequeath- ed to him by an old gentleman named Soler, who had a close though un- acknowledged relationship to the king, being the natural son of Ferdinand VIII. and great-uncle of King Alfonso. The testator's relatives opposed the wiil, but the Queen Regent; as herson’s next friend, supported it and the suit has now been decided in favor of the king. LARGE DAMAGE SUIT. A Million Dollars Damages Demanded for Secur- ing Concessions in China. Thurlow Weed Barnes has brought suit in the supreme court against the American-China development company for $1,000,000 for services in obtaining railroad concessions frem the imperial Chinese government through the Chi- nese minister at Washington. These concessions are worth in net profits at least $12,000,000 to the company, and they may be worth $24,000,000. They are the most valuable grants ever made by the Chinese government to foreign capitalists and the terms are more favorable than the concessions obtained in recent years by French, Belgian, IEnglish and Russian syndicates, Freren are felons. Deloncle, the former French De- puty, has written a letter to the Temps saying that a body of Frenchmen jealous of maintaining French prestige, has decided to start educational estab- lishments at Khartoum and Fashoda. He adds that most of the funds neces- sary have already been secured, and concludes with pointing out Khartoum and Fashoda are in Egyptian territory. and therefore under the regime of the capitulations, which give France quai privileges with Great Britain. M. Germany Wants the Carotines. A German government official, in an interview confirms the report that Ger- many is negotiating with Spain for the purchase of the Caroline islands. It is understood that Spain expects to get 10,000,000 francs for them, which Ger- many considers excessive. Prince von Arenberg, president of the Colonial society, said the ‘‘Acquisi- tion of the Caroline islands is import- ant less from the standpoint of com- merce, which is insignificant there, than from a naval view point.” Germany also makes the proviso that the negotiations shall be contingent upon no international complications arising, especially with the - United States. : {ing of A guns trained on the | grew. { building I Company, | brown stone » ENDLESS CHAIN LETTER. Money Still Coming in for the Red Cross Ice Fund. The endless chain started in an idle moment by Miss Adelaide Schenk of Babylon, L. I1., is nearing its end. More than 200,000 letters and more than $22,- 00° have been received, although only $1,000 was asked for by the originator, This sum, it was hoped, would start an ice fund for the poor soldiers in Cuba. Winter is here, ice" has become a drug on the market, but the fund still Zrows. : Miss Schenck meant well when she sent out the first ten letters asking for [0 cents each from the recipients and a continuance cf the circle, put she lit- tle Knew what the result would be. In addition to the envelopes contain- ing money there were envelopes con- taining no money, which had been robbed en route, and envelopes di- reeted to the postmaster of Babylon asking about the commercial stand- s Schenck, who is the grand- daughter of Matthew Morgan, -a re- tired New York banker, whose winter home is at No. 284 Lexington avenue. The receipt and answer of those let- ters of inquiry by Postmaster of Babylon netted: the government censiderable revenue. Day by day the mail for Miss Schenck In vain she appealed to the press to stop the flow of silver. The pool of charity was first rippled in July, but the ripples have augmented and are still widening. The letters are still coming in at the rate of 100 a day. Miss Schenck has fled to New York and her grandfather yesterday de clared that neither he nor his charm- ing granddaughter would have any- thing more to do with it. The money has been turned over to the Red Cross society. Some of it was used for the ice fund for the soldiers, the rest has been used in other ways for the relief of the veterans of the Spanish-American war. Miss Annie Smith, during Miss Schenck’s absence, opens the mail that still comes, and the money is being turned over to the Red 1 Cross society. SOLDIER WILL BE SHOT.

Block of Immense Buildings Destroyed in New | York. In a blinding rain storm night, at New York, the massive of buildings on Broadway, Nos. £59, and included between Murray Warren streets, was almost destroyed by fire. Within three hours more than $1,000,000 worth of property was stroyed. The fire began in the story brick building occupied by the men's furnishing firm of Rogers, Peet & Co., on the sq@uthwest corner of Broadway and Warren street.

William T. Stead, after a thorough tour of Europe, sums up the sentiment of the old world toward the new to be that America has been guilty of bald |. hypocrisy and land grabbing in wrest- valauble colonies entered into ing from Spain her under the guise of a war from humanitarian motives. He further offers first-hand evidence that early in the war the powers threatened to forcibly intervene, and that the Amer- ican representative whom their minis- ters approached told them frankly that such action would mean war and that England was with the United States. Severe Storm in Baltimore. The most severe wind and rain storm that has visited Baltimore for many years prevailed Sunday and did thous- ands of dollars damage. Sixty miles an hour is the wind velocity given out by the weather bureau, the highest for 19 years. Fully 800 houses in the city and vicinity were unroofed, chimneys innumerable were blown.down trees uprooted and poles leveled. OUR NEW POSSESSIONS. Seven regiments of regulars have been ordered to San Francisco by the first week of January. They are ex- pected to be sent to Manila. Twelve of Roosevelt's Rough Riders have gone to Cuba. They will pros- pect for gold on Ban Juan Hill, which they believe can be found there in large quantities. It is probable that Spain will be given no special commercial privileges in the new colonies, as this Govern- ment does not wish to arouse the en- mity of other nations. Ex-Chief of Police John McCullagh, of New York, will organize the police force at Havana. The steamer Coptic, which sailed from San Francisco a few days ago, took 500 Chinese away, many of whom were ordered deported by the courts. Many of the Chinese wére wealthy residents who visited their own coun- try to celebrate the New Year. An attempt to break up the annual many of the Eighteenth Ward Re- ublican club at Bricklayer’s hall at ne Tuesday evening resulted in the death of one of the attacking par- ty and the wounding of several of those who participated in the fight.

The annual report of Secretary Alger is a practically official tory of the Spanish-American The secretary has given to the public, not only all the oflicial dispatches that passed directly between his own office and commanding officers in the and camp, of his report the report of Gen. of ail the the campaign in the Philippines. Nowhere is there shown a disposition to criticise, the official dispatches being allowed to tell tneir own story, and generally, the secretary finds much to praise and cause for results obtained. The only exception to this rule is in the reference to the casualties at San- tiago. Some criticism having made that there present, the were 140 surgons in attendance, and that of 1,431 wounded only 13 died of their wounds. Touching the surrender at Santiago, report shows that Shafter de- manded the surrender on the 3d, and renewed this demand on the 4th. Op the morning of the 11th another de- mand was made; On the evening of that day Gen. Miles arrived, and on the 13th and 14th of July he, with Gen. Shafter, met the Spanish commander under a flag of truce to discuss the surrender. On the afternoon 14th Gen. Miles left: Gen. Shafter’s headquarters and soon thereafter went aboard ship preparatory to sailing for Porto Rico. uly 17 Toral surrendered 23,000 men upon our terms and the American flag was hoisted by order of Gen. Shafter.

Under the head of increase permanent estabiishment, the tary says: “In view of the force in the islands occupied by the United States, it is earnestly recom, mended that the regular army be per- manently increased to 100,000 men and the requisite officers; that a portion of be recruited from the in- habitants of those islands, to be mus- tered into the service of the United and commanded by officers of army, discretion, however, to be given to the president to make ap- pointments of officers from the force so recruited. in the secre- needs of a military Law Sustains a Son.

Faith Healer Fails. Iva Stevens, daughter of A. E. Stev- ens, of New Britain, died at the home of J. Clayton Cowles, of Plantsville, Conn., the other night. It is said the girl did not have proper medical at- tendance, but was attended by a divine healer. No burial permit has been granted, though an application for one has been ordéred. The girl's life was insured, and the insurance compaly will contest payment. An Appeal for the Chinese. Un Ting Fang, the Chinese minister at Washington, makes the following appeal: “1 wish to appeal to the American people not to enforce the Chinese ex- clusion law in those islands. By doing so a great injustice will be done my countrymen. There are a great many Chinese in the Philippines, and all of them are a credit tp the archipelago. The Chinese population there is entire- ly different from that in your western countries. In the Philippines my countrymen are engaged in every walk of life. There are innumerable artisans, farmers, storekeepers, mer- chants, traders, and, in fact, business men of every legitimate 1 character. Valuable Jewels Recovered. The two men arrested at London a few days ago who had in their posses- sion a considerable quantity of the jewelry stolen early last month en board a train running between Paris and Calais from the Dowager Duchess of Sutherland, give their names as Johnson and Lippman. They were ar- raigned and remanded. The police say that $25,000 worth of the stolen jewels, most of which had been reset, have been recovered. The duchess identi- fied the articles found in the posses-- sion of the prisoners. The total value of the jewelry stolen on the train was $150,000, and among the articles was a necklace valued at $22,000. To Try a United States Senator. United States Senator Quay, his son, Richard R. Quay and ex-State Treas- urer Benjamin J.

The demurrers recently filed by the defense ‘to the five indictments con- taining these charges were overruled Thursday by Judge Finletter, who thus sustained the indictments.

Dun & (%.’s weekly reports as follows for review of trade last week: The report of fail s for the month off November is extremely gratifying, nows npt oniy a R.

Considering that failures are usually smaller in summer months than lin November, the monthly return may’ be considered about the best ever made and shows a condition of financial soundness rare- ly surpassed. Nobody can estimate the the iron and steel! industry the past. week's tions in ste€l rails, which are exce®d 700,600 tons. The makers hav- ing failed to agree, and to complete the consolidation under which a single selling agency was expected to sell. all the rails for domestic use or for exA port, the western works entered an agreement by themselves and fixed their scale of prices at $17 for Pitts- burg, $18 tor. Chicago and $19 for Colo=- rado, and the Illinois steel works are said to have taken orders in a single week covering much the greater part of next year’s capacity. But eastern concerns have not been idle and have taken such large orders that the output of the year is now ex- pected to exceed 2,000,000 tons. Bessemer pig iron is stronger at Pittsburg, where purchases of 30,000 tons have cleared out “stocks held out- side the association, but is selling at $10 40 there, while the association de- mands $10 at Valley mills. Gray forge is steady, and other pig is in better de- mand at Chicago and Philadelphia. Finished products of iron and steel are unchanged in price, although plates and bars are in remarkably heavy demand, especially for car building. Sales of wool have been large in No- vember, 39,875,800 pounds in five weeks, against 34,122,400 pounds last year and 26,831,000 pounds in 1892, but they have been effected by important concessions in price. Manufacturers have some- what larger orders and are more hopeful, but a considerable share of the machinery must inevitably remain idle until material is cheaper in comparison with the cost of wool and goods in other countries. The rise of cotton to 5.62c, which had no other basis than an impression that cold weather and storms late in No- vember might do much harm, reacted a sixseenth, but rose Friday and closed at the top price, with improvement in the goods market. While prices of print cloths are unchanged the prices of some heavy goods and bleached shirtings are a trifle higher. The wheat market has been weaker, with heavy western receipts, and has declined l%c. Atlantic exports have been 6,123,056 bushels, flour included, for the week, against 5,187,632 bushels last year, and Pacific exports 1,810,225 bushels, against 1,857,959 bushels last vear, and for five weeks the total ex- rerts have been 28,304,863 bushels, against 26,122,709 bushels last year. Within the same time corn exports have been 14,490,283 bushels, against 12,881,532 bushels last year, and the price has risen 3c. It is a most sig- nificant fact, which all interested may keep well in mind, that exports of wheat about equal the greatest ever known in any crop year thus far, but are accompanied by corn exports also but slightly exceeded in the year of greatest movement heretofore. The possibility that foreign dependence on American food supplies is permanently increasing may be worth considering. gain for which will transac- said to. / SE Inve 3
