The "Ducal Emblem Floated
From the Flagpole of the
Plaza Hotel.
NEW WORKERS MUCH AMUSED.
All the Preparations Completed for
the Dazzling Vanderbilt
Wedding.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Nov. 5.-WiIliam
K. Vanderbilt, his daughter, Miss Consuelo
Vanderbilt, and the Duke of Marlborough
met at the home of Mrs. Vanderbilt, at "a
West Seventy-second street, this morning,
and signed the papers affecting the mar
rage settlements. Mrs. Vanderbilt was
not present.
Mr.. Vanderbilt drove to the house with
his lawyer, ]. Henry Anderson. A few
minutes later the Duke arrived with his
solicitor, Milward Harding. An hour was
spent in going over the terms and finally
the papers were signed by Miss Wander
bilt, her father and her prospective hus-
band. 1t was subsequently, learned on
good authority that by the terms of the
settlement Miss Vanderbilt gets a dowry
of So 900, 600. Mr.. and Mrs. Jay will this
evening entertain the Duke and his pros
pective bride at dinner.
Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt will become
the Duchess of Marlborough at noon to-
morrow. The marriage will be celebrated
at st. Thomas Church in the presence OF
1900 invited guests. The wedding without
doubt will surpass in elaboration of details
any previous wedding ever solemnized IN
this city. The rank in England of the
young Bridegroom and the great wealth of
the BRIDES family have caused their nup-
tials to attract vast amount OF attention.
1t is consequently expected that a great
crowd of curious persons will be attracted
to the scene of the ceremony, and every
possible precaution has been taken to pre-
vent any disorder. such as marked the
wedding OF the Earl of Craven to Miss
Bradley Martin.
A large force of police will be on hand
to keep Fifth avenue and the adjoining
streets clear and to hold the crowd back
from the church entrances. No persons
will be allowed in the church except those
who have tickets. The doors will be
opened at 10 o'clock. At that time a con-
cert of vocal and instrumental music will
begin, under the conduct of George Will
liam Warren. 1t is expected that this will
be concluded by II :15 O'Clock. The SYM
phony orchestra under Mr.. Damrosch will
then play. The nuptial music from
"Lohengrin" will be played during the
ceremony.
The time for the ceremony has been
fixed for u o'clock. The clergymen who
are to take part in the ceremony will be in
the chancel at that time. Bishop Little
john will officiate, assisted by Bishop
Potter and Mr.. John Wesley Brown.

DR. SMITH is SUCCESSFUL
Safety of the Philadelphia Who
Is Exploring in Unknown
Africa.
Discoveries of Great Value in Region
Never Before Traversed by
White Man.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 5.-A Ca
blegram was received in this city last even
ing from DR.. Donaldson Smith, dated
Alden, bearing the one word, Successful"
This news established the safety of the
plucky Philadelphian, who for the past
year and half has been exploring the wilds
OF Eastern Africa, ana at the same time
puts an end TO the doubt as to his safety
which had been felt by those interested in
the expedition for the past few months.
DR.. Smith entered Africa on the eastern
coast about at the third degree of north
latitude a year ago last June, to push
across the country of the Gallas and NASSAU
to two lakes which had been recently
discovered by another expedition, and
| thence on to the two Nyanzas, his object
being TO carry out and complete the line
OF exploration from the lakes to the east
coast, distance of several hundred miles.
DIR. Smith was accompanied by about $50
Africans, and at first by an Englishman,
who was subsequently obliged to return to
London. DIR. Smith sent back some fine
specimens of the regions fora, after he
had been on his expedition few months,
for the Geographical Society of London,
and some months later was reported to be
pushing on by another party whom he
met.
Aside from these evidences of his safely
there has been none until the arrival of
his cablegram last evening. AS the region
which DR.. Smith has traversed is at the
present time represented by blank space
ON the map of Africa, the significance of
the explorers brief message will be real
lied Immediately. He has undoubtedly
made a great many discoveries of much
value.

CARACAS, VENEZUELA, Nov. 5.-Impor-
tant kilograms received by the Govern
ment from England and the United States
yesterday resulted in President Crespo
summoning meeting of the Cabinet and
the principal advisers, which lasted over
three hours and was most secret This
morning lengthy cipher cable was sent
to Washington and orders were issued by
the War Department to suspend sending
troops to the Cuyuni. All efforts to obtain
the result of the conference unavail. In
quiries in Government circles were an
swered that nothing is yet ready for pub
lication. Rumors are current that assur-
ances have been received that the ques-
tions pending between Venezuela and
England will be submitted to arbitration,
but owing to the opposition to Crespo the
arbitration will be a farce, and the deci-
sion, while favorable in few minor points
to Venezuela, will give England many ad-
vantages, though by no means all she
asked.

Denoratised Condition of the Spanish
Arn,y IN Cuba.
BOSTON, MASS, Nov. 5.-A dispatch to
morning paper brings the following in
telligence from Cuba. The information is
from one of the largest sugar-planters and
is regarded as an unbiased view of the
struggle:
The Spanish army in Cuba is in very
demoralized condition. This demoraliza-
ton is due to insuficiency of food and
clothing and lack of pay. The soldiers
are starving, in rags and barefooted, and
many have n OF been paid since the revolu-
ton began. The mortality among the
troops is frightful. In some regiments so
per cent have died OF yellow fever.
The Madrid Government seems to be
utterly heartless as regards the troops.
Some time ago the soldiers sent petition
to Madrid asking that the families of
those dying with yellow fever be granted
the same pensions as those killed in
battle. This petition was approved by
Campos, but the Madrid Government re-
fused to grant it, The soldiers have been
maddened by these things, and open
mutiny is threatened.
1t is reported in Havana that Campos
has cabled Madrid that unless the soldiers
be better treated Spain will soon have no
army in Cuba. The soldiers and officers
are so Respondent that suicides are occur
ring daily, The Spanish planters say the
island is lost to Spain and that they are
getting out while they can. Every steamer
leaving Havana for Europe is crowded
