war which was ill-timed and i'll
advised and the continuance OF
which means dreadful misery and
poverty on the island" 1t is i'm
possible for the insurgents to win.
They can do no more than they
have been doing. They occupy no
towns, not even a hamlet, and en-
forced living in the mountain dis
trlcts and swamps is making havoc
in the ranks. The recent battles
resulting in the defeat OF the
Cubans have greatly discouraged
them, and many are going back to
their former homes tired of the
fight which is now practically
lost"
Garcia is known in this city. He
went to Cuba on one Of the first
expeditions, and is believed to have
been one Of the first men to reach
Puerto Principe with band OF
insurgents.

GERMAN SOCIALISTS

NEW YORK, Dec. ia dispatch

Notwithstanding the recent ener-

against socialists, heparty leaders
are sRnguine OF ultimate victory in
the reichstag and of putting stop
once for all to what they term "the
tyranical oppression by an i'm
perial autocrat Of universal sui-
frage." The socialists have pre-
pared a coup d'etat, which will eX-
plode the idea bombshell in the
reichstag. That they fear neither
the kaiser nor the government is
evident from the attack of Herr
Bebel, at Wednesdays session, and
from the mass meeting which was
held in Berlin last night. At a
secret committee meeting OF promi.

The Vorw9rts asserts that, al.
though at the recent police search
OF the editorial rooms of the paper
some Insignificant Hammerstein's
letter had been confiscated, there
still remain number Of the most
comprising epistles in the hands OF
the management.
These letters were addressed to
Baron Won merstein, who has
absconded and is in a place OF safe

states that the letters not only
contain highly entertaining re-
Ceipts but also gross les majestic
expressions. The publication OF
these writings would, and will
doubtless, lead to the arrest and
conviction OF highly esteemed
members OF the nobility. Many
Overtures have been made by the
conservatives to gain possession OF
OF the Ham merstein letters.
Fabulous sums, declares the So

by them for some particularly COM
promising epIstles. Neither money
nor threats have been able to bride

PORTO RICO FLAG ADOPTED,
It Has the Same Old Colors, Red,
White and Blue.

White and Blue.
NEW YORK, Dec. ia local
paper says: The Porto Rican rev.
dictionary party has adopted
flag. At secret meeting held at
the home of DR.. ]. Julio Henna, a
"color committee" was appointed
to design a flag for the revolution
lists and submit its rtport as soon
as possible to the board of direc-
tors, OF which DR.. Henna is presi-
dent. At secret meeting of the
board this committee made its re-
port, which was adopted amid en-
thusiastic shouts of "Vive Porto
Rico Libre," The flag is in design
identical with the Cuban flag,
though the arrangement of colors,
which are the same as those in
Cuba's flag, is different. The Porto
Rican flag has five white horizon
tai stripes, three bright red and
two white. On the left side is a
triangle of bright blue, the base
bhS sldh ouSo UhO opCA
being in the middle of the red cen.
ter stripe. In the center Of this
blue triangle is one white star. The
white star stands, for Porto Rico,
and the blue around it signifies
that it is in the midst of the sea
which separates it from Spain, the
mother country being represented
by the blood red stripes. The
white stripes represent the repub.
lies which were once provinces Of
Spain, but which have gained their
independence through revolution.
The first flag is now being manu-
featured in this city after this de-
sign and arrangements are being
made for the manufacture of a
large number of them.

RIOT IN STEAMBOAT.

rious nature as pre-supposed by the

city and matters looked very Sc
rious and shops and houses
were closed and barricaded byI the
frenzied inhabitants. The police
and military caught the panic
From Siam boal the wave of terror
spread to Galata and Pera. The

by the report that the cause of the
fright was the escape and subse-

order. The panic lasted two hours.

NEW YORK, Dec. ia special
to the Herald from Buenos Ayres
says: Great excitement has been
created here by the discovery OF

An American firm is interested.

plans. Samples of ore have been
sent to London and a banking
house in the United States has
been interested in the financial
operations. Coal and water in
abundance are near by, and as the
ore is free milling the work OF
developing the working of the
mines will be easy and the cost
will be moderate. Mendoza is the
capital of the province Of Mendoza,
which borders on the provinces of
San Juan and San Luis. On the
western borders are the Andes
