Havana, Nov. 3.-On the arrival of
General Blanco, the new captain-gen-
eral, the streets and the vessels in the
harbors were gaily decorated. The
wharves were crowded with people,
and the troops and volunteers lined the
thoroughfares from the landing stage
to the palace. When Marshal Blanco

the civil and military authorities and
by commissioners representing the va

my endeavor to restore fraternity among
all OF Cuba's inhabitants. l am sincere
in my intention to inaugurate a new
government policy, the object OF which
will be to secure and preserve peace.

brace the Spanish flag, throwing aside
all prejudices and discarding alliance

The following proclamation has been

II desire to express my admiration

efforts, and with the concurrence of the
whole country, which will unhesitat-
ingly side with US to fight the victims
OF hallucinations. who aspire only to
what must bring complete destruction,
and which offers as the only compensa-
ton treason to the history of their race
or the sale of their country to for
eigners.
LET there be war, therefore, on the
stubborn enemies of the Spanish peo-
pie and protection for those who ask
the clemency of Spain; and let this
war, which dishonors us and is max
ing us penniless. be vigorously prose-
cuted."
There is no reference to autonomy in

TROUBLE IN HAYT'.
.r-..t NJ a German Brings Dow" '"e
wrath of the Kaiser.

wrath of the Kaiser.
Port au Prince, Hayti, Nov. 2.-seri-
ous trouble has arisen between nay u
and Germany. The German minister
TO this republic, Count schwereln' IA
bauled down his flag and. according u
current report, three German wars',p7
are expected here to back up the uIti-
matum of the minister, demanding an
indemnity for the alleged illegal ares
and imprisonment OF German ci.l%cn
The affair has caused considerable *
element among the native population;
and some of the people have threa,ehel
to kill the German minister ana al tnc
Germans in the place and vicinity.
The affair grew out of the arrest a
fey weeks ago OF German naiheo
Linders. The Germans say that
dozen policemen entered Lihdei
bouse and arrested one of his servants.
Mr.. Linders went to the central ponce
Headquarters to complain against this
action of the police, but was himseii
arrested, charged with assaultlng ana
attempting to murder police officers IN
the execution of their duty. Llnders
was condemned to pay fine OF SAW
and to undergo one months lmprlsoh-
ment, and was taken to jail. Clalm-
ing he was innocent, Linders demanded
and obtained second trial, and was
condemned to pay fine OF sou, ana
was sentenced to one years he prisoh-
ment. The German minister teie-
graphed to Berlin for instructions and
giving details of the case. On October
II, the German minister went to the
president OF Hayti and demanded, IN
the name of the German emperor, that
Linders be set at liberty, and also de-
manded for every day he spent in
prison, 23 in all, an indemnity OF
81 900 in gold, adding that for every
day Linders was kept prisoner after
that notification he (the German MIN
ister) would demand an indemnity OF
$1,000 in gold.
At first. the Haytian president re.
fused to grant the German minister
demand, and Mr.. Linders remoined six
days longer in prison. This caused the
German minister to notify the Haytian
government that as Linders had not
been freed, he had hauled down his
flag and had sent the archives of the
German legation to the legation of the
United States, thus breaking off all re-
lations with the Haytian government.
This caused great excitement, and dis
turbances would have occurred had
they not been avoided by sending Lin
ders, who was threatened with lynch
ing, on board a steamer bound for New
York, from which port he was to leave
for Germany. 1t is said the German
minister. on the arrival OF the war
ships, will insist on the payment of
the indemnity demanded as result OF
the Imprisonment of Mr. Linders.

IN A BURNING MINE.
Six Men Lost Their Lives in . DisasteS
at Scranton.

at Scranton.
Scranton, Pa, Nov. 2.-The worst
mine disaster in the Lackawana or
Wyoming coal fields since the Twin
shaft horror at Pittston, over a year
ago, was developed in the fire which
Quilted the river stope OF the Delaware
& Hudson Company's Vonsterch mine
in this city today. Six men were suffo-
Gated by smoke.
The dead are: Thomas Hill, John
Farrell, John Francis Moran, Mike
Walsh, John Mcdonnell, Thomas Pad
den.
The stope extends down through
three veins. The missing men were
at work in the deck and suraice veins,
the former 100 and the latter 60 feet
from the surface. They had but two
avenues OF escape. The shorter route
was by way of the stope, which was
sea of flames for nearly II hours. and
is yet burning near its foot, and the
other route was via crosscuts to the
gangways which led to an air shaft.
nearly mile from the spot where the
men were working. Fire kept them
out OF the stope, and the smoke which
backed out and into all the workings
prevented escape through the crosscuts.
The supposition is that the men were
suffocated. Chief Hickey, of the
Scranton fire department, and eight
tiremen, narrowly escaped death in the
stope.
Joe 1amaski. one OF the seven men
entombed in the mine, was rescued at
10 O'Clock tonight. The bodies OF the
others were afterwards found and
brought to the surface,
