TO SHUT US OUT.
France viii Put High Duties on Certain
American Goods.

New York, Dec. 1.-The authorities
in Washington, according to the CORE
spondent of the Herald, have been IN
formed that France, while ostensloly
engaged in negotiations with TINS gov
eminent for reciprocity treaty, Is tax
ing steps to place prohibitory tarlu
upon some American products. Inc
state department has been notified that
a bill is pending in the legislative as
sembly of France imposing high duty
upon certain products, which Will prac-
ticallv make that country closed mar
ket, so far as the United States Is con-
cerned. Ambassador Porter probably
will be requested to make an earnest
protest against the measure.
This bill may cause the authorizes
here to go slow in negotiations Tor the
reciprocity agreement. The depart
ment has received no reply to its propo-
sition that in exchange for a lower tarllf
on French wines the French govern
ment shall remove the prohibition
against the importation of American
cattle. Unless this concession be grant
ed, the measure referred to may he de-
ieated and the reciprocity negotiations
come to naught. Should this happen,
the French government may rctallatc
by imposing the maximum tariff under
its laws upon American products which
now enter under the minimum tariff.
AS these products are few, however,
the authorities are not greatly dis
turbed over the outlook.
DR.. Van Hollenben, the new Ger
man am bassador to the United States,
will be formally presented to the pres
ident tomorrow. He is expected to
make representations in regard to the
tariff, The state department is in
formed that Baron Won Hollenben's in
structions contain propositions desig
mated to lead to reciprocity arrange
ment. 1t is believed the United States
will require in return for any conces-
of restrictions now imposed upon the
importation into Germany of American
cattle and beef.
The German government, OF course,
will direct its efforts in the direction
of securing the repeal of the bounty
section of the tariff law, which clearly
affects Germany's sugar interests.
Many representations on this subject
have been made already by the Ger
man authorities 1t is not likely, how
ever that the president will recon-
mend any restriction OF the tariff law,
and apparently the only way in which
the German government can secure an
advantage for her industries would be
to enter into a reciprocity agreement.
Officials are specializing on the atti-
tude OF the agrarian interests of the
German empire and the German en-
peror, who favors the agrarlan party
upon their proposition to be submitted.
SO far as they have gone the outlook is
not favorable.

DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.
Blaze Lake Steamer Extends to
Docks, With Fearful Results.

Escanaba, Mich, Dec. Late to-
night fire broke out on the steamer
Nahanta, and before it could be con-
trolled it spread to the ore docks, the
largest in the world. Two of the docks
are on fire, and the others are threat
ened with destruction. Two OF the crew
of the steamer, whose names cannot be
learned are known to be lost, and sew
eral others injured. The steamer was
lying at the dock loading ore. Shortly
before midnight, the crew discovered
that the vessel was on fire. The crew
made every effort to quench the flames,
but a brisk wind was blowing and
spread the fire with great rapidity.
From the steamer the fire spread to
Dock No. 4, which was partly loaded
with ore and lumber. The lumber was
soon a mass OF flames, and from this it
spread to the next dock The fire is
still burning tiercely. The loss will be
fully S300,000.

VICTIM OF CANNiBALS.
Fate of Two Washingtonians in Congo
Free State.

Washington, Nov. 30.-A startling
and horrible story of the killing of two
Washingtonians and the mutilation of
the bodies by natives of the Congo Free
State has just been received here in a
letter to Leo Hartman, of this city. The
men were members of a party which,
during November and December. 1894,
went from this city to enlist in the
Belgian army for service in the Con-
go. The party included Lindsay
Burke, Frank Bachelor, Barry r. An
drews, Harry Sparlin and a Mr.. NJ Ell.
lin, who was at one time a noncommis
stoned officer of the United States
army. All except Thornton and Mel
lin We're members Of the National
Guard of this district.
The information received is that Mr..
were sent out in December, 1896, to
dislodge band of natives who revolt
ed, were ambushed and killed. An
Arab, who was with the command, but
was some distance off at the time of
the ambush, states that Burke was
dead before the natives reached him,
and that the most hideous looking lit
tie men he ever saw walked up and cut
Burke's head off with one blow Of a
knife. The chief then began TO slice
pieces of his legs and arms and to dis.
tribute them among his followers.
There were SO many OF the natives that
the pieces Were very small, and before
they had concluded, there was tight
to see who would get the remainder.
The natives then left, one carving off
Burke's arm.
Windeye, New Yorker. who had
command of another detachment OF sol
diers sent out on the same errand, ar
rived few hours after the natives left.
Windeye gathered up the remains of
Burke and buried them. When he
learned the strength OF the rebels, he
hurried back to Michau and notified
the commandant of the post.
The other Washingtonian who lost
his life was killed March /, when the
troops, under the command of Baron
Dhanis, revolted near Kabanbarre. and
assasslnated number of officers Of
their regiment, among them being
Mellin. The body OF Mellin was Init
chered beyond rec gnition. His heart
was cut out and burned.
The situation is said to be precari.
Gus, and relief expedition has been
sent to the rescue. Mr.. Gage. another
American, is very sick at Nangine.

MASSACRE OF iNNOCENTS.
FriGhtful Mortality Among the Cuban
Concentration.

New York, Dec. IA dispatch to
the World from Havana says: The
Worlds first figures OF Cuba's starva-
tion were timdly moderate. They
showed the deaths of only 200, 900 per-
sons; but every painful fact unearthed
tends to prove them nearly double that
number. When the grim returns are
all in it is now almost certain that this
Cuban massacre of the innocents will
reach 400, 900. And this awful num-
Der does not include those killed in
battle or the thousands and thousands
OF women and children who died OF eX-
posure, disease and massacre in the
swamps.
1t now seems certain that more than
halt 4 million people, for the most
part loyal subjects of Spain, have been
killed by the Spanish war in Cuba. A
weeks trip through the provinces OF
Havana, Matanzas and Santa Clara has
tended to make moderate this tremen-
dous extreme figure.
The figures of Spanish official reports
show out part OF the mortality. They
only give the number buried in conse-
Grated ground, and they do not give
that fully. And yet these official
ultra Spanish reports of burial permits
issued admit that in the province of
Santa Clara there have diel and been
buried since Weyler's fat, l,S47 per-
sons.
The number OF people for whose ex-
istence Weyler Is directly responsible
is l55, 1872, in Santa Clara province.
And OF these he has killed S6.216, or
over one-half of them. Santa Clara
has so far been by far the least desti-
tute of the provinces. 1t has many
cattle and not very thick population.
Between it and the 53 per cent admit
ted dead in Pnar del Rio are the prov
inces of Matanzas and Havana, with a
60 and 10 per cent mortality respect
lively. These percentages are estab-
lished by the actual figures of some 80
cities and towns Applied to the dem
ser populations of their respective
provinces, the total deaths since Wey.
ler's "bando' will foot up nearly a
million.
