Prague, Dec. 3-The city authorities, the Bohemian National and Students associations and the workmen's socie- ties met today and appointed vigilance committee. The stadthaller was waited upon and informed that the object of the committee was to secure order and safety of life and property. The stad- thaller was requested to withdraw the troops, but this he refused to do, de- claring that he was responsible for the maintenance of order. The stadthaller. however, invited the deputation of the vigilance committee to request the con1, mittee to use it's influence to prevent further disturbances. The city was quiet all night.
 Another regiment of infantry and a squadron of dragons have arrived td reinforce the garrison here. Up to o'clock this afternoon there had been nd further disturbance.
 At Pilsen last evening the troops were called upon to d5sperse a riotous mob of several thousand youths. Some of the latter were wounded and many ar- rests were made. Subsequently the mill itary forces were wthdra wn. The town has since been quiet.
 Owing to an attempt to wreck the Bohemian schools at Badenboch, milii, tary assistance has been asked for to quell the disturbances.
 At Beraum the windows of the houses occupied by the German minister of military affairs were broken yesterday evening and the troops subsequently, occupied the streets and dispersed the mob.

 -Dauntess Did Not FIibuster.

Havana, Dec. S.-Senor Canaleies, the
 special commissioner of the Spanish government, has returned here from his
 visit to the province of Pinar del Rio.
 He says there are 34000 "concentrado"
 peasants gathered in that country and
 in the neighborhcod of towns for pro-
 tection from insurgents or to prevent them from joining the enemy, and that
 they are all in want. Of this number 15,000 are orphans and the majority are children of tender years. The municipal
 au thorities, the commissioner says, are
 without resources, and therefore unable to do anything to relieve the destitu-
 ton.
 There is great anxiety here to know
 the terms of the message of President
 Mckinley to congress.
 The central committee of the autono-
 mist party has passed a vote of confi-
 dence in it's powers to bring about peace
 by reason of autonomy.
 The president of the standing commit
 tee of the Planters association assures the government that all signs indicate the success of the sugar crop. Notwithstanding the reformists have appointed a committee to negotiate with the autonomists it is believed that noth- ing will be decided upon until the ar
 rfval from Madrid of leading members of the party, who have been appointed as delegates by the Cuban reformists there and who are now on the way. The governor of Pinar del Rio is en-
 deavorfng to relieve the critical s.tua- ton in that province where majority of the inhabitants are identified with the tobacco trade. The crop this year is only half the normal, though some judges have put it at about 60 per cent of the usual crop.
 Some Engagements. The Spanish column under Lieut.. Col. Alto Laguerre engaged the insurgents at Arroyo Blanco, near Sanct Spiritus,
 and inflicted considerable loss upon them. Later it had another hot engage ment with the insurgents at the Deli
 oias farm, the insurgents. according to
 At Arroyo the insurgent leader, Eloyo Montegudo, a man of much influence among his co-partlsans, has formally surrendered.
 The columns under Col. Bruella and Col. Falanca, while in the Remedies district, fought the insurgents under
 Gen. Carillo and Gen. Gonzales. Accord ing to the official account, the insurgents left twenty-five dead upon the field. No further details of the fighting have been received.
