THE VIENNA BEDLAM
Citizens Add to Disgraceful
Acts Of Reichsrath.
MOBS THREATEN THE GOVERNMENT.
Count BndenPs House Attacked-POlice
Charge the crowd-students and 9th
ers Injured-serious Riots In
Gratz-Worlmen ont of It.

VIENNA, Nov. 27.-The conditions
arising out of the iisorderly conduct
and disgraceful scenes that have Of late
taken place in the reichsrath here have
become very threatening. The streets
last night We're crowded with an ex-
cited mob.
1t is estimated that a crowd of 10000,
including a very large number of stu
dents. assembled and threatened the
government with revolution and Count
Badeni, the premier, with the guillotine.
An attempt was made to attack Count
Badenis house.
The police repeatedly charged the
crowd, but refrained from using arms.
The students resisted with sticks. One
police inspector was severely injured by
a Kick from a horse, and another was
thrown from his horse and so badly
hurt that IL was necessary TO remove
him to the hospital. A few students
and some citizens received slight inju-
ries Not until nearly II o'clock was
quiet restored.
Last nights editions Of most Of the
evening newspapers were confiscated,
and the police have freely arrested per-
sons Offering papers for sale on the
streets, the sale being Illegal.
A serious riot is reported at Gratz, the
capital city Of Styria. It appears that
the students and a large body of work.
men attacked three newspaper offices,
doing some damage. The police, with
the assistance of the troops, have re-
stored order, and 20 arrests have been
made of the ringleaders.
Mr.. Samuel l.. Clemens mark Twain)
was among those expelled from the gal
lery of the unterhaus yesterday.
The cool attitude maintained by Herr
| Abrahamovics. the president of the
chamber, greatly enrages his oppo-
nents. He is tall and clean shaven.
with a profile resembling that of the
Duke of wellington.
Large crowds gathered during the
evening between the university build
ings and the parliament house owing tc
an announcement that the students
contemplated a demonstration. This
however, was prevented by the police
who promptly dispersed the student
gatherings. They made more than a
arrests, but there was no violent re-
sistance. Thus far order has been pre-
served.
Yesterdays proceedings. however, ex
hausted Herr Abrahamovlcs both phys
ically and mentally, and he was obliged
to abandon the struggle when It was q
its height DR.. Kramarz, the vice pres
ident, a young Czech, considerably tn
junior of Herr Abrahamovics, followe'
him, but he succeeded no better in hi
attempts to quell the disorder.
The Opposition leaders held anothe
meeting last evening and decided, it i
said. to impeach the ministry.
Workmen took but little part in tn
street demonstration. They intend I
organize demonstrations on their ow
account. which will probably be NOR
serious in their result.

A CUBAN MANIFESTO
Issued by the Constituent AS
sembly From Camaguey.
INDEPENDENCE OR DEATH THE MOTTO

NO Americans Arc Now Held
Prisoners In Cuba.

NEW YORK. Nov. 27.-The Cuban
constituent assembly. which met re-
Gently at Camaguey to reno lei the
constitution and elect a new president,
issued a manifesto, which has Just
reached the Office of the Cuban junta IN
this city. The document is dated La
Yaya, Oct. 30, and is signed by Domingo
Mendez Capote as president of the as
sembly. The manifesto is addressed by
"the representatives of the Cuban peo-
pie 20 all those who have the inde-
pendence and future welfare of Cuba at
heart" The document says that the
assembly before adjourning deemed it
its duty to proclaim among other things
that;
NO special laws. no political reform
or autonomy, nothing, in short, that the
Spanish government may be willing TO
grant which may mean Spanish sover-
eighty over Cuba will be accepted by
the Cubans as a settlement of the war
Independence or death is and shall
be the unalterable and sacred motto OF
the Cubans.
The Cubans have not resorted to
arms in order to obtain any political
measure which does not once and for
all solve the Cuban question. That is
the reason we will accept nothing short
of absolute independence.
1T is our purpose to constitute an
Independent state. orderly, prosperous
and happy. over the ruins of a wornoui
colony.

BATTLEsHlP IOWA.
NAVAL Trial Board Reports Very Favora-
bly, on the Warship.

WASHINGTON, Nov 27.-The naval
trial board has made a report upon the
recent two days trial of the big battle
ship Iowa at sea that thoroughly sus-
tains Commodore Deweys comment
that the ship was as fine a type of a
ship OF her class as there is in the
world. The board says In part:
The vessel under all circumstances
behaved well. being very steady and
rolling and pitching but few degrees.
Her high freeboard forward adds great
" not only 20 the comfort of the men,
but 10 her seagoing efficiency and the
power Of fighting her guns under all
circumstances. Altogether, her seago-
ing qualities appear TO be excellent.
The board was particularly Impress
ed by the personnel of the iowa and at
tributes much Of the fine appearance of
the ship and her crew to the excellent
management of Captain Sampson and
his officers. The speed made was 13.45
knots. but this was under natural draft
alone and a poor quality of coal. Tho
machinery worked well in every par
ticular.
Some fault was found with the prim-
ing of the six FOUNDER shells, and at
tention Is called TO an unduly large
portfolio, which might prove a danger
to the ship by admitting shot and shell
but on the whole the report is as favor
able as any report on any of our ships.

James Rran Arrested.

CHICAGO, Nov. 27-James Ryan,
charged with being an accomplice in
the mysterious disappearance Of Mrs.
Christopher Merry Of so Hope street
last Sunday, was placed under arrest
yesterday afternoon. After evading the

der a pile of hay in a livery stable.

plice, James Smith. had been in the
barn earlier in the day, but they fled

wounds, is supposed to have been car
ried away in. On the bottom Of the
buggy We're found blood stains. In tho
stove of the little cottage at so Hope

that they came from the woman's gar.
ments.

The situation In Spain.

WASHINGTON. Nov p. - Reports
received at the state department from
Spain indicate that the Sagasta minis
try is having a hard time and is likely
to be troubled quite as much by opposi-
tion at home as by the insurrection in
Cuba. The dispatches describing General
Weyler's reception at Barcelona gave
the impression that he may contribute
something TO the embarrassnents Of
the present ministry. and the depart
ment here feels somewhat troubled in
undertaking a definite policy by the be-
lief that the present Spanish ministry
may not long be able to negotiate and
perhaps not even be able 70 carry out
what might now be agreed upon. The
next two or three weeks are believed to
constitute a critical period with the
Liberal ministry and with the expert
ment Of Cuban autonomy. Students of
foreign affairs are watching the situa-
tion closely, and congressional action
may be materially influenced thereby.

puN's REVIEW.
Exports Continue Very Heavy and Con-
dition of Trade balance satisfactory.


NEW YORK. Nov. 27.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says;
The heavy export Of wheat, with an
other advance In price, IS the most IN
teresting and important feature OF the
weeks events Since Aug. /, when the
extent of foreign deficiency became
realized, exports have been larger than
IN corresponding weeks OF any previous
year. The cotton exports also have be.
come very heavy. and the outgo or
corn falls but little below last years
unprecedented record, while in exports
Of manufactured products, especially
machinery, all records for the season
have been surpassed.
While the aggregate for November
last year was over $1O9. 100000 ship
ments from New York for three weeks
have been but slightly smaller, with
fair prospect that the known Increase
in cotton and other products from other
ports may make up the deficiency.
Meanwhile imports are running behind
last years at New York nearly $1,000 :
900 this month, so that another excess
OF exports over imports amounting 70
about $50, 900. 900 for the month Is prob
able. But this would make an excess
Of about 1926, ,OOO. 900 in four months.
Another shipment of s1,375.0OO gold
from Australia has been announced
making s10,9O3.55O in four months, and
the reserve exchange bills held by New
York banks have increased 10 $s5O0'-
600. while IT is believed that large
amounts are also held in the same way
at other chief cities. Foreign opera
tions In securities have made no ap'
preciable difference. but with Russia
Germany and France able TO draw golt
from London, while rates Of Interest
here are low because Of net receipts o.
50. .2J0, 900 from the interior and CONNER
cial loans restricted by unusually sat
isfactory payments including larg'
amounts due on tea, postponement o
gold imports from England is not
matter Of surprise or regret.
