AUSTRIA IS INDIGNANT.
SHE SENDS A SHARP NOTE TO
THE PORTE.
1t Must Make Reparation for the
Insult to the Austrian Consul
and Merchant Brazzafoli.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov 14-Baron
de Calice. the Austro- Hungarian EN-
bassador to che Porte, has demanded
the dismissal of the Vail of Adana,
Asia Minor, and of the Mulessarif Of
Mersina, the port of Adana, the two
officials responsible for the recent in
dignity to the Austrian merchant Bra3-
zafoT, agent at Mersina Of the Aus
tria Lloyd Steamship Company He
has also demanded a salute TO the Aus
trlan flag. In the event of a failure
TO comply with both demands, Baron
de Calice viii quit Constantinople on
next Tuesday
According to dispatches to the Asso-
ciated Press Thursday the semi-official
"F'remdenblatt" of Vienna said that
on that day a noticeable coolness be-
tween the Austrian Embassy at Con-
stantinople and the Porte had resulted
in the high handed action of the local
authorities OF Mersina toward the agent
at that port of the Austrian Lloyd
Steamship Company. a merchant
named Brazzafoli. 1t appears that he
first incurred Turkish suspicion OF po-
iitical intrigue by befriending fugitive
Armendans and giving the most neces-
sltous cheap passages by the Austrian
Lloyd Steamship Company's vessels.
Last Monday Turkish authorities ex-
PEELED him from Mdsina The Aus
TRAN Government protested, whereupon
the Porte allowed Brazzafoli to return
to Mersina- When he came to land the
local Turkish officials maltreated him:
not content with that they also in
suited the Austrian Consul, who inter
vened in his behalf Austria immedi-
ately sent strong note to the Turkish
Government demanding an explana-
ton. The note was followed by orders
to the Austrian cruiser Leopard to pro-
eeed to Mersina and protect the Aus
trian consulate and the Christians at
that port.

MORE ARSENIC FOUND.
Chemist Wenxell Completes an An
alysis In the Belew Case,

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14.-Chemist
William T. Wenzell of the Health De-
partment reported yesterday that he
had completed the preliminary test
or qualitative analysis of the liver of
Miss Belew, whose death occurred in
Dixon a few days ago, and had found
some arsenic. There was not a great
deal of the poison, and it was not ex-
pected, as the usual amount of poison
found in the liver in. cases of arsanical
poison is only one-hundredth part of /
per cent.
In support of this claim the chemist
cited the celebrated Maybrick poison
ing case, where no trace of the poison
was found in the stomach, it having
been absorbed by the liver. intestines
and other parts of the body.

THE CUBAN SITUATION.
Important Advices Expected Soon
From Consul-General Lee.

NEW YORK. Nov. IA dispatch
to the Tribune from Washington
says:
Important advices are expected from
Consul-General Lee in Havana this
week. By this time it is thought some
idea should be had as to whether Gen
eral Blancos policy is causing improve
ment in the condition of the starving
reconcentradoes The prospects of ne
gotiations between the Spanish authori-
ties and the insurgents may also be
determined by the presence of General
Lee. The insurgent leaders have al
ready stated Enthusiastically that they
will not accept autonomy. Little hope
is felt in Administration circles that
they will change their minds.
Nevert helesS. an intimation had been
thrown out that General Gomez and
his associates in the field were waiting
an opportunity to communicate with
the representatives of the United
States. Their position is said to be
that, as this country has offered its
good offices to Spain to end the war.
it is competent to receive a suggestion
from other parties to the war While
the insurgents have not received rec
ognition as belligerents, they want to
be treated as such in making prop
osation for peace. An inkling of their
purpose has been received. This is to
make known through the Consul Gen
eral their desire to have the United
States as intermediary with Spain in
aTanting the terms of peace but peace
on the basis of independence. This is
meant as counter movement to the
proffer of autonomy. Spain has al
ready declared that Cuba cannot buy
independence, but the insurgents do not
care for that. While strengthening
themselves in the field they intend to
do some diplomatic fencing
No special instructions were given
General Lee as full confidence is felt
in his discretion.
A proposition from the insurgents for
the mediation by the United States on
the basis suggested might be trans
mdtted to Washington, but it would
hardly go further The feeling based
on pretty accurate information is that
before long both the Sagasta Ministry
and the insurgents will be ayailing
themselves of the good offices of this
country. though just how this will
come about is uncertain Some san
guine officials predict peach within
three months.

The SmuggIer Mine at Aspen is on
Fire.
Fifty Men Almost Suffocated in Fighting
the Flames.
An Attempt to Bu1khead the Mine
Came Near Resulting Disas-
trously to Them, but All Were
Resuscitated-If the Mine Has
to be Flooded 1t Will Shut
Down Every Mine in the Camp.

DENVER. Nov. 14-A special to the
Rocky Mountain News from Aspen,
Col, says:
The timbers in the lower workings of
the Smuggler mine are on fire, and not
withstanding strenuous efforts have
been made all day to check the fire it
seems to be gaining headway. The
damage cannot be estimated at this
time owing to the far-reaching nature
of the disaster.
The workmen in the Smuggler and
Molle Gibson began to inhale an OBJ
noxious gas about / o'clock this morn
ing, and Immediately began a search
for its source. Three hours later it was
discovered that the large crib running
between the eighth and fifth levels of
that mine was on fire, and within 4
short time the workings of the Mollie
Gibson and the Smuggler above the
SD0-foot point We're so impregnated
with the fumes that the miners were
driven out
The Mollie Gibson people then at
tempted to get in bulkheads in their
connection between the two mines. The
air was so foul that twenty-five men
We're overcome, and for a time ii was
thought that wholesale fatalities had
resulted. AT one time twelve uncon-
scious men were pulled from the mine
and stretched upon the shafthouse floor
1t required the utmost efforts of physi-
clans and others for over half an hour
to bring these men around. The gas
became so bad about 5 o'clock that the
Mollie was abandoned. In fact, almost
all the men were unconscious or par
TALLY so. The pump men abandoned
their pumps and left the miners to
drown. Learning of this. Master Me-
chanic Carson of the Smuggler crept
through the connection and started
them up again. This gave the Moilie
people new life and they tackled the
bulkheads and succeeded in getting
them in. Some twenty-five men were
overcome at the Smuggler in an at
tempt to bulkhead in the fire.
Speaking of the situation, Manager
Hallet of the Smuggler stated that it
was most serious.
After regarding the possibility of
having to flood the mine, Mr. Hallet
stated that such a course would be a
last resort. In the event of having to
flood the mine, it will shut down every
mine in the camp.
