HAVANA, Dec. u.-RsliabIe reports
state that American citizens in Cientugos
and that vicinity are indignant over the
searching OF the American steamer San
tiago at that port by the police and civil
guards. Indignation was heightened be-
cause the alleged search was made at the
suggestion of American Consul McGarr.
II is charged against McGarr that he in
formed the authorities that, in his JUDI e.
ment, a search would result in the finding
of insurgent correspondence. AS a mat

PORT-AU-PkINCB, Dec. 11.-There is
a strong probability of change in the
Government as a result of its action in The
Lueders incident, and it cannot outlive
the present crisis unless the management
Of affairs is very skillfuI. The feeling
against the Germans is still intense, but
all foreigners are safe.
The Marb ehead is here and all on board
are well. The officers will be received by
President Sam or Wednesday. The Ameri-
can colony ard legation will visit the war
ship tomorrow. The German naval COM
mander called upon the President to- day
and his visit will be returned to- morrow
One result of the developments Of the last
few weeks is the arrest by or6er of the
Government of several editors who were
outspoken in their criticism of the con-
duct of affairs.
America has lost much influence and
prestige through allowing the Germans
to do as they wished. The American COL
ony is also greatly disappointed. Minis
ter Powell is endeavoring to create q
better feeling toward the United States,
with a good hope of success.
In a proclamation The President SAYS
lease of Herr Lueders, which seemed to
put end to the affair.
When the German Minister returned
here it was thought the subject would be
left for discussion with Berlin, and that
the trouble would be settled through
ordinary diplomatic channels.
The arrival of the werships with the
ultimatum. therefore, caused the greatest
surprise. The first idea of the Haytian
government was to make an armed re.
sistance. leaving the German naval COM
mander to carry out his threats of bonn
bardment. The republic. however, left al
the last moment to its own resources de-
spite its hope OF powerful naval support
decided that it would be wiser to yield
and spare the nation, and especially the
weaker part of 1.-THE women and chill
dren-from a calamity resulting from ag-

lieves there is call for greater unity TO

ASTORIA, Or. Dec. 1.-THE following
bulletin was received at o'clock this
afternoon from the Government lookout
station at the cape:
The lightship has shifted her position and
is now considerably north and nearer the bar
She is about three miles off the bar west by
south from here.
At o'clock the Manzanita went down
to the bar to see if the lightship needed
help. The Manzanita, which has Just re-
turned, reports that when inside the bar

lights showing and judged she was in her

miles off the bar. The Manzanita will 90

river is so rough that it is dangerous for q

been one of the worst on record.
A later telegram received from the Gov
ernment office at the cape says that the
lightship is about ten miles north OF

burning, evidently unaware that she is
adrift. TIE tide has turned and she is
commencing 10 DRIFT toward North Beach
The night is now clear. Rockets have
been fire to warn her. At the cape they
think she will find out where she is and
get up steam and pull out and keep off

PARIS, Dec. l-Another woman is
fighting a forlorn hope with unfinching
courage. Even those to whom the name
OF her treason branded husband is an
aSomination admit il is well known that
Nine. Dreyfus is the leading spirit in the
efforts TO clear the degraded captain. She
appealed to the Pope in a letter pregnant
with wifelv trust and secured the good
offices of a high pl aced Catholic to put the
letter into the proper hands. What Leo
XIII could do in the case is not apparent,
but her action Is pathetically significant
1t is frequently stated that Dreytus was
not condemned solely on the strength OF
the bordeau. Traps are said to have been
set for him for long time before he had
any fnkling that he was suspected. One
account saws that General Mercier, then
Minister of War, and General de Bois-
deffre chief OF staff, hit upon q scheme of
letting Dreyfus, and Dreyfus only, know
of the plan of mobilization of 100 600 men
against Mulhause in The event of war. A
short time afterward they learned from a
secret agent in Germany that the Berlin
war office was making plans counter to
this supposed plan.
When this was brought home to Drey-
fus at The trial he stammered out a story
of having mentioned the matter to COL
leagues in the intelligence department.
These officers were summoned, but when
confronted by them Dreyfus could not
specifically say he had spoken to them on
the subject, and his strange behavior was
taken as further evidence of his guilt.
Meanwhile, NJ. Scheurer-Kestner's la
mcntable failure to JUSTIFY the attitude he
has taken, together With General Billot's
outspoken declarations of belief on hi,
soul and conscience in the guilt of Drey-
fus has gone far to dissipate the fear
that the verdict of the rt-martial was
an error The French public has begun
10 breathe freely again in the general ex-
pectations that the result of the pending
inou1ry will amply demonstrate that no
such CO. oss sal in Justice was TO be expected.
The students demonstrations against the
FIGARO, which were absurdly exagge rated
by some foreign correspondent, were
simply the outcome of this feeling ebul-
lient in youthful breasts.
Ten wears ago a couple named Guerin,
the husband being a tax collector, retired
on a SIN all pension, founded very prI-
vate bank, the opject OF which was, they
said, to come to the aid OF high and
mighty ones of this earth in moments of
pecunIary difficulties, the high and

President of the republic and dozen or
so Of Ministers had recourse 10 the good
offices of the bank. and Guerin found
numbers of people willing 10 invest money
in such a pralseworthy and paying under
taking. and he continued for years 10 pay
