Mismanagement Alleged and Change
of Governors Recommended.
New York, Dec. 30.-The Herald to-
day says: The following resolution
has been adopted by the board of trus-
tees of Sailors Snug Harbor:
"RESOLVED, That it is the judg-
ment of the board of trustees that the
administration of the harbor should
be changed as soon as it can be eff
fected consistently with the proper
care of the institution"
This resolution was the outcome OF
the investigation which has been go
ing on fort he past month into the af-
fairs OF the harbor, charges having
been made against the governor OF the
harbor, ID. +. G. Trask, on the score
of mismanagement of the institution
and ill-treatment of the inmates.
1t was ON account of a personal APP
peal by Rev. Morgan Dix that time
was given for Gov. Trask to hand in
his resignation. A copy of the reso-
luton as adopted will be sent to Gov.
Trask and it is announced thGt If his
resignation is not Forthcoming his dis

TROUBLE IN SALVADOR.
L. s. Gunboat Marietta Ordered to

New York, Dec. 30.-A special TO
the Herald from Washington says:
Salvador is threatened with another
revolution. To protect American in

the request OF the state department.
has telegraphed orders to the gun
boat Marietta, which is at Mare Is
land. directing her to proceed as soon
as possible to La Libetad, and remain
until further orders.
The importance of this action will
be appreciated when it is understood
that the Marietta was being fitted for
service In Chinese waters.
The information upon which the
state department acted came from
John Jenkins, consul at San Saliva
dor. who cabled:
The condition of affairs in Saliva
dor is alarming; send warship."
The navy department does not ex-
pect the Marietta TO leave Mare Is

ROUGH BUT PLAIN.

A British Laborite on American Pol
itics of the Working Glass.
New York, Dec. 30.-Edward Har-
ford, who, with Havelock Wilson, NJ.
p, constituted the British Trades
Union delegation to the Nashville con-
vention of American Federation of La
Dor, sailed for Southampton today.
Before sailing Hartford said: The
policy of the American Trades Unions
is not engaging in politics as a body
is stupid. How can they expect to
obtain any lasting reforms if they
hold aloof? BY pursuing their pres
ent mummy plan of ignoring control
of the political machinery as means
OF lettering their condition they not
only fatally ignore their chances but
invite the scorn of politicians, the very
class from whom theyexpect to get
better laws for the masses.
"YOur American politician as rule
is moved TO legislation for the masses
only by 4 show of superior force. Ex-
aIted feeling, he has none. Let the
trades unions force this style of pup
pet into retirement and send men to
the boards of aldermen, legislatures
and Congress who will not pretend to
be friends of the people in speeches
and in secret sell out to corpora tons
and money power. Things in Eng
land used TO be such as they are in
the United States now, but they have
changed. We trades unionists go
right into politics and we have sue
ceeded in making the political parties
..lere defer TO us and why should We
not? We are the majority. In every
country the workers are the majority.

the Field.
New York, Dec. 3O.-A dispatch to
the tribune from Havana says: Gen.
Blanco, on his arrival two months ago,
probably anticipated less need OF a
vigorous military campaign than he
now feels.
1t was not unreasonable to hope Tor
a response to policy of Cancellation
and persuasion. Though one article
of the program, the succor OF the re-
concentrates, has failed as a govern
ment measure, of relief, the promise
of amnesty has been kept. The pris-
ons are really being vacated by the un-
willing tenants with whom Gen. Wey-
Ter peopled them. But the declared
intention of pressing active military
measures is an admission of the fall
ure to win the Insurgents back from
the field. A frank acceptance Of this
fact might prepare the ministerial
party of Madrid for patient waiting.
A report has been made up purport-
ing adhesion to the new policy. 1t
purports to give list Of Insurgents
who have surrendered and includes
the chiefs, along with the rank. The
list is not important enough to call
for analysis. AS in all official re-
ports the majority of the persons pre-
senting themselves turn out to be re-
concentrates and children.

BIG BUNCO BUSINESS.
Reed is in it, Having Cot Away With
s250.OOO.

Boston, Dec. 30.-In connection
with the case of John Reed, the al
legged bunco man who has been sever
al times arrested within the past few
days on charges of swindling, the
Globe says that Cambridge man
who went bond for Reed says there
is half million dollars behind Reed
to secure his freedom from the charg-
es pending against him, The sugges-
ton is that there is regular syndi-
cate back of him, which is willing to
put up any amount of money rather
than 10 have their operations expos
ed. Ii is now believed by officers
who have had much to do with the
case that Reeds real name is George
Spencer. A full description Of Spen.
Ger has just been received here from
the west and it is said to fit Reed to
a dot. Spencer has been indicted in
seventeen states and has, with his as
sociates separated more than $780,

GER - known to have had as his pal
in many of his operations Little Lou

sation with Ludlum. Most of those

they were the pictures of Reeds con

II the belief of certain officials is
true, that Reed and Spencer are the
same, it explains the vigorous at
tempts which have been made on the
part of Reeds friends to have him

courts of the state.

ARANGUREN TELLS IT.
He Wanted Col. Ruiz Not To Come TO
His Camp.

New York, Dec. 30.-The following
letter from Col. hester Aranguren has
been received by the Herald:
There have come to my hand copies
of papers printed in New York, and l
am sorry to see how an act has been
judged which is of such importance to
the cause Of Cuban independence.
This is not the time for me to de-
fend my fellow countrymen by means
of the press. History will judge the
facts and the world will pass judg-
ment. l wish, however, to refute the
caluInny which has been exposed to
civilization, that the bearer of a flag
of truce was executed when he enter
ed our ranks under white flag. 1t
is false, thousand times false.
''Lieut. Col. Ruiz wished to have an
interview with me and did not grant
it, because 1 knew he wanted to talk
about my accepting autonomy. know
that word was sent to him to give it
up, and his friends in Havana advised
him also to give it up. He, however,
persisted, and his temerity lost him
his life.
Il cannot be unfaithful to my oath
to die or to obtain independence from
the Spanish yoke, which but four days
previously had signed together with
my companions in the arms of this
province, in the protest issued. AS
soldier It was my duty to order YER
bal court-martial, which tried Lieut..
Col. Ruiz and had him executed.
1.-The said Lieut.. Col. Ruiz entered
our camp guided by two Spanish guild
es, who were deserters from our fore
es, and without any flag of truce, or
documents of any kind other than
what has already been said. AS soon
as he came to my presence he COM
menced before my officers and troops
to make us promises of pardon and
amnesty, and to offer us autonomy.

EIGHT HUNDRED BUILDINGS
BURNED AND 1000 PEOPLE
ARE HOMELESS.
Property Losses Reach a Million and
A Half Water Supply Was Short
And Firemen POwerleSS-- Hotels
And Churches Are All
Swept Away.

New York, Dec. 30.-According to a
Port-Au-Prince, Hayti, correspondent
Of the Herald the confiagration Of
Tuesday night, followed so quickly
by an earthquake shock, caused a
terrible panic among the citizens.
Many blocks Of buildings are in
ruins as a result Of the fire. About
500 houses were reduced to ashes,
four thousand persons were made
homeless and the financial loss is es-
timated at more than $1,000, 900.
Clouds of heavy smoke hang over the
stricken city, and fear and apprehen-
sion run riot.
A great majority of the buildings
of Port-Au-Prince are of wood. The
flames once started and famed by a
slight breeze gained Roadway with
wonderful rapidity. Hampered as
they were by an insufficient available
water supply, the firemen were at a
tremendous disadvantage, and as the
flames swept steadily forward, lick
ing up building after building there
was a fear, not entirely grOundless
that the entire city would be swept
away. This precipitated the panic.
The fire started in the business part
of the town about IL o'clock. The
flames gained good Roadway before
discovered, and when the alarm was
given more than one building had
been practically consumed. The fire
fighters paid scant attention to these,
but directed their attention to ada
but directed their work at once TO adj
jacent buildings in an effort to save
them. Hose was run out and con-
nected with the nearest reservoirs
and axes were called into use.
As the firemen fought, aided by
scores of citizens, the flames spread
steadily. Portions of houses were
cut away and they were flooded in
side and out with water, but flying
sparks baffied the best efforts Of the
workers. After an hour or so the
water supply began to diminish.
Port-Au-Prince was practically at the
mercy of the flames within another
hour.
Many warehouses were laid in
ruins, a hotel caught fire and was
speedily destroyed and within a few
minutes the flames had eaten their
way to the church of st. Joseph.
This edifice and the attached parson-
age went down before the roaring
sheets.
Then a portion of the residential
part of the city was attacked. Res
licences, fifmsily constructed of light
material, burned like finder.
By this time the fear that the en-
tire city would go become general.
A panic began, and men, women and
children, many half clad, poured
through the streets, pell-mell, frenz-
led with fear and shrieking, weeping
and praying. Thousands saw their
homes burn to ashes.
All available aid had been called in
the meantime and the work of re-
stricting the flames to certain area
began.
Houses were cut away and the
flames were kept within this area.
Then with cordons Of men surround
ing the burning area, the flames were
allowed to do their work. y
Four thousand persons are home
less around the blackened and sm0k-
ing ruins of their residences. Several
foreigners are among these. }s@
