at Havana.

the departure had been delayed on
that account.
The official advices from Havana re-
ceived by the Spanish minister, Dupuy
de LONE, continue to be reassuring. a
dispatch sent at s o'clock last evening
said that the city was perfectly quiet.
Another dispatch, sent shortly after
midnight and received early this morn
ing, stated that few people gathered
in the public park about 10 o'clock last
night. There was no demonstration,
and under ordinary circumstances no
attention would have been given to the
gathering, as the park is at a central
public part Of Havana. AS a matter of
precaution, however, the patrol of SOL
diers on duty asked the people to move
away, and this they did without demon
stration or the exercise of any force
By Il o'clock the troops were back in
their quarters.
AS no further adviceS were received
up to noon, it was taken for granted
by Senior de Lone that the Havana
authorities have no apprehension, and
that the situation was quiet. No sur
prise would be felt, however, if there
were sporadic gatherings of groups in
city Of Havana's size, particularly on
Sunday. 1t is custom for the people
to make a holiday of Sunday and the
streets are usually filled with those
otherwise engaged during the week.
The customary outpouring of the peo-
pie will occur tomorrow, and it may
serve as an incentive for the congre-
eating of groups, but it is said that
this should not be misconstrued into
popular demonstration. and no uneasi-
ness whatever is felt that it will be the
occasion of anything more than few
vivas, even if that much occurs
During the afternoon, the minister
was in receipt of advices from Senor
CCngosto showing that up to o'clock
the city of Havana had been absolutely
calm. The new minister of the interior
Senor Gown, had arrived andeh had
a respectful reception. Later he took
the cath of office.
A private telegram received by the
minister tonight confirms the reports
heretofore at hand that Senor Gown,
the minister Of the interior, had been
well received on his arrival at Havana
The latter was confident that au-
tonomy would prove successful and eX-
pressed his conviction that the gov
ernment at Washington looked upon
the new scheme with great favor
Spain was sincere in her efforts to give
autonomy to the island and she could
not go backward on the step She had
taken.

been entrusted to me. I have no other
ambition than to contribute, by my
utmost efforts, to render more init

United States. / feel that by so doing
I will answer to one of the dearest
wishes of the French nation, and to the

The president replied as follows: 'It
affords me great pleasure to greet you
as ambassador Of the French republic
to the United States, and to receive
from your hands the letters whereby
the president Of the republic accredits
you in that high office. From the dawn
of their national lire until now. the
people of the United States have cher

erhood and esteem for the great French
nation, Whether as allies III the common
cause of liberty, as generous rivals in
the paths of modern advancement, or
as communities governed by the broad
principle of self-rule. For feelings like
these there can and should be no back
ward path. On the contrary 1t Is the
patriotic duty of all to strengthen their
bereficent influence for the future and
to that end l welcome your, cordial
offer of concurrence. The high per-
scnaI regard which your predecessors
have deservedly won in their inter-
course with our government and with
my countrymen gives assurance, MI.
Ambassador, that you will enjoy the
same friendship and esteem, and 1 and
my associates in government will glad

will convey to the president of the

LONDON, Jan. 15.-The new phase
ed is a distinct advance. The era of
the secret court martial is over, and
a civil and public court will have to
investigate Emile Zola's charges OF
persistent distortion Of justice. The
behavior of military authorities in
"burking' the inquiry casts the grav-
est reflections upon the oft-asserted
honor of the French army, which has
shown an obstinate determination to
stick together, right or wrong. Outside
of France, all Europe believes Dreyfus
is the victim of a villainous conspir-
acy, and the prosecution of Zola has
broadened the question, for the whole
French army is now virtually placed
on trial. The gravity of the situation
is enhanced because the whole of
France is in a state of growing hys-
terical excitement. Temporarily, the
republic is generally supported
throughout the country; but history
shows that similar hysteria has fire.
quently led to violence and chaos. When
France is able to analyze the situation
and should the suspicion spread that
the honor of the army is really af-
lSclSU, lliS consequences " I1lC ASppip-
lie might be of the most serious de-
scription. The Panama scandals have
defiled political life, and the law courts
have been discredited; therefore, if re-
spect for the army must also be sur
rendered, the desire to change the gov
ernment may be irrepressible, in which
case the temptation for the leaders to
divert the attention of the country to
a foreign war will be we'll nigh ire
sistible Hence the deep interest of
Frances neighbors.
For the moment the intense excite
ment will probably find an outlet in
the renewal Of the spectacle presented
during the liveliest days of Boulanger-
ism. Hot alterations in the streets
leading to assaults are frequent, the
police are guarding the houses of prom
inent Dreyfusians, and it is impossi-
BILE to foresee where the arrests will
end. Slander and denunciation are so
rampant that the authorities are TAX
ing special precautions to prevent the
calumniated from taking the law into
their own hands. Duels have already
resulted. A monster manifestation IS
preparing in Paris for Sunday. AL
legedly it is anti-Dreyflsion. Really, it
is anti-Semitic, and unless prohibited
it is feared serious riots may be the
sequel.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The new
presented to President Mckinley today
at II o'clock. The presentation was
performed by Secretary Sherman, who
did not receive the ambassador at the
state department according to the US
ual custom, but met him at the White
house. M. Cambon was accompanied
by Paul LIE Faivre, who has been the
charge of the embassy since the depar-
ture of M. Patenotre, and also by three
other members of the embassy staff,
all arrayed in full uniform and making
an impressive spectacle on the broad
portico Of the White house. The party
was received in the Red parlor by the
president. The speeches were a little
out of the ordinarYrun of common
places, from the fact that they breath
ed on both sides an attachment grow
ing out of the ancient alliance of the
United States and France.
The ambassador said: "I have the
honor to place in your hands the letters
by which the president of the French
republic accredits me as ambassador
to the United States. The sentiments
of sympathy and friendship which unite
our two nations are founded on histori-
cal traditions, which constitute their
glory in the past Time has but
strengthened them The future will,
1 have no doubt, see them still Deepen

public has been pleased to instruct me
to convey to you the expression of his
wishes for your personal welfare and
for the prosperity of the United States
It is for me great honor to be his

The correspondent of the Associated
Press learns that the whole of Trans
Caucasia, including the big province Of
Turkestan, will shortly be placed un-
der the control of a governor-generaI,
probably Russian grand duke, who
will have practically unlimited mill

lieved that by such a measure the well

inhabitating territory separated from
the central government by thousands
Of miles, can better be assured
The changed relations between China
and Germany are strikingly shown in
the fact that the new Chinese ambas-
sador, who has just arrived, is accred-
tied to Berlin only, and not to several
courts as heretofore, and his corps of
secretaries and attaches has been in
creased from six to thirty. The exist
ing commercial treaty with China will
be retained, although in an interview
with the correspondent of the Associat-
ed Press the ambassador said: by
the desire Of both countries some modi-
fications will be negotiated"
TREATY CHANGES.
Generally speaking, Germany is sat
1sfied with the old treaty but she de-
sires certain improvements in regard
to the admission of German stoneware,
lamps, notions. ETC., while China wishes
better terms in regard to the duty on
teas" The ambassador is delighted
with his reception by Baron Won Bue-
low, the minister for foreign affairs,
which has confirmed the statement
that the relations between China and
Germany are excellent, notwithstand-

most fertile province of the Egyptian

their government. If this is true, and
the declarations of successive British
cabinets mean anything, M Hanotaux,
the French minister for foreign affairs,
has brought about a casus belli Thus
far M. HanotauX seems to have the
advantage, but the game is dangerous.
Fear of war with France will not stop
Great Britain from recovering the
whole Egyptian Soudan and driving out
any French expeditions which may be
found there when, in the opinion of the
Marquis of Salisbury, the proper time
has arrived. In the meantime Prince
Henry of Orleans is fitting out, at Mar

Of the government, an armed expedi-
ton to subdue the equatorial provinces
which the Negus presented claiming
they had belonged to Abyssinnia in pre-
historic times; but in reality these
provinces are Identical with those
Egypt SO. perhaps, there is some truth
in the story that the activity of the
British is due to the Egyptian intelli-
gence department learning that the
French Abyssinnian troops have reach
ed Fashoda, that King Menelik is pre-
pairing reinforcements with the inteu-
ton of following up the success, and
that common policy, which is morally
supported by Russia, unites France
and Abyssinnia.
There are persistent reports Of grave
troubles threatening Persia. The Shah's
sovereignty has always been shaky,
and it is now affirmed to be rapidly
slipping from his grasp. Indeed, the
situation at Teheran is described as
being SO precarious that a coup d'etat
may be precipitated at any moment.
Probably the murder of Greaves, the
English telegraph operator, and the
outbreak at Mekran are connected with
the tendency to revolt in Persia. 1t
is believed in we'll informed circles that
the dispatch of Indian troops to the
Persian gulf is due to general unrest

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan 15.-A

In TERROR.

KEY WEST. Fla, Jan. 15.-Passen-
gers who have arrived here from Ha-
vana tonight report that Capt. Gen.
Blanco has been threatened by an at
tack from the mob, and is mobilizing
his loyal forces to be ready for any
such demonstration. Most of the news
papers have been compelled to suspend
publication, and those that are publish
ed are compelled to have their matter
examined before using it.
Capt. Calvo and others who were
leaders in the recent raids upon the Of
fees of the newspapers Diario de la Ma
rina, La Discussion, and Ell Reconcen-
trado will be prosecuted for their con-
nection with the disturbances. Over
500 army officials, it is said, will plead
guilty to being connected with the dem
onstration. The volunteer officers, it is
also reported, intend to assemble and
plead guilty of participation in the at
tacks upon the newspaper offices. The
editor of Ell Reconcentrado has been
in hiding since the beginning of the
rioting Last night a fire was noticed
at Caimato, rear Havana. A rumor
has been in circulation that the rioting
would be resumed tonight, and contin-
ued all day tomorrow.
NORFOLK, Va, Jan. 15.-There has
be en- n movement of the fleet in Hamp-
ton Roads, and it said it will not sail
before tomorrow. The New York
Massa chusetts and Iowa are victualing
off Old Point.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Up to a
late hour the state department had re-
ceived no advices under today's date
from Consul General Lee at Havana.
Late last night Gen. Lee sent a dis
patch saying that everything was
quiet, and that the theaters and places
of amusement were open. There were
no signs of agitation over the situa-
ton in Havana at the state or navy
departments today. The navy depart
ment had news of the sailing from Key
West for Navassa of the cruiser Mar
blehead This was in pursuance of or
ders given more than week ago and
corroborateg the statement given out at
the navy department to the effect that
there had been no changes in the or
ders to our warships on account of the
Havana riot. Otherwise it would
scarcely be expected that the Marble
head should be allowed to depart for
a port more remote from Havana than
is Key West The Marblehead is ex-
pected to be absent about a week,
making the investigation which has
been ordered into the allegation that
the laborers on Navassa island have
been inhumanly treated by their
superintendents. No notice came of
the sailing of the North Atlantic squad
ron from Hampton Roads at 10 o'clock,
as planned, and it was at once assum-
ed that the weather was thick and that

places a portion of the Queen City
mill operatives al Burlington, VT, are
already out. Today notices of a 10
per cent reduction were posted at the
Atlantic and Pacific corporations of
Lawrence. A dispatch from that city
states that the other cotton mills there
viii undoubtedly follow. They employ
about 10000. The reduction in most OF
the New England mills amounts either
to 10 or II 10 per cent.

PEKIN, Jan. 15.-Germany has de-

Kiao-Chou and a large area surround

is reported that a railroad from Kiao-
Chou to Binan-Fuhe has been agreed
to, the Germans acquiring mining
rights for a mile on each side of the
