 Money Convention, Issues Call.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 31.-H H.

THEIR LEADERS ARRESTED
And Have BSen Imprisoned in Moro
 Castle Many Christmas Riots.
CONSERVATIVE MAYORS REMOVED
Attention Called to Necessity of Sending Fifty Physicians Into the Interior With Med cine Chest and Vaccine Dying
 of Eamine and PestiIence.

Havana, via Key West, Fla, Dec. 31.- Details have been received from Spanish sources of conspiracy against Spanish rule, said to have been discovered in the province of Pinar del Rio. It is now stated. that 150O men employed in the fields of Clay, Brock & Co.,, tobacco grow CTS, and who had been disarmed, conspired to join the insurgents Their leaders have been imprisoned in Moro castle Christmas night there were riots similar to those which occurred at Havana, Matanzas and other towns. The demonstrations were in- tended as a protest against autonomy. At Matanzas crowds cheered for the United States, President Mckinley and annexa- ton.
 A majority of the conservative mayors have been removed from towns in the in- terior. They represent 75 per cent. of the tax payers letter from an important in- surgent chief says that about 15,0OO insur- gents and reconcentrados have died in Western Cuba up to Santa Clara. He also expresses regret at the suffering endured by the insurgents in the field.
 Dr. Delfin calls attention in the Dietro Di Li Marine to the necessity of sending apout fifty physicians into the interior of the island, provided WllH LlcuiCihe ChcSlo oiiN vaccine. This step, he says, is to save rom death innumerable human beings who are dying of hunger and neglect. Dr. Delf1n adds that over 5O0,eOo persons. mostly chil- dren and women, have died of famine in the fields It is not advisable, the Spanish say, to entrust the distribution of food and money to the reconcentrados.
 Besides the bangs of famine the recon centrados are suffering from smallpox, dys- intery cholera, etc., which threaten ex- termination
 Therefore. pr. Delfn says, 1t is necessary to send medicines with the food and phy- sicians.
 It is reported that an important engage ment occurred last Monday in the Muata mountains, province of Pinar del Rio, and that large numbers were killed on both sides One prominent insurgent was cap tured and brought to Havana, where he is imprisoned incommunicado.

WAGE SCHEDULE
 WILL BE LOWERED The Reduction Will Be General Throughout New England. NOTICES OF CUT POSTED At Fall RlV5r, Lowell, Manchester, Salem
 and Sunc0q' SsH. NEW BEDFORD S.s PROVIDENCE
 A Cotton Manufa : srs Have Joined in the Hf' Z" Movement.
The Initial Action in the Matter Was Taken by Fall River and Was Partly Due to Southern Competition - 0 .,sla-
 lures Were the Cause of It.

Boston, Dec. 31.-The action of the cot ton manufacturers in New Bedford and Rhode Island in deciding to join the move- ment to lower the wage schedule in Jan- uary, which was inaugurated by the big corporations of Fall River makes the re- duction practically general one through, out the New England states. Cotton mills in Fall River, Lowell, Manchester, Salem, Suncook N. H., and a number of smaller places have already posted notices of a re- duction amounting to from 10 to Il 1-9 per cent. In New Bedford 1t is understood the cut down applies to the cloth mills only. As far as known today the reduc- ton in all the mill centers applies to treas urers, superintendents, overseers and clerks, as we'll as to the spinners and other operatives.

ing celebrated in truly German style amid much merriment. Then float followed float in rapid succession.
 Six divisions of wheelmen, consisting of the marshal's staff military division, couriers' manufacturers divisions, the or ganizations and grotesque were in line and in front and behind of these were repre- sentatives of the volunteers in all depart ments, soldiers, firemen and others.
 Shortly after 10 o'clock some hundreds of solid looking citizens carrying Chinese lan- terms marched to a position of vantage in front of the city hall. They represented the singing societies of New York and Brooklyn. At 10:30 Hon. A. Green and Will liam Somner and Bruner Oscar Klein were escorted to the platform. MT. Klein was the judge of the choral singing.
 The choral society sang the German cho- rals in turn. but the immensity of the square and the footing horns drowned the songs of the singers before theys reached the throng. W
 After this ceremony the bombs placed on the lawn gave the signal that the parade was approaching, and one hour before mid night the first of the procession turned into the park A huge balloon with trailing light was sent up, and as it swept across the park a blazing American flag fioated down and remained burning until the bal loon went out of sight. The drizzling rain had turned to snow, but the great crowds remained surrounding the paraders, who had gathered in the park for the chief ceremony of the night At exactly 12 o'clock the searchlights on the neighboring buildings were turned upon the flag staff of the city hall. As the hands pointed the exact hour lit white ball was seen to climb the staff slowly The mayor of San Francisco had touched the button and the electrical current sent the furled flag of the city of New York to the tip top of the staff Here 1t broke open and swung to the breeze. Then bedlam broke 7oose. Hundreds of bombs were thrown into the air, sending down their showers of blazing stars and the salute of hundred guns was fired by the second battery of the national guard. Soon after the crowd disappeared.

Unless Five-Sixths of the Members of the Council Declare Otherwise.
THE BIG CELEBRATION LAST NIGHT
Vas in Honor of the Inauguration of Greater New York; the Worlds Second City Parade Under Auspices of The
 Journal and Advertiser.

New York, Dec. 31-The citizens of New York, which tomorrow win be the second city in the world, enter then upon what Is believed to be the greatest problem of municipal government ever presented. With the last stroke of the clock at midnight announcing the event of the new year, there will be born city such as the em- perors and kings of history would have deemed great for an empire. For six months until the machinery of the new municipality gets into motion the mayor of New York has the power of an autocrat. He may appoint officials with salaries run ming into the thousands with as lavish a hand as ever emperor treated his favor- ties. The mayor will appoint every de- partment head in the city except the con- troller, who Is elected for four years. He gill appoint all commissioners, all justices of inferior criminal courts, all the mem bers of the school boards, with the excep- tion of the commissioner of education; the justices of the special sessions and the police magistrates, and is given the power to remove any official in New York and appoint his successor.
 There are five burroughs in the Greater New York, namely Manhattan, Brook lyn, Bronx, Queens and Richmond. The municipal legislature consists of the corin- cil, with twenty-eight members, and a board of aldermen, with sixty members. The president of the council was elected by the people. The president of the board of aldermen will be chosen by the mem- bers of that body.
 Mayor Van Wyck is given power to veto any ordinance or resolution of either body of the municipal assembly unless five sixths of the members of both houses de- clare otherwise.
 Each of the five boroughs has a borough president, but his principal duty is to preside over the various local boards in his borough.

DECIDED TO REDUCE.
Cotton Manufacturers of Rhode Island Follow
 Fall Rivers Lead.

Providence, R. l., Dec. 31.-After delay ing their decision to the last, the agents of the leading cotton manufacturing corpora tions in this state, decided today to reduce wages. The cut-down will average about Il per cent. It will take effect Jan. IF, and notices to that effect will be posted Monday in the mills of B. B. and R. Knight, the Lonsdale company, the Manville, So- cial and other companies controlled by the Lippitts and the smaller corporations throughout the state.
 MT. J. w. Danielson of the Quinnebag company, Lockwood Manufacturing com- pany and other corporations with mills in eastern Connecticut, said the reductions would take effect at his mills on Jan. F. The other eastern Connecticut corporations will take similar action, and will be oper- ating about 100000 spindles in this state and Massachusetts, and the earnings of between 3O,O00 and 35,O00 operatives will be affected by this decision of the Providence agents. Many firms oppose the reductions and favor running shorter hours, but they say they cannot afford to keep up the cost of production and then curtail the output when the other mills are turning out the regular quantity at 10 per cent. below cost. The reduction will be on the same line as in other cities
 Col. R. H. I. Goddard, in discussing the cut down said 'I would have preferred to keep the wages where they are and run shorter hours for say four months, but as the rest decided to run full time we shall be obliged to do the same. No doubt the first action taken in FaM River was largely due to southern competition. The low wages and standard of living with the longer hours there make 1t very hard for us to compete with them. I do not think that the cotton manufacturing business will ever leave New England for the south, but things will have to equalize them selves"
 Mr. Robert Knight said: "We have got to do it to put ourselves on a level with the other manufacturers. We are opposed to 1t and do not believe 1t is going to bet ter conditions much. It only brings ten cents nearer the southern manufacturers. This is the key to the whole situation, and where today the southern mills are sold up and can go on making and selling at a profit, we are carrying stocks and when we sell cannot get back a new dollar for an old one. The legislatures have done much harm in the north by interfering and they have attempted more than they had any business to- and change will have ito be made in present laws or laws will have to be made in the south to regulate the working hours there.''

 The gold product of the United States for 1896 was $5S, 100 OO0; for 1897 it will ap- proximate $61 800 900, an increase of $s 40) 000
 The product of Africa for 1896 was $44,- 100000. Returns received up to Dec. 1. 1897, indicate that the gold product of that coun- try for the year will be s5s s,OoOOo0, an in- crease of $13,600,00O.
 The Australasia product for 1886 was si5- 200,O0O; for 1897, the indications are that it will not be less than s51 ,O0O ,OOO, an increase of $6,8OO,00O
 Mexico. for 1896, sS ,sS0 OO0;s for 1s97 it is estimated that it will be $lO,OOO 0OO, an in crease of $1,7Oo,OoO.
 The Dominion of Canada, for 1896, $2, ,SOo, = GOO; it is estimated for 1897 at $7,5OO, 900, or an increase of $4,7OO,O0O
 Indias product for 1897 is estimated at S7,500,O0O, an increase of $i 100000 over 1896.
 Russia's gold product for 1896 was $21,- 55o,ooO for 1897 it is estimated to approxi- mate $25, ,000, ,000, an increase of $3 3,500,000.
 The indications for the United States are that Colorado will lead in the production of gold for 1897, as it is estimated by ex- Gov Grant that it will not be less than $20, ,000,0O0 California will follow with a product of probably s19OO0,O0O. With the exception of the states south of the Ap- palachian range, it is believed that there will be an increase in every producing state and territory of the gold product over that of 1896.

EXIT OF OLD YEAR
And the Inauguration of Greater New York
 FttingIy Celebrated.

New York, Dec. S.-The exit of the old year and the inauguration of Greater New York was celebrated fittingly tonight. One of the events that marked the occasion was a grand parade conducted under the auspices of the New York Journal and Ad- vertiser. The scene in city hall park pre- vious to the arrival there of the procession was spectacular and brilliant. Although the head of the parade was not expected to reach that point much before midnight, the park was crowded as early as 8 o'clock.
 Old city hall was brilliantly illuminated with strings of electric lights, beautifully colored electrical shields and American flags, composed of revolving lights On the dome of the municipal building were placed eight search lights that flashed in all di- rections and cut across the lights that blazed their rays from the roofs of the postoffice and newspaper buildings. Many of the buildings surrounding the park were decorated with handsome electric devices, while several bands of music vied with bearers of trumpets and tin horns to en- certain the populace.
 In the front of the city hall main en- trance g platform had been erected for the accommodation of the judges selected to award the various prizes. It was prettily decorated and surrounded by myriad of electric lights.
 Notwithstanding the warning elements and the announcement made in the early afternoon that the carnival and parade would be postponed, a great crowd of mer ry-makers, maskers, wheelmen and mem oers of various societies with numberless floats met at the rendezvous around Union Square ready to march through the rain and mud to honor the old city and welcome the new.
 Col. George Moore Smith, of the Sixty ninth regiment, acted as marshal, and promptly at 1o:15 o'clock the order to march was given. The crowd at the start ing point was enormous.
 Following the police escort came the marshal and his aides, and they were fol- lowed by Fancuilli's band, the leading Chicago delegates, who were in fine opera carriages. Next in line were several uni- formed bodies of men. consisting of the Robert Anderson battery, Veteran firemen, Irish volunteers and the naval battalion. The German societies joined in the pro- cession at Fifteenth street. Following them was an immense float representing the Brooklyn bridge, with cables or ever green on which the wedding of Father Knickerbocker and Miss Brooklyn was be-

New Coke Ovens

Bristol, Tenn, Dec. S1.-The new year promises much for the coal and coke de- velopments in Wise county, Virginia. The Virginia Coal and Iron company, which has already built 800 coke ovens. expects to build 200 more between this and June. This company is also preparing to open two or three coal mines of different varieties for shipping purposes. By the middle of the year there will be at least 1000 coke ovens in blast in Wise county. Only one who has seen can fully appreciate the magnitude of the business being carried on in that county.
