NEGROES FOR SANTIAGO.
One of the Cuban Papers Favors
Their Coming.

Their Coming.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA. November &c
The Bandera Guiana, a weekly paper of
this city, takes n view opposite to that
Of the other newspapers regarding the
importation into the island OF negro colo
nists from Kansas. The paper Gays that
all that should be required is that the
immigrants be Of good character and
willing 10 work, and declares further that
the Cubans have no right TO object TO the
immigrants on account Of their color.
as the negroes have made equally patriotic
efforts with the whites TO secure the
liberty OF Cuba. and consequently no OBJ
lection should be made TO the coming Of
good negro Colonists.
SUPREME COURT JUSTICES.
General Wood to-day appointed Edou-
ardo Tamayo Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court. and Seniors Jose Besala and
N. Mandulaya Associate Justices. The
Chief Justice will receive n salary of
$500 per annum, and each Of the Asso-
ciate Justices a salary Of 5000. These
are about half the salaries paid to the
Chief usuce and Associate Justices
during the Spanish regime, but owing to
the fact that the officials now receive full
pay, instead Of. as before. being paid less
than half Of their salaries, the positions
are ItdiiN MOANn iAbAt IMAM N'Nt "@
during the Spanish reign.
The men appointed are ~well-known Gu
bans. who have been connected with the
Bar Association of Santiago for years
and have held many important positions
and their appointment apparently gives
satisfaction to all classes OF the IN
habitants.

Three times a week a blackboard comes

usual an occupation, she replied:
""Why, / needed to do something to earn

me in fun one day how L would like TO

We LAND IN CHINA,
Marines from The Boston to
| Guard Our Legation
ARE NOT WELCOME THERE,
But We Are Only Doing What European
Powers Have Already Done:
~UNEASINESs AT WASEtNGTONs
Empress Dowager's R~eactionarT
Policy, 1t il Feared, May Afford
Pretext for n "Coup," With Results
Affecting Our Interests. h
UNEAsINEss AT WASHINGTON
Empress Dowager's ReactionarT
.

WASHINGTON, November S.-The
United States navy has landed marines in
China. A dispatch was received at the
Navy Department to-day, stating that tina
captain Of the Boston had landed his ma
rine guard at Tien-Tsin. The dispatch
was taken 10 the White House by Acting
Secretary Allen. Secretary Hay was CALI
ed into consultation, with the result OK
relieving the officials and allaying their
first feeling of apprehension. 1t seems
that the marines were landed. not be-
cause of any information Of riotlng, or
attacks upon American missionaries, pus
solely to act as a guard for the United
states Legation at Pekin.
The Boston was dispatched 10 the mouth
of the Pei Ho river several weeks agos
vat the instance of the United States Minis-
ter. Mr.. Conger. to provide u guard FOR
the legation. The Minister represented
that nearly all OF the legations OF the
European Powers were provided with ma
rine guards. and he did not care to be
| exceptional I'm this case. After lying az
Taku for awhile, the Boston worked her
way up the river to Tien-Tsin, about thu
head Of navigation for vessels or her
| class. and distant about fifty or sixty
miles from Pekin.
II is believed at the Navy Department.
that the marines will be sent forward
from that point in launches or small river
boats.
NOT MORE THAN "a MEN.
CAPTAIN Frank Witness. the commander
| Of the Boston, who reported tho landing
| to the Navy Department by cable, qua
| not state how many men were IN the
guard. but the force is not believed 10 OK
coed two dozen men.
The presence Of these foreign guards
IS not welcome to the Chinese Govern
meut. When the landing was first proposea
its representatives sought 20 dissuade inc
| United States Government from iniiicuns
this humiliation upon IL. The effect was
10 cause a suspension OF the execution Ok
tho purpose. but. as has been already
stated. most OF the European legations
have provided themselves with guarus'
and the Chinese Government, having DC
come reconciled to these. no longer Cd"
iected 10 their presence.
Advices that reach the state Depart
ment do not indicate an immediate OUT
break I'm China. but Che reactionary policy
~ tho Empress Dowager has caused u
very uneasy feeling. and may afford one
or more European Powers, VINO nave oseI
active I'm Eastern affairs, a pretext LOT
making a coup" with results afecuns
the interests of the United states.

Champagne the Article Used In Her
Chrfstening.

SAN FRANCISCO. November 26.-The
battleship Wisconsin was successfully
launched at s.22 this morning. When the
big vessel slid down the ways. the war
ships In the harbor fired ~salutes, and there
was a terrible din from the steam WINS
ties. The controversy over the klnd OF
wine to be used in the christening was
settled this morning by the use OF TWO
bottles OF champagne, one or French
make. provided by the Wisconsin Christi
ening Committee, and another or can
fornia champaign, provided by the Union
Iron-Works.
For an hour before the plunge a large
force of workmen tore away chock after
chock which supported the vessel. ana
they finished their work almost to the
minute OF the prescribed time for the
launching. leaving only one chock TO re-
tain the monster. and this was the sup
port that little Miss Lucille Gage. daugh-
ter of the Governor-elect. of the state,
had been assigned 10 remove, by means
Of a guillotine and the inevitable electric
button. At a given signal the little mss
pressed the button. and the crash Oh
breaking timbers announced to the thOu-
sands OF anxious spectators that the YES
sci was about to leave the way. Slowly
the iron monster moved toward the bay
and all eyes watched Miss Elizabeth
Stevenson break the bottle of champagne
| upon the bow Of the vessel.
Prior to the launching, a gigantic nag
| Of the Union. q feet long and 4 feet wide.
was presented. in honor of the Wisconsin.
The flag was the result of the combined
effort OF 300 children of the Irving NJ
Scott public school. Following the pre-
| sentatlon of the flag, a poem. ITO the
Wisconsin," was read by Miss Clara LA
| Price. it's author.

Lake Steamers Lost.

CHICAGO. November 26.-The binding
snow-storm which accompanied the
northerly gale Friday night, on Lake
Michigan and Lake Superior. proved dis
astrous to shipping. In The Manitou Pas
sage at the foot Of Lake Michigan, three
wooden steamers and a whaleback barge
are ashore, i'm a distance Of fifty miles.
A fourth steamer went ashore on the
south side of Lake Superior, but was re-
leased after sacrificing a large part Of
the cargo by throwing ii overheard. In
all these disasters but one life was lost.
The cargoes OF the four srain-laden
steamers still ashore amount To 84,WI
bushels of corn. The vessels themselves
are valued at 1895 900. and all belong to
the highest class.

AGUINALDo HEARD FROM AGAIN.
He Declines to Release Clerical ana
Civilian

.MANILA. PHILIPPINE ISLANDS, NO
vember ~26.-Aguinaldo, the %insurgent
leader, has addressed a second communl-
cation to Major-General Otis. the Ameri-
can military commander, on the subject
of the Spanish prisoners in the hands or
the insurgents. He has declined TO re-
lease the priests and civilians, arguing
that both carried arms voluntarily against
the insurgents. Aguinaldo then refers
General Otis to the local papers published
since the instruction for "irfefutable
proof" Of his assertion that the c~lericals
were the most active and vengetul agents
in sacrificing the lives and honor Of in
nocent natives.
Continuing, A~guinaldo quotes the rule
Of reprisal, claiming the right to detalh
the prisoners in the hope Of causing SPAN
'to liberate the Filipinos and cease tor
turing and shooting natives. whose only
crime has been the love Of liberty.
The insurgent leader. also maintains ms
RIGHT to detain the prisoners until the
Vatican recognizes the rights OF the
philippine clericals and civilians, or nul
h are exchanged.
The transport Arizona has arrived here
with reinfOrcements.
