Santiago de Cuba, Oct. 81 General
Wood, the acting military commander
here, and Major Brooks, had a narrow
escape Sunday evening from a serious
disaster. They had started down the
bay. on the way to MORO Castle, on
board a steam launch The engineer
carelessly started to fill the boilers
suddenly, while they were almost red
hot.
Major Brooks saw the danger, stop
ped the launch had the fire drawn, and
the launch was towed back to her star
ting place
The engineer was discharged. Ma
jors Starr and Brooks returned yester-
day from a trip to Baracoa, Sagua and
other places. They report that there
is no restitution among the Cubans at
the places visited and that the d;stri-
button Of free ratiOns is having a de-
moralizng effect upon the people, who
do not want to so to work on the
sugar estates, which, with other in
dustries. are badly i'm need of help, but
cannot obtain Workmen.

Wilmington, n. c., Oct. 31.-Advices
from Ashpole say the town is closely
guarded by whites and that all is
quiet.
-Four negroes who shot the three
white guards have been captured. They
were run down and brought to bay by
the bloodhounds which are thoroughly
trained.
The negroes are now confined in box
cars at Ashpole, and heavily guarded.
1t is uncertain yet what the fate of
the negroes may be. but it is feared
that their cOwardly attempt to assas-
sinate the guards will so eXasperate the
whites as to cause further and more
serious trouble.
The guard was composed Of eight or
ten men who We're standing around the
fire in the open air, thus becoming easy
targets for the negroes, who fired on
them under cover of darkness and then
fed.
The Ashpole incident has increased
the excitement at Wilmington, which
was already near the danger line.

Washington, Oct. 2S-'rhe president
yesterday considered a telegram from
General Wade at Havana recommend
ing that the limit of time allowed the
Spaniards to vacate Cuba be extended
from December l to January l.
He said that it would be practically
impossible for the 124 coo Spanish
troops to leave before the first of the
year. The recommendation was ap-
proved
In the meantime the United States
troops now in Cuba and others to be
dispatched. will take possession Of the
territory as fast as the SpaniarGs va
cate it. probably leaving Havana until
the last.
In regard to the reported purpose OF
the Spaniards to dsmOunt and remove
to Spain the heavy ordnance CT the
forts and arsenals about Havana, it is
said in positive terms that nothing Of
the kind will be permitted, and if this
movement had already begun, it would
be stopped at once.
The instructions given our evacua-
ton commissioners at Havana covered
all these questions and explicitly pro-
vided that only the arms in the hands
of the troops and what is generally I'M
derstood as "impcuiments' would be
permitted to be taken away.

Channel squadron which arrived at Gibral-
tar to-day, have been ordered home for
service, it is presumed, on auxiliary crus-
ers, if required for active service.
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
"England has been and even now is so
near war that the Government has carried
its preparations to the furthest limit of the
preparatory stage 1t has been arranged
to call out the reserves and militia and to
mobilize the volunteers simultaneously,
and to form large cemps at various i'm
portant railroad functions where rolling
stock and locomotives can be concen-

a sensation was caused to-day by the
arrest of supposed Russian spy at fort
near larwich. The man was already
under surveillance, and went 10 a redoubt,
where he tried to obtain from sentry in
formation regarding the fortincations.
There was an unexpectedly gloomy feel
ing on the Stock Exchange and the Paris
Eourse, both markets being influenced, it
is inferred, by the aggressive tone of some
of the French papers
