BESSEMER'S DONATION.
Site Offered the Addyston Pipe Con-
 pany Most Valuable One.

Bessemer, November 4.-(Special.) 1.-The site offered by the Land and Improvement company to the Addyston Pipe and Steel company of Cincinnati, whose president, D. McLaren, accompanied by a prominent di- rector, w. J. Lippincott, is now in this sec- ton looking for des rable site for the loca- tion of a plant, consists of eighty acres just to the southwest of the large pipe works formerly known as the Howard-Har- rison Iron company, but now incorporated in the American Pipe and Foundry com pany.
 It Is hard to see how the Addyston people could find a more desirable site than that olIered them here. The land is nearly ali level, and Valley creek passes through 1t. The Mineral road passes just to one side of it and a branch of the Alabama Great Southern passes through it.
 The site is easily accessible at compar- atively no expense to every road in Besse- mer. The plant would have the product of seven furnaces within mile and half from which to select it's raw product. Its proximity to the Blue Creek coal mines as well as to the Belle Ellen mines. the property of the Bessemer Land and Im- provement company, would insure 1t q plentiful supply of coal and coke and at the lowest possible rate.

SPANISH REGULARS
Mutinied and Demanded Their Pay Be
 fore Embarking for Spain.

Key West. Fla, November 14.-Prlvate reports from Puerto Principe and Neuvitas, Cuba, say that 1000 regular Spanish sol diers mutinied, demanding their pay before embarking for Spain. About 4,O00 armed soldiers, the reports add, presented them selves in front of the palace, calling on the military governor, Emilio March, for their overdue pay. Thereupon General March drew his sword and ordered them to dis band.
 The soldiers, however, refused to obey and some of them, armed with loaded rifles, threatened the life of General March, who returned his sword to its scabbard, crying out: ''Do you wish to kill me? Well, kill me-
 The soldiers in reply shouted: No; no; we only want our pay before embarking for Spain."
 General March promised them that they would be paid and the soldiers returned 10 their quarters peaceably.
 The steamer Alava left Havana four days ago with $150,00O with which to pay those soldiers who were to embark immediately for Spain.
 The cruiser Alfonso XII and the gum boats Condo de Venadito and Infanta Isa- bel have proceeded for Neuvitas to compel the soldiers to embark, after which they will proceed to Gibara for like purpose and will then go to Spain unless receiving contrary orders

more elaborately, as follows: "I have no doubt that If aroused as l was to the ne- cessity he could have done as much as l did. The indications were probably more marked to me than my predecessor, De- cause my experience as inspector-genefai prepared me for detecting conditions which might have escaped others. Consequently there was condition there which l do not believe was conceived of by those preeed- ing me-"
 Returning to the question of passes to visit Chattanooga Dr. Conner asked If the conditions in that city were not such as to injure the morale of the army.
 General Breckinridge replied that such was the case "but you can't make prison out of a camp"
 Continuing he said the town was run "wide open," and 1t was impossible to keep the men in their camps under the circum- stances.
 General Brecknridge said there was such a division of duties and responsibilities that it was difficult to know to whom to give in- structions. He gave an illustration of the defects of the system which had occurred when he was there on an inspection tour in May. He found typhoid fever patient lying in a wagon outside a hospital who was refused admission for two hours until an order could be secured from Colonei Hartsuff, chief surgeon of the camp. in spite of an appeal to the commanding gen. eral. The relation of this incident led to a line of questioning concerning the duties of inspection which brought out replies of con- siderable interest because of the fact that General Breckinridge is inspector-general. He stated that previous to the beginning of the war order was issued requiring inspectors-general to make their reports to the adjutant-general instead of the head of their own department leaving him nothing to do unless he went into the field and making a hiatus in the work. As conse- quence conditions were not made plain As a matter of fact he said this commission is now doing what the inspector-general should have done three months ago.
 General Breckinridge had not concluded his testimony when the commission ad- journed for the day.

situation in Santiago was bad, but by

point of view. He said the troops had

they were feeling very cheerful The
water supply for the Spanish troops is
getting quite bad and the amount of it
is somewhat limited, although, up to
this time, there has been no serious
distress on this account. Deserters
from the ranks Of the Spanish volun-
teers continue, and it is now said that
fully 5000 men, who agreed to fight for
Spain, are out of the city. A party Of
500 cavalry left the city Sunday morn
ing, marching in the direction of HoI-
guin. The Spanish infantry have re-
moved all light articles from the
trenches, to facilitate their move
ments in case the bombardment Of the
city is determined upon.

There was ample evidence here today
of the belief that preliminaries looking
to a cessation of hostilities with Spain
are actually on. When 1t became
known that the French ambassador
was in conference with the president,
it was at once surmised that France
had taken the initiative, and had In
structed it's representative in the Unit
ed States to make known to the gov
ernment here that France had been
authorized to act in behalf of Spain.
The officials who vouchsafed any in
formation on the subject secuted the
proposition as unworthy of as much as
passing consideration. They said that,
under the circumstances, France would
be the last of all the powers to offer
to intermediate, with any hope Of
successful issue. And this position Is
regarded as most tenable by those who
discussed the peace outlook at the de-
partment and In public places today
and tonight. In order to quiet the eX-
citement aroused by the incident, it
was semi-officially given out that the
French minister did not refer to the
war during his stay at the White house.
And yet the incident shows how the
public mind is bent on the subject. The
belief that peace is in sight grows
stronger every day.

regularity occurred at the time the
ships Of Admiral Cerveras feet haul
ed down their colors and surrendered.
Inquiry developed the fact that the
breechblocks of the guns were thrown
overheard, thus disabling the guns
and making them practically worth
less, and the valves by which the
ships were flooded were opened after
the surrender, while, under the rules
of warfare, the enemy had ceased
fighting and had asked for quarter. 1t
Is said that further destruction of the
ships at such a time was both wanton
and dishonorable, and that If the per-
