CARL MEIER CONVICTED.
One of the Longshoremen
Who Robbed Cases of
Freight on the Brem-
en- Dock.

Carl Meier, one Of the gang of long
shoremen on the Bremen dock In Hobo
ken, who are said to have been breaking
open cases of freight and stealing their
contents, was tried in the Special Ses-
sions Court yesterday on a charge of
larceny and receiving. On November 3,
Meier. took a big bundle to the house of
Mrs. Freida Burg, No. 257 First street,
where he formerly boarded, and asked
her to keep it for him until he called for
It, Mrs. Burg had been doing washing
for Meier occasionally after he had gone
to another boarding house. and she asked
him If the bundle contained clothes to be
washed. He said yes. but he did not
want her to wash them as he would not
get them back in six months.
That was a reflection on your ability
as a wash lady?'' remarked Assistant
Prosecutor Van Winkle.
Il guess So" replied the witness who
went on to tell that Detective Nelson call
ed at her house a day or two afterward
and found that the bundle contained lace
curtains and several dozen pairs Of socks
which had been imported on the steam
ship Lain.
The defendant said that the bundle had
been given to him By man named
steinbery who told him that he had
bought something for his wife, and he
wanted to give her surprise on her
birthday. AS he did not want to take
ldhe surprise home until the anniver-
sary Of the birthday arrived he asked the
defendant to take care OF 1t for him.
Meier was convicted.

charged with having been conceived in

Jail awaiting the action of the Grand

ANOTHER FALSE ALARM.
The Fiend Appears This Time
in the Old Horseshoe.


An alarm of fire was sent in from box
&c., at Grove and Thirteenth streets, last
night at eleven o'clock, and when the
engines arrived no fire could be found in
the vicinity. The false alarm fiend is
again at work, and this is the first time
that he has visited this part of the city
since the new system of breaking the
glass to get at the alarm was put in.
The Fire Commissioners, a short time
ago, announced that they would give
reward of 500 to any person that would
convict a person sending in false
alarm. The penalty for crime Of this
kind is two years in State Prison at hard
labor, and the Commissioners intend to
make an example Of the first person that
is caught. 1t Is not only an expense to
the department but the men are in dam
ger OF their lives every time they re.
spond to an alarm should any part OF
the apparatus break while they go dash
ing over the cobbestones.
It was in responding to such an alarm
that Battalion Chief Hogan met with an
accident which almost cost him his life,
he being injured so badly that he had to
remain at home for two months in bed.

CABINET IN SESSION.
Conditions in Porto Rico Dis
cussed-- Peace Commis-
sioners' Report.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Is, 1885, The
Cabinet session today was devoted to a
large extent TO consideration of COM
plants that have reached the War De-
partment alleging that state of prac-
tical anarchy prevails in Porto Rico.
These complaints asserted that the law
less elements in Porto Rico are commit
ting depredat tions of the gravest cilarac-
ter and that the seriousness OF the situa
ton is increased by reason of the fact
that United States roops stationed in the
island likewise have been guilty of mis-
conduct The Cabinet took cognizance of
the reports, and on ADJOURNMENT Secre-
tary Alger, at the instance of the Presi-
dent cabled General Brooks inquiring as
to the accuracy of the complaints.
During the meeting it was declared that
a long despatch from the American Peace
Commissioners at Paris was in process
of translation at the State Department.
1t is gathered from the few paragraphs
so far deciphered that the despatch re-
lates entirely to the presentation of the
Spanish case made on Wednesday last,
and contains neither new nor sensational
facts
The question of opening a port on the
western or southwestern coast of Cuba
was also under consideration. It appears
from information just received that there
are approximately 10000 Spanish troops
near Cienfuegos, which it was intended TO
occupy first. and this fact may neeessi-
tate the selevtion of another port. 1t Is
said that the planters in the interior of
the island are in great need of SUPPLIES
and machinery with which to make p the
present sugar crop. The plantations in
many parts of the island have been com
pletely devastated and the machinery
broken up in many parts of the island
and without a new supply can be had
very soon the crop in measure will be
lost
T,la rrasa,,oa Of fl,a Cna .,;st, +roone a
Cienfuegos has complicated matters and
the government is now undecided as to
what other port should be selected Glen
fuegos was regarded as a particularly de-
sirable port as from it q large part of
the island could be reached by rail.
The Spaniards, it seems, are disposed to
evaeuate Havana earlier than was ex-
pected but it IS said to be probable that
Cienfuegos will be one Of the last of the
large towns they intend to eyacuate. The
government Is now in com munieation

[By cable . rhe AssoeIatea presa.l

By Gable TO The Associated Press.
PARIS, Nov. IS, 1ssS.-There were three
official functions yesterday afternoon and
evening here which aroused considerable
interest among the American Peace Com-
missioners. The first was the bestowal
Of the Order of the Golden Fleece upon
President Faure. by the Queen Regent
of Spain, through the President of ths
Spanish Peace Commission, Senor Nom
tero Rios. The second was a, dinner given
by President Faure to Senor Montero
Rios and his fellow Commissioners. Final-
ly, at nine o'clock last night, President
Faure received the American Commits
sioners at the E1ysee Palace, where there
was a comic opera entertainment in thei9
honor.
There is some surprise expressed among
the members Of the American colony ut
the bestowal of the decoration upon the
French President at the hands of the
President of the Spanish Peace Commis-
sion at this moment, and others are ask
ing themselves whether the entertainments
as a sort of compensation to the Ameri-
cans whose sensibilities may have been
wounded by the hestowal of a Spanish
QCSOA dlAOll upon I y Oc1O1c l1lC COA-
ciusion of the peace negotiations.
The United States Commissioners are
devoting today, as they did yesterday, to
formulating their next presentation for
the consideration of the Spanish Conn
missioners.
While the Americans are reticent as to
their intentions, it may be said without
reserve that the occasion is near upon
which the exact peace terms acceptable
to the American Commissioners will be
laid before the Spanisrds with a time
limit for their acceptance.
AS previously indicated in these de-
spatches. the American Commissioners
win not involve the United States in any
obligation to the creditors of Spain in any
shape or form. In other words. the Amer
leans will not guarantee any of the
Spanish bonds. even though Spain may
have mortgaged as security the revenues
of territory to be taken by the United
States.
AS set forth in these dispatches on Oc-
tober 81 and previously, the United States
may now balance its war ledger. debitins
to Spain the value of the battleship
Maine, the cost of the naval and military
operations. the losses incurred by Aneri-
ean commerce and the future pension roll.
etc, while on the other side of the sheet
may be place spain's equities and values
in the Philippine Islands.
If difference is found to exist in favor
of Spain, this amount, in cash, may bs
offered her by the American Commis-
sioners at the next joint session here's
What this balance may be is not defi-
nftely known. but It may be about s2s,-
000.00e or possibly less. The Americans
may Also require until next Monday or
Tuesday to prepare the final preseptatien
OF their case which was understood at
the adjournment Of Wednesday last.
