The rise of panic and the involved
method in which an absolute mon
archy compounds with truth to quell 1t,
is aptly illustrated in an incident OF
the days preceding the riots in Con
stantinople in 1896. Two men got in
to a quarrel in the street, and one
knocked the other down. The passers-
by ran to get out of the way of the
blows which followed, and others, see
ing the flight, ran also. Soon the Wild
est confusion resulted. Outside shut
ters were put up, shoppers forced into
the street and swept along with the
crowd. The great bridge, over which
masses the most cosmopolitan crowd IN
the world was torrent of rushing hui
manity. Women failing in strength
dropped into doorways and alleys to
avoid being trampled to death A
little later the government sent out
heralds announcing that lion had es-
caped from a menagerie and caused
the panic; but that he had been re
captured and all danger removed. a
few weeks afterward occurred 'he ter
rible riots and the massacre "hich

banquet given Saturday night by the
Lotus club, at their magnificent home
on Fifth avenue. Seated at the board
TO greet him were gentlemen proml-
uent in the Spanish-American war and
well known in professional and com
mercial circles.
The banquet room of the club WAS
richly decorated with cut flowers.
palms and potted plants. and immedi-
ately behind the admiral's chair We're

flag which the admiral brought back
from Santiago.
Seated at the guests table were Bisl-
op Potter, Admiral Erben. Captain
Sigsbee, Chauncey NJ. Depew Colonel
Robert G. Ingersoll, Rev. Minot j.
Savage. Captain \. t. Mahan and Ad-
miral Schley.
When Admiral Schley arose to
speak he was accorded tremendous
ovation.
In the course of his remarks the ad-
miral told of two strange incidents in
connection with the battle of July Bird
off Santiago After stating that ii had
been the intention of Admiral Cervera
TO make his dash out of the harbor on
the night of July Bird. Admiral Schley
said:
In some of the strange emotions of
telepathy | felt on that night that an
outward movement had been deter
mined upon and decided to connect the
after and forward engines of my ship:
yet ! feared to be caught in an opera
tion of nearly an hour but | was told
that the full speed of four engines and
one-half boiler was greater than two
engines and fun boiler power. so I
risked it. Much has 10 be risked in
battle. 1t appeared that at the very
hour / was occupying my mind with
this question Cervcrn had planned his
attempt to escape.
Another curious incident followed
their army's retreat to the hills west
of Santiago when our army was clos
ing rapidly about them. The insur-
gents took possession of Spanish block
houses to the number of six and
burned them. That was the number
of ships in Cervera's fleet and lie
thought it was a signal to us of their
Intended movement, so he thought TO
fool the Yankees and remain until the
following day. That little fact deter

Charged That the Military Authorities

Paris. Nov 26.-Thc Picquart case
seems in the way of raising even n
greater storm than the Dreyfus affair.
The papers favorable To the general
staff are dumb in the face of the bare
faced decision of the military governor
of Paris, General Iurlinden, to try Col
oncl Picquart by court martial, while
those favoring revision are furious ut
this new attempt to defeat justice and
protest against the court martial bein.
ordered
Nobody believes that Colonel Pic
quart is guilty of any crime except II
courageous desire to render justice to
Drcyfus. but on all sides it is recog-
nized that, in Il practically secret trial,
he may be condemned on some tech
nicality, thus attaining the apparent
object. which is 10 throw doubt upon
his dispositions before the court of ces-
Sation in the Dreyfus trial.
Every one is asking the motive of
General Zurlinden, in so persistently
pursuing Colonel Picqual-, and why Il
court martial, if necessary, could not
be postponed until the decision of the
court of cessation has been given. Ev-
eryone is asking whether it is n deS-
perate attempt TO shield the former
minister of war, General Mercier. and
the general staff. even mt the risk of
precipitating disaster and the nations
hatred. and in any event of driving
every doubling person into the Drcy
fusite party.

U. S. MIGHT WANT TO BUY.
Belief In Washington Anent Philippine rs
uAIin t.nG Pelcw Group.

New York, Nov. 25.-A dispatch To
the Herald from Washington says.
There is reason to believe that the adj
ministration would be willing to pur
chase from Spain not only the Philip
pines and Ualan island. but all of the
Carolines and the Pelew group.
Much regret is felt in official circles,
particularly among naval men. at the
failure of the President to insert in the
peace protocol provision regarding
the Caroline and Pelew islands simi
lar TO that relating to the Philippines
Behind the proposition to buy ITALIAN
lies the hope in some quarters that
Spain will make n counter proposition
for the cession of the entire group and
the Pelcw islands for an increased
compensation.
The belief prevails here that the
Germans will bring pressure to bcnl
upon Spain TO prevent her from selling
the Carolincs to the United States
Such action would undoubtedly he
looked upon as n cause for breach of
friendship.

Consul Livingston at Cape Haytien'
Hayti, in recent report to the State

of Hayti has become so deprecated as
to be well-nigh worthless, and its daily

hard woods; and the mineral wealth,
though unexplored, is said to be con-
