A PERFECT SUCCESS.
More About tho Balloon Trip Aero
the Channel.

the Channel.
New York. Dec. PA dispatch to
the Times from London says: The
Chronicle publishes an account from it's
correspondent sent from a balloon trip
across the channel, showing that the
Andree steering-gear was tested with
perfect success. The sail used was 19
feet square instead of II feet, the one
used in the land experiment.
The aeronauts took their course when
the 200-foot trail rope was in water
and found they had detected three
points, or about double that obtained
on land in Essex several weeks ago.
This is not surprising. for the frac-
tional resistance of the trail rope in
water was immense. Another test gave
the same results, but this time the bal
loon descended within two feet of the
waves.
To keep the balloon at an even alti-
tude was a task of the greatest diff
Guilty, and owing to cold air on the
water the sun-heated gas cooled with
lightning rapidity, demanding constant
expelling of ballast to prevent falling
into the sea.
The balloon again rose 2.300 feet,
but dropped behind thick cloud. The
sudden eclipse caused a rapid descent.
and in a few minutes the balloon
touched the ocean. A wave struck the
car. 1t was an exciting moment for
the aeronauts, their gum boots being
filled with water. Percival Spencer,
the famous aeronaut, in charge, prompt
ly threw out ballast and saved himself
from sinking.
The balloon then rose 700 feet after
clearing the French cliffs, and landed
safely amid Norman peasants four miles
east of Havre, having in five hours COW
cred 100 miles, Of which 70 miles were

The Closing of Spanish Rule
In Havana.
STREET RIOTS IN MoNTsERRAT
Cubans Heap Indignitfes on the Van
quished Foe, and Insist an Kissing
the Grave Americanos."

Chicago, Dec. 28.-A censored spe-
cial cable to the Tribune from Havana
says:
Rioting began at Montserrat tonight.
A battalion of Spanish troops hurried
from the barracks on the Prado to
Ga1iano street, the dividing line be-
tween Cuban and Spanish territory.
Order was restored, but in the firing
which occurred before the troops ar
rived, an S-year-old Cuban child was
killed by stray bullet.
Spanish territory in the New World
is now limited to a narrow strip of
land between Havana harbor and Cali
ami street. The flags of Cuba libre
and the United Sites are waving with
in two blocks of the Prado. a great
boulevard which runs through the CEN
ter of Havana.
Montserrat having been evacuated,
the place was alive today with Cubans
and people from the United States.
The scene enacted at Cerro and Vedado
last week and Jesus del Monte yester-
day, was repeated at MontseTrat. There
was even greater demonstration, for
Montserrat comes almost to the city.
Some of the flags leaped across the
dividing line and waved ON the Span
ish side.
The celebration which was begun on
Christmas night today reached its
waving Cuban and American flags and
carrying branches of trees, paraded the
streets shouting and singing. Many
Americans went over to see the demon
stration. They did not remain long.
Owing to the intense enthusiasm, the
populace insisted on kissing the sbrave
Americanos,' whether they wanted to
be kissed or not.
Several affrays took place between
the Spanish residents and the Cubans.
A grocery keeper on Oouendo street re-
fused to put out the Cuban colors, and
was almost beaten to death with sticks.
As evening came on. the demonstra-
tion became noisier than ever, as many
of the negroes parading were drunk and
greatly excited. The Americans be-
came fearful of another clash with the
Spanish troops like that which ushered
in Christmas day. Francisco Luinteso,
Spanish volunteer patrolling the
street near the Prado, was fired at from
a housetop and killed. A Cuban was
killed in another part of the city.
Half dozen Cubans and Spaniards
were shot or stabbed in ARRAYS about
the city.
There was fight between Cubana
end snaniaSds IL front of tl-T Tniter'
States Club at midnight. Several of the
participants were badly cut with ma
chetes. Many American soldiers who
were in town behaved SO boisterouslv
that General Ludlow says he is sorry
that they were permitted to come into
Havana, and in future none will be
permitted except ON strictly military
business.

Largest Volume of Business on Record.
New York, Dec. 26.-R. q. Dun &
Co. s weekly review says:
1t is year beyond parallel, and goes
to its close with the biggest volume Of
business ever seen. Enormous tians-
actions at the stock exchange, makes
some difference, but when all the trans
porting and speculative interests are
eliminated, there is still much larger
business than in any other month of
any year. Last year the exports were
in volume greater than in any previous
month in the history of the country,
but this year the three weeks reported
show an increase of 25 per cent against
9 per cent in imports, which would in
dictate much more than $4,000, 900
excess of eXnortS this month.
