PROTECT SPANIARDS.
SPANiARDS IN CUBA IN DANGER
FROM MODS.
Cu0tom House Guard Give Rescue; and
"Bnyonets of Intervening Government"
are Appreciated by the Manila Press,
Which Speaks Freely.

Havana, Sept. 1.-THE Diaro dc la
Marina editorially says: "Matters are
going from bad to worse. Until recent
ly only in the interior was the life of
a Spaniard unsafe. Now Havana is
becoming the seat of outrages against
the Spaniards. Recently u squad of
Cubans in uniforms used recently in the
rebellion against Spain tried to lynch
guerilla in the heart of Havana, the
fugitive managing to hide in the house
of friend, from whence he was lodged
in the consulate before being sent to
Spain"
The paper then notes the cases of Ca
macho, the Spaniard who was rescued
from lynching by the custom house
guard and taken to n hospital, covered
with wounds, and asks why the police
are never at hand, adding: IF such
outrages occur when people are protect
ed by the bayonets of the intervening
government, what would happen If
these should go?"

DREYFUS rs GUILTY.
VERDICT OF COURT MARTE,L,
FIVE TO TWO.
Sentenced for Ten Years In Irison' IN
Spite of Evidence, on Charge of Sending
Secret Documents to a Foreign Power
Dreyfus Received Verdict Calmly

Rennes. France At o'clock on
Saturday afternoon the judges OF the
court martial returned their verdict OF
guilty and condemned Captain Dreyfus
TO ten years in prison. The members
of the court stood five to two for con-
'viction.
Colonel Jouaust began reading the
Judgment which opened with the ques-
ton referred to the judges by the court
of cessation. "Was Dreyfus guilty OF
entering into Vaccinations to send Sc
cret documents to a foreign power?' he
cave them the answer that the court,
by a majority of five to two, found
Dweyfus guilty.
The gendarmes then closed around
the audience and pressed them outside.
Not cry was raised by anyone. Every
thing passed off with complete calm
As the people emerged the gendarmes
kept them moving away from the court.
The small crowd of people outside
cheered for the army, but the gend-
armes did not interfere. The Judgment
was read to Dreyfus in an adjoining
little room, by the clerk of the court
NJ. Coupois, Dreyfus listened impassive,
did not give the slightest sign OF emo
ton, did not utter a word, and march
ed back to prison like an automaton.
1t is understood Dreyfus will be sent
to Fort Corte, in the Island of Corsica.
A large crowd, which the police kept
moving, waited around the square il
which the telegraph Office and the prin-
cipal cafes are situated.

NEW PORT AND NEW TOWN.
Arc Projected in the Northern Part of
LuZon.

Manila, Sept. 11.-Agents for COM
pany of Spanish capitalists, some of
whom live in Manila, announce that
arrangements have been completed for
the building of a modern railroad line
in Luzon that will connect Manila
with all the important towns along the
west coast of the island as far north as
Laoag.
The Americans who have talked rail
roads here generally believe that new
town and port will be established eth
or on the north coast of Luzon or the
northern part of the west coast of the
island as terminal of the railroad.
This would save $50 miles sailing to
Manila for ships from the United
States or from Hong Kong, and with
rapid communication to Manila through
the richest provinces of the island,
would be reasonably certain to grow
rapidly.

GETTING ABOUT PARIS.
The Street Cars and Omnibuscs OF the
CITY and the Rates of Fares.
aHSlaz3d SAP Sc: 1lTIg

City and the Rates or Fares'
The means of passenger transit In
Paris is something that will interest
great many people the coming year, In
view of the throngs that will visit the
exposition. 1t is effected by electri-
city, steam, compressed air and horse
power. There are three tramway lines
serving Paris and the suburbs, and ON
nibuses are generally used throughout
the city. One of the aforementioned
tram lines belongs to the Compagnie
Generate des Omnibus, and the other
two are practically controlled by the
same company; so that it can be SAID
to have a monopoly of the entire pas
senger transit, exclusive OF cabs and
carriages. 1t is stock company, or
ganized in 1855, having obtained from
the city the exclusive right to transport
passengers from one point to another
in the city of Paris. The concession
expires on the 31st of May, 1910. The
omnibuses are of two sizes, and drawn
by two or three horses, respectively.
The smaller model is arranged for 2S
to 80 places IA outside, IA inside and
two on the platform). The larger
model affords accommodations for 20,
on top and 20 inside, including four on
platform. The fare on the top is 10
confines (near cents) inside and on
platform, 80 centimes (nearly 6 cents).
The payment of the aforementioned
fare entities the passenger to cor
respondence' or transfer ticket to an
other connecting or intersecting line.
No passengers are taken on when the
places are filled, either at station or
en- route. At the starting points num-
bered tickets are handed to the pas
sengers, and when there are more than
enough to fill one conveyance the pre-
cedence is given to those holding the
first numbers. The next omnibus or
car starting begins with the number
last uncalled on the previous vehicle.
The same system prevails at the fixed
stations en- route for vacant places.
No standing in the aisle is allowed The
statistics for 1896 show the number OF
passengers carried as follows: 80 lines
of omnibuses GIG to 80 places), 5OO30.-
O34; IA lines of omnibuses (40 places),
79,349,631; lines of steam tramways,
1882, 800; % lines of horse tramways,
S7,O92,926 lines of compressed air
and electricity, ,705,340; total, 24O,-
O4O,291. The distances traversed by
the divers lines vary from about two
miles to little over four miles

Three Million Acre Sale.

Chicago, Sept. ia deal involving
the transfer of three million acres of
land in the states of Neuvo Leon and
Tamaulipas, Mexico, was concluded in
Chicago today by L. L. Summerlin of
San Antonio, with Chicago and New
York capitalists. Mr.. Summerlin,
speaking Of the deal, said: So
This property is one of the richest
on the continent. There is a heavy de-
post of asphalt, probably the largest in
America, with petroleum and many
valuable timbers, such as mahogany,
rosewood, black ebony and cedar.
1T is situated in the northern part

A SHORTER LINE TO Ell PASO.
Proposed New Railroad from the End Of
the Rock Island at Liberal.

Kan. City, Mo-, Sept.-A special says.
The proposed route of this new rail-
road lies from Ell Paso, Texas, in q
northeasterly direction through Nogal,
Salado, and on diagonally through tha
northeast corner of New Mexico, cut
ting the northwest corner of Texas,
passing through the western strip OF
Oklahoma and terminating at Liberal,
Kan. This is substantially the propos
ed route of this new railroad, and il
will be about 475 miles in length, in an
almost direct line between Ell Paso,
Texas, and Liberal, Kan, where it will
connect with the Rock Island.
A few figures may be given to show
the advantages which will accrue by
the building of this Ell Paso and North.
eastern railroad. Distance from Kansas
City to Los Angeles by the Santa
Fe route is about l 1907 miles, while 10y
going over the Rock Island to Liberal,
and connecting with the new road, the
distance to Los Angeles is reduced to
sos miles, saving of 100 miles. Also,
the distance from Kansas City to El
Paso by the Santa Fe is now about LITE
miles, but by the Rock Island and pro-
posed new road, it will be reduced to
$50 miles, making Il saving of over 2SG
miles.
