JIMINEZ UNDER ARREST.
Prevented From Making His Voy-
age to Sam Domingo.

HAVANA, Aug. 1S.-In view of the
fact that Colonel Bacallao, Chief of the
Secret Police persisted in his declara-
ton that General Jiminez, the aspirant
to the Presidency of Santo Domingo,
was in Havana, either not having left
or having returned, the military au-
thorities telegraphed to Cienfuegos, in
structing Captain Stamper, Collector
of Customs there, to ascertain whether
Jiminez was on the Menendez steamer,
and to take him under arrest if that
should be the case. Just as the
steamer was about leaving Cienfuegos
Captain Stamper located Jiminez and
arrested him.
Jiminez denounced the arrest as an
outrage. He said he had broken no
law, and would not yield except to
force. Captain Stamper replied that
he was ready to use force if necessary,
and Jiminez then yielded, remarking
that he did so only because he could
not help himself.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Aug. 1S-The

UNSAFE BRIDGES.
Several at Chicago Have Been Con-
demned.

CHICAGO, Aug. Is. - Two bridges
over the Chicago River have been or
dered closed to traffic. seven others
We're condemned as dangerous, and two
were labeled very suspicious These
last will be allowed to remain open for
a time, unless something happens.
All this came about to-day because
the bridge over the Calumet River at
Ninety-fifth street dropped into the
water when it was swung for repairs.
The bridge broke squarely in half over
the center pier, and both ends went
down into the water Two bridge
tenders went with the ends. They were
rescued unharmed. When City En-
gineer Ericsson heard of the accident
he came to the conclusion that there
We're several others which might drop
with somebody besides a bridge tender
or two, and he at once issued orders
closing the North Halstead street and
Wood street bridges, and announced
that those at Clybourne place, North
western avenue, Twenty-second street,
Archer avenue, Southwestern avenue,
Randolph street and Polk street were
condemned as dangerous. The bridges
at North avenue and Chicago avenue,
he says, may do for "a time"
All of these bridges are old and have
been in use for many years. To make
the situation more serious, it will re-
quire at least 100000 to build new
bridges or properly repair the old ones,
and there is no appropriation for the
purpose.

Monument to the Fallen Guards
Unveiled Near Metz.
The Emperor of Germany Delivers the Ad-
dress on the Occasion.
Pays a Glowing Tribute to the
Brave Soldiers of Both Armies,
French as Well as Germans-The
Monument Stands Not for One,
but for All Who Fell in the
Battle.

BERLIN, Aug. 1S.-Emperor William
yesterday unveiled a monument to the
dead of the regiment of the First
Guards on the st. Privat battlefield, in
the vicinity of Metz. In the address
Which his majesty made on the occa-
sion he said:
Hallowed recollection attend to-
days festival, making hearts beat
higher. My first regiment of foot
guards is represented by one company,
its glorious flags and many old COM
rades who fought and bled on this
spot. | unveil this monument in re-
membrance of those who fell on the
field of battle. This ceremony also
takes place in the presence of my
youngest regiment and the whole army
represented by the troops of the Six
teenth Corps. This is almost the only
regiment which has not hitherto been
represented by a monument on this
blood drenched field. Yet it had full
claim to one. Although it is nearly re-
lated by history to my house. whose
Princes and Kings it has been called
upon to train up, and though it might
rightly, therefore, be considered as a
family household regiment, yet my
grandfather did not hesitate for a mo-
ment to sacrifice to the welfare of the
country the troops so dear to him. His
tory tells us how the regiment fought,
bled and fulfilled its OATH and how it's
behavior evoked the praise and it's sor-
rows the tears of the great Emperor.
This regiment, with me as it's senior
comrade, to-day sets up a memorial of
stone to it's heroes who rest beneath
the sward.
THE, design of this monument diff
fers from that usual on battlefelds. a
mail clad angel leans in calm repose on
a sword adorned with the regiments
proud motto, 'Semper tails L desire
that the meaning of this figure be gem
orally known. 1t stands on this field
as a guardian of all the brave soldiers
of both armies French and German,
who fell.
"The French soldiers who found a
glorious grave at st. Privat also fought
bravely and heroically for their En-
peror and fatherland. When our flags
are lowered in greeting before this
bronze statue, and flutter mournfullY
over the graves of our dear comrades,
may they wave over the tombs of our
foes and whisper that we think sor-
rowingly of their brave dead. With
deep thanks and an upward glance to
the Lord of Hosts for the guidance He
so mercifully vouchsafed to our great
Emperor, we will recall that the count
less souls of all who once stood face to
face in hot encounter will look down
upon us this day from whence they
stand around the throne of the Su-
preme Judge, united in eternal peace"

ceipts have been only 3,212, III bushels,
against 1869, ,229 bushels last year. It
is a question whether the smaller re-

prospects, giving holders of grain a
better outlook. Exports of wheat in

THE PORTO RICO STORM.
Terrible Conditions Said to Exist
as a Result

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S-A dispatch to
the Herald" from San Juan, Porto
Rico, says:
Visits to the most distressed districts
of the island prove that the former re-
ports of terrible conditions have not
been in the least exaggerated
People in the towns are huddled to-
gether anywhere for shelter In the
country the people are sleeping in the
open air.
The food supplies have been totally
destroyed. Only the well-to-d can af-
ford to buy provisions.
Unless succor comes in a few days
the people will starve. The supplies
from San Juan have not yet arrived
at the towns, but are expected. The
depots in many towns are already sur
rounded by large numbers of hungry
persons.
The Mayors of the towns have re-
ceived no authority to dispense moneys,
but most of them are contributing gen
erously out of their own pockets to
supply the most urgent needs.
AS far as Caguas and Cayey the sani-
tary conditions are not threatening, but
reports from the towns further south
state that their conditions is dangerous.
The peril lies in the herding of the in
habitants in the towns.
The best posted persons agree that it
will be necessary to provide work for
the inhabitants and seeds for the next
planting.
An official report from Guaymas says
that 265 houses were destroyed IT, Sc
riously injured and Il damaged by the
storm.
At Yabucoa the police are obliged to
protect the peasants bringing fruit
from the country in order to prevent it
being taken away from them by force
by the hungry mobs The situation
there is most desperate.
In the district surrounding Mayaguez
scores of women, old men and children
are homeless and begging shelter and
food
The schooner Concepcion loaded with
200 Porto Ricans going as immigrants
to Samana, went adrift to-day All
jumped overheard and several were
drowned
A Mayaguez paper reminds the public
| that in the year 1871 the city was de-
stroyed by fire. Two days later the
Governor was personally distributing
$4,000 among those who most needed
it. The principal street of the city
bears his name in remembrance Of this
act.
Many prominent persons in Utuado
have signed an appeal to the public
asking food and work for the inhabi-
tants. Two thousand persons have
perished in this whole district.
