DEMONSTRATION IN HAVANA.
Massacre OF the Students in 1871
MemoriaIized Yesterday.


HAVANA, Nov 27.-Rumors are rife in
the city regarding prominent Cubans who
are said to have taken to the woods. The
reports even specify the number of men
in the various provinces who have de
termined to oppose the Americans by force
of arms. All these rumors are equally
unreliable, though many persons feel that
the veterans association is becoming

A grand demonstration took place here
today in memory of the students who We're
killed by Spaniards in 1871. The Cere-
monies occupied the entire day. Early in
the morning crowds went to the cemetery
where the students are buried. Then there
was a procession to the city, after which
a commemorating stone was unveiled at
La Punta. About $1,000 persons were
present. The oratoricaI exercises began
with addresses by two students, one of
whom gave q resume of the facts con-
nected with the execution of the students.
He declared that the act was the darkest
blot on the Spanish name, and one that
called for vengeance upon the Spanish
assassius, who were a pack of blood thirsty
iackals, Prof. Lendian, of the University
OF Havana said that the students who had
spoken did not have the misfortune TO
rang out telling of the death of eight in
nocents He declared that General Cap
devilla. the Spaniard who tried to save
the students, was noble and fearless, and
that he represented Spain. The blood
thirsty crowd that killed the students were
not representatives Of the mother country.
The good of Cuba demanded self-control.
Senior Zayas said that now more than
ever Cubans had need to fulhI their duty.
He could not agree with Prof. Lendian
that General Capdeyilla represented Spain.
The Spanish Government, he added, had
ever been corrupt, and this act, above all,
had united all that was vile. He called
upon Spaniards. when they saw the tablet
which had been erected to the memory Of
the murdered students TO admit, while de-
ploring the fact, that Spain had allowed
twenty-eight years to pass without maxi
ing what atonement was possible for her
deed of shame.

A New European Complication.

Strictly speaking it is improper 10 call
the Morocco question new one in the
high politics Of Europe, because it is old
enough 10 have kept the diplomatists of
several interested states often awake at
night while they have been excogitating
IT, But it is practically new to the public
on this side Of the water
The Sultanate of Morocco occupies ter
ritory on the Mediterranean Sea and the
Atlantic Ocean in a way to make it a great
prize to any commercial nation which
might manage to take it. Like China, it is
going in pieces before long, only sooner,
perhaps. Within sight of the frowning
British fortress Of Gibraltar, it is also
within the range of vision OF the Spaniards
who naturally want it badly They do not
want it any worse than do the French,
whose Algerian possessions it adjoins on
the West. AS both could moi have it all. it
is notorious in Europe that the two coun-
tries have pooled their interests, and that
with French money Spain is fortifying the
heights which dominate Gibraltar not
withstandtng strong protests from London.
Not so long ago Lord Salisbury ex-
pressed the opinion that the question OF
Morocco might easily become the spark
20 start d general European confagI alton,
and it is not difficult 10 see why. Eng
land could not possibly tolerate possession
OF the southern shore Of the Straits by
any military power. She would fight any

er than suffer that But Germany regards
Morocco as necessary TO the integrity and
expansion Of her African dominion. and
would not hesitate to absorb the whole
area If that were practicable It VII be
realized therefore that the decaying Arab
sulranate is a meaty bone Of contention,
and one well calculated 10 set the great
powers by the ears. We may safely argue
that Russia would not care TO have Great
Britain strengthened by occupancy OF The
whole Mediterranean mouth, and conse-
cuently might be expected TO favor a par
utiou Of Morocco between France and
Spain Italy as q Latin and Catholic
country probably would prefer 10 see the
territory in the hands OF its knsmen and

THE WESTERN MARYLAND ROAD
Speculation as to Manner of CompIet-

BALTIMORE. Nov. 27--The delay on the

ure Of the mortgages securing the bonds
held by the city and the sale OF the road
outright TO the syndicate after the city has
bought it in at auction, which would be
authorized by the court and the forsclos-
uTe proceedings
There has been some opposition to thsss
plans on the ground that the city might
fare badly through this arrangement. The
members Of the New York syndicate have
evidently taken notice Of the sentiment
prevailing in Baltimore and it Is believed
are now contemplating the practicability
of changing their offer and merely buy
ing the city's holdings in the Western
Maryland The syndicate could then go
ahead and institute foreclosure proceedings
on its own account.
II the syndicate is allowed to f0recIOse on
the road il is doubtful if there would be
any other bidders for the property, where
as if the city does the fOreCl0sing there
will be other bidders, and in that case the
syndicate would have 70 increase its set

the property would mean just that much
more for the city. it would seem ike a
wise move for the city itself TO DO the
f0reclOsing.
Il is also intimatsd very strongly today
that the interests behind the offer for the
road are desirOUs OF using the railroad

The 'Noyoe Vremya," of St Peers
burg, seizes upon the announcement Of
the British recognition Of "state of war"
in South Africa as a text for fresh Anglo
phobe editorial remarks. 1t urges, among
other things, that now is a propitious time
for the powers to intervene. In almost any
other country such press utterances would
pass as merely expressions of individual
or at most popular opinion. But in Russia
1t is different. Nothing of the kind could
be printed without the privity and consent
of the Government press censor, who is
presumed to know what the imperial au
thOrities want. AS Great Britain's recogni-
ton of Boer belligerency was not made
public until after conferences with the
Kaiser and Minister Won Buelow, it may
be reasonably assumed that any powers de-
string to intervene at this or any other
time would do well to first secure an optn-
ion from Berlin on the subject.
