INCEND[ARY TALK
Organ OF the South African

Against England.
Suggests Killing a Few Wire-
Pullers and Thus Avert

Demonstrations at Johannes

ger "Justice."
Greatest Excitement Known
Since the Jameson Raid
Now Exists.
uI1LANDERs ARE FESTIVE

LONDON, Dec. 3O.-The johannesburg
correspondent Of The Times, telegraph
ing Thursday, says:
yesterdays issue of The Rand Post
contains further inflammatory articles.
The paper called Saturdays proceedings
rebel crusades against the existence of
the republic, and styles the petition "a
lying and libelous document. compiled
in conjunction with the British agents
Office 1t suggests that, if couple Of
wirepullers were shot, it would avert
formal war, and says that Great Britain
should then be requested to appoint
new consular staff, failing immediate
compliance with the request the exc.
quators of the members of the present
staff should be withdrawn"
Uitlanders Want Justice.
The Johannesburg correspondent Of
The Daily Mail says:
''Signs are multiplying that the UT.
lander element are aroused to presenting
claims for justice. Former leaders are
debarred, under pain of Punishment,
from interfering in politics, but they de-
clare that, despite Pretoria terrorism,
they will not keep silent much longer.
The present temper of the community is
such that opposing demonstrations will
almost inevitably be followed by seri'
Gus riots.
II learn on high authority that, dur.
ing the negotiations at Pretoria regard
ing Saturdays demonstrations, the Brit
ish agent carefully avoided any admis-
sion that the
British Government Assented
to the public meetings. act. He even
suggested that Great Britain might test
the legality of that measure under the
London convention.
THE present position has aroused the
deepest public excitement known since
the Jameson raid, and it is plain that
something must be done quickly to ter.
inmate q humiliating and intolerable
situation.
Il have visited the British consul,
who said the Saturdays demonstration
impressed him as being based upon deep
popular feeling, while the deputation
which presented the petition was to his
personal knowledge composed of men of
high character and standing"

FAST TWENTY-ROUND DRAW

Jimmy Barry and Casper Leon Meet ut
Davenport, Ii.
DAVENPORT, Ia, Dec. 30.-Jimmy
Barry, the bantamweight champion,
and his old time rival, Casper Leon,
fought fast 2O-round fight to draw
before the City Athletic club. The
small hall in which the fight was held
was filled to OVERLOOKING, large delega-
tions from Chicago and adjoining cities
being in attendance. The fight was an
even one from start to finish. In the
opinion of many of the spectators Leon
outpointed his man, but Barrys su-
perior strength easily evened matters.
There was little betting on the event,
Icons previous defeats making the
sporting element shy of the investment.

Next News From lloilo Eagerly
Awaited by Officials at
Washington.
REBELS SUPERIOR IN NUMBER
Said to Have Four Times the
Force of Americans at
That Point.
War Department Confident of
the Result in the Event
of a Clash.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 30.-The war de-
partment is expecting definite word
from General Otis within the next "a
hours as to what has occurred at IlUilo.
BY that time General Otis will have
heard from General Miller, in command
of the American force sent on this expe-
dition. The officials about the war de-
partment do not appear to be apprehen-
sive over the result and there is no evi.
dence of tension or alarm, although it IL
recognized that the situation at Iloilo is
one which may bring about sharp and
possibly decisive issue between the in
surgents and the United States forces.
Up to the close of Office hours it was
said at the war department that moth
ing had been received from General
Otis bearing on the military situation.
No Fear of the Result.
What General Miller will do as to
taking possession of the city, either
with force or without. is not officially
disclosed and indeed it is likely that
considerable discretion is lodged with
the commanding officer as to what steps
should be taken. But in the event OF
clash between the United States forces
and the insurgents, war department Of
fcials say there could be no doubt as to
the outcome, as the Eighteenth in
fantry, who are among the regulars
sent, have a reputation for their fight
ing ability. The American force num-
bers about 1850 as against an estimated
force of some 10000 insurgents. but no
doubt is expressed as to the adequacy of
our force.

INTENSE FEELING At HAVANA

Meeting of Citizens to Protest
Against the Decision of
General Brooke.

HAVANA, Dec. 8O.-The refusal of
General Brooke to allow the Cubans to
carry out any part of their 6-day pro-
gramme in celebration of Spanish evac-
nation has caused considerable feeling.
A joint meeting Of the committees of
various Cuban societies was held at the
1rijo theater to discuss the situation.
The proceedings were private, but it
was decided to endeavor to prepare has
tily petition to be signed by business
firms in Havana requesting General
Brooke to allow the demonstration.
This feature Of the proceedings is the
only one made public. It is reported,
however, that most of those present adj

minority, on the other hand, urged that
It would be better to keep cool, to trust
the Americans and to wait and see how
their policy would work out.
The Americans D,strust Them.
Senior Prefecto Ia Costa, who presided
at the meeting, is said to have expressed
his views in this wise:
Il am satisfied that the Americans do
not understand us and their moral posi-
ton is essentially weak. Instead of
saying to us: Go ahead and have all
the pleasure you want in an innocent
way, and if you fight and destroy prop
erty expect to be- punished they sup
press the natural enthusiasm Of our peo-
pie, forbidding free assembly, free
speech in public and all other methods
OF expressing our delight at the advent
of new conditions. For years we have
suffered, only to see at this hour our
emotions changed from pleasure at the
departure Of the Spaniards to apprehen-

TEARING DOWN OUR FLAG.
Feeling Against Americans Growing In

Feeling Against Americans Growing In.
tense ut havana.
CHICAGO, Dec. 80. "A special cable.
gram to The Tribune from Havana
says:
It is reported that General Mariana
Menocal and his Cuban forces at La
Paya have been asked to take the oath
OF allegiance to the United States and
have refused. The news was cheered
by the crowds and mounted insurgents
clattered through the town, telling the
people that General Menocal had with
drawn his troops from La Pays and
taken to the field.
This story, regardless Of its truth or
falsity, is chiefly worthy of serious at
tention because Of the eagerness with
which it was received by the crowds
who insisted upon it's truth. They JUS
titled General Menocal's reported sensa-
tional action.
This situation grows out of the refusal
of General Brooke to permit Of the par
ticipation of Cuban troops in the exer-
cises on evacuation day.
Old Glory Torn From Many Houses.
The feeling in Havana is intense. The
United States flag was torn down from
many houses in the lower districts of
the city. Upper class Cubans sent
cablegrams without number to Presi-
dent Mckinley begging him to inter-
fere. Cablegrams have been sent broad
cast over the United States asking for
public meetings and appealing to the
common sense and justice of the Amer
lean people.
The Cuban leaders here are doing
everything possible to prevent an out
burst, but say that if General Brooke's
command is carried out they will be
helpless.
Judge Advocate Charles Gould of the
American commission has cabled to
President Mckinley that there is in
tense uneasiness in the situation here
and advising that the Cubans be per-
united to participate in the evacuation
ceremonies. No WORD has yet been re-
ceived from the president regarding the
matter.
nOOtlu8 American 0OlOIoCUs
The more excitable of the population
of Havana's lower districts are begin
ming to boot the American soldiers. The
higher class Cubans are bitterly cha
grined and disappointed at the turn If
fairs have taken. They hardly know
what to say or do. Their plans were to
have 1000 picked men, the flower of the
insurgent army, march into Havana
Jan. l.
The Cuban soldiers came into camp
1t La Playa and Marianne with the un-
aestanding that they are marching to
Havana for evacuation day. They
bought new uniforms in honor Of the
occasion. The streets of Havana have
been most lavishly decorated. The
people intended to meet the insurgent
soldiers at the outskirts and escort them
with music and chez ring to the Prado.
Now Spain has been driven out, but the
Cuban soldier must not enter.
