Los Angeles. Nov. 2S-A dispatch from Ehrenburg, Ark. brought word from the balloon United States" with Capt. A. E. Mueller as pilot and J. K. Hutchinson, a newspaper man, as pas senger, had landed at that place at 4:1o o'clock Monday afternoon. The start was made from this city at 1O:1s o'clock Monday morning. Ehrenburg is more than 200 miles from Los An geles, as the crow files. and the balloon had travelled nearly, if not quite. 500 miles in less than six hours.
 Making faster time in this flight to- ward the east than the fastest train makes from Los Angeles to the Colo rado River, Captain Mueller amply demonstrated his ability to locate the air currents which will carry him over the mountains. In his flight. he passed over the range at the opening of the San Gorgorina Pass and at one period of his flight was more than three miles in the air. He successfully avoided the San Jacquinto peak, a mountain more than 1f.e00 feet high, and in this feat he has shown that trans-conti- mental trip by balloon Is possible.

Some of the people of Jeremie protested against this course. whereupon Leconte select ed two of the most prominent citizens and had them executed.
 These outrages wrought the people up to a great degree of excitement. They armed themselves hastily and ad- vanced against Leconte and his troops. There was practically no resistance, Leconte was taken prisoner and in his same wharf where he had caused the killing of Ostoma and the other two men.
 General Tangrede Auguste has been named Minister of the Interior in suc- cession to Leconte.

Rome Nov. 25.-Italians are showing intense resentment against Austria and Austrians because of the anti-Italian riots which have taken place at Vienna. These have been directed against Ital- ian students in that city and a num- Der of the students have been wounded. Violent demonstrations have taken place in several of the leading towns and cities In Italy in the way of re- taliation and at the demonstrations here last night fiery speeches were made and the Austrian flag was burnS ed. An attack against the Austrian embassy was prevented only by the energetic attitude of the police and a guard of soldiers and many arrests were made amid cries of Down with Austrial"
 This renders more difficult the posi- tion of the Italian Government as member with Austria of the triple al- liance, in the Balkan controversy.
