Berlin Cable Letter.
Berlin, Nov. 13.—The visit of Count Go
luchowski, the Austro-Hungarian minister
for foreign affairs, to King Humbert, at
Monza, and its attendant circumstances
are regarded In German political circles
as being of the highest Importance. The
conservative and agrarian newspapers in
terpret the visit as meaning a closer un
derstanding between Austria-Hungary and
Italy, and as a leaning of those two powers
towards Great Britain. The leading organ
of the agrarians and nationalists, the
Deutsche Zeltung, says: “In this we are
unable to see anything but a weakening of
our diplomatic position. Under Prince Bis
marck our country was the mediator be-
Kussia and Austria and Austria and Italy,
while France was isolated and England
was kept in check by Russia. The Russo-
English irreconsilable contract is still ex
isting; but France has made an agreement
with Russia, and Austria has made one
with both Italy and Russia, in each case
over our heads and the internal and for
eign policy of Austria go hand in hand un
der the lead of two Poles, Baden! and Go
luchowski, who aim at the suppression of
German influence.”
The Rundschau publishes an article to
the same effect, denouncing the duplicity
of British statecraft, whereby both Aus
tria and Italy are gradually becoming es
tranged from Germany.
The Boersen Courier, a leading financial
organ, says: “We are approaching famine
conditions. Victuals have risen in price
to such an extent that the sustenance of
a whole strata of the population is in
doubt. Meat has become for the laboring
classes, thanks to the import prohibitions,
an article of luxury hardly attainable, and
our poor crops have driven the prices of
cereals to such hights that not only the
Industrial population and the dwellers in
cities, but even the rustic population, ex
cepting that part of it belonging to the
suffering agrarians, are threatened in their
existence. A moment id approaching
when the government will be compelled
to throw open again those avenues of
trade which are now artificially clogged."
The Guelph party of Brunswick, at its
convention at Helmsdat thi9 week, nomi

pledged to support the succession of the
Duke of Cumberland to the throne.
During the presence of Emperor Will
iam in the flood-suffering districts of Si

cialist pamphlets and journals.
Herr Felix Weingartner, director of the

METHODIST MISSIONS.
The General Committee Mnkea an
Appropriation for Chile.
Philadelphia, Nov. 13.—The special order
of business before the general missionary
committee of the Methodist Episcopal
church to-day was the consideration of
mission work in Chile. Dr. Buckley asked
for an appropriation of $30,000, but Bishop
Andrews thought $15,000 sufficient. After
considerable discussion, which was indulg
ed in by the best speakers of the commit
tee, Bishop Fowler moved that $21,440 be
appropriated to the Chilian mission, $1,440
to be available at once. This was agreed
to. The afternoon was devoted to a visit
to the Methodist hospital.

CUBANS DYNAMITE A TRAIN.
Twelve Persons Killed and 27 Sol
diers and Civilians Injured.
Havana, Nov. 13.—The insurgents have
dynamited and derailed a train running
between Nuevltas, the port of Puerto
Principe, and the city of Puerto Principe,
capital of the province of that name. The
force of the explosion overturned the en
gine, destroyed several cars, killed the en.
gineer, fireman and ten other persons, and
injured twenty-seven soldiers and passen
gers.
It was officially announced to-day that
a column of Spanish troops commanded by
Gen. Hernando Valasco has been engaged
with an Insurgent force at the hights of
Governador, a province of Pinar del Rio.
The enemy was commanded by Ferlco
Diaz, Ducassi, Delgado and other leaders.
The Spanish troops captured four insur
gent camps, two storage places for Insur
gents arms, two prisoners and a quantity
of arms, ammunition and stores.
The Insurgents left 41 men killed on tha
field, and retired with many wounded. The
Spanish column lost one officer and 13 sol
diers killed and had three officers and 39
soldiers wounded.
FOREIGN INSURGENTS IN CUBA.
Gen. Blanco Auks That Cases Against
Them Be Held Up.
Havana, Nov. 13.—Marshal Blanco, the
governor general of the island, has,accord
ing to official report, requested the presid
ing magistrates of tribunals before which
may be brought natives charged with the
crime of rebellion against the Spanish gov
ernment to remit these cases and those of
a similar character, brought against for
eigners, so that they may be decided ac
cording to the terms of the proposed po
litical amnesty for Cuba and the Philip
pines, approved by the Spanish cabinet on
Nov. 7.
ANNEXATION GROWS IN FAVOR.
Mercantile and Foreign Elements In
the Island Want a Change.
Havana, Nov. 13.—Dispatches from Mad
rid say that the officially inspired papers,
El Correo and La Correspondence point
to a possibility of the autonomist party di
viding into radical and conservative wings.
It is generally believed that the newly ap
pointed governors In Cuba will hold their
offices but comparatively short time, as
it is the general opinion that within two
months Insular chambers will be formed,
when the governors will be elected by pop
ular votes.
The insurgents are active throughout
Central and Eastern Cuba. It is understood
that they will shortly make a bold demon
stration as proof that they have not ac
cepted autonomy and to induce the next
session of the United Slates congress to
recognize their rights as belligerents.
Marshal Blanco, it is understood, lacks
the necessary moral influence over the
troops to Induce them to carry out his
plans for the kind treatment of the insur
gents and the natural consequence of this
is a state of confllction. The annexation
of Cuba to the United States is gaining in
favor among the mercantile and foreign
elements in the island.
The local band of guerillas at Felipe,
province of Havana, were surprised by a
band of insurgents of Juan Delgado and
eight of twenty guerillas composing the
band were macheted. The rest fled to the
town.
Gen. Blanco has dispatched several pacl
ficoes, provided with passes to insurgent
lines, with a view to Inviting the leaders
to lay down their arms and accept au
tonomy. He has issued orders to the
guerilla bands not to molest these envoys.
Gen. Panchi Carrillo, according to offi
cial reports, recently crossed by way of
the La Luisa hills at Placetas, with 200
mounted men, returning from Cienfuegos,
where he went to meet an expedition
which was landed there recently, it Is be
lieved by the Dauntless. Gen. Carrillo
was on his way to the Fellca ranch on the
border of Rio Blanco, where is located the
camp of Gen. Gomez in the Santlc Spirltus
district.
LOAN BROKER OX A NEW TACK.
Hooley Abandons China and Tarns
to Sivnln.
London, Nov. 13.—1 t is announced that
E. T. Hooley, the Englisn financier, has
abandoned the proposed Chinese loan and
is now giving his attention to Spain. He
is reported to have offered Spain to raise
a loan of £3,500,000 at 4 per cent., secured
on the lines of the old quicksilver loan,
which is now nearly wiped out. The Span
ish cabinet, it is further stated, will con
sider the matter next Thursday. The pro
ject is not regarded favorably in this city,
and doubts are expressed of Hooley’s abil
ity to float It, even if Spain accepts, which
is doubtful, the Spanish minister of finance
having declared that he does not intend to
raise another loan with the quick silver
mines as security.
PLEA FOR ARBITRATION.
English Workingmen Send an Ad
dress to the Senate.
New York, Nov, 13.—William R. Cremer,
former member of parliament for the Hag
gerston division of Shoreditch, first secre
tary of the International Working Men’s
Association and secretary of the Interna
tional Arbitration League, was a passen
ger on the American liner St. Paul, which
arrived from Southampton to-night. Mr.
Cremer will present to every United States
senator an address to the United States
Senate in favor of arbitration signed by
7,000 workingmen, each of whom is an offi
cer of a trades union, the whole number
representing over 2,750,000 British working
men.

MEXICO’S BIG MURDER TRIAL.
The Proceeilingz Expected to Be
Sensational In the Extreme.
City of Mexico, Nov. 13.—The trial of
Police Inspector Villa Vincenco and other
police officials Implicated In the murder
of Arnalfo Arroyo will begin Monday and
will probably last eight or nine days. All
the accused have counsel and the trial
will be a sensational one, throwing much
light on the action of the late Inspector
general of police, Velasquez, who commit
ted suicide when his share In the crime
was discovered, and he became convinced
that the government would afford him no
protection.
SAVANNAH, GA., SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1897.
SALISBURY'S GUILD SPEECH.
MANY SOOTHING WORDS THAT
HAVE NO SIGNIFICANCE.
Essentially a Peace Message and
Contains no Indication f How
Far the Government la Prepared
to Go in Its Campaigns—The Gov
ernment Wearying ot England's
Splendid Isolation—A Falling Off
o( 5,000,000 Francs lu the Receipts
at Monte Carlo,
Special London Cable Letter, Copyright,
1897, by the Associated Press.
London, Nov. 13.—The speech of the
Marquis of Salisbury at the Guild Hall on
Tuesday last, lord mayor's day, again
proved him to be past master of saying
nothing In many soothing words. It was
essentially a peace speech, and did not
contain a single indication as to how far
the government is prepared to go in its
Indian, Egyptian, Soudan or Niger affair
beyond a general “what can be done, will
be done." Even the supposed menace to
France has since been explained, and was
not intended to excite French feelings, but
was merely to give English public opinion
mild satisfaction from a pretended bluff.
The premier's utterances on the sub
ject of international federation led to the
conclumlon that the government is weary
ing of Great Britain’s splendid isolation,
and the imperialistic plans of the secre
tary of state for the colonies, Mr. Joseph
Chamberlain, have not yet progressed
enough )to permit Great Britain to main
tain her policy of separation from the rest
of the world.
The continental newspapers regard dis
trustful praise of the concert of the pow
ers, coming from the leader of the power
which, rightly on wrongly, the whole of
Europe believes to have been the most
untrustworthy element in It.
The progressives tend to secularism and
aqcuse the moderates of a desire to again
bring the people under the control of the
priests and the Church of England. The
moderates admit a desire to reintroduce
denominational teaching in the schools',
but they claim a monopoly of the desire
for economy, so far as consistent with
efficient education. The expenditure of the
schools, under the present board with a
progressive majority, shows a rapid in
crease in the cost per child.
While a preliminary meeting of the rep
resentatives of the striking engineers and
of the employers of the men will be held
on (Monday next to settle upon the terms
of the conference arranged through the
mediation of the board of trade, the ex
pectation of a speedy settlement of the
dispute is hardly more sanguine than It
was a week ago.
The French Chamber of Deputies on
Friday, adopted a bill which has already
been passed by the Senate, providing for
reform in the criminal investigations be
fore examining magistrates, which have
been such a notorious scandal. Owing to
the secrecy of the procedure, prisoners
have frequently been intimidated and en
trapped by magistrates desirous of con
victing them. Hereafter prisoners must be
interrogated immediately after their ar
rest and in the presence of their lawyers.

The budget of Monte Carlo shows that
the profits for the year ending Oct. 31,
were 6,000,000 francs below those of the
previous year. No reasons are assigned
for this falling off. The bank’s outlays in
clude 2,000,000 francs to the Prince of
Monaco; police and grounds, 1,600,000
francs; salaries, 1,000,000 francs; orchestra
and sports, 800,000 francs; payments to
ruined gamblers, 100,000 franca, and for the
prevention of suicides 109,000 francs. The
number of suicides during the year total
ed up 35 persons.
The reason for the absence of Mr. Cecil
Rhodes from the festival at the recent
opening of the railroad to Butuwayo, is
said not to be due to ill health, but to be
part of a well organized plan to defeat
Kruger in the election for the presidency
of the Transvaal, which occurs about two
months hence.
The Saturday Review, which has much
inside information regarding South Afri
can affairs, believes there Is a fair work
ing chance cff Mr. Rhodes defeating Kru
ger and electing a Boer who will not be
hostile to the mining interests.
Had Mr. Rhodes appeared at Butuwayo
that town would have converted the whole
affair into a personal triumph for Mr.
Rhodes, which would have antagonized
the Boers and would have undone all the
pacificatory work of the politicians, the
sole object of which Is to defeat Kruger.

of brigands, members of the revolutionary
Huntshaguistl committee In those regions,
under orders of the Houssep and Minas

"Thereupon, these Individuals, like
many others under the same conditions,
were conducted to their churches to swear
au oath, which they did, that they would

laws of keeping peace. Afterwards the
authorities occupied themselves with the
task of securing for them a place of refuge
and provided them with all the necessa

and peacefully.”

Washington, Nov. 13.—Gen. Wilson, chief
of engineers, received tlje report of the
board of officers in the case of Capt. Car

to make the report public, stating that as
the board was called together by the di
rection of the Secretary of War the re
port can only be promulgated by author
ity from Secretary Alger. The latter Is
confined to his house by a slight illness.
it is understood that the report Is not
adverse to Capt. Carter, for although it

FOOT BALL BATTLE FUTILE.
YALE AND HARVARD FAIL TO
SCORE AGAINST EACH OTHER.
Each Team l'nts Up a .strong Defense,
Hat Shows Weak Ground-Gaining
Powers—Harvard Had More Possi
bilities Tliun lain and Possessed
Capabilities She Illd Not Employ to
the Limit—llurvurd's Eleven Look
ed Upon ns the Stronger—A High
Wind a Factor.
Cambridge, Mass., Noy. 13.—Hai vaid and
Yale played each other to a standstill this
afternoon on Soldiers field. For two thrill
ing hours the sturdy eleven* struggled over
tlie white lined gridiron desperately dis
puting every inch of territory and vainly
essaying to cross a covetid goal line. The
teams had each a strong defense and weak
ground gaining powers, and the logical
outcome of the contest was that neither
side scored.
Tlie game was disappointing. Each elev.
en wus confident of victory and the expec
tations of neither was realized. Harvard
should have won. She had more possibili
ties than her rival, and she had capabili
ties she did not employ to the limit. Yale
was but once within scoring distance of
the Harvard goal, but when Harvard was
put to the test she was found wanting,
and Yale by resolute and determined de
fense prevented the crimson from doing
what Brown, West Point, Carlisle and Chi
cago had already accomplished.
The game was unusually devoid of long,
brilliant runs and hair-raising kicks, but
the enormous crowd was kept at the In
tensest pitch of excitement over the final
outcome. The high wind was an Impor
tant factor In the result. It made neces
sary a ywirtly different system of offense
and defense for both teams. Yale, In win
ning the toss and securing the wind, had
Harvard at great odda. The fact that heav
ily handicapped as she was. Harvard de
fended her territory so strongly, led all to
believe that in the second half the crim
son would score on easy victory.
In the second, when Harvard had the
strong wind at her back, It was after she
had been battered and buffeted about the
gridiron for over an hour and was in no
condition to strike into the line with the
most telling effect. Yale's supposed supe
riority in bucking did not materialize.
Even when Mcßride and Desaulles had
the wind at their backs Haughton nearly
held his own. At times the Yale backs
made miserable attempts at punting. Four
times they had their kicks blocked by the
Harvard forwards; once it turned to their
own advantage, but once decidedly to
Hnrvard's. Haughton was guilty of sev
eral bad, but not costly fumbles, while
Yale’s back seemed to misjudge the punts
continually and they were never sure on
their catches. At the end Yale seemed to
be the fresher.

SHUT-OUT FOR WESLEYAN.
I nlverstty of Pennsylvania Wins by
a Score of !G1 toO.
Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. IS.-The Univer
sity of Pennsylvania foot ball team de
feated Wesleyan this afternoon on Frank
lin Field by the score of 22 to 0. The game
was absolutely the poorest exhibition of
foot ball that has been witnessed on
Franklin Field this season. Fumbles by
the red and blue followed each other with
such rapidity that the game lost all In
terest. and double the attention was paid
to the Yale-Harvard game, which was
reproduced on the score board, as to that
of tho Pennsylvanla-Wesleyan game.
There were only six regulars on the Penn
sylvania team. The Wesleyan forwards
broke through Pennsylvania's lino and
blocked several kicks, but the red and
blue wsre fortunate enough to recover
the ball. Only twice during the game did
the Wesleyan boys gain first down, Penn
sylvania’s line holding fairly well.
INDIANS AGAIN CONQUERED.
Drown University Wins by a Score of
IS tg It at New York.
New York, 'Nov. 13.—The elevens from
the Carlisle Indian School and Brown Unl
servity fought their annual gridiron bat
tle on the Polo grounds this afternoon
in the presence of about 3,000 spectators,
Brown winning, 18 to 11. It was clearly a
battle of strength against science, and sci
ence came out on top. Two players were
so severely injured that their foot ball
career of 1897 Is likely to be cut short. Both
injured men belong to the Indian team,
and both met disaster In the second half.
Wheeler had his shoulder sprained and
gave way to Scott. McFarland's Injury
was more serious. His ankle was dislo
cated, and it was found necessary to mova
him to a hospital in Harlem. All the
Brown men escaped without serious in
jury, but nevertheless they were badly
used up.

Against the Scrubs.
Princeton, N. J., Nov. 13-,—The 'Varsity
lined up this afternoon against the scrub
for two short halves. Owing to the ab
sence of Hillebrand and Baird, who were
at the Yale-Harvard game, the team was
weakened. Kelly appeared on the side line,
but did not take part In the practice. The
coaches have decided to give him a thor
ough rest. In hope that he can take part
in the Yale game.
FOOT BALL ENDS IN A FIGHT.

The t'nnnillnn Premier Makes a Good
Impression at Washington.
Washington, Nov. 13.—While the plans
of the Canadian contingent now in Wash
ington in connection with the seal confer
ence are not finally fixed, It Is the present
expectation that Sir Wilfred Laurier, the
premier, with Sir Louis Davies, and his
personal following, will leave Washington
on their return home Tuesday.
Something of the view taken of this Can
adian mission by our government may be
gathered by the following utterances of a
high administration official who has had
dealings with the Canadian premier: “Sir
Wilfred Laurier has not only been re
ceived by the government with great con
sideration, but baa made on excellent Im
pression upon all of the gentlemen with
whom he has come in contact. Asa
staunch Canadian statesman he naturally
demands concession for concession. At
the same time he has shown a liberal spirit
towards the plan of Increasing the com
mercial Intercourse of the two countries,
and if he meets the views of the United
States half way there Is a very fair chance
of removing from the present field of view
the most important questions which have
produced so much irritation between the
two countries during the preceding period
of conservative administration in Can
ada.”

If He Is Not Caught It May Go Hart!
With Ills lawyer.
Columbia. 8. C,. Nov. 13.—1 t Is reported
here to-night that Constable Newbold has
been captured, but the report cannot be
verified. The reawrd of 3260 for his arrest
was published this morning.
The indications are that unless
Newbold is taken Judge Thomason of
Spartanburg will be made very uncom
fortable. It has already been publicly urg
ed that ha be arrested as an accessory
after the fact in the murder of Mr. Tur
ner. Newbold made his way directly to
this lawyer's house and told his atory.
The Judge telephoned to a livery stable
for a good horse and buggy, which wns
furnished and charged to him. Newbold
fled in that vehicle. When it did not re

WIDOWS OK SOLDIERS.
Creation of a Fund for Their Beneflt
to He Recommended.
Washington, Nov. 13.—One of the most
important recommendations In the annual
report of the inspector general of the
army is that a fund be created for the
benefit of the widows and orphans of mili
tary men. He says that the poverty and
desolation of these widows and orphans
suggests that the government, like some
of our model corporations, should provide
some inexpensive system in the army
which would more decorously provide for
this recognized contingency.
No More Appointments.
Washington, Nov. 13.—1 tls understood
that the President has decided to make

Angiintu and Atluntn—'The llrlmat
of the Georgia Road to Give the
Charleston mid Western Carolina
Any llusiness for the Coast the
Cause of tlie New Move.
Augusta, Ga., Nov. IS.—The fight seems
to be on In earnest between the Charles
ton and Western Carolina road and tha
Georgia. Since the Georgia railroad de
clines to recognize the claim of Thomaa
and Ryan to an interest in the Georgia
railroad lease, and refuses to give the
Charleston and Western Carolina railroad
any share of the business from the west to
the coast. It seems that the backer* of
the Charleston and Western Carolina
mean a fight to a finish.
To-morrow morning formal publication
is mode of a petition and notice of petition
for Incorporation of the Augusta and At
lanta Railway Company, which will tie a
competing line with the Georgia railroad,
and o;ien the way to the west for tha
Thomas and Rvan road.
Mr. Crawford, representing Messrs.
Thomas and Ryan, was In the city to-day,
but preferred not to be Interviewed re
garding the road. All that he would say
for publication was that the petitioners
were determined to curry out the plan*
as outlined in the petition.
Mr. Craig, general manager of tha
Charleston and Western Carolina, who
appears as one of the petitioners, is not
prepared to give any Information further
than Is contained in the petition. It 19
believed that It will not be a great while
before the surveyors go to work laying
out the route. As appears in the petition,
the road will ask the privilege of placing
the capital stock at 31,000*000, with privi
lege of increase. There is no doubt that
the Augusta and Allnnta will prove a
great feeder to Augusta’s business, be
sides making freight rates to the west
lower and passenger travel quicker and
cheaper. The petition is as follows:
“To .the Honorable Secretary of the
Stale, State of Georgia: Your petitioners,
whose respective names and places of res
