HAVANA IS UP IN ARMS In Fear of Mutinous Troop. Funny Side of Situation. Havana. Nov. 11. ffhe threatened uprising of troons because of unpaid salaries for months resulted last nfght in General Aroles summoning a large concourse of troop? from the country to keep order. ' Artaillery was posted at the central park to sweep the prado and surround ing streets in cass of an outbreak. Strong bodies of troops surrounded the Plaza del Vapore and the oublic barracks ,are under 'a heavy guard Troops swarmed everywhere and gave the city the appearance of being in a state of sedge. The whole affair has its comical sfide, as after each threatened uprising, when the troops declare they'll cue their commanders to pieces and commit aM sorts of outrages, thetr commandeTs deliver pompous speeches to them aibout their "honor," glorious Spain" and "patriots willing to suffer for their bleeding country." The troops) throw their hats into the air and shout. 'Viva Espana," and it lis all over. This sort of thing continued all day today, but no clashes occurred.

W, Lancaster and Jeanette H. Martin against the Ashevilile street railway company, The Atlantic Trust company. W. A. and A. M. White and George B. Moffat. In 1888 to secure the payment of an issue of $50,000 of bonds the Asheville railway company duly executed and delivered to the Atlantic Trust com pany of New York a first, mortgage. conveying to the latter as trustee all ts property and franchises. Lancaster and Jeanatbe H. Martin acquired some of these mortgage bonds. There has never been any decree of foreclosure of the first mortgage. Shortly after the Asheville street railroad company went into possession of the propterty on the 7th of January, 1895, the sheriff of Buncombe county, by virtue of an exe cution issuing from the Superior court upon lidgrfln ffivwrSaratr Canfield, solid to C. A. Moore tall its franchisee and property and put Mr. Moore in possession thereof. Immedi ately thereafter the Asheville street railroad company brought suit Tti the Superior court of Buncombe county agiainst C. A. Moore for possession of the property, alleging that the sale was irregular, fraudulent and void. Pending this suit J. E. Rankin was appointed receiver of all the property in controversy between the parties, and is now acting in suchcapacity. The suit of the AsheviiJe street railroad com pany agansit C. A. Moore lis still pend ing in the State Superior court. On the 18th of April, 1898, the plain tiffs in the present surf1 made a written demand upon the Atlantic Trust com- pany that they foreclose the mortgage in accordance with Its terms. The At lantic Trust company declined to do so, alleging as a reason for such refusal that a majority of th bond holders had not joined in the request for foreclos ure, as set out in the mortgage. The plaintiffs then brought suit for the appointment of a receiver in the place of the present incumbent, J. E. Rankin. The decision . reviews the whole case,, and concludes as follows: "It does not (appear upon the proofs submitted that the . defendant, the Asheville Street Railroad company, ,oi the defendant, George B. Mofrat, is purposely delaying the settlement of the case of the Asheville Street Rail way company V3. Charles A.

Determined not to Yield to America's Demands. Spanish Hopes Now Centered. v on Emperor of Germany. Empty Answer From the- Otben Great Britain Stiil -With us. Paris, Nov. 11. Spain' is making a, final effont to secure at least the friend ly interposition of the powers. France has replied that Inasmuch as she now is furnishing hospitality to the jciut J commission it would be unbecoming for her to exercise her slight influence on one side or the other. The current version of Russia's reply is that it wa friendly, but empty. Irn Berlin ' th promised visit of Emperor William was the first result of an official invi tation from Madrid to Germany to stay the hand of the United States. The Spaniards will seek pretexts to delay negotiations until an opportuni ty offers to consult Emperor William. Your correspondent is given emphatic assurances from the highest) Spanish authority that Spain will never con cede the American demands for Phil ippines, but for the reasons above in dicated will try to avoid a rupture at the next" session, of the Joint commis sion. J The -situation does not adoait of fur-. ther argument, and the Americains clttt' insist on acceptance or rejection oC t their terms It is practioallyi certain they will do so. L . - ENGLAND'S ATTITUDE. It 4s by no means foreign to the' situation to point out that Engand'S extensive war preparations are a great er guarantee to America' that she will be allowed to settle her affaiir with Spain without interference. British ar mament at the present crisis may ba only a cciincidence, but it is worth as much to America as though it was un-. ' dertaken for her especial benefit. DISBANDMENT OF CUBAN ARMY Santiago, Nov. 11. At1 Guanlanamo this morning General Wood appointed General Pedro Perc-z mayor of Guantaj namo.
