TERSBURG, Dec. 13.—The Neovosti say that the absence of protests irom the other powers at Germany's evi- dent determination to remain at Kiao Chou Bay indicates that the partition of China has aciually begun and will pro- ceed quickly. Another newspaper expresses the be- lief that the United States among other powers may object to the permanentoccu- pation of Kiao Chou Bay by Germany. Russian official circles, however, appear indifferent 1o the step taken by Germany. BERLIN, Dec. 13.—A number of ciy. ) military and university deputations at Kiel waited upon Prince Henry of Prussia oun Saturday to wish him bon vovage. The rector of the university said: *In all German jands the feeling pre- vails that we are reaching a decisive turn- ing point in the history of Germany. The German universities, which are the nurs- eries not only of science but of patriotism, stand beside the Fatherland whenever its honor or greatne-s are at stake.” Prince Henry repiied: 1 enthusiastically undertake the voy- age (to China) at the personal instance of the Emperor and with the counsciousness of ihereby coniributing to Germany’s micht and greatness.” The Prince add. “‘There zTe reasons to hope for a peace- ful solution of the difficulty witk China.” B e R e [§ JULID N/ SANGULLLY A TRAITOR Reported to Have Ten- dered His Services to the Spaniards.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—At the Cuban | junta h-adquarters and from other sources here, it was learned that Sanguil- ly’sloyalty to the Cuban cause had been under suspicion for some time, and that his reported action in offering his services unconditionally to General Blanco was by no means a surprise. Delegate Tomas Estrada Palma, how- ever, spezking for publication, said that he could bardly believe that Sanguilly had capituiated, but that he did not attach much importance to the report if trune.

She | was afraid to open the front window, fear- | ing that the crowd would thus obtain en- trance, so she thrust the weapon through a cautiously unlatched side window ana fired a chot at random into the darkness. The sound ot departing footsteps was the only noise that followed the shot. At daybreak the frightened woman, with her child in herarms, slipped throuzh arear door and made her way to York's Ranch, several miles distant. York prompily made a visit to the Tippett homestead, to find lying in front of the side window a dead Mexican, with a bullet hole through his head. The deid man | | HUMBERT OF ITALY. | | FOURTH PAGE.

FRANKFORT, Ky., Dec. 13 —There is now little doubt that a vigorous ficht to repeal the charter of the Southern Pacific Railroad will be renewed in the present session, and the fight made last year wiil be strengthened by the fact that the pres- | ent session will be dominated by an over- whelming majority of free silver Demo- crats and a strong anti-cor tion ele. ment. The fight made against the com- | pany before was led by Senator Goebel, | who introduced and advocated the repeal | bill and denounced the charter as having | been passed by corrupt influence and as | being legislation that was gotien through without being understood by the legisla- tors. At thai time the Legislature was composed of 69 Republicans, 69 Democrats and 2 Populists, one Populist voting with the Democrats and one with the Republi- | cans, this being the vote on party ques-“ tions. Huntington sent a heavy lobby here ana secured the Republican leaders to commit | that party in caucus against the repeal | bill, and with the corporation Democratic | lawyers succeeded in defeating that bill. | The Assembiy is now composed of 101 free-silver Democrats against 37 Repub- | licans. Sentiment has been growing against the company 1n this State, owing to its failure to comply with the frauchise | |law and its position in reiusing to pay | taxes, California interests have been at work here to that end, and itis said the bill will be urged to Le tzken up as a pariy meas- uie. The company has refused for two vears to even report to the franchise board, but, apprehensive of such iegisla- tion, have filed a report within three weeks before the meeting of the Assembl, The Southern Pacific Company has al- ready engaged the abiest counsel in the State to look after both lezal and political .spects of their interests here.

Copyright, 1897, by James Gordon Bennett. PORT AU PRINC Dec. 13.—More trouble of a kind similar to the recent Lueders affair is threatened in Hayi and Port au Prince may have to face another menace of bombardment. Italy has long bad claims against Hayti and these it is alleged mever have been settled. One nee 1893, at Port anu Paix whose vessel and cargo, worth $430,000, were, it is alleged, illegally seized and sold by the Haytian Government. Another case was that of an Italian fisherman who was as:assinated here last Octover, the maa who was accused of com- mitting the crime not having been brought to justice yet. Italy, it is reported, intends to push the settlement of these claims at once, and rumors have reached here that Italian warships are being sent to back up the demands. A new Ministry accepted office to-day. It is constituted as follows: Minister for Foreien Affairs, Bentus St. Victor, form- erly Foreign Minister during President Salmon’s term; Minister of .the Iuterior, Tancrede Augnste, who was Minister at the time of President Hyppolite’s death; Minister of Public lnstruction, Carme- lean Antoine, one of the best Port au Prince and Commissioner of t.e Haytian Government National Bank; Minister of War and Marine, Granjean Guillaume, senator; Minister of Agricul- conte, & good finan- cier; Minister of ace, M. Plaisance, the Senator, who has presented in the Senate several good plany for tie redemp- tion of currency and the reform of the financizl condition of the country. The new Ministry is loosed upon asa thougnt the proclamation will have a good effect in quieting the people, who have been threatnning an uprising ever since the late Ministry surrendered to Germany's demands.

LA TOURAINE SAFE. The Overdue French Liner Is Re- ported as Passing the Lizard. LONDON, Dec. 14.— The French line steamer La Touraine, Captamn Santelli, from New York December 4 for Havre, re- garding which some anxiety had been felt owing to her being about two days overdue, passed the Lizard at 4:10 this morning. fort during the entire session. He spent a great ceal of money to prevent the re- veal of the charter thaterables him to rob the people of neariv ali the States of thie Wes:, especially of California, who are now appealing to the people of Kentucky to aid them by repealing this charter. The Southern Pacific has no track nor vroperty of any sort in Kentucky, ana therefore it should not be ailowed to exist on a Kentucky charter. It could notop- press the people of the West, as it now does, if the Kentuckv Legislature would repeal ‘the charter, that it has no right to.” Justies Brew-y's Work, WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—The retire- ment of Justice Fiel . from the Supreme Court of the United States has made nec- essarv the new assignment of Justice Brewer to the ninth circuit in addition to his_duties in the eighth circuit.
