An in cident occurred last night at San Luis, about 25 miles north ot Santiago, which caused a great deal of ill-feeling among the Cubans and considerable annoyance among the United States military offi cials here. All tbe colored regiments are en camped in tbe neighborhood ot San Luis. They were sent there virtually to got them oat of the way, because of the difficulty experienced in managing them. The colored officers seem to have little or "no control over their men, and officers and privates are often teen drinking together, with arms around each other's neck, and behaving in other ways not calculated to inspire respect for the American troops among the Cubans. It was not expected that the colored soldiers could do much haim in San Lois district, which was chosen on that principle. The trouble began last evening in an attempt to arrest two sol diers for abusing a Cnban workman and stealing his hog. Tbe outrage was committed on tbe Normas sugar plantation. Lieutenant Jose Ferrora, chief of General Wood's gendarmes in that section, a Spaniard but a Cuban sympathizer, and a man whom Gen eral Wood knew to oe able and courage ous, attempted to make the arrests. The soldiers, who belonged to the Ninth immunes, escaped. Soon after, 80 colored men, wearing the uniforms of the United States army, attacked tbe house where Lieutenant Ferrora was and kept up a regular fusilade, killing Lieutenant Ferrora, Antonio Roman, an old man; Emilo Betteran, a boy of 17, and a baby, and wounding several others. Two soldiers wen killed in the affray. I A PEACE DEADLOCK Spain Holding Out for Better Financial Terms.

Washington, Uov. 17. In a cable gram to tbe navy department from Nas sau today regarding the Maria Teresa, Captain MeCalla says: "After a careful examination of the stranded ship and the situation, and careful consideration of instructions from the department, appreciating the great interest taken by the nation and government in the fate of the Teresa, I regret exceedingly to express tbe opin ion that it is hopeless to expect to res cue tbe ship. Craven, Blow, Hobson and Crittenden confirm my opinion. The wreck is stianded in from 16 to 21 feet of water, with her head to the northward." After describing the condition of the wreck, he says: "In consider inn the praoticability of rescuing the Teresa, the fact must be considered that she lies upon a coral reef, with but a thin layer of sand, on tbe windward side of an island constantly exposed to seas due to trade winds and to the influence of many storms developing to tbe eastward or southward. The character of the bot torn makes anchorage off the eastern coast of the island dangerous." REVOLUTION IN SALVADOR The People Dissatisfied With the New Federation. New York, Nov. 17. A cable dis patoh received in this city from Liber tad, Nicaragua, Bays that a revolution has broken out in Salvador. It is only a fortnight since Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua joined their destinies and formed the United States of Central America. Merchants and commercial men in this city who are familiar with affairs in Central America, however, were not surprised when informed that a revolution in Salvador was reported to have bioken out. While the federation of the three countries was approved and carried out by the presidents and commissioners appointed from each country to draw up a constitution, tbe people ol balva' dor were not enthusiastic over the new scheme, particularly as it appears that the financial burdens of the new state will fall most heavily upon them. Not on the Programme. St. Louis, Nov. 18. At the Century theater, in course of the presentation of I Pagliacci, the tenor, Franoesco Colletim, carried out the finale of one of the acts by a bit of realism that was not on the programme. With unwont ed ardor Mr. Collenz wounded Miss Nedda Morrison, the prima donna, in the arm with a dagger. Blood spurted forth from a wonnd in the left forearm. the aoiess fainted and the ourtain was rung down. Manager Levering called for a physician from the audience. Dr, Thompson responded, and speedily re vived Miss Morrison, who was forced tq reture to her hotel. The wound is not serious. . Krag-Jorgensens for the Army. Washington, Nov. 17. Secretary Alger, after conference today with Adjutant General Corbln and Major Shaler, of the ordnanoe bureau, decided that the United States armories have progressed with the manufacture of Krag-Jorgensen rifles to a point where he could undertake to arm the entire army with this weapon. As fast as the rudb can be packed and sent forward, the Springfields in the hands of tbe sol diers will be retired and turned into the arsenals. Meteorio Display. San Jose, Cal., Nov. 17. The meteorio display of Leonidas, occurring but thrice in a century, was observed at the Lick observatory on tbe 13th, and the two preceding nights, the fre quency not exoeeding six meteors per hour. Photographs were taken with two telescopes, and tracks of several meteors were platted. Huntsville, Ala., Nov. 17. Five deaths occurred among the troops quar tered here toduv. all privates. Paris, Nov. 17. The Spaniards do-, clare that their refusal to sign a treaty based on any Philippine terms thus far suggested by the United States is irre vocable. They say that they do not and cannot view the taking oi the Phil ippines as anything else than a wanton ravishment of their possessions, unless it is accompanied by a financial con sideration of appreciable size. There fore, the turn ot events in the peace conferenoe depends upon the purpose or the willingness of the American commissioners to extend their financial terms. The Spanish sovereignty in tbe Phil- ippines is now clung to by the Span iards chiefly as a means to obtain financial relief, if possible. Persons near to Spain's creditors be lieve that, should tbe Americans as sume the Philippine debt, or pay Spain its face amount in cash, the Spaniards would sign. If they have not already done so, the Spanish commissioners will ultimately advise the Americans that they must not permit any controversy as to the binding character of the mortgage rest ing upon the revenues of the Philip pines to pay the so-called Philippine debt Tenacious adherence to this claim would set up on tbe Spanish side an ultimatum under whioh no treaty would be signed whiob did not stipu late that the Philippine revenues should pay tbe Philippine debt. In such event, the Americans would probably claim that the Philippine debt of $10,000,000 amounts to $20, 000,000 in gold, of which about $11, 000,000 has been employed in fighting the United States, leaving less than 110, 000,000 chargeable in gold to the Philippines, Indeed, the United States would doubtless contend that even tho reduced amount was used in fighting the Filipinos and object to tbe Spanish conclusion that it iB a fair charge against the Americans. Trouble will arise, however, before that stage is readied, as the Spanish commissioners will undoubtedly inform the Americans that the latter have no right to exact a schedule of Spain's ex penditures or any explanation regard ing the destination of the money secured on these loans. A Spaniard who is posted as to the exact status of affairs, informed the correspondent this evening that he did not believe tbe Spanish commissioners would take their final stand at tomor row's session, although ho thought it possible that they might finally decline to continue the discussion except with in the limits of Spain's construction of the protocol. ThiB is another way of saying Ppain may cease her conten tions. Should she doao she would make an open protest to the world against "spoliation." ' WORK OF AN INDIANA MOB. Colored Democratic Stump Speaker llrutally Beaten. Seymour, Ind., Nov. 15. Tonight a masked and armed mob took out of jail , John Baird, a colored Democratic stnmp speaker, who had been imprisoned on the charge of obtaining money by false pretenses.

Instead of obeying the order, he went to the pros- . ecnting attorney and sheriff for protec tion. Half an hour later he accompa nied the shoriff and posse in search for members of the mob. It is not known whether or not the assault upon him was inspired by political spite. Another Investigation. Washington, Nov. 16.
