EYES ON THE CAPITAL
Interest in 'the Cuban War
Centered at Havana.
THE SITUATION VERY SERIOUS
Murh ItrjirniU on llUncii TnUtlcal In.
flurnrn of that Army In Now
fJcnrmlly lifr'nnlrnl.
Nkw Youk, Jan. 17. A Bpccial from
Havana says ;
The perpetuation of Spanish power in
Cuba now depends on Blanco's ability
to maintain order in Havana. Until
the government shows itself master of
that city, no other question can be con
siderod. Ministry operations against
the insurgents are forgotten. Progress
with autonomy is a figment, The tur
moil seems ended for the present. The
presence of five or six thousand regulai
troops gives promise that the calm will
last long enough for a review of the
prospects. A single week has given
Havana a more vivid idea of what war
is than all the events of three years of
insurrection.
The tact and forbearance with which
the otlicera carried out their orders has
brought the government temporarily
through a crisis. When the mob was
crying death to Blmice and to autonomy
self-restraint was necessary. The cries
for Weyler were the most pronounced of
all. They Bhowed that he had many
partisans in the city who are determined
to proclaim themselves.
General Blanco has tried to aBsure
the Sagasta ministry and the people of
the United States that the riots have
not political significance It would be
well for the government if this were so,
hut it is not. The ultra Spaniards are
taking ofT their hats to the army. The
people who were rash enough to criti
cise its officers are hastening to make
apologies.
The army is hereafter a dominant po
litical force in Cuba. Its officers may
start no more riots, but the epirit which
pervades it will influence other classee,
and that epirit is one of hostility to au
tonomy. The firmness with which the
iron hand of military repression is
stretched over the city may keep down
further outbreaks, but though the ten
sion will not loosen for a long time to
come, the property-ownerE, who are
mostly ugainst the political policy of the
government, have every reason to join
with it In maintaining order. They
all'ecied to bo satisfied with what hns
been done.
The volunteers are certain to continue
in a state of ferment, but they are not
likely to break out in open revolution.
They seem to be fixing their minds on
securing General Blanco's recall. The
demonstrations they make are likely to
have effect in Spain. With thut in view,
the disturbances they have made are
bringing the question of American in
tervention to a head. Its desirability
has been privately suggested to Consul
General Lee by Spanish merchants, but
they are slow to comuit themselves to
hopes or to take lormul action.
General See's advices to the state de
partment ure conservative, but set forth
the real situation clearly. He does not
recommend immediate intervention, yet
he does not take a hopeful view of the
ability of the Spanish authorities to re
store public order permanently,
The government newspapers deplore
the rioting, and say that it has done
more for the revolution than Gomez or
Garcia could have done. They also say
that it will have a bad effect in the
United States.

Bomto.v, Jan. 17. Eighty thousand
skilled operatives employed in about
seventy of the chief cotton mills of the
New England states will today come un
der the sweeping order of a new wage
scale, which entails a reduction of ten
per cent or more.
This reduction brings on, in New Bed
ford, Mass., and Lewieton and Bidde
ford, Me., labor strikes which may prove
the beginning of a battle greater in ex
tent and more disastrous in effect than
any in the previous history of cotton
manufacturing in the United States.
The strikes will be directed by the
labor unions, the lead being taken by
the mule spinners' union, the national
executive committee of which has sanc
tioned the strikes and promised finan
cial aid.

Shut Down at New Hnlforil.
New Bedkoui), Mass., Jan. 17. A
shut down, the most complete in the
hiBtory of the cotton mills of New Bed
ford, Began this morning. Not a spin
dle was running nor a loom in motion
in factories of cloth corporations an hour
after the usual time of going to work.
Between forty and fifty operatives went
into the Bristol mill and twenty-five or
thirty into the Whitman, bat, aside
from these, no mill made any show of
running, and these two shut down.
Nine corporations, operating eighteen
mills in which upward of 0000 hands
were employed, are involved in the
stiike. The cut is uniform all over the
city, 10 per cent.

Offenders of high rank at the Rus
sian court were punished in a singular
way by Peter tlx- Great. It was the
duty of everybody else at court to con
sider and treat the delinquent as a
fool. When Anne, the daughter of
Peter's elder brother, Ivan, came to the
throne she originated an even queerer
form of punishment. She decreed that
a certain prince should become a hen,
and for this purpose she had made n
large basket, stuffed with straw, and
hollowed into a nest, with a quantity of
eggs in it. This was placed in a con
spicuous place in the queen's palace,
and there, under pain of death, the un
fortunate prince was obliged to set day
after day, imitating the cackling of the
fowl he was supposed to represent.
