l , HAVANA QUIET AGAIN.

‘ Oraen Publico Force Dish-.mded After 'a
i ' Partial Payment of Arrears.
I Havana, November 14.——The Orden
Publico force, cavalry and infantry
regiments, has been disbanded after a
part payment of arrears has been
made. The trouble leading to the 'dis-
bandment of the force began with the
protest of the Third Company on
Thursday morning before the Palace.
At that time General Solono, chief of
the staff of General Blanco, addressed
the men and led them back ‘to their
quarters on Compestela. street, where
:the men gave cheers for Spain and
General Blanco. General Arolas, Mili-
tarv Governor of Havana, ordered
more. than 4,000 troops quartered in
the outskirts of Havana to march into
the city, where they "arrived at night—
fall. Alt the head of a. portion of these
troops General A~rolas marched toward
the Ord-en Publico quarters, where the
protesting Third Company was drawn
up in the street under arms. The reg-
ulars refused to charge or fire upon
their brother soldiers, who were final -
1y persuaded to retire to their quanters.

Baring these slight incidents, the
military authorities have maintained
thorough control of the city. The sum
total of the casualities Thursday night
was three: A lieutenant on General
Arolas’ staff, wounded in the right
hand: one Orden Publico wounded
slightly, and another wounded serious-
IV. The city has again resumed its
normal «tranquillity, although regulars
are still quartered in the principal
streets and parks of the city as a pre-
cautionary measure. It was expected
by the leaders of the demonstration
that the Gu'ard‘ia Civile and pant of
the artillery brigade'uwou'l-d lend their
support, but they did not. ,

An Official Report to The Nvay Depart-
ment from Commander Craven.

Washington, Nov. 14.—An official re-
port t’o the navy department of the
finding of the Maria Teresa was con~
tained in the following cable dispatch

back to Cat island with instructions
to Commander.Craven to take posses-
sion of the Teresa and drive off the
wreckers who are looting the ship.

that the Teresa, a vessel drawing; in
trim twenty-three feet of water, and
waterlogged as she was when abar-
doned, probably drawzng nearly thirty
feet, should have been driven into 13
feet of water is regarded by naval oili—
cials as evidence of the great strength
of the storm which caused her crew
to abandon her.

HEA’RD HIS OWN PRAISE:

Dr. S. Wier Mitchell Had an Interesting
Experience in Paris.

'A Detroit friendofDr. Weir Mitch-
ell, the eminent author and famous
medical specialist of Philadelphia,
tells the following story on the doctor
which he says relates himself.
whenever the occasion permits, with
the keenest relish of its humor.

It appears that some years ago Dr.

1.
LAC

,Mitchell was troubled with :1 nervous

ailment, induced, it was thought, by
his unfingging energy in his two
lines of work. Ills condition became

so serious that he went abroad. think- '
ing that a. change of scene and a giv- ‘

ing up of his labors might tend to
make a veil man of him. In Paris
he suffered an attack of the old
tremble and deemed it well to call up—
on a certain specialist

name he was familiar. as being that

of a man famous on both continents."

He visited the physician purely as
a patient and did not even give him
his name.

During the conversation preliminary
to the examination, the Parisian said:
“I see you are an American.”

“Yes,” answered In: Mitchell, “1 am
an American.”

“ Vhich is your home city?” he was I

asked. anzl replied “Philadelphia.”

The French physician held up both
hands and exclaimed: “What, a man
come to me here in Paris to be treat-
ed for a nervous ailment when his
own home is in Philadelphia, where
resides the most famous nerve special-
ist in the world!”

“To whom do you refer?” asked the
author.

“Ah, you have never heard? Why,
to Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, of course.”—«

GREATEST OF TABLE TALKERS.

Volubility of the lion Chancellor While at
' His Meals.

When in the course of his tour
round the world, Gen. Grant went to
Berlin and had an interview with
Prince Bismarck—then at the height
of his power—lie carried away with
him the impression that the German
Chancellor was the most interesting

, conversationalist he had ever met.
9 Carl Schurz, who subsequently came
E to Berlin and was entertained by the
‘hanccllor, said that the best table
talkers he had ever known were Maz-
zini and Oliver Wendell Holmes, but
that Bismarck was better than either.
‘It was a strange anomaly that one
of the wisest men and best table talk-

ers of modern times should have been
born on “All-Fools’ Day”—-the best of
talkers, because the greatest man of
action, of modern times. And how in—
finitely more interesting must ever be
the talk of a man who has done great
things than that of a man who has
only thought great thoughts? Bis—
marck himself never published his
autobiography, if :he ever wrote one.
. But when his own memoirs come to
see the light it will be found that
, much of their interest has been. dis-
? counted by the autobiography which
' he has already spoken. For, in addi-
tion to being the greatest acter of his
time in the literal meaning of the

- word—deer, achiever, author of events,
maker of " history—~he has also been
one of the greatest talkers in the
sense employed by Gen. Grant and
- Carl Schurz, and much of this talk
Has been about his own accomplish-
; ments. Indeed, there might now be
, written an ingeniously compiled book
, entitled “Bismarck. By Himself,” in
. which nothing would be used but. the
Prince’s own words—Review of Re-.
_ views.
