MADRID Nov. 28. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Marshal
111 a n oo tins telegraphed such favorable ncw-B
of the Impression produced by the royal de
cree * In the colcnlcs that the government ,
wishing to strike the Iron whilst hot , de
cided to bring about under the transitory
dispositions of the royal decree the appoint
ment of members of the local government ,
three autonomists , one reformat , one con-
ce'vatlve , and If possible to secure the CD-
operation of Marquis Apeztegula. whilst the
presidency of the future insular I'nrllamcnt
Is reserved for the chief autonomist , Galvcz.
Financial circles are pleated with the Idea
that the government considers Cuban re
sources Kufflclent to justify the hope that
they will help Spain to liquidate the Cuban
war debt
The prees continues to discuss very eharply
the reforms the government had to prose
cute. El National , the organ of Ilomcro
Roblodo nnd Weyler , eritlclncs It In a violent
.article , calling upon the army , thr navy and
, the people not to tolerate such a policy. The
iCarllst i paper , Con'eo Espanol , denounces
the icforms as treason against which Car-
[ ' lists must protect and even make armed re -
iulEtance ! to the government. Cerllst agenls
[ are showing much activity In attempting
I to raise funds. Sllvela , chief dissentient of
I the conservatives , censures the new policy ,
especta'ly In debt end tariff matters. General -
I eral Azearraga considers It very risky , but
i I will welcome It If It bring * peace. Ma'hal
I Campos IB BO enthusiastic that he even offer * ;
! j to go out to Cuba if necessary , but deems
! set oral months of active warfare still neces-
jEary j to crush the Insurrection. The re
mainder of the press calls upon the nation
to give a fair trial to the policy BO sincerely
undertaken by the libc-al party , when It is
an open secret , as El Heraldo says , that
j I neither Sagasla , Moret nor a majority of
the liberals were favorable to autonomy a
few months ego. 1 nra able to state that
several foreign ambassadors warmly congrat
ulated the Spanish government on the re-
fo ms. which. In their opinion , are sure to
meet with approval bv the foreign powers.

WASHINGTON , Nov. 2S. The eta tllngatd
horrible Etory of the killing ot two Washlng-
tonlani and the mutilation of their bodies by
the natives of the Congo Free State , hae just
been received here In a letter to Mr. 1-eo
Harmon , of 1723 Ninth street N. W.
The men were members of a party which ,
during November and December , 1894 , and
January , JS > 95 , went from this city to enlist
In tbe Belgian army for service In the Congo
Fre < ? State. Thote enlisting Included Edward
Thornton , a commissioned officer of the
National Fenclbles. employed In the War
department ; LtndKiy G. Burke , Prank
Batcbellor , Harry R. Andrews. Barry Spar-
lln and Mr. Mellln , who 'was tt one time : *
, noncommissioned officer In the t'nlted Stales
| I army. All cicept Thornton and Mellln
] , were members of the National guard of the
DiRtrlct.
The information received by Mr. Harmon is
that Burke and a party of fifty natives -who
were sent out to dislodge a band of dwarfs
who had revolted , were ambushed and killed.
An Arab who was with the command , but
was some distance off at the time of the
ambuscade , states that he knows Burke -was
dead before the natives reached him and that
the most hideous looking little man he ever
MIW walked up and cut Burke's hrud off wl h
one blow of a knife The chief then begun to
slice pieces off his legs and arms and to dis
tribute them among hs : followers.
FIGHT OVER THE PIECES.
There were so many of the fienS * that the
ple-cen ere very email , and before they had
concluded there was a free fight -to see who
could get the little remaln'ng. In some
manner tbe d'warfs ' became alarmed and left
the place , one- fellow carrying off Durke'is
arm. The Arab saw the causs of their alarm
ae Windeey. a New Yorker who htd com
mand of another detachment of soldiers ,
fent out on the same errand , arrived a few
hours after the natives 4tvlt. Wlndecy gath
ered up the remains of Burke and burieJ
them. Whe.n Wlndcf-y learned the strength
of the re'bPls he hurried bock to Mlchau and
notified the commandant of the pest.
The other Waehingtonian who lost his life
was killed on M-ii-ch 1 , when the troops
under the command of Baron Dhaiia revolt
ed near Kabasbarre and assassinated a
number of officers of their regiment , among
them being Mellea. The body of Mellen wat ,
butchered almost beycnd recognition , hie
heart having been cut out and burcedso
that his courage could not again be used
against the rebels iby the whites. It is their
bellaT that unless the heart is burned coil
the ashes scattered to the four winds the
spirit of the man descends to'his brethren
Thornton te said to be in a very precari
ous situation at Buska. but a relief expedi
tion has been neat to his rescue. Gage an
other American , is-very Kick with the fever
at Nyangine. ! The killing of Burke occurred
in December , 189C.

said : j
"The business roro * nd officials oT Alaska

amplification of tfi law * us they are at

mit to conprcrt. a preposition to authorize tic
appointment of a roaunlttee which will con-
rider the nepds of Alaska on the ground. My
idea is that the cozutiifision should conslKt
of a senator , a representative , and three brna
fide residents cf AltisKa. U we are able to
get a commission w tn-thlng may be accom
plished for the practical good of Alaska.
Otherw.ne time devoid to Alaska will be
frittered away In tht conBldtratltni o * Ind'vld.
u&l bills of no benefit tothe country as a

"Many think Alaska should have a terri
torial form of govcriimrnt. The objections to
this are manifold , chief among them are the
spnt fe population of the country. A terri
tory means taxation , ' end the people are not
there to be taxed. Jtvfoulfl be of little uvoll
to submit to consrcs ! * resolutions for
change In the code now. hi existence. These
things must be InvcrtlsaU'd by a commission
which can ascertain the needs of the people
by personal examination. We want an ex
tension of the land -laws , the regulation of
the fis-h Industry , the naturalization of the
natives , the right of tpptal and laws for the
preservation of game.
"The smuggling evils mast be dealt with
by the commitElon. .Lwt year 11.008 gallons
of Canadian- whisky were smuggled Into

Governor Brady thinks that Alska will be
as great an sgrlculturjtl tnd farming country

to this city IP on private business. He will
not go to 'Wci-hington to attend the coming

VIENNA. Nov. 2E. The members of the
Austrian ministry today tendered their res
ignations to Emperor Fruncls Joneph , who
accepted them , and entrusted Baron Gautsc2 > ,
who holds the portfolio ot public instruf
tlon In the retiring ministry , with the taek
of forming a new cabinet.
ThU morning Eaiperor Francis Joseph ad
dressed an cutograph letter to Count Badcnl ,
decreeing the adjournment of the Rclchsratn
until further orders.
During Ihe assembling of Ihe Relchsrath
dense masses ofpeople , for the most psrt
workmen , thronged the RingtmsBe from the
unlversitj- the outer gate of the Hofbcrg.
A charge by mounted police , with drawn
swords , falling to disperse them , a body of
hussars cleared the streets at the point of
.bayonets , several persons being -wounded.
Two ambulance vans were sent to attend
Ihe wounded.
About 10.000 people -were at the came
time In front of the town hc.ll and Ihe pro
vincial court , to demonstrate In favor or
lierr Wolff , who was to be arraigned there
on a charge of public violence commlttoa
yesterday when being removed from the
Unterhaus by the police acting under the
orders of President von AbrahamovicE. The
police , -with drawn swords , dispersed them ,
one man's skull being fractured and two
others being severely injured. A third am
bulance was sent to the paint.
Simultaneously meetings of workmen
were held In various quarters of the city ,
bul Ihe police -dissolved these , making twelve
arrests. The streets cbocasie more quiet dur
ing the afternoon , but nt sunset thousand
leasscmbled In the Franges ring and the
Rathhaus park , where they Indulged In
stormy protests against the government , the
passengers in the street cars and omnibuses
which went by joining In cries of "Down
with Baden ! ! '
RESIGNATION QUIETS MOB.
Suddenly a change came over the scene.
The it-port spread like wlldlirc lhal Count
Badeni had resigned. The demonstrations
ceased almost Instsntly when Ihe news was
confirmed by ihe police aulhoritics and
Ihelr subordinates , who announced to the
people at various points that they weie in
structed to inform them of' the cabinet's
resignation.
Dr. Lueger , the burgomaster of Vienna ,
driving through the crowds , announced the
resignation from his carriage , repeating it a
little later from -the windows of the town
hall , With the addition that Herr GautRch
had bt-en appointed to form a cabinet. He
appealed to the people to return quietly to
their homes. His announcement was greeted
with thunders of applause , and an extra
edition of the Weiner Zcituns. with the offi
cial statement of the resignation , still further
reassured tbe populace.
Upwards CT .3,000 people tried to organize
a .dempimtration Jn the cvly evening io front
of the foreign office building , but this WOE
prevented hy closing the approaches to the
Iielace. After E o'clock tbe city was quiet.
The Judge of the provincial criminal court
dismissed Herr Wolff from custody.
There were demonstrations at Gratz and
Anascagh. ! n Bohemia.
The cabintt decided to resign about 2
o'clock this afternoon at a metclng of the
Council. Emperor Francis Joseph had pre
viously received Baron Banffi , Count Badeni ,
Count WelJcrheimb , the Austrian minister
of .national . defence , and Barca Gautsch.
CAUTIONS THE STUDENTS.
An order has been issued to the rector of
the University of Vienna declaring the uni
versity closed for two days and warning the
students lhat in the event of further excesses
the univerfity will remain closed Indell-
nllely. They aie specially cautioned to ab
stain from conflicts wiih the police , who oc
Iheir part , ihe order announces , will abstain
from again trespassing upon Ihe university
premises.
Il was about 7 Ihis evening when Hen-
Wolff was discharged and he was escorted
to his residence by a.large and enthuslaslic
crowd.
During Ihe collision belween the police
and the students last evening thp students
were driven into the building. The police
attempted to forcu their way in after fiem ,
but were repulsed .by the students , who from
tbe fiist floor windows pelled ihe police with
spitloons and ashes. During ihe conflict
ceveral persons were injured and aboui
sixty arrested.
It is asserted that the emperor at first de
clined to accept the resignation of tbe cab
inet , but Count Badeni replied : "Your
majesty , I cannot- take the responsibility.
Bloodshed will ensue If I remain In office. "
Thereupon the emperor reluctantly accepted
the resignation.
Baron Gzutsch de Frsiikenlburn. on whom
has been Ihrown ihe cdfficult task of con-
slrucling a cabinet capable of conducting
public buslresB in the presence of the vari
ous conflicting forces -al work in the Unter-
htut , if of German nationality. He is a
moderate and conciliatory politician , popular
with nil parties in Austria as well as among
tbe Hungarians. His appolntmenl is cure
to make a coed impression.
EMPEROR HASTENS HOME.
Emperor Francis Jossjih relumed lo Vienna
Ian night frrm visiting hit daughter at
WallEee. He VBE Informed thai Vienna WHB
on ihe brink of a revolution. The troops
Bload In readiness all night , the palace being
strongly guarded by a sjieclul force of police
and soldiery.
U U undeietood that Count Gulowohowskl ,
the AUBtro-Hungariaa foreign minister ,
sirsngly advised the emperor to dismiss the
cabinet.
AE an Indication of the unprecedented
character of the crisis the jiollee are tonighi
dUlrlbullng gratis copies of the Weiner
Zeltung announcing tbe resignation.
Baron Gautsch will form a neutral cabinet
of governmental officers and endeavor to
arrange au understanding between the Gor
man -and Czech bodice on the language
question.
Herr Wolff yeslerday reElsted wilh such
energy that he broke uway a portion of his
seatf It took six constables to overpower
him. Twice he .sprang out of the cab in
which he wat being -carried to the police
station , aud ae it drove off with him ut
a furious pace he fehouied to the crowd :
"People of Vienna , don't let your duputi.
Wolff , be arrested ! " The constables thrufct

his mouth and held U there.
There is no doubt that this arroet , to

VIENNA. Nov. iS. ( New York World
Cablegram. Special Telegram. ) In the
houte on Thanksgiving daj % la the
mldEt of deafening tumult , I aw
a motion read which nobody heard
and < paN ed < by nobody knows whom ,
for Indeed H WBE not pawed at all.
It wat. aimed at the ahstructloaistB and
placed autocratic powen. In thp hand < of the
president of IVuiiamrnt. This was a victory
for the government , but was unlawfully
won and a simpleusurpation. .
Thinking ywterday'ti Kft , lnn would be
historical. I went early , arriving when the
house was oaipty. In lialf nn hour 200 or 300
members were present on the floor and llit
galleries were packed. 1 was in the gallery
exactly opposite the preKld'nt'p tribune anil
had a perfect view. There wws jiot much
nolnc. The atmosphere wac charged with
suspctifce and expoctcncy. All the vast houss
was hold.ag Its broaith. A long wait , tliea
a stir , Q craning of necks , and by a ooor
far to the right the president and vice pres
idents entered. Tlie houte rose and n hur
ricane of insults and execratlote burst from
the opposition nncl blew them to their
placet. The right an v.-pred back and boih
sides roared and ohouted and stormed. Two
dozen socialists stood in a body , below the
ministerial fletks , and blioutefl up at the
president an-d chooi their Cets JurlouEly at
him. He ralstd to speak , ome words to the
hou at least one could me his lips move
and lie spread his large hend deprccatingly
over his breast , for If he is a tyrant he hss
some bepaechlng , perruaslve gestures not
seen elsewhere but among the angels.
MADDENS THE .SOCIALISTS.
That holy gesture seemed to madden the
group of socIaliBtF. All at once thpy plunged
over the barriers aud up through the minis
terial benches and one In n red cravat
reached np tnd snatched the president's
paper and another seized his bell. In Q
moment they wct- fighting and Ktrugglns
with the uniformed sen-ants of the hou , e ,
who'ejected them. At the came time others
of their group etornied up the side of the.
tribune , drove out the president end Tlccs
and followed them across the floor , hammer
ing the latter with their fists , but I saw
that no blow actually reached the president.
The socialists came lock and occupied the
president's tribune , and held It like n .fort.
The man * with a red cravat gathered tip nn
armful of the president's papers and threw
them over the fiont in u sort of snowstorm.
Meantime the whole house was howling ,
yelling , hanging on the flehks. South Af
rican thunder storms arc folld silence com
pared to it. "Rascals. " "scoundrels , " these
and less delicate epithets filled the air.
, MILITARY APPEARS.
All of a Ruddcn that diMunt door np&Lt'd
and down the floor of the brilliant and su
perb chamber came drifting the cpertacle
nnd fldbh ot sixty spiked helmetE , the moct
thrilling theatrical uurpriBe I ever saw. I
would not have miBttod it for the succession
to the throne. Moicover. It V.CE history and ,
belongs among the world's memorable days.
This force was icrclved with n tempest of
execrations from UIBont - party nnd victory
notes from the otlior. > et H won a hwvy d-v
feat for ell concerned. The banflsume of
ficer in command cared nothing for the re-
rsptlon. Ho walked up lu the tribune und
