why wont my mower wont start?

I have a new battery but it wont turn over . smoke comes from around the starter and battery cables get hot. what's wrong?

stop trying it or you will kill your new battery.
sounds like the starter motor is jammed remove the starter motor from the machine and test it of the machine place it in a vice and apply 12v directly to it
my guess is it will not spin up
