that a demonalrallon may bo precipitated ,
any moment by an clement made up of ce
tain Americans of strong anti-Spanish te

that bo does not fear any disturbances ai
riots coming from the Cuban people. Tl
suggestion that the Weyler element Is threa
cnlng riots is emphallcally repudiated 1
Ihe captain general. General Blanco c
presses complete confidence In his ability
preserve quiet among the native people * . I
Is convinced , he says , lhat a riotous demo
stration at Havana amounting to an eve
act designed to precipitate war between t !
United States and Spain Is being eystoi
atlcally fomented by a , certain class of Arac
( can citizens.
Blanco clearly aud unequivocally declar
that the presence of American orrespon
enta In Cuba makes Ihe situation , in i
view , more critical.
This was Ihe only reference Judge D ,
would make to the many different stories'
to the agitation at Havana , Iho danger

threats against General Los's life. The a
ststant secretary conveyed the strong li
presslon that these reports of dlaturban

probable that American naval officials w

letter mentioned In the tcitlmcriy of Henry

signed "An Admirer. " Itsna In SiunUh

calker and diver , probably the be t In the > ? c
parts , did the work to bring about the ex
plosion of the Maine.
I went to Hcijla and discovered thit the
family of the- dead man , who lived In th ;
utmost misery In a house In Rodquez , hai
moved to a well furnished one on delabor

I learned that they had agreet

that the name Pepe Taco must have been i

By that time It Is hopsd the cculser Colum

completed by tomorrow night so that th

Commodore Schley said today that he ha
received no official notlflcatlcn that th
yacht Mayflower had been designated aa hi
dUipatch boat. He had written to tbe de
partment suggesting the a&slgnnicnt of
boat for that purpose aa a matter ot con
vtnlence. He was positive that It was <
necessity , because tbe steam launcher ) wer
Inadequate , especially If tbe squadron shoul
go Into action.
The rumored completion of the squadro
by the addition of several monitors can no
be confirmed. The fact ls that monitor
would be absolutely valueless to such
squadron as this , especially designated fo

Tbe Minneapolis will Join tbe fleet Ui !

On the Brooklyn today there were at leas

Commodore Schley liea oot received deftnit
