Dispatches from New Orleans say il
it reported there that private dispatches
have been received from Havana which
say reports received there that the
Spanish home government had acceded
to the demands of America in the Eir'
ginius case caused great excitement.
Those best inform assert that the
promises ofthe Spanish government to
the United States cannot be fulfilled as
they are considered humiliatiug, and

Some official confirmation or denial OF
the rumors was auxiously looked for at
Havana.
