The Caban Troubles.

IL is understood that the State department has
received no intelligence from Spain TO indicate
an inclination on the part OF the Spanish au-
thoritles TO recede from the agreement EN-
lOdied in the protocol as prepared by Minister
Polo and Secretary Fish. In regard to the late
press dispatches from Havana giving extracts
from the letter of resignation OF Captain Cen
eral Jouyellar, the department has as vet re-
ceived no official confirmation of the report.
There is held 10 be ground to discredit il be-
cause, even IL the captain general has RESI- gned
he would Lot make public the contents of his let
ter of resgnatiOn-at least not before il had been
received and acted upon by the home govern
ment and second, for the reason that admiral
Polo, the Spanish minister, received an OFFICIAL
dispatch from Madrid this morning in
which no mention whatever L. made
of the captain generals resignation
In this connection II NAV be well to saw that
the press dispatches from Havana printed this
morning ATE credited by many Of the govern
meRt officials, and Ii is supposed that the news
OF this morning will soon be coJoborated by
official dispatches. The work of placing the

Navy department, and IL is officially minated
that IL will not be suspended until Congress
otherwise orders. A prominent naval officer
