HAVANA, Feb Awhile was sitting in my box
in the Tacon Theater. on Thursday Nvnnins, iist"n
ing 10 the music Of Crspino noticed that several
ladies quietly left their boxes aud the theater, and
further, that there seemed to be o gen.
eral feeling of uneasiness. During the en-
reacts 1 learned that large body Of
Volunteers, unarmed, however, had assembled
at the Plaza de Armas in front of the CaptainG Gen
erals palace. and had demanded with loud cries
change of the DEGREES regarding the draft Iseems
to be the wish of the Volunteers to be allowed to go
into campaign by full battalons and not to be
drafted into service. In order to prevent riot,
ders given to clear the crowd. which was
done by a squad Of mounted civil guards. during
which, / am assured, some persons were
wounded and five killed. A strong force Of armed
Volunteers was then rapidly stationed on all the
streets of the city opening in the square in which is
the palace and no one allowed to pass. Pickets
of cavalry were also stationed outside Of Havana
and preparations made to put down any further dis
turbance.
The morning papers referring to the disturbance
condemn it as only the attempts Of the uneasy and
unruly spirits to be found in every large city, and
xnlxo nf
making an anti-Spanish show Of feeling
These troublous minds the Diario regards
as several dozen of leading, ambitions men,
who desire nothing better than the ruin Of the
island, and so many hundreds of docile, unrefect-
ing instruments Of their ambitious intrigues, who
follow like sheep the wild prompings of the master
minds. The Voy do Cuba sets down the number as
three hundred and over, who are always IN the van
Of every anti-Spanish manifestation.
The fact is that the recent decree Of the Captain
General and the other orders connected Herewith,
putting the Island of Cuba in q state of SIEGE and
providing for general draft have not met with
general approval among the volunteer element Of
Havana-that element which has so often,
through its leading representatives, offered up
for the country their lives, their fortunes,
and their sacred honors. To the universal liberty
allowed in the discussion Of all the measures adopted
in this island is due according to the poz de Cuba the
recent demonstrations. number of the 800 rascals
referred TO- not liking the wording of part Of the de-
crees, met at the Fountain of La India, in the Park
Ysabel H., and then in body proceeded down
Obispo-st. toward tho Plaza do Artnas.
Mono were armed, but many were in uni
form, and almost all had the red and yellow
rosette of the Volunteers in their hats. Their in
tention was go to the Palace and express to the
Captain General that they not in accord with
their colonies, who, two days before, bad offered
their adhesion to the Captain General, and had re-
sponded for the battalions they commanded Many
of the provisions Of the decree met with their
disapproval, and they desired some modifca-
tions; they wished to go into service
in full battalions commanded by their
own officers and surrounded by their own comrades
and friends. Such was their intention but it was
not carried into effect for the guard on duty at the
Palace was called out, and the Chief OF Police at
the head of ten mounted police charged the crowd
and dispersed it without trouble or bloodshed,
although many threatening cries were raised
and q general call to arms demanded. They
also shouted, 1--WE will return again - more
of usn In consequence Of this threat strong
forces of Volunteers were called out-Orderly Volun-
teers be it understood who could be depended on
and plckets of cavalry stationed at different points
of the city. The night passed In quiet, although
the occurrence gave rise to the widest rumors
Yesterday morning several arrests were made
The most notable one was that Of the ex-cure
of the cathedral here, Father Castro, who was
dsting uished in Havana for his fastidious habits
and his radical republicanism. Sehor Martinez,
formerly an editor of journal of this city, was also
arrested. Both persons are accused of being con-
cerned in the disturbance. and were yesterday, with
several other persons arrested on the same charge
and confned.n the Cabana fertilization. Their cases
will be the subject of courtmartial, as we are now
under martial law, and SO general seems to be the
belief that will go hard with them, that report
is current that Castro and Martinez have already
been tried and sentenced to death.
