EXCITEMENT IN HAVANA.
A Rumor Of the Escape Of the Edgar Stuart
Fires the Spanish Heart-Threat to Sink l%e
Filibustering Vessel and All on Board.

The following despatch has been received from
our special correspondent with the United States
fleet on Dry Tortugas:-
NEAR DRY TORTUdAs.
FLEET RENDEZVOUS, via KEY WEST. Fla,
March l, 1874.
The United States steam war vessel Fortune
which has just arrived from Havana, reports that
there Is considerable anxiety IN that city regard
ing q startling rumor OF the escape OF the Edgar
Stuart from American waters.
SUPPOSED AID FOR THE CUBANs.
Spanish anger and fear are both aroused to a
very high pitch, since small amount OF succor or
reinforcement may make world OF difference in
the fortunes OF the insurgents in the west of the
island, whose fortitude and patriotic impulse have
not yet abated, despite the weary length of their
struggle for liberty.
PROBABLE FATE OF THE FILIBUsTER
Consul General Hall expressed the belief that
the Edgar Stuart will be sunk, IL caught, with all
hands on board, and that the vessel sinking her
will be sent to remote station.
The Wabash goes to Havana tonight on mis-
sion in connection with the anticipated future
complications arising from the rumored move
ments of the Edgar Stuart, should her escape
really have taken place.

DUTCH HARMON Gagged AT LAST,
The Omcers Of Two Precincts claim ing
the Credit Of the Arrest.

The Omcefs or Two Precincts Claim ing
the Credit OF the Arrest.
Harmon LedendOrr better known as "Dutch'
Harmon was last night arrested by three Officers
Of the Twentieth precinct at the corner of
Twenty-elghth street and Tenth avenue. The ar
rest, as lar as could be learned, was Effected in
this wise Harmon was seen standing in Tenth
avenue, between Twenty-siXth and twenty
seventh streets, by Oficer Cormlck OF
the Twenty-nnth precinct, who had been
detailed by Captain Mccullough to search for the
desperado. C0rmicK ran up and. catching Harmon
by the back OF the neck, placed his revolver at his
head and ordered him to surrender. Harmon
lodged under the o6lcers arms and
ran up Tenth avenue like a deer, carry
ing the officers revolver witch MIN, one chamber
OF which had been discharged. lie was met
when near the corner OF Twenty-eighth street by
Onicers Fitzgerald, Gallagher and Joyce, of the
Twentieth precinct. The former Oficer, recognizing
sharp run caught him. Harmon, while the officer
was running after him, cooked the pistol aud
pointing az the Onicer's head, pulled the trigger.
The revolver, however, was only half cooked
and failed to do any damage. Onicer
Cormick claims the prisoner his, while
the other officers say that they should receive the
credit OF arresting him, as he undoubtedly would
have escaped had Offlcer Fitzgerald not been so
prompt in following him. Harmon some time since
escaped from the New Jersey State Prison at
Trenton, to which place he was sentenced for five
years for committing q burglary In Jersey City. lie
IL now arrested on suspicion or having murdered

road deDOt few days ago.

organized, while half a century after the land
ing of Ingolf the island was divided into
shires and hundreds, general Legislative and

organized, while half a century after the land
ing of Ingolf the island was divided into
shires and hundreds, general Legislative and
judicial assembly was created, and the old
Republic, more aristocratic in its forms than
in its essence began its existence. The three
and half centuries of this Republic form the
golden age of Iceland, during which its seal
die poems were composed or collected. its
codes of law compiled, and its more important
historical sagas committed to writing.
The settlement of Iceland, which peopranbi-
cally is itself part of the Western World,
led to the colonization of Greenland and to
the discovery of the mainland of North
America, the coasts of which, probably as far
south as the Gulf of ST. Lawrence, were re-
peatedly visited by the hardy northern navi-
gators IN the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth
centuries. Some years ago the zeal of society
OF antiquaries at Copenhagen reconstructed
the Vinland of the old sagas and
placed it in the modern New England
but more faithful Interpretation of the
chronicles of Iceland removes this land of
vines to region further north The same
spirit which impelled its early navigators to
explore the unknown seas of the West, which
made its scalds-those Teuton1c trouba-
dours-the laureates of every northern court,
which melted its sagamen to become the an
nalists of all the surrounding kingdoms, still
exists modified by the circumstances of the
age, in the modern island. 1t is seen in that
fondness for learning which is O trait Of every
class of these islanders, and of which so
many striking tales are told by travellers. 1t
is evinced in the long struggle with Denmark
which preceded the abolition of the odious
commercial restrictions, the exciting scenes Of
the Constitutional Convention of 1S47 and the
present political attitude of the inhabitants
who steadfastly refuse to acknowledge the rule
of the Danish Diet. This sturdy and in
tensely national spirit will give an enhanced
interest to the approaching anniversary, and
will go far to make it the beginning of new
era in the islands history.
