fully got settled down to work, and. the
third term, they are tired from their
years study. There are none of these

teachers say, and therefore, during the
coming ~ weeks, the students will &C
complish IA great deal. The Athletic As

CONSERVATION In Havana.

Here the utmost CONSERVATION prevails
in government circles. There is no deny.
ing that Havana is now, to all intents and
purposes invested by the insurgents.
Their columns are pressing unchecked
around TINS city, and the military authori-
ties seem to have fallen into a comnlata
state of helplessncss.
Stories are atloat here Of a wholesale
republican propaganda at work among the
soldiers from Spain, and it is claimed that
1t Will yet bear astonishing fruit But tho
most astonishing feature of the climax is
the cool manner in which the Insurgents
have pushed onward during the past IN
days. Right on the ground the Insurgents
have just traversed are several strong col.
umns of Spanish troops, said to numher
in all about $4,000 men, but we hear of no
lighting worth mentioning, skirmisb

Well-to-do people from the districts
around Havana are flocking hurriedlv into
this city. The price of provisions has al
ready begun to go up alarmngly. In tho
streets the hustle and hustle of the mill

traction and on all sides are TO be soa,,
signs of desperation upon the part of tho
authorities.
Every man or boy who can be placed
under arms has been called unon RI

landed every man and every gun available
for the defense of the city.
In the face q these preparations to repel
the enemy from without. the most yigor.
Gus plans have been laid out to battle
with an enemy which may spring nm in
the city at any time. The authorities are
not by any means blind to the fact tbat
when the insurgent guns are heard in the
distance, that may be the signal for a non

Many OF the prominent residents are A.

that orders have been sent to the com.

island to concentrate in this harbor. but if
this is the case the orders are likely to
reach them too late to enable them TO he
