JOB W OH

She seems to be free from any alarm
lest Spain may misconstrue her act
On Tuesday last We printed ! report
of an interview which Sun reporter
held with Bishop John r. Newman.
who has just returned to this cou ntry.
Cuba, and who is man we'll acouaint-
ed with affairs there. He saw many
evidences OF Spanish wea kness In Har
vana, which place he spoke OF as
..weakhold for the Government
forces" He ascertained that q large
proportion OF the population there are
secretly. if not openly. hostile to Spain.
He observed the lack of military disci-
pline among the Spanish troops. He
expressed the opinion that good-siz-
ed body of insurgents could capture
the city. He came to the conclusion
that there must very soon be some
kind of a change at Havana, for. said
he, .saffairs cannot remain long as
they are at present.
Bishop Newman's observations in
Cuba were in perfect agreement with
the advices which we have received
from trustworthy sources. 1t is no
wonder that Americans at Havana say
they s.would feel much more secure If
one of Uncle Sans war ships was an
chored in the harbor"
II trouble shall come, as it may come
any day. at Havana; if the hostile ele-
ments there shall become embroiled
with each other; if the volunteers
shall manifest the disloyalty which
surely exists in their ranks; if Spain
shall be unable to preserve order at
the Cuban capital with such OF her
troops as are yet stationed there; If the
lives and property of the American
citizens living In Havana shall be i'm
perilled, we trust it will then be seen
by the American people that our Gov
ernment has made all necessary pro-
vision for the protection of these citi-
zens. England guards the rights of
her subjects at Havana; and su rely
the United States ought to be not less
OF the rights OF peaceful
there.-N. Y. Sun.

Danger for Americans In Havana.

A message of last Monday from Ja-
maica conveyed US the news that Brit
ish war ship was hastily despatched
that day from the port of Kingston
bound for Havana. The belief there
is that 1t was sent to Havana for the
purpose of protecting the lives and pro-
perty of British subjects in the event
of revolt of the Spanish volunteers
who, at this time, constitute the main
part of the Havana garrison.
1t is fitting time to remark that
there are also American citizens and
American property in Havana. We
had despatch from there in Tuesdays
sam that these American citizens had
become "alarmed as to their safety" !"
The despatch also said that the Span
ish organs in Havana contained bitter
articles against the Americans, and
that Spanish officials had publicly de-
clared that the United States are to
blame for all the troubles of Spain in
Cuba. We quote further from the des-
patch:
american citizens who are mer-
chants. business men, professional
men, and who are permanent residents
here lin Havana], are very much
worked up over the outlook. They
would feel much more secure if one OF
Uncle Sans war ships was anchored
in the harbor."
Beyond doubt there is danger of
serious trouble in Havana. We have
had much news relative to the excite
ment and discomfort that exist thero.
The business of the place is protracted;
the ordinary supplies cannot be pro-
cured; the people are wrought up by
the frequent publication Of bulletins of
battles fought not far from the city.
The Spaniards do not trust the armed
volunteers, most of whom are natives
OF Cuba or permanent residents there.
There are in the city thousands of SYM
pathizers with the revolutions, the
more outspoken of whom are in prison.
The Spanish conserv atives, those who
compelled the Madrid Government to
withdraw Martinez Campos, are irritat-
ed beyond measure on account of
Spain's failure in the war and the de-
struction of their plantations by the in
surgents. The force of Spanish troops
in the city has within fortnight been
largely reduced by Gen. Marin, who
has ordered many regiments to the
west, and other regiments to the trocha
between Havana and Batabano, ana
yet other regiments TO the various
places at which Gomez and Antonio
Maceo appear from time to. time with
their forces.
Under the circumstances that exist
at Havana no one need be surprised II
we receive news from there OF a kind
which would approve the wisdom OF
EnglanG's 3 provision for the protection
of her subjects there, and also the de-
STABILITY OF q proper American provi-
sion for the protection of American
citizens their resident and American
interests there endangered.
England has made preparations to
meet any contingency at Havana. Her
navy is on the watch there. She does
not wait till an evil thing is overpast.
She does not wait for our Government.
