BOX WITH AN EXPLOSIVE.
Startling Find Near the Consulate at
Casa Neuva.

Casa NeuVa.
Havana, Dec. ia small box, appar-
emily made to contain samples of some
description, was found this morning at
Casa Neuva, where the United States
consulate is situated. An examination of
the box showed it to contain a tube filled
with an explosive substance. Fortunately
the cover was not removed in the ordin-
airy way, but was splintered open. I'm
derneath the cover was a piece of sand
paper, intended to light a box of matches
and thus bring about an explosion.
On Nov. "A last a tube, said to contain
dynamite was found on the premises of
the United States consulate at Havana by
n man who was subsequently, arrested by
the private Watchman of the consulate, but
the affair was classed a a joke, and the
man arrested was believed to be the indi-
vidual who placed the tube where it was
found. To avoid against any attempt
hostile to the consulate or its inmates, the
Spanish officials took precautions to pro-
tect the building and Consul General Lee.

the Chamber of Deputies to-day he made
a remark which has excited much favor
able comment, saying: Il might suggest
another reason for the interest which 1
