UNREST - -AvANA.
o ion OF Nolunt,,-- sus B'anco Uneas
iness Gen. Pando Not Yet Heard From.

New York. Dec. Sin spite of the
calming effects of President McKin-
| ley's message. the attitude Of the Ha-
vana volunteers continues to cause
considerable anxiety to the govern
ment, says the Havana correspondent
of the Herald During the last week
there has been n considerable number
of regular troops concentrated In the
forts and barracks, prepared to in
stantly suppress a demonstration The
volunteers are in sullen mood, but
their animoslty, 1t is believed, is di-
rected rather at autonomy than ut
Americans
Another grievance of the volunteers
is rumor that General Blanco is de-
sirous of utilizing the vast force of
volunteers idle in the field, or at least,
on garrison duty. To this the volun-
teers are strenuously opposed and IL
is believed, Will proceed to any lengths
rather than surrender the cherished
privilege of combining their military
duties to occasional parades and guard
duty at the palace and the bank.
That there Is formidable latent op-
position in the ranks of the volunteers
TO autonomy there can be no question,
and 1t may take form at any moment
In Sasua la Grande, the intransi-
gents, among whom the volunteers are
included, are throwing every obstacle
in the way of the establishment of
autoioiiiy. IHey declare that IL SDain
cannot protect them. they desire Ameri-
can rule, but that they will never sub
NIT to be ruled by the Cubans. In this
movement, Carlist influences are an
parent as the intransigentes have de-
clared their intention of wearing n
white Carlist badge on their hats
While In Havana no open opposition
has yet developed, General Blanca Is
considerably embarrassed by the fail
ure OF the autonomists and reforrnists

which progress is considered Imnossi-
BILE. Much dissatisfaction is EXPRESSED
at the long, tedious delay of the pub-
LEGATION OF the precise text of the au-
tonomy decree.

Pando Is awaited with nervous exper-
tation Rumors that he has been
Killed continue to be circulated. vnr1ad

we have made in behalf OF our indie
