THOSE MINE GALLERIES.
Spaniards Explain Away the Pass
ages Under Havana Harbor.

Havana, Feb. "a, (via Key West,
Fla, Feb. 24).-In connection with the
claim made by the Cubans that there
are mine galleries under the harbor of
Havana, leading from subterranean
passages, and known TO have existed
for years before Fort Cabannis, Moro
Castle and this port, the SpaniardS eX-
plain that for over a century sub
terranean passage about two EAiles long
and eight feet at its narrowest diane
ter, capable Of giving passage to a
column of troops, had existed from the
navy yard to Castillo del Principe. But.
the Spaniards further assert, the exist
ence of this passage was not known to
the present authorities or to those who
have been in power for many years
past. The entrances and exits, it is
added, have been closed for years past
by the thick walls now covered with
debris, and their exact location is said
to be lost. At the same time it is adj
mitted that matter regarding the sub
terranean passage can be found in old
documents contained in the archives of
Havana Finally, the Spaniards insist
that this passage does not go under the
harbor at any point.
Under the surface here there seems
TO be deep feeling of unrest. No one
believes that autonomy is or can be
anything but q name, and there is a
still more deep rooted belief that the
United States will not suffer the pres
ent condition of things to continue
much longer.
New York, Feb. 24.--The Press says:
Cubans IN this city ridicule the re-
ports of a tunnel under Havana harbor.
Arturo Arguila, who has spent most of
his life in Havana, said:
In my opinion, the whole story is
built upon the subterranean passage
that connects with Moro, a land pas
sage which has been in existence for,
we know not how long. 1t probably
extends back to the early part of the
Eighteenth century, and was con-
structed for the purpose of affording a
means OF escape from the outer for
tresS, Moro. to the inner, Cabannas, in
the event Of an attack. I have been
through it half a dozen times 1t is
now pretty well choked up, and there
is not man living today who remem-
bers when it was put to any practical
use"

At the beginning Of hostilities he did

PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE.

Roster g. Balls congress OF foreign stars
were given a warm welcome at the Provi-
dence Opera House last evening. and the per-
formers we're well worthy OF the greeting
extended them. The whole performance is
an enjoyable one and there are many inter-
esting feats OF strength in which is something
that is pretty near science, there grace, ease
and au exhibition OF strength and physical
development that could not fail to be inter-
esting, ana there was here and there line
that was up to tho regular roof-garden limit,
though in the whole performances there was
nothing that the most fastidious could, with
reason, object to.
The performance opens with the clever
athletic work Of the Picchanni family, and
about as many amazing things are done as
is possible to crowd in the time they are
upon the stage. The work of Silvern and
Eineris in the flying ring was about as excit-
ing as any of tho work Of the evening, and
the many daring acts of these two fearless
acrobafs held the entire attent tion OF the large
audience. Some very pleasing melodies are
given by the Kingsley sisters, aud the mar
velous performances of Herbert's trained dogs
clo es tine first part OF the entertainment.
John q. Fox and Katie Allen make all that
Is possible OF the clever skit, "The Flat Next
Door" and they introduce some good songs
and some clever dancing. The Picchianni
sisters give a number of interesting aero
batic feats in skirts Of the regulation length
that fully justify their excellent reputation
among the lovers Of. exhibitions Of strength.
Clarisso Agnew's songs meet with great
favor, and the demands for eucores last even
ing we're very persistent. Charmion closes
the performance with her clever and inter-
esting disrobing act, and the disrobing is but
an introduction to some of the cleverest of
trapeze work. The fearlessness and the ease
with which she accomplishes her daring work
makes tire closing number unquestionably the
most popular ON the program.
This aggregation Of merit will he at the
Opera House this and tomorrow evening, and
tomorrow afternoon there will be matinee
performance.
