Harder Times In Cuba Now.

Havana. April 17.-Advices received
here from Mantanzas say there was
much alarm in the city yesterday, ow-
ing to new tax on provisions. The
stores were all closed and the bakers
were not working. There was no bread
in town. In addition there was Il scare
ity of other food of all descriptions.
This aroused the people. and groups of
the Inhabitants paraded the streets
shouting against the tax. The police
eventually interfercd. charged the riot
ers and made several arrests amons
the merchants of the town.
In Havana the value of Spanish mon.
ey is going down and the prices of pro-
visions are going up. There is more
and more anxiety felt to know the re-
suit of the crisis. Business is slow and
the state of uncertainty causes depres-
sion among all classes. Everybody
here seems eager for quick solution
of the question one way or the other.
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1898-04-21

On a scale which was regarded as re-
markable for those days. The expedi-
ton included nineteen ships, twenty
FIVE heavy guns and two thousand five
hundred sailors and marines. Ac-
companying this fleet were civilian
plenipotentiaries prepared to present
the demands of this government and
snforce them by calling on the fleet.
The expedition made formidable
showing in South American waters,
and President Lopez government was
awed into complete subjection by its
presence. The American commits
sioners and naval officers were receiv
ed at Asuncion with much honor, and
every reparation within the power of
the republic was given. This included
an abject apology, sweeping disa-
yowal, and $4,000 for the sufferers
from the outrage. AS the republic was
willing to grant full reparation, the
naval expedition did not exert the force
1t was prepared to use in case of re-
,usal. When the facts of the expedi-
Ion were reported to Congress-, the
President said that the dispatch of this
formidable naval fleet had had a salu-
:ary influence Throughout. the world.
