y Senior Romero Y Robledo made a violent
and-goverhment speech, accusing the min

treat directly with the United States for
peace.

Santiago de Cuba, the newspapers here ex-
press great anxiety, which is increased by
Il the report that no reinforcements have

or Holguin.
The papers complain of the extreme

city cannot fail to affect the very exist
ence of the government, but thus far per-
feet tranquility prevails.

censure the return of the three Spanish
torpedo boat destroyers and the two coal
laden transatlantic steamers, which are
