H. Consul General Advises
Americans to Quit Havana.
The SPANIARpS ARE EXCITED
The Nashville and Texas Sail...More
War Talk in the United States
Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.--It is believed
here to be true that Consul General L..
has unofticially suggested that Ameri-
cans who could leave ought not 10 re-
main in Havana, and it is reported that
many will make their exit on the steamer
Olivette which sails tomorrow.
Nashville and Texas Sail
GALVESTON, Feb. 23-Under orders
fr1Hn the Navy Department at Washing
ton, the gnnboat Nashville proceeded TO
sea this morning. She was shortly after
ward followed by the battleship Texas.
Both vessels steamed at once for Kew
West where they will rejoin the flag Of
Admiral Slcard. If they have received
any orders beyond that, their command
ers have been very careful not to dis
close them.
Wreckers at Havana.
KEY West, Feb. 2*.-The Merritt
Chapman wrecking tug Right Arm sailed
from here for Havana last evening. NO +
is thought that the vessel is now in Ha-
vana and brought to Captain Sigsbee the
reinforcements in the matter Of profes-
slnnal divers that he has so urgently re-
qnested. With this assistance it ia be-
lieved the work of recovering bodies
from the wrecked forward portion Of the
Maine will be greatly facilitated.
Senator Morgan For War.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 23.--ln the
Senate to-day, Mr.. Morgan said he would
not vote for a declaration of war against
Spain in disguise. He wanted the chal-
lenge made and picked up in an honor
able way.
Mr.. Morgan said he always believed
that the United States and Spain will
fight over Cuba. The contest now showed
that Cuba was lost to Spain as she could
not conquer the people Of the island.
The Spaniards are Excited;
HAVANA, Feb, 23-Inquiring into the
Maine disaster progresses along definite
line. The results so far may be sum-
med up in the statement that the proba-
blllties that it was an accident seem to
decrease with the progress Of the inves-
tigation.
The most intense anxiety is shown by
the Spanish officials here, who are in
constant communication with Madrid.
They realize that the relations with the
United States were never so much in
danger OF rupture as now. This is the
general feeling
The commercial classes here are hope
full of American Intervention on peaceful
lines. but what they base their hopes on
is unknown.
The insurgents continue to win minor
military successes. The Autonomists are
restless, and some of the leaders seem on
the point Of breaking away from the
Government. Army officers continue TO
show an anti-American sentiment. They
are apparently the only class that does
not look for al early crisis.
