BULLETINS OF THE EXODUS

! Madrid, April Observation-Disclosures
there are no important developments up
10 this hour, arrangements have been
concluded TO place American citizens and
their property throughout the country I'M
der the care of the British diplomatic rep
! resentatives in case the United States
| minister, General Stewart L. Woodford, is
/ compelled TO leave.
1t is known, however. that no instruc-
tons have yet been received by General
Woodford to place American citizens and
the property under the protection of the
British representatives.
General Woodford left the United States
legation for his residence at 1875 a. M.
The prevailing impression in political cir
cles as this dispatch is sent, is that Spain
will strive 70 the utmost to avoid war,
but doubts as to her being able to do so
are expressed in all quarters.
New York. April 6.--A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
A dispatch of the highest significance
was sent to Consul General Lee in Ha-
vana by the state department last (Tues-
day. night. 1t contained orders for him
to leave Havana at the earliest possible
moment.
New York, April Sat the Spanish con-
sulate in this city every preparation has
been made by the occupants for depar-
ture. Clerks and subordinate officers have
been busy copying documents packing
books and getting everything in readi-
ness for immediate leave-taking. Mem
bers of Consul General BaIdasanos's fam
lily have hidden good bye 10 their neigh
packing their household effects in the last
three days. 1t is said in consular circles
in New York that the French consulate
will assume charge of the affairs of the
Spanish consulate and this was not denied
at the French consulate.
Washington. April 6-Attorney General
Griggs stated at 1870 today that he IN
derstood that Consul General Lee would
leave Havana today. Whether all the
Americans would be got out of Cuba he
was not sure but Assistant Secretary Day /
was credited with stating that all of them
would leave today.
Havana April 6-The temperature here /
today is high. but 1t is due 10 the sun I
and not TO excitement. Individual cases.
from business men to nervous ladies' are I
plentiful where apprehension takes the /
form Of hurry, but just the same, every /
plan has been made TO leave the city at a /
moments notice.
The government deserves great credit 1
for the fact that in a time of national /
excitement the best Of order is preserved /
in Havana. The streets are as quiet as .
the most exacting could ask. while the !
ordinary vocstions are pursued without /
break or molestation.
The Mascotre arrived here this NOM /
ing and VIII be loaded on her return with /
passengers eager TO get 70 the United /
States.
The Fern. Bache and Mangrove are still
in the harbor. With no orders and with
no indications Of leaving for the north.
II is safe TO say that Havana. AZ this
hour is far qureter than Washington
New York or Chicago. OF course many
business men have made their rrepara-
tons 70 suspend trading unru times are
Quieter and the vexed questions are sA.-
tied
