COMMENTS OF THE JUNTA.
euesada Thinks 1t Means Spain Can't
Protect Americans.


Washington, Jan. 2.-Senor Ouesada
secretary of the Cuban junta, and Senior
Albertoni, of the Cuban staff in Washing
ton, were about the capitol during the
day comforting with members concerning
the Cuban status
Mr.. Quesada said: ''The sending of the
Maine to Cuba, whatever be the official
version is, In our opinion, proof that things
are in such condition in the few Spanish
strongholds that anarchy reigns and that
Americans and American property, unable
to find protection at the hands of the
Spanish government, have now the protec-
ton of their own vessels. 1t is a declara-
tion to the world that the United States
are not afraid Of the Spanish rabble which
seems to control the Spanish officials.
1.-THE attitude of the Spanish papers and
officials is that the presence of an Ameri-
can warship I'm Havana does not mean in
tervention, but this is most natural in view
of the present troubles in Havana, and
that Mr.. de LONE will declare that his
government Is delighted. But we shall
soon hear from Gen. Weyler's subordi-
mates in Cuba and Spain"
Senior Albertoni added that the sending
of the Maine will be justified by future
events. From his ACQUAINTANCE with the
Spanish methods, he says, there is great
er reason for apprehension than he has yet
shown and he declares that as soon as
Spain finds that Cuba is lost a carnival of
slaughter will be inaugurated by the guns
of Moro Castle and the fortress of Cabanas
trained on Havana.

of the Cuban junta in this city to-day
there was some surprise expressed at the
explanation given by the state department
for the dispatch of the battleship Maine
to Havana.
AS far as hostilities are concerned, 1t

out.
The only Interpretation he put on the
state departments action was that it

Louisville, KY, Jan. 24-The angry wa

when they swept into Fourth street and
flooded the first floors Of several saloons.

now almost certain. From every point
above come reports Of swelling rivers

at least four feet more. This will put
the water way up Fourth street toward

buildings there.
