WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.--Such informa-
tion as the State Department has received
to the situation in Havana is conhrma-
tory of the unofficial dispatches. and shows
that quiet reigns' in the city. and that the
impression of the officials here that the
riotous spirit had either exhausted itself
for the time being or had been suppressed
by the strong hand of authority is jusu-
fled. The situation was briefly alluded to
in the Cabinet meeting to-day. and was not
regarded as warranting any change in the
attitude of our government.
Minister De Lone has written the State
Department denying the truth of the re-
port that the customs officers of Havana
have thrown obstacles in the way of land
ing the supplies sent from the United States
for the Cuban sufferers. The State Depart
ment is satisfied that, regardless of any diff
fculty that may have. been experienced,
there will be no trouble from now on in
promptly placing in General Lees posses
siCn for immediate distribution any sup
plies that reach Havana harbor in the regu-
lar manner
