About 80 Cuban patriotic clubs have
been organized In Havana under the
management, in a large number OF
cases. OF physicians. lawyers and pro.
fcssional men. Many members OF some
OF the clubs attended tho first meeting
wearing the Cuban and American flags
crossed. The presiding officers Of sew
eraI Of the clubs, noticing the insignia
! in the buttonholes Of the coats OF the
members, ordered that in future only
| the Cuban flag should be worn. In
many instances this order was complied
with.
The Cuban general, Rego. has ar

and is preaching in the Havana cafes
and the insurgents camps near the

/ traitor to the Cubans who has been
bribed by American gold. The col
onel. in an interview with one Of the
leading newspapers in Havana, made all
sorts OF charges against Garcia and the
Americans, but the censor would not
allow an account Of the interview to be
published, fearing that 1t might give
rise to disturbances.
A secret circular has been sent to the
presidents of all the Cuban patriotic
committees, sdenouncing large num-
beI of Cubans. who are looked upon as
traitors TO the cause OF Cuban inde-
/ pendence, and are charged with being
attached to the Americans. The circu-
lar recommends vigorous contest
against not only Spanish residents, but
against the Americans as we'll, who
are endeavdring to steal the Cubans'
victory"
The Spanish colonel. Cerve,a, mill
tary governor Of Mariana. pays daily
visits to the insurgent camps in his dis
lrict, advising the Cubans not to SUR
render their arms and to make resis-
tence until the independence Of the
island is declared. Colonel Cervera is
an intimate friend of General Parade,
president OF the evacuation commission.
/ During the last two weeks. several
hundred Remington carbines and large
quantities of ammunition have been
sent from Havana, it is presumed, by
some of the Spanish chiefs. The Span
ish fesidente. manufacturers. merchants
and planters are somewhat alarmed
and criticise in very seEere terms the
behavior OF some Of the Spanish chiefs.
who, II Is alleged, are acting suspio-
iously in many places, and are working
in favor OF Cuban independence, advis-
ing the Cubans to persist in their ievo-
lutionary attitude. For this reason,
many Of the Spanish residents here
have written long letters to friends in
Madrid in order that the home govern
ment may be acquainted with what is
happening In the island, and have re-
Quested that on behalf Of Spain's inter
ests and the part Of the Spanish resi-
dents, the evacuation may be completed
as soon as possible, so as to avoid pro-
longing the existing dangerous condi.
tion of affairs.
Owing to the fact that Spanish Off.
GERS are selling commissaIy stores at
any price obtainablc. the army supplies
are now drug on the market in the
interior, making legitimate trade i'm.
possible.

Cuba draws to close, corruption and
