Grande-Two Filibustering Ex-
petitions Successfully Landed.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The Off
cial advices from Havana received by
the Spanish Minister, Mr.. De LONE,
continue to be reassuring. A dispatch
sent at s o'clock last evening said that
the city was perfectly quiet Another
dispatch sent shortly after midnight
and received early this morning stated
that a few people gathered in the pub
lie park about 10 o'clock last night.
There We're no demonstra tons, and I'M
der ordinary circumstances no attention
would have been given to it. as the
park is the central public point of Ha-
vana. AS matter of precaution.
however, the patrol Of soldiers on guard
asked the people to move away, and
this they did without demonstration or
the exercise Of any force. By II o'clock
the troops were back in their quarters.
AS no further advices were received
up to noon to-day, it is taken for grant
ed by Senior De Lone that the Havana
authorities have no apprehension, and
that the situation is quiet. No sur
prise would be felt, however, if there
were sporadic gatherings of groups in
city of Havana's size, particularly on
Sunday.
1t is a custom of Latin countries for
the people to make a holiday of Sun
day, and the streets are usually filled
with those otherwise engaged during
the week. The customary outpouring
of the people doubtless will occur to-
morrow, and may serve as an incen-
tive for the congregating of groups, but
it is said this should not be construed
into a popular demonstration, and no
uneasiness whatever is felt that it will
be the occasion of anything more than
few vivas, even if so much.
During the afternoon the Minister
! was in receipt of advices from Senior
Congostos, showing that up to o'clock
the city of Havana had been absolutely
calm.
Up to noon to-day the State Depart
| ment has received no advices under
| to-day's date from Consul General Lee
at Havana Late last night General
Lee sent dispatch saying that every
thing was quiet, and that the theaters
and places of amusement We're open.
To-day Senior Gown, a member of the
Autonomous Cabinet, arrived at Ha-
vana, and this also, 1T is said, may serve
as a pretext for some vivas by Ultras
Gown has been at Atlanta Ca, since
the Autonomous Cabinet was formed
He is regarded as the strongest man
| of that body, and for that reason hts
appointment has excited intense hostil-
ity among the insurgents and their
friends. 1t led to a movement to in
suit him personally as he passed
through Tampa, according to infor-
nation submitted to the Spanish Min
ister This led Senior Gown to change
his route, making a sea trip by way OF
New York. He sailed from there last
Saturday. In view of the movement
against him at Tampa, it would be no
surprise to the legation here if the
same ultra element at Havana took his
arrival as an opportunity for similar
expression against him.
| A cablegram was received at the
State Department this afternoon from
Consul General Lee, at Havana, stat
| ing that everything was tranquil.
