HOSTILE SENTIMENT.


Notwithstanding assurances from
abroad a painful impression is caused
in Cuba by the knowledge that a con-
siderable element among the Spanish
classes rejoices with little secrecy over
the disaster. If instances were Isolated
it would not be important. Unfortu-
nately the verified cases are too many
to support this charitable view. In sew
eral places Spanish army officials have
drunk tOasts that other vessels of the
American navy may follow the. Maine.
In MatanZas where mutterirgs were
heard at the time of the Montgomery
visit the iustransigeants newspaper La
Region, published an article saying in
substance that the calamity to the
Maine was a judgment on the United
States for sending ship to Havana
as an affectionate sign of sympathy
toward the suffering and herioc Span
ish nation"
The tone is ore of mingled sarcasm
and mock coincidence. In a frequented

the bin of fare was Chicken a Ia

This indicates the feeling of a part
of the populace, especially of the volun-
teers. While aware of these manifes-
tations, Captain Sigsbee and Consul
General Lee concur in advising against
sending further warships to Havana at
present.

TROOPS WE'RE cHEERED.


At first there were no signs of force
to preserve order, but as the crowd
increased a company of republican
guards. headed by buglers and drum
mers, a detachment of police and two
squadrons of cuirassers were drawn up
on each side of the square in front of
the prison. The troops were received
with cries of "Vive l'Armie."
1t was o'clock before NJ. Rochefort
arrived. The crowd flocked around his
carriage, shouting ''Vive Rochefort, y
and ''Vive la Commune, the police be-
ing powerless to restrain them.
NJ Rochefort aiighted, waving his
handkerchief, and escorted by the peo-
pie, walked to the prison gates. About
so of his friends, including Ernest
Roche, one of the deputies of arls. the
editor of LIE Journal and the assistant
editors OF the Intransigeant, accompan-
led him inside the building amid con-
tinuous cheers from the populace.
The warders, with the governor of the
prison at their side, were waiting, cap
in hand, and respectfully received the
prisoner.
The crowd meanwhile dispersed, sing
ing the .'Carmagnole" and shouting
'Vive Rochefort" and ''Nive la Com
mune," and completely blocking traf-
fic on the Rue Mononge. So far, though
there was much excitement, the crowd
was good humored.

Suddenly a new gathering of 5000.
headed by William Millevoye, Thiebaud
and Regis, marched toward the Pan
theon yelling Down with lola" and
Death to the Jews" The police formed
across The road and stopped the pro-
gresS of the demonstration.
NJ. Thiebaud and Millevoye began
haranguing the crowd from some steps
despite the efforts of the police to dis
lodge them. They advised the crowd to
dispense in orderly fashion, but to keep
on shouting loyalty and reserve its
strength for another occasion.
NJ. Thiebaud eulogized M. Rochefort
as the man who will Toll the knell of

Finally the mob dispersed amid
shouts of "Conspuez Zola,'' and SINH

1t is learned from what may be con-
+, sidered a semi-official source, that
divers sent down on behalf of the
United States to examine the wreck of
/, the battleship Maine have made pre-
liminary report of the result of their
work
Incredible as it may seem. it is said
that after a partial examination of
the magazines of the Maine, the divers

is intact.
According to the correspondents in
formant the contents of these maya
zines are unframed. Therefore if this
report be true, an entirely different
aspect is given to the terrific explosion
which brought death and destruction
TO the Maine.
PROMPT ACTION.
This report reaching Key West, it is
said, caused the members of the court
of inquiry to decide to proceed to
Havana and begin their investigation
at once instead of organizing the court

day evening.
Upon reaching Havana the court will
make a personal examination of the
wreck and viii then take testimony re-
garding the loss of the vessel. When
the Mangrove sailed it had not been
decided where the board would con-
vene, but Admiral Sicard told your
correspondent this evening it would
probably meet either on board the
Mangrove or the Fern, the supply ship
of the North Atlantic fleet which is
now in Havana The admiral added
that the court would. in all prob
ability, hold another session in Key
West before its final conclusions are
reached.
EXTERNAL EXPLOSION.
New York, Feb. pa dispatch to
the Tribune from Havana says:
- The Maine is actually in ribbons,
but enough of the vessel remains to
make possible a determination of
whether the explosion came from with
out or within The officers of the
Maine do not publicly discuss the the
DRY of a submarine mine, which may
have been set off by explosion, but it
evidently has weight with them. They
are particularly anxious for points to
be gathered from the examination of
the plates of the hull. Their ioeli5f is
that these will have to establish wheth-
er the explosive force came from with
out or not

portside has not been fully settled, but
the weight of opinion seems to be that
