Havana, April 11.-Havana is guard
ed more closely than ever, the Arolas
battalion being posted around the linn
its of Vidano, the swell suburb of the
city.
Within the last two days a number of
Cubans have been arrested and are now
confined in the Cabanas fortress,
charged with various offenses.
Some say the prisoners have been
engaged ia a plot to assassinate United
States Consul General Lee, and others
assert that they have been acting as
spies for the United States government.
There is no doubt that the Spanish
government is more alarmed than 1t
has ever been before and is taking ev-
cry precaution.
There are reasons to believe that
there was a plot to kill General Lee,
and that 1t was allowed to come to
head by the Spanish detectives in order
that they might get credit for defeat
ing it.
