AT HAVANA.
City Full Of Conflicting Rumors
Warlike and Otherwise.

HAVANA, April 1.-THE night was
hot, the morning was cloudy and the
city is full of political rumors, warlike
and otherwise, and decidedly conflict
ing in tone.
The morning newspapers print ex-
tracts from President McKinleys mes
sage, and comment upon it from vari-
Gus standpoints. The Spaniards pro-
fess great indignation at the report
that the question of the origin of the
explosion which wrecked the Maine in
Havana Harbor on February 10Th is
to be referred to Court Of Arbitra-
ton, with the object of determining
the amount of indemnity due the
United States if the explosion is proved
by this court to have occurred outside
the warship.

alleged plan of the defense of Kew

A dispatch from Matanzas announces
that DR.. Leicuna, a prominent resident
of that place, has been imprisoned on
the charge of conspiring against the

SHOULD WAR OCCUR.
The First Shots Fired Likely to
Create Rioting at Havana.

KEY WEST, April 12.-Great interest
is felt here in the preparations made by
the Government officials to land troops
in Cuba should such a step become nee
essary. An officer of high rank with
the fleet, when questioned on the sub
ject to-day, said that While he was not
aware of any such arrangements haV-
ing been made he presumed the neces-
sary steps in that direction had been
taken He added that the fleet itself
could not transport a sufficient num-
ber of men to pnakeA ans fefficient land
ing party. Therefora Lapsports must
be provided, as it will -he NECESSARY to
disembark, a. strong force. of troops in
Cuba, failing which the first few shots
fired are likely to be the signal for
rioting in the city of Havana and else
where, notably in the Provinces of Ma
tanzas and Pinar Del Rio, in which case
many lives will be sacrificed.
A Spaniard of position said to an
Englishman just before the latter left
Havana on Saturday last: LAS soon as
the certainty of war is known here
there will surely be such a demonstra-
ton as Havana has never known be-
fore. I dread to think of the conse-
queiCeS W llle anu property manly

and they have no idea how to handle

Dispatches received this morning
from the Sand Key fleet show that
quiet prevails on those warshipS, but
the officers and men believe that they
will most certainly be off to Havana
very shortly The work of coaling and
watering goes on, so that the ships may
start with full supplies.
Other local papers publish extracts
from the message.
lei Diario de la Marina" in it's ed
itorial, says: '"The message is a great
disappointment for the jingos and sep
aratists, who expected that Uncle Sam
would declare war President McKin-
ley sustains General Grants opinion
that Cuba is not yet prepared to take
the status of an independent nation,
and that, therefore, if the United States
interfered it would do so with the in
tention of annexing the island. Gu
bans must elect between the American
yoke and autonomy. If they choose
the latter, they must try to finish the
war as soon as possible in order to
have the right to a modification of the
existing autonomous regime"
Eel Diario de la Marina" says it is
reported that Consul General Lee will
return to Havana Wednesday, but it
says it does not believe the report.
The same paperalso asserts that Mr..

charge of the American Consulate, de-
voted yesterday to quieting the Amer
ican citizens who wanted to leave the

WASHINGTON, April 12.-In antici-
patton of a call of the National Guard
OF the States and Territories to assist
in the national defense in the case of
war with Spain, Adjutant- General Cor
bin Of the army has compiled a mass
OF interesting information in connection
with the strength of the National
Guard and the quota each State and
Territory would be expected to furnish
under calls for from $4,000 to 200, 0,0OU
men, first according to the strength
of the National Guard, and, second, ac-
cording to the population of the diff
ferent States and Territories. These
tables are very complete, and show pre-
cisely the number of men each State or
Territory would be expected to furnish
under the Constitution, regardless of
the strength of the National Guard's 5
organization in each State and Terri
tory.
In explanation of the table given be-
low, it may be stated that while the
total strength of the National Guard
of New York is 17,70O, in case the Ma
tional Guard of the country was called
upon to supply $4,000 men New York's
apportionment, according to. it's
strength, would be 5,7O5, and accord
ing to its population 5.005. In case the
call should be for 200,0 600 men, it would
be required to furnish %, $40 men ac-
cording to the National Guards or
ganization, and 20, $50 according to the
population of the State.
The following is the official appor-
tionment of the various States and
Territories on a basis of a call for 50,-
600 men, the proportions being main
tanned according to the same ratio in

MALARIA In CAMP.
The Camp Mount Hospital Removed
from n Tent.

The hospital at Camp Mount has been
moved from the hospital tent to the old
headquarters formerly occupied by Colonel
Durbin. This change was made necessary
by the prevalence of malaria in the camp.
While it is probable the sickness could have
been stamped out in the hospital tent, Mai.
Smith thought it unnecessary to expose the
men to the damp air when there was a
building at their disposal. Two new cases
were reported yesterday. Privates Geiger,
of Rushville and Bloomhuff, of Michigan

and-fifty- ninth Regiment was a visitor in

court has no standing in the regular army,
but as the findings of the court will not
probably come under the review of any

ELEPHANTS FOR ARTILLERY.
Ringling Brothers offered Their
Troupe to the Government.

Ringing Brothers circus, which is sched-
uled to appear in this city next Monday
was in Washington on the day the news of
Dewey's victory reached the national capt.
tai. On the spur of the moment the Ring
ling Brothers offered their troupe of ele-
plants to the government for service in
Cuba. These animals have all seen service
in the Punjaub and are perfectly trained to
the work of carrying or hauling any object
under the direction of their keepers. In Of
fering the elephants to Secretary Alger the
Ringlings pointed out the fact that the big
beasts could travel in places where horses
would be unable to force their way. More
over they are not subject to infection from
drinking impure water and can find plenty
to eat by browsing on the foliage of the
trees. With the help of the elephants the
Ringlngs feel assured the heavy artillery
could easily have been hauled to any posi-
ton General Shafter might have wished it.
To illustrate how elephants may be en-
ployed in heavy artillery batteries, the
Ringlings have purchased several pieces of
heavy ordnance. which the elephants drag
after them in the daily street parade In
declining the offer of Ringing Brothers.
Secretary Alger said that while the plan
had many features to recommend it to the
department. the government was not then
in position to make use of it, Reports from
all parts of the country indicate the big
show is larger than ever.

A CALL ON CAPT. ENGLISH.
Old Soldiers Welcome Him Back to
His Home.

Last evening at o'clock some fifty old
soldiers members of the G.. A. r., marched
to the Hotel English in a body, where they
called upon Capt. William e. English TO
pay their respects and evidence their ap-
probation of his services in the Santiago
campaign. The large meeting room of the
hotel was utilized, and after each of the
veterans had been introduced by Captain
Wright, monument custodian, a speech was
made on behalf of the veterans by Comrade
T. e. Francis, who eloquently welcomed
Captain English to his home, and declared
that the old soldiers henceforth considered
him one of their number.
Captain English who was visibly affected
made a speech in reply, saying that he was
moved more than he know how to tell them
by this cordial greeting and felt himself
most unworthy of it. He stated that he
had already that day been deeply touched
by the kindly, generous, gracious ovation
given him by the Republican State conven-
he had always been politically opposed, and
that this hearty welcome of the sturdy old
veterans of the civil war, following so close
ly upon it, stirred his heart to greater
depths than he dared trust himself to at
tempt to give expression.
The veterans then passed a resolution well
coming Captain English to their ranks as
comrade, and another requesting the cap
tain to forward their best wishes and kind
lest greetings as Union veterans to their
old Confederate opponent in arms, Flight
were then served, after which the gathering
adjourned with three rousing cheers for
Captain English and three more for his
gallant commander, General Wheeler.
Saturday evening the Columbia Club will
tender a reception to Captain English in
recognition of his services at the front.
