ARE AMERICANS IN DANGER7
Ultra-Spnnish Circular Calling for n
Raid on Colony Distributed
In Havana

Jacksonville. Fla, Jan. GA special to
the Times-Union and Citizen from Key
West, Fla, says:
There has been much excitement in this
city during the last twenty-four hours,
due to an alarming telegram from Havana
stating that the streets had been flooded
with anonymous ultra-Spanish circu-
lar calling upon all anti-American clements
to mobollze and raid the American colony.
Captain General BIanco, fearful that the
rabd element of the city might attempt
such violence, has placed an extra mill
tary guard around Consul General Lees
office. Many of the Americans of the city
who believe they are in real danger have
prepared their affairs for any emergency.
This news is what gave rise to the rumor
that General Lee had been assassinated.
The feeling or uneasiness felt here be-
cause Of the proximity of this city has
been much allayed. especially since this
morning at 10 o'clock when Admiral ST.
cards imposing fleet of battleshlpS. con-
sisting of the New York. Indiana, Massa-
bar The Maine, Montgomery and Detroit
and the torpedo boats Cushing and pu-
pont left the harbor IL O'clock and
joined the fleet, the whole maxing an
impressively formidable appearance and
one inspiring confidence IN the strong right
arm Of Uncle Sam.
The stopping of the warships here is
a break in the programme Of the admiral
whose plan under orders was not to stop.
The fleet however. will leave tomorrow
for TOrtugaS.
