HAVANA, Jan. 21.-Judging from outward appearances quiet has been completely restored in Havana, the eX- tra guards have all been withdrawn and the greater part of the troops have been sent back to the country. The palace authorities confidently assert that all danger is past, but for some reason the anxiety here has not yet been allayed.
 Everybody expects that something serious is going to happen and regrets that the troops have been sent back to the country. In the streets to-day l saw an unusual number of volunteers alone or in groups of two and three. They were in full uniform, which is not customary after the morning parade of the palace guards, and they osten- tatiously displayed cartridge belts well filled and with flaps raised.
 But as yet there is not the slightest sign of i'll feeling against Americans. NeWSpap apers arriving through the malls of Wednesday had not been delivered Probably they will be suppressed alto gether. To-day'S papers were not al- lowed to publish anything that is from the United States-only to publish three short telegrams from Madrid.
 The German man-Gf-War Charlotte is
  day. The German Consul announced that the Gneisenau will also arrive two days later.
 Reports from the East state that General Pando is fortifying Canto River to enable regular supplies to be sent inland to garris0ned towns. Thus far every convoy sent up the river has been captured by the rebels and the garrison forces are in deplorable con- dition The cane fields are still burn ing in every province. The rebels are also burning grass so that the Span iards may not get fodder for their horses
 Advices just received from Ymonas. a railroad town in Natanzas province. state that the rebels have ambushed a whole guerrilla force, killing all but three. Several small towns have been attacked and plundered.
 The Herald correspondent in Santi- ago de Cuba writes that the filibuster- ing boat recently captured near Por- tllo by the Spanish gunboat Galicia has been taken to Santiago de Cuba, and two men found aboard were put in jail. The account states that the boat which is about five tons and owned at ManZanillO, when captured was loaded with provisions for the insurgents. No arms and ammunition were found on board The members of the crew say the supplies were taken aboard at
 
 boat sailed on January g. When near ing the Cuban coast the boat became becalmed and was overtaken by the Galicia at daylight the following morn ing. They were transferred to the gun boat and placed in irons, and tortured in order to force them to divulge their mission or complicity with the insur- gents. The officials believe that the boats cargo has been transferred to a steamer seen lowering in the vicinity where the capture was made and with which the filibuster was thought to have communication.
 Although nothing appears to be known on the subject at Spanish head quarters, persistent rumors were in cir culatiOn to-day to the effect that Gen. eral CaliXto Garcia, the famous insur- gent leader, had been killed in a re- cent engagement with the Spanish troops.
 NEW YORK, Jan 21.-The Suns Ha- vana cable says: The Spanish have failed in an attempt to take the seat of the Cuban Government in a battle of the La EsperanZa forces of General Castellanos, numbering, according to the Spanish official report, 2200 infan- trymen, 400 cavalrymen and a com pany of artillery with two field pieces. The insurgents were about 5000 almost all cavalry, but with artillery also President Masso personally led one of the Cuban wings, though the military commander of the whole Cuban army was General Lope Recio. The fighting continued without cessation from Jan uary 12 in the afternoon to January 14 in the evening, when General Jiminez Castellanos gave up and retired to Puerto Principe The Cuban losses did not amount to 100
