SPANIARDS TERRORIZED.
The whole population is in a state Of
Inrest-the Spanish residents fearful,
the CubanS eager to do something to
show they have gained their freedom.
Bands of Cubans freely enter the resi-
dences Of SPaniards call upon them to
hoist American and Cuban flags and to
shout "vive Cuba libra" and terrify
them with their machetes. A dozen such
cases We're reported to the American
authorities today. In all instances
American guards were sent to the
houses invaded, but the Cubans were
invariably gone when the patrol ar
rived, nor was there any such thing as
catching the offenders.
No attention whatever is paid to the
order against the discharging Of fire
crackers, and pistols are fired in the
streets continuously. Three persons
have been killed and twenty-nine
wounded, among the latter three wo-
men and twp children. The shooting
has been for the most part indiscrim-

from Fort Principe was deliberately
fired upon from a private residence.
Lieutenant Blount, an American Off

broke into the house, but the occupants
fed to adjoining roofs.
While Brigadier General Clous and
Captain Hart were returning from the
palace today, after an interview with
Captain General Castellanos, they met
mob Of Cubans, carrying flags and
shouting. A minute or two later the
crowd would have encountered a de-
tachment Of Spanish troops. The sit
uation called for prompt action, and
