An incident happened that has unfavor-
ably troubled these people, superstitious
as are all races with Latin blood in their
veins. The handsome building of the
New York Equitable Life Assurance
Company stands at the corner of the
Callao de Alcala and Gale de Sevilla.
High on the facade and just below the
dome stood last night an American eagle,
keeping guard with outstretched wings,
over the starred and striped shield Of the
United States. Underneath 1t, fastened
to the balcony, was a Flagstaff where on
festivals and holidays the American flag
usually hoated. Yesterday a crowd as
sembled before the building, bowling for
the American escutcheon TO be torn
down. As the hours went on the crowd
became denser. The Spanish flag was
run out on the pole and greeted with
wild cheers. Finally two men climbed
IN the obnoxious eagle and shield and
succeeded in tearing down the emblem.
This they flung to the crowd below which
WAS waiting with frantic impatience to
tear It TO pieces, but in its fan the eagle
with starry shield, tore away the Span
ish nag and both came to the ground
together There was a hush of dlsmay
for a moment Then someone caught up
the rag and waved 1t aloft, while the
crowds swept around It with shouts and
even subs of enthusiasm.

New York. April IA dispatch to the
Herald from Havana. timed Friday. )
p. m, says:
From the hills OF Guanajay | saw Uni
ted States warships this afternoon. They
are advancing on Havana from the west
ward. The news has reached Moro Cas-
tie There all is alert, but fear is in the
hearts OF the citys defenders. Havana's
weak point lies dead ahead OF the Amer
lean fleet. The course Of the ships is in
direct accordance with the plan OF war
which the Herald first published. It
means-and everybody here admits It
the bombardmeni OF Havana unless the
city surrenders In sight OF a superior
force. General Blanco. in full uniform,
which he has worn about two days in the
last two months. is at the Santa Clara
battery, the strongest OF the city's de-
fenses. With him are all the officers
OF his stan and the chief officers OF all
the regular and volunteer regiments.
orderlies are rushing through the city
shouting their call TO arms and carrying
orders to the batteries and reports to the
captain-genSral Ominous is the situa-
ton. Everybody grants that fact but
everybody is rushing out OF the city or
to its fortlhcations The number who
have sought the latter places for flight is
enormous. The United States ships could
not possibly select better place for
landing men than they can fnd in the
neighbOrhood to which they are pointing.
Blanco realizes the danger and has
rushed large bodies of troops to the San
Ia Clara battery. He has sent others in
a hurry by railroad to vedado and Car
melo. The garrisons are weak there and
even with the reinforcements could not
last long, because the defenses are not
strong. Troops could be landed there
with little more than skirmish and 1t
is thought this will be the first place at
which the Americans will strike. Then,
too, Blanco is fearful lest the first OF
the invaders come up the little river Al
mendarez, where they could make an un-
disputed landing a few miles to the west
ward OF the city The armament there
is Insignificant The chief defense is the
old Castle de Alares. Several regiments
have been sent to the Playa de Mariana,
where there is an important but unde-
Tended landing place. From that point
a railroad runs to Havana. Arolas, the
military governor. is acting with Blanco
and both went out and made recon-
noisance IN the direction of Mariana. The
two after leaving Santa Clara went TO
the Relana battery.
All the guns at all the fortidcatons
are manned. The men have orders to
stand by them all night The attack is
expected at daybreak
