house and seriously wounded. During "a
hours one man was killed and ~ wounded
in ARRAYS in different parts of the city, and
IL burg laries committed. The city is in a
state of unrest. Three more wards of
Havana were evacuated Monday. La
Lucia says it can see no disloyalty to
Spain in the part of Spanish residents in
Cuba if they choose to hoists American or
Cuban flags, because Spain renowned the
island without consulting the Spaniards.
Capt. Gen. Jimenez Castellanos after for
mally delivering over the island to the
American authorities on Jan. will leave
for Matanzas, where he will remain a
fortnight, going thence TO Cenfuegos. A
party of colored Cubans entered a whole
sale grocery establishment owned by the
Spanish firm of Mestro d Mata. on Mon
day, and ordered Senior Mestro to kiss the
Cuban flag and cry "Viva Cuba libre." He
refused 10 obey, whereupon one of the
Cubans cut his head badly with a machete
