DISORDER In HAVANA.

Havana, Sept. 19.-via Key West Sept.
21.-9:25 p. m.-Disturbances in public
places between Cubans and Spanards are
becoming frequent. The Cubans are as
suming an insolent and abusive manner
in their treatment of the Spaniards,
whom they lose no opportunity of openly
referring to as vanqushed. Many OF
them wear miniature Cuban flags. the
lone star of which acts upon the Spanish
officers as does red rag upon Il bull.
In consequence of the serious disorders
which have occurred, Military Governor
Arooag has issued ar order making 1t
obligatory upon every officer to wear his
uniform and carry arms in public, wheth-
or on duty or not. in order to avoid mis-
takes AZ to identity.
Yesterday afternoon two boats rowed
across the bay toward the transport Res
oute. One was occupied by Cubans from
Regla, among whom was the we'll known
insurgent Chief Rodriguez The other was
filled with Spanish pleasure seekers. The
boat in which the Cubans were drew
along side the other and it's occupants
began tauntng and jeering at the Span
iards. who answered back. When the
boats we're close to the Resolute Rodri-
guez took up an oar and struck one of
| the Spaniards over the head with 1t, in
! tlicting painful wounds one of the lat
/ ter'g companions jumped into the Cuban
| boat, sprang upon Rodriguez and bit his
whole nose off The dght became general
and several of the participants We're
slightly wounded No arrests were made.
