THE HAVANA BLOCKADE.
Some of the Naval People Think 1t
Is Not EffectiYe.

Is Not Effective.
There is much comment at the Navy
Department on both sides of the ques-
ton if the blockade of Havana is effect
i've. The account of the English CORE
Times on Friday afternoon, was read and
discussed with much interest at the De-
partment by officers and newspaper men.
Other accounts of a similar nature, gen.
orally from Spanish sources, have been
published frequently within the past three
weeks.
Robinson said in brief that Havana
is plentifully supplied with food, and
that prices have not gone up, and there
is an abundant supply of coal on hand
for two months to come. and that the Ha-
vana inhabitants are happy and content
ed and full of contempt for the ''alleged
blockade"
He said that the meat might give out,
possibly, but that fish and vegetables
would keep the people in food indefinitely.
There are many officers who from the
beginning have believed the blockade a
mistake, that now are inclined to credit
this story. They say that the blockade
might go on for years and the Havana
people grow ldl iiiiOiSul uAucT 1t,
while the Notifications of the city are
being strengthened every day.
They STATE that while no supplies may
reach Havana direct through the block
ade there is no question that ships have
landed on the southern coast of Cuba
directly opposite the city.
There are excellent roads, unobstructed
by the insurgents, and even it is believ-
ed railroad still running from this point
1t is said that unquestionably Havana has
received food and perhaps coal in this
way, and is still receiving it.
