Captain Milburn, of the British Steam
er Myrtledene, Has a Close Call in
Havana.

Key West. Fla, April 25.-The Brit
ish steamer Myrtledene, Captain Mil
burn. from Philadelphia, on April Sth.
for Havana and C~ardenas. arrived
here this morning from Havana. Her
commander reports that the news of
the sailing of the United States fleet
was received at Havana just previous
to the departure Of the Myrtledene. He
adds that it created no excitement in
the city, but the price of meat immedi-
ately jumped from a to so cents.
According to Captain Milburn, Ha-
vana does not fear bombardment.. be-
cause, the Spaniards say: the United
States began the war in the interests
of humanity, and bOmbardment would
be contrary to that
AT Havana, it appears. the conditions
prevailing are not unusual, except that
the city is OVID with troops, and
that the Spanish officers are drilling
every man they can press into the SER
vice.
The Myrtledene reached Havana a
week ago Sunday and Captain Mil
burne went ashore. He says he walk-
ed over to the new Notifications at
CasablancO to make observations, when
three or -four soldiers, with fixed bayo-
nets, arrested him as an American spy.
The captain was taken to MORO Cas-
tie, and after three or Jour hours had
elapsed he was informed that sentence
had been passed upon him and that he
was to be shot in an hour.
The captain, who is al intense Brit
Usher. replied: Why wait an hour?
Shoot me now and in a day Havan
and all Cuba will be blown up"
The British vice ceusul, Arthur
Arosteguy. was interested in the case
and Captain Milburn released.
Captain Milbur adds: Havana will
give you all the fighting YOU want
when you and"

Authorities Are Perplexed Regarding
What Steps Shall Be Taken In the
Matter - Parents Must Keep

There are now Is real bad boys in the

they give every evidence that they
ought to be in the reform school. The
boys nearly killed a Chinaman a few
days ago in the eastern part Of the city.
The Chinaman was walking ~peaceably
along the street, when the boys began
to pelt him with snow balls. The Chi
naman didn't seem TO mind the snow
balls very much and the boys put
rocks into them. The poor Chinaman
received an ugly cut on the top OF his
head and was otherwise badly used
up. Had he not sought refuge In a
dwelling house. serious results would
have no doubt been the case.
The boys then e TO the cabin of
another Chinaman and broke in all the
windows. after which they fired their
