Havana, March 9-The battleship Mont. gomery is in Havana harbor. Her ara | rival was without incident except to re, | new the feeling against Americans, as we'll as to cause Spaniards to exult over the fact that the American ship is much smalI- | CT than two of their own anchored not far. 1 distant Precautionary methods arc ohri served and nobody is allowed on boardl l without permission.
 Blancos cabinet disruption caused a fall | of four points in stocks sold at the locai bouse. The trouble is regarded as an l evidence of the utter failure of his policies;I and indicative of the necessity of invent-i l ing new plans and a consequent uncertain- ty and unrest. What your stock jobber wants is calm and quiet, and that Is a feat- ure which will be unknown to Havana trading for long months. Gen. Banco has refused to accept GaI- vez's resignation and Galvez refuses to withdraw 1t, just yet. Govin, minister of justice, will also ask for his release from cabinet duties Such is the report going about tonight. Senor Govins desire t1 quit is attributed to strong talk which took place between him and Cognosto at Mondays six hours cabinet meeting, at which the advisability of deporting corre- spondents was discussed Govin stood for the newspaper writers and protested tHelr eApuiSious
 Debate Was Heated
 Cognosto replied with some bitterness and the debate became heated, not to say acrimonious. Govin threatened t6 turn in his desk key at once and Is still of the same inclination. Under pressure from Madrid and in view of Washington ! advices indicating McKinleys determnal tion to keep Consul General Lee fere. Ban- co and the autonomist government of the colony are hedging, and semi-official afterA noon papers stoutly deny that tine least friction between palace and consulate has occurred.
 Fl Correo the Weylerte- Carlist organ, however, continues it's attack upon Lee, and insists that Clara Barton's relief coms mittees are openly selling their private ac- count supplies sent here for the starving Cuban victims of Weyler's notorious and inhuman reconcentrado decrees. Of course, these charges are false and their publica!- tion simple attempt to extort hush-money from the Red Cross.
 The hat is being passed around among Spaniards of Havana to raise funds to buy a new warship for the Spanish navy.
 An Insurgent Victory
 The insurgent leader, Roque, yesterday attacked the Spanish garrison at Ciega De Avila and whipped them after a fight of five hours The Spaniards brought sixtya three wounded to Havana, and it is said they lost 150 killed and left sixty more wounded at Mora. The several filibustering expeditions landed recently have given the insurgents fresh supply of ammunition. and they are using 1t.
 One hundred men of heliograph party, who left Santa Cruz six days ago, have not been heard from since
 Besides Barker at Sagua, the American consuls at Mantanzas, Cardenas, Baracoa and Santiago De Cuba, are this afternoon reported to have also rendered their resg- nations. Fitzhugh Lee, Jr, son of Consult General Lee, sails on Saturday on his re- turn to Virginia.
 Senator Proctor Is much stirred up over the situation existing here, and the report he is expected to make to the president upon returning to Washington, as we'll as his future speeches, may be expected to make big stir throughout the states.
 Doctor Says It's Serious
 In conversation tonight he gave it as his opinion that the situation here Is vastly more serious than even American residents of Havana are wont to admit.
 The local crisis between the Spanish vof- unteer element and Cuban autonomists is most acute, and one can predict the ulti- mate result of friction which has already begun. Only match Is necessary to set off the magazine of popular Spanish indig- nation against the Americans.
 Consul Barker's stamina and grit are needed here now while the crisis is on and it is but right that President Mckinley and so authoritative a source as Proctor.
 The court of inquiry jogs along and the belief prevails that it is killing time more than anything else. It will likely go north next week.
