vices from Havana received Dy the
Spanish minister, Mr.. de LONE, con-
tinue to be reassuring. A dispatch sent
at o'clock last evening, said that the
city was perfectly quiet Another dis
patch sent shortly after midnight and
received early this morning, stated
that few people gathered in the pub
lie park about 10 o'clock last night
There were no demonstrations, and
under ordinary circumstances, no at
tentiOn would have been given to 1t, as
the park is the central public point of
Havana AS a matter of precautton,
however, the patrol of soldiers on
guard asked the people to move away,
and this they did without demOnstra-
ton or the exercise of any force. By
u o'clock the troops were back in their
quarters.
AS no further advices were received
up to noon today, it is taken for grant
ed by Senior de LONE that the Havana
authorities have no apprehension, and
that the situation is quiet. No surprise
would be felt, however, if there were
sporadic gatherings of groups in a city
Of Havana'S size, especially on Sunday.
1t IS q custom of Latin countries for
the people to make a holiday of Sun

SENIOR GOWN
Today Senior Gown, a member of the
autonomous cabinet, arrives at Ha-
Yana, and this, also, it is said, may
serve as a text for some vivaS by the
ultras. Gown has been at Atlanta,
Ca, since the autonomous cabinet was
formed. He is regarded as the strong
est man of that body, and for that rea-
son his appointment has excited in
tense hostility among the insurgents
and their friends. 1t led to a movement
TO insult him personally as he passed
through Tampa, according to informa-
ton submitted TO the Spanish minister.
This led Senior Gown to change his
route, making a sea trip by way of
New York He sailed from there last
Sunday. In view of the movement
against him at Tampa, IS would be no
surprise to the legation here if the
same ultra element at Havana took his
arrival has an Oportunity for similar
expression against him
NO AGITATION
There was no sign of agitation over
the situation in Cuba at the state or
navy departments today. The only
news thatlhad been received from Con-
sui General Lee came in a cablegram
dated last night, and went to confirm
the reports from old sources, namely,
that all was quiet there, and that the
places of amusement were open and
being patronizet'.
The navy department had news of the
sailing from Key West for Navassa Of
the Marblehead. Srhis was IN pursu-
snce of orders givet more than a week
ago and corroborateds the statement
given out at the NAVY department, to
the effect that there Mad been no
changes in the orders to Cur -TarshipS
on account Of the Havana riot Other.
wise, it would scarcely be expected that
the Marblehead should be allowed to
depart for q. port more remote from
Havana than is Key West The Marble

week, making the investigation which
has been ordered into the allegation
that the labOrers on Navassa Island
