HAVANA. Nov. 1.-THE battalion OF the orden
Publico which. by revolving because OF the nom
payment OF the wages OF its members. caused
last weeks military disorder in Havana. was
shipped for Spain this morning on the steamer
Alicante. Precautions were taken to prevent
an outbreak during the embarkation OF the
men. but no disorder was attempted. The men
wero disarmed and marched to the wharf.
where they embarked quietly.
The men OF The battalion OF the 0rden Pub
leo. which Ia returning TO Spain. received part
OF their wages this morning on board the
steamer which will take them home. Col.
PaRlieri. the chief OF the battalion. acted as
paymaster. and after the men had received
their money he returned to the city. where he
is still Chief OF Police. The Orden Publicos
cheered him enthusiastically. and also shouted
viva Espaha' and viva Blanco."
The measures taken by the military authors
ties have thus far resulted In preventing
breaches OF the peace. Tho Civil Guards are
anxious to receive their past due salaries. and
It Is reported that one division Of them desires
to come from Calvario. Managua, Arroyo and
Apollo. suburbs Of Havana. TO peacefully make
a demonstration before the palace. The troops.
however. will not permit them to enter the
city. as under the circumstances their presence
might lead to further trouble.
The men In the barracks Of the Civil Guards,
In Belascoaln street, clamor for their pay. but
thus far they have committed no overt act.
They are being carefully watched to prevent
them from uniting with the other member Of
the guard. Some soldiers belonging to other
battalions wish to make a peaceful demand for
their money. but are convinced that the pres
ent time Is not opportune.
Thousands Of Cubans visited Marianao to-day
to greet Gen. Calixto Garcia. the insurgent
leader. who is going to Washington as a MEM
Der OF the committee appointed by the assem-
bly, which recently met at Santa Cruz del
Sur. Admiral Sampson sent q message to him
by an aide. Gen. Garcia is well satisfied with
the result among the Cuban people OF his
friendly policy toward the United States. and
he is. hopeful Of obtaining from President Nc
Kinley assistance that will lead to the complete
disarmament OF the Cuban Army.
According to n despatch from Washington.
signed by Senior Quesada. the President is will
ing to receive Gen. Garcia and the other mem
bers of the commission. They will leave here
on Wednesday. by. way Of Tampa.
The Spanish and American evacuation COM
missions will probably meet on Wednesday to
consider what property the Spanish Army is
entitled to carry back to Spain.
Gen. Butler had a conference with Captain
General Blanco this morning and demanded

HAVANA. Nov. IL. via KEY West. Nov. IA
Gen. Blancn last night received a cable de-
spatch from Premier Sagasta. who said that it
was impossible to send 100000 pesetas in
silver. needed to pay the revolted troops. and
that instead OF asking for more money he ought
to repress military uprisings with an iron hand.
Sagasta added that the sacrifice already made
by sending s450.000 was too great for the
Spanish treasury.
Gen. Blanco Immediately summoned q coun-
ell Of the Spanish Generals in Havana. They
met at the palace at IL O'Clock in civilian
dress. so as not to call the attention OF the
troops and the public. The situation is very
grave. because the report that money was COM
ing from Spain had appeased the revolted SOL
diers. but they maintain their attitude Of pro-
test. announcing that they are ready to revolt
again II not paid within two days.
The troops are occupying the main streets
and squares OF Havana aAd openly declare that
they will join the Orden Publico and civil
guards instead OF fighting them. Such was
the situation rs the Generals reported 1t to
Blanco. The Captain General. ii is reported.
said he would send his resignation to Madrid.
