Havana, January 25.-The United States
battleship Maine. commanded by Charles
D. Sigbee, which left Key West, Fla, on
January "a, arrived here at IL o'cloc k
this morning and was saluted by the forts
and war vessels
report is current that United States
consul general, Gen. Fitz Hugh Lee, and
DR.. Congosto, secretary general Of the
government, have had slight misunder-
standing.
This evening all the wharves were
crowded with people anxious to get
glimpse of the American warship by
night. The Maine played her search light
on the arsenal and the Notifications.
Washington, January a5.-The battle
ship Maine is in Havana harbor.
The torpedo boat Dupont which left
Key West at six o'clock last evening with
the Maines sailing orders, hailed the
Maine at Dry Tortugas and delivered tha
orders for the battlehsip tos proceed to
Havana at once. The Dupont then re-
turned to Key West.
She reports that the Maine was about
to sail when she left.
Washington, January 25.-Two de-
spatches were received at the State De-
partment this afternoon. One from Con-
sui General Lee said that the Maine had
arrived at II O'Clock and that all was
quiet In Havana. The other was from
Captain Sigsbee, and merely said
Maine arrived.
The second telegram from Consul Gen
eral Lee received at the State Department.
today came at two o clock and was carried
by Assistant Secretary Day to the White
House for the information Of the Presi-
dent. In this telegram Gen. Lee said that
the Maine had been received With every
courtesy. The commanders of the German
and Spanish ships of war In the harbor
had called upon the commander or the
Maine, who had returned their calls, the
Spanish forts had fred salutss and all the
ceremonies called for by naval etiquette
had been observed. In addition, the con-
sui general stated that everything was
tranquil in Havana.
The department officials have heard
nothing officially of asy trouble, and at
tach little Importance TO the ruInors. 1t
is suggested that the basis may DO the re-
port current several days ago, that DR..
Congosto had expressed diHpleasure be-
cause Gen. Lee had declined to state
officially that he had not predicted failure
for ia antOn0mv DlRn.
as matters stand there is no call for
further instructions at present to Captain
Sigsbee. who is permitted to use his own
discretion in the dealing with the events
of the day, although he has been enjoined
to consult freely with Consul General Lee
and was also ininutely instructed before
he arrived at Havana. as to the wishes of
the Secretary of the Navy.

SOME STRANGE ANTICS EX-
planned.

New London, Conn, January 25.-
The venerable freight steamer Tillie,
was we'll known in this port. Up to three
wears ago she was used as Central Ver-
mont railroad company freighter, plying
between New London and New York.
Among shipping men here she was con-
sidered as extremely unseaworthy. The
steamer was recently sold by the Vermont
company and at s@the time it was said the
MoAllistor Bros. ofHBrooklyn were the
purchasers. The news of the loss of the
Tillie off the Barnegat is considered as
substantial proof that the mysterious
two-masted steamer whose antics OFF
Montauk Point on Saturday caused so
much excitement, was none other than
the Tillie. On Saturday two tugs or the
Staples coal company arrived in New
London One reported while making this
harbor Oh Saturday she sightedsa two
masted schooner and her position and
movements excited curiosity. At the same
time he saw the steam lighter Columbia
steaming toward New London. Earlier
in the daysthe Columbia arrived here and
her captain said his vessel had carried
cases of machinery to Providence. On
Sunday the Columbia took aboard $1,000
gallons of water and at noon steamed
away, her destination being unknown.
II is now considered certain that the
Columbia communicated with the Tillie.
The theory that the Iillie may nave Deen
scuttled is not credited here. 1t is be-
lieved that the vessel was SO frail that
she was unable to weather the gale and
went down.
JACK o'BRIEN ON BOARD TILLIE.
New York, January 25.-The steamer
Tillie sailed from this city early last
Thursday NOR ming. She was cleared by
James McAllister as owner, but until
a couple of weeks previous was owned by
the Vermont Central railroad company.
Rumors that the Tillie was a filibuster
er were freely circulated in this city af-
ter she had sailed last week and revenue
officials were said to have chased her.
This report however, was denied. Mr..
MoAllister also denied that the boat was
connected with any flibustering eXpedit-
ion. According to the clearance papers
the TiIlie was bound to Key West in bal
lest. She was a very old boat, having
been built in 1862 was l42 feet long with
a Beam of 26 feet. When sold by the YER
mont Central, it was said that she would
be dismantled and turned into a coal
barge for the Erie basin here.
Capt. John O'Brien, reported to be
among those saved, is supposed to be the
!" jack" O'Brien, who is alleged to have
taken part in several filibnstering eApe-
ditions. His home III Kearney, N. j.,
was watched by detectives during the
past two weeks. The vigilance of the de-
tectives was somewhat relaxed when
it was stated that Capt O'Brien was
sick in bed with dangerous fever, and
they only realized that he had given them
the slip today.

INSURGENT CAMPS DESTROYED.
Havana, January 25.-The Spanish
forces, it is announced, have destroyed
the camp of the insurRent leader Juan
Delgado near Managua, province OF
Havana. 1t is said to have consisted or
over two hundred huts. The camp of the
insurgent leader Romero ID also reported
to have been destroyed. In Spanish circles
1t Is said that government force In re-
connoitering near Aguacate and Tapaste,
this province, has been engaged with the
insurgent Aranguren, who is IN com
mand OF one hundred and nifty cavalry
men. The Spaniards are said to have
killed many OF the insurgents and to

The Spanish forces under the command
of Col. Rubin, 1t Is announced at Spanish
headquarters, recently landed on the coast
near Trinidad, province Of Santa Clara,
to reconnoiter the river Munoz, and dis
lodged an insurgent force from an in
trenched position which the latter occu-
pied. The Spaniards are announced to
have had major, a captain, doctor and
two soldiers wounded.
The chamber of commerce again met

mercia1 treaty with the United States.
INSURGENTS CONTENTED.
Washington, January 25. = Senor
Quesada, representative of the Cuban
junta in Washington, today received let
ters from Cuba detailing events in the
interior up to the goth of December.
Among others was letter from Gen.
Galixto Garcia, reporting the safe land
ing and reception by the insurgents of
the latest expedition from the United
States. These supplies, particularly the
ammunition for the dynamite guns, Gen.
Garcia said, were sufficient to enable
them to carry on the campaign in the
eastern division for many months even
should no other supplies be landed.
FEARS A CONFLICT.
Madrid. January 25..-The Imparclal
ex presses fear that the despatch of the
United States battleship Maine to
Havana will provoke conflict and adds:
Europe cannot doubt Americas S atti-
tude towards Spain, but the Spanish
people, ii necessary will do their duty
with honor"
NO INDICATION OF FRIENDSHIP.
Madrid, January 25.-The Epoca asks
if the dispatch of the Maine to Havana is
'sintended as sop ito the jingoes," and
add:
1--WE cannot suppose the American
government so naive or badly informed
as to imagine that the presence of Amer,
ican war vessels in Havana will be
cause of satisfaction to Spain or an indi-
cation of friendship
