Last sunday Night.
Havana. Dec. 15-American observers
of the violent scenes enacted here on
Sunday night sympathize with the Gu
ban population over the killing Of three
persons and the wounding of II others
by Spanish soldiers. Nevertheless, the
American military men are unable to
do more than they have done in secur-
ing safe transportation for prominent
Cubans to Marianao and i'm preventing
all arrests excepting those of three
youngsters. who, however, were after
wards released. The shooting was
nearly all done by Spanish officers
armed with pistols Some shots were
fired during the conflict at aggressive
Cubans, but most of them were fred
at retreatlng Cubans. Not one Of the
officers implicated has been brought to
account. 1t is asserted that the feel
ing in the Spanish army Is one Of pleas
ure that the Cubans gave the Spaniards
the opportunity to Kill a few of them.
The first arrivals of American troops
and the approaching dissolution Of
Spanish sovereignty on all sides in Ha-
vana Increase the Spanish bitterness
here. The only safety of the Cubans
is in their remaining patient for a
week or two longer, until the Seventh
army corps shall have arrived. The
American officers constantly urge the
Cuban leaders to counsel silence and
self suppression for a while, as fire.
brand Cubans cannot be protected,
even by the moral influence of the
American representatives. Spanish
sovereignty, it Is pointed out is the
! only sovereignty here, and unless there
shall be an interregnum of anarchy
Spanish authority must remain SUI
preme until the American troops shall
be here in force and the flag shall have
been changed.

For Freebootine PURPOSES,

Governor Culberson is in receipt of
8 telegram from Preside county re-
citing that bands of Mexicans are be-
ing formed on the border for feeboot-
ing purposes and that the citizens out
there will form themselves into volun-
tary battaliOns in order to protect
their lives and property.
For some time the executive has
been receiving advices indicating that
10 case of war with Spain there will be
danger of invasion of the Rio Grande
valley by the lawless element which
ipfects that section.
1t is claimed that agents Of the
Spanish government have been at
work there for some time. 1t is said
demonstrations on the Mexican side
have recently become more pronounced,
federal troops along the border having
been ordered to leave.
It is stated that Governor CulbersOn
has kept officials at Washington post
ed in regard to matters out there and
ad vocate ed the maintenance of the ar
my of the department of Texas, pre-.
testing vigorously against the removal
of forces stationed in the threatened
territory. The executive, it is said
will order a concentration of state
ranger forces in the Rio Grande valley
aud proceed to increase their numbers.
1t is said also that he intends to use
his authority 10 the end that any
gang attempting invasion may meet
with hot reception.

The Southern Pacific company is
taking steps to lessen the friction be-
tween the claim agent and the stock
men by fencing the track. The road
west of Wilcox is now fenced to within
q short distance of town and tho fence
crew is to continue work east of Will
COX.
The Mexican Herald says: 1t is cur
rently believed here in railroad circles
that George Gould has his eyes fixed
on the Mexican National railroad with
the intention of buying it and chang
ing it from q morrow to a standard
gauge. He owns the cor trolling inter
est in the Wabash, the Missouri Paci-
fic, the Texas & Pacific and the Inter-
national aud Great Northern and with
the addition of the Mexican National,
would own a straight and direct line
from Mex co city to Buffalo. With the
National changed to standard gauge
and other needed improvements made,
and having the short and direct con nee
tion with the other roads in the Gould
system, he would, practically, con- 70:
Mexican traffic to eastern points.
