fl CELEBAATION KN HAVANA.
Held In Honor of Jose MaVti, First
 President of Rebel Govcrnnlent.

President of Rebel Government. Havana, Jan. 29.-Four thousand per
 sons, dressed in their best clothing and women gaily dressed stood amid pour ing rain in Pauli Square to-day listen | ing to six intensely patriotic eulogies upon Jose Marti, the Cuban patriot and , first president of the Cuban revolutions ary government A tablet to his mem- ory was unveiled at the house where he was born in 8 street nearby and
 eighty-two societies, consisting of 2,500
 persons, with banners, flags and five
 bands, marched through the principal
 thoroughfares to the square. The pro-
 cession, whose distinguishing feature
 was 500 girls wearing white dresses and
 red liberty caps, started at 1 o'clock,
 reaching the square two hours later.
 The streets were gaily decorated with Cuban and American colors, and though the interest ran high there was no dis order of any kind. Marti's widow, mother and son led the parade with the first Cuban flag used by the patriot, which was loudly cheered.
 The eulogies contained few references to the United States and only two vitu- perative references to the Spaniards were quietly received. The tendency of all the speeches was toward the ultimate independence of Cuba, which the ora tors recognized as fact not yet accom- plished. Senor Gonzales Suma suggest ed that the Cubans take steps to pre- serve the house itself in which Marti was born. He called upon the Cubans to go to work
 Juan Gomez, q mulatto, with a con- siderable reputation as an orator, made the best speech of the day. He coun- selled firmness, as the proper means to gain the coveted goal. The Cubans must realize this and keep it in mind. They must calmly indicate mistake when it is made and have faith that the error will be corrected. All the refer ences to Cuba Libre were applauded, and Marti was held up as an example for all Cubans. A telegram of saluta- ton was sent to General Gomez. Only two Spanish flags were on view throughout the day, one over building GS6Q Dy tue ppdIllSH slSdlASilp ilile anu the other over the Banco Espana.
 The plan of General Gomez to unite the Spanards in Cuba with the Cugans proper in party whose platform should be the independence of the island does not altogether thrive in the Span ish mind. Some Spaniards say Yes, give us the Gomez programme of ami ty' others are silent. As for the an- nexationists, they are very out-spoken in Havana, but more reserved in the interior of the island where they are out-numbered and far from the protec- tion of the American troops.
 The Marquis of Pinar del Rio has caused some apprehension among the Spaniards by the assertion that, during his recent visit to the United States he became convinced that the Ameri- can government did not intend to hold Cuba permanently. Spanish bankers and merchants decline to lend money or to give liberal credits because they fear that the American occupation will be brief and that the reconstruction Of the insular system of government Will be retarded in consequence.

DREYFUS CASE EXCITEMENT
SITUATION MORE CONFUSING AND
 MENACING THAN EYER.
Decision to Submit to Chamber of Deputies To-dny Bill Affecting Cases of Trial Revision he- opens Floodgates of fhgitRtion- Action Denounced as Revolutionary.
nounced as Revolutionary.

Paris, Jan 29.-The governments de- cision to submit to the chamber of depu-
 ties tomorrow a bill providing that cases of trial revision shall be brought before the united sections of the court of cessation, Has re-opened the flood gates of the Dreyfus agitation. The
 situation appears more confusing and menacing than ever. For days the an-
 ti-Dreyfustes have been clamoring to have the case referred to the united sec- tions because they have considered it 1 certain that among more than thirty judges they could rely upon anti-Drey- fusite majority.
 In to-day's Echo De Paris, M. Ques- ena De Baure Paire, who on January g resigned the presidency of the civil sec tion as a protest against the way in which the criminal section, under the presidency of M. Loew was conducting the Dreyfus proceedings, again justifies his action in a screaming screed and as- serts that the ministers hold a decisive document; while Nm. Coppee and Jules Lomaitre have signed a manifesto on behalf of the organization known as LaPatrie Francaise, claiming credit for urging the government to take it's pres ent course and declaring that if the Dreyfus case be once submitted to this supreme tribunal, 1t will receive such solution as will ensure the countrys repose.
 M. Loew, president of the criminal chamber, who was asked his opinion re- garding the governments proposal, said: T am glad to be relieved of the responsibility, but the governments ac- tion is revolutionary. The anti-re- visionist parties are jubiant. Tn all po- litical centers to-day there has been unusual activity and excitement. The disturbance at the Nouveau theater last Friday evening when at the conclusion of the performance of the play, "The King of Rome," the Bonapartists in the house hoisted tri-color flag surmount- ed by an imperial eagle, and shouted "Vive l-Empereur" was very significant of the attitude which the imperialists take in the circumstances. From stalls to the gallery 1,500 Bonapartists crowd ed the theater Prince Murat and all the titled and prominent representatives Of the party were present. Violent all lusions in the drama which is a glorif- cation of the Napoleonic legend were greeted with thunders of applause.
 London, Jan. 30-M DeBloutz the Paris correspondent of the Times, com menting upon the state of anarchy and revolution which the government is yielding to, predicts that the bill will fail to stand discussion.

EXPLOSION NEAR BRIDGEPORT
Dynamite and Powder in Storage Maga'
 zinc-Henrd for Many Miles.

l Bridgeport, Jan. 29-A fire which is
 on Stratford meadows, opposite Hollis i ter's creek, shortly after 10 o'clock this morning, communicated to ona of the
 magazines of Billings & Clampett, druggists of this city, which they used for storing explosives, and caused an explosion of almost earthquake violence.
 There was a ton of dynamite and fifty kegs of powder stored in the house. It is thought that the fire reached the gunpowder first and then the dynamite was exploded. There was no loss of life and the money loss will not exceed $50O
 The shock was felt throughout this city, Stratford and Derby, and the noise was heard as far away as New Haven. Many windows were wrecked An Italian family lived nearby in a one- story dwelling, of which all the win dows were blown out, the bed and stove overturned and a trap door leading to the cellar was blown through the roof. Two members of the family were se- verely cut by flying glass.
 John Tierney, passeby, saw the boys setting fire to grass and chased them. As he passed the building containing the explosives the explosion occurred and be was struck by flying timber, injuring his shoulder and right arm. The dyna mite burrowed hole 75x15 feet and GO feet deep. The building was lined with tin. A little girl, Kittie Andrews by name, who lived nearby, was cut by shattered glass from windows in her home. She was taken to the hospital in Bridgeport. There were three buildings containing explosives, dne owned by the Hercules Powder company and two by Billings & Clampett.
 In Stratford the shock was felt the greatest At the residence of William Hirtz, Mrs. Hirtz fainted from the con- cussion. Dr. Cogswell was called. She soon recovered. William A. Greely's drug store on Main street had front plate glass doors and windows shat tered About a year ago the same building was broken into and thirteen cases of dynamite were stolen and evil dence of attempts to fire the building were discovered.
