decided to proceed with the plans agreed
upon fot distributing the D.Wo.W0 TO the
Cuban troops. on dist andinE. al though the
military assembly did not exist. He con-
ferred fur two hours to-day with General
Brooke regarding details.
General Brooke asked Washington sew
eral days aeo whether. Il, case he dissolved
the assembly his action would be approved.
The cabled reply authorized him to dissolve
that body. IT. in his Judgment such an act
was necessary. He hopes the assembly
will soon cease OF its own accord to hold
Its sessions. but. should sessions disquiet-
ing to the public mind continue. he will in
tervene. .,-
Havana is much more quiet to-day and
less excitement Is noticeable. This Is partly
due to the fact that the assembly held no
meeting. Rumors are current that It's SELF
dissolution Is a matter of the early future.
At meeting this morning. the Cuban gem
erals. Diaz. Robau. Monteauguado. Mo-
darse. Peraz. and others. decided to join
with General Pedra Betancourt, commander
OF the Cuban troops in MatanIas, In . pub

cussion understands that they viii side with
General Gomez. The papers continue to
print letters and telegrams from all points
declaring adherence to the veteran patriots
cause.
There tire numerous fresh calls to-day for
the resignation Of Civil Governor Mora and
Chief Of Police Henocal because Of their
attitudes, the result Of misunderstanding
or otherwise, toward Sundays parade In
honor Of General Comes. and tho names Of
their successors are already suggested.
The United States military authorities
publish the following statement:
I'VE are officially authorized to say that
the president Of the United States will not
recognize any obligation incurred by the
body known as the Cuban assembly, and
that all reports and assertions to the con-
trary are absolutely untrue"
This fs perhaps due to story published
In Ell Reconcentrado to the effect that q
representative of an American syndicate.
including Senator Hanna, is now here with
q view to making loan to the assembly.
There have been six designations from the
assembly since Sunday, Generals and Sc
nors Cespedes, Monteagudo. Nunez, Leira,

police who was called a coward by Roder-
iguez on Monday for clubbing q woman
while dispensing q portion Of the parade In

the two principals, to be fought with pis-
tolls to-day. but the military assembly sent
a notification to General Roderiguez and
Colonel Arrange last night forhidding the
