whether Secretary Hay will be caught

that Secretary Hay was ambassador to
England and his relations with the
English diplomats being very pleasant.

NEWS OF HAVANA.
Cuban Assembly Will Probably Dis.
sOlve-Otlier News.


Havana, March 24.-Thc military
assemb ly. owing to the absence of a
luoru III, held no meeting to-day. The
feeling is now that, as it is clearly i'm.
possible for the assembly to raise funds
for the use Of the army, the most logic
al course, all things considered. would
be to disband the army and dissolve.
A motion to this effect will undoubted-
ly be made soon. and will provoke a
hot contest. The Cuban generals,
Diaz, Monteaguedo, Robau, Nodarse,
Betancourt and Peraza, held another
secret meeting tonight. 1t is supposed
that, having consulted their commands,
they are now ready to take the side of
General Gomez against the assembly.
Orders have been issued to the police
to coniscate all revolvers carried by
civilians, and already the results are a
large collection of miscellaneous arms.
At 8 o'clock this afternoon the tenn
perature in Havana was 81 degrees.
General Weyler's decree suspending
executions upon judgments will expire
with the present month, and the situa-
ton, especially regarding mortgages. is
somewhat complicated. Creditors and
debtors alike, in anticipation Of the
expiration of the decree. have been
petitioning Governor General Brooke
for eeks to take action with view to
an equitable adjustment. The form of
new decree has been carefully con-
sidered by General Brooke and his ad-
visory cabinet, and the decree will be
issued on or before March 81.
