WARNING FACTIONS
In Havana Are Liable to Clash at
ANY Time.

Havana, March 1.-THE reported res
ignation Of Civil Governor Mora is I'M
true.
A certain nervous tension and uneasy
restlessness, especially during the even
ings, is nOticea BILE in the vicinity of
Central park, where the men congregate
and talk politics. The police have or
dered not to allow groups to assemble
and are dispensing them This causes
uncomplimentary comment about them,
people declaring that the police are in
terfering with their rights and free
dom.
Another Gomez manifestation has
been planned to take place this after
noon and it is said the Cuban officers
win organize a, manifestation in favor
of the Cuban military assembly, which,
if it takes place, will possibly lead to a
clash between the opposing factions. In
fact, some people declare such a con-
f1ict can not be averted. But it should
be noted that while the air is full of
rumors of trouble and many have been
expecting deeds of violence, none have
occurred. There are seventy policemen
on duty in the immediate vicinity of the
Central park cafes last night, where
the effervescence of the crowd was most
noticeable.

Badly Exaggerated.

Sanitary Inspector Ledsinger has re-
turned from a trip do wn the Georgia and
Alabama road, where he went to inves-
tigate reports concerning small pox at
Richland, Green Hill and other points.
1t seems that the reports of the num-
Der of cases of small pox at these points
have been badly exaggerated. The local
authorities ave the disease veil in hand
wherever it exists, and it is not likely
that it will spread at either of the plac es
named. 1t is understood that Column
bus will not quarantine against tbs
places named, as it is hot believed there
is any danger of infection.
1t was reported esterday that negro
man had been sent to Jail at Cusseta
some days ago because he refused to be
vaccinated. He was taken out of the
jail yesterday, because it was feared
that he was developing a case Of small
pox,-COlumbus Enquirer~Sun.
