WILL BLOW OVER.
No Overt Act Feared as Result of the
Excited Public Feeling in Cuba.

No Overt Act Feared as a Result of the
Excited Public Feeling in Cuba.
HAVANA, May lS.-Members of the
late Cuban military assembly and other
discontinued persons belonging to the
new revolutionary club styled the Vet.
Grams association met at Cerro and in.
dulged in prolonged debate on the
question of the troops surrendering
their arms. One group was in favor of
entrusting the arms to the brigade
chiefs or Cuban municipalities. An
other group was opposed altogether to
surrenderlng the arms, saying it might
be necessary to "use them against
Am erican pretensions."
kilograms from all the provinces were
read opposing the giving up of arms.
The supposed weakness of General
Gomez was contrasted with Aguinaldo's
patriotic course. No decision was made.
Infiamnatory Message Voted Down.
During the meeting Colonel Myores
proposed to send the following telegram
to Santiago:
General discomfort. We refuse to
surrender arms. Opinion unanimous. "
General Andrade declined to agree to
the suggestion, saying it Would not be
advisable to make such display of
feeling. Instead of the dispatch pro-
posed by Myores the following was
sent:
Reunited. Decided to agree to mus
ter out on the basis Of decree of former
assembly. Announced that Brooke will
modify his decree. Await to see if sat-
isfactory. Concert with you in final
proceedings"
The voting on this dispatch was SO in
favor, against S6 opposed.
Agitation Considered Superficial.
Such meetings as the one held at
Cerro would be regarded in less in
fammatory country as omlnous and
outsiders might think Cuba was on the
verge Of il surrection. Public feeling is
certainly excited, but those whose judg-
ment is worth most consider the agita-
ton to ba superficial and to consist
merely of rlrasings which will never
lead to an overt act. Governor General
Brooke will 30 ahead as inoffensively as
possible in the disbursement of the 49,
100000 appropriated for the Cuban
troops. This cannot begin, however,
until next week. If the Cubans wish to
surrender their arms to the municipali-
ties all will be well. The American
authorities will raise no objection.

WASHINGTON. May lS.-Senor Luis
Munoz River, premier of the Porto
Rican cabin 4 ande, the S5rcss,nish regime
was interviews eoAc6Tning the Letter
written by him declaring that General
Henry had been recalled as governor
general of the island and severely and
even violently criticising General Henry
and others, Senior Rivera admitted
authorship of the letter, but said it was
not written for publication and had
been badly translated. In an interview
he reiterated the statement that Cen
eral Henry had made many mistakes in
Porto Rico and that majority of the
people applauded his retirement. The
radical party, he admitted, had given
farewell manifestations of regret, as
General Henry favored this party in all
things. He complained of the treat
ment of thu liberal party, of which he
is the head, by General Henry. All
people in Porto Rico, he said, welcomed
annexation to the United States and
would not change it for independence.
He (Rivera) represented the agricultur-
lists of the island, having been elected
by large assembly at San Juan. Porto
Rico asked full admission into the
American Union, with free interchange
of products, reform OF the money sys-
tenn, freedom of the press, home rule in
municipal affairs, and such measures as
would tend towards firm and free as
similationof the island with the Amer
