SOME VIEWS FROM HAVANA.

are beginning to show their luminosity
toward the Americans now in all manner
of means. There have been so many SEN
sational newspaper articles published
lately regarding the future outcome oil
the island that they have stirred them
selves into very different feeling toward
their benefactors.
Several little Incidents have occurred
lately that have tended to make matters
worse The editor of the FL Cubano pub
iIshed an editorial the other day calling
on all Cubana to pay no attention TO the
American Thanksgiving proclamation.
That. had the Americans performed what
they had promised TO do and Withdrawn
from the island so that Cuban inuepen-
dence could have Its way, then they would
have willingly Joined with the Americans
In giving thanks to God for his goodness.
The article was rather in0ammatory and
has done a great deal toward making
bad feeling among the two races.
Sunday was another funeral day. AS
usual, the city was draped IN mourning.
Captain Cresci. who was one OF the Cue
ban martyrs, was given a public funeral.
a week or so ago some bones were found
on the outskirts of the city which were
supposed to be his. Much rejoicing re-
suited, especially among the lower classes.

fellow was Hampton Genovar, son OF

frantic anu the procession stopped ior

Rumors are floating around even. among
the better class of Cubans that throughout

up toward defrhying the expenses OF the

and they propose to inaugurate the day by
following the example of the Filipivls,
who, they all claim. are just worrying
the Americans to death with their meth

likewise and propose to have Cuban lib

Another thing General Ludlow Is
threatened with all manner of things upon
his return. They are very bitter against
him. One of the paners here re-puh-
lished his interview with the New York
Herald wherein he stated that 1t would
take another generation of people in Cuba
before there would be men intelligent
enough to run government. Rumors are
freely heard that a public demonstration

The latter were forced to charge the
crowd several times before any sort of
