HAVANA. Oct. 14.-Press dispatches from
Bayamo. in Santiago province. tell OF an attack
on the Jail there by six American soldiers who
were anxious to secure tho release OF q friend
who was held as prisoner. According to tho
story. the American soldiers scared the jAilers
with all sorts OF threats aud took their friend
to the barracks. They even threatened to kill
the iailers and afterward refused to give tho
prisoner up to the police.
The dispatches say the people are indignant
and threaten to attack the Americans,
1t is said that Gen, Ludlow. the Military Gov

General Brooke against tho appointment Of

Special Gable Despatch TO THE SUE.

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE SUE.
HAVANA, Oct. 13.-In an editorial to-day La
Luchd appeals to the Government at Washing
ton to establish civil government here. It
says that during the Spanish regime Cuba
was DESTROYS OF being governed by civilians.
but this was never permitted, and 400 years
OF military rule caused the people to hate
such government. The time Is now favor
able for the realization OF the aspira-
tlon for civil rule. Tho paper declares
that the country 10 quiet. except for the agita-
ton that Is Kept IN by the newspapers and po-
ltical clubs 1t does not urge that the American
troops bs withdrawn 1t says they remain to
guarantee order. but it asks that civilian be put
at the head OF the Government. 1t thinks that
Congress- has many men who are abie rightly
TO govern Cuba. and 1t asks the American
press to assist in the campaign to secure the
appointment OF one OF them.
The sentiment expressed by La Luohd 10
general among Cubans Of all classes. and a
change would doubtless be welcomed n
tho troops remained. 30 long as the present
feeling between Cubans and spaniards grows
worse instead OF better it is realized that the
thought OF taking tho troops away would not
be entertained

that the time is coming for them to get even

where there has been much excitement for a
week past owing to the flag order. are to
the effect that Acalde Alquizar has followed
Mayor LaCoste's example and forbidden the
display OF the Spanish flag.
1t became known in Havana to-day that
young Julio Sanguily. who was recently con-
victel OF having hauled down the flag at the
Spanish Clerks Club. had been appointed a
census enumerator. The English edition
OF La Lucha denounces his appointment
as an act OF cowardice. taking 1t
for granted that he was appointed
since his escapade In order to smooth
matters over. This assumption, however.
is untrue. as he was appointed previously by
Supt Rasco. who says he will keep him so long
as he does his work.
