Havana, March FLA serious con-
alct between the police and people Of
Havana Saturday night resulted in
much shooting and clubbing. From
thirty TO forty people were wounded,
some seriously. Among the injured Is
Police Captain Estampes, formerly n
colonel In the Cuban army.
The trouble occurred at a public
mulatto ball In San jose street. an un.
sayory quarter. Many Cuban officers,
colonies and captains among them,
attended the affair. A policeman on
duty In that street, following orders
10 prevent n crowd collecting in front
Of the building where the ball was In
progress, asked a group Of men TO go
In or dispense. His request was un.
needed, and after repeating II he was
attacked by the gioup, wherrupon
many men issued from the building
and set upon him. took away his club
and revolver and handled him roughly.
The policeman Immediately notified
headquarters, who ordered twenty re-
serves 10 the scene. The crowd had
prepared for their arrival. It is said
they opened with revolver fire upon
the police, which the latter returned,
the shooting being kept up until the
ammunition was exhausted. The OPP
ponents OF the police acted with deter
mination In the ARRAY. Many who
were In the building mounted the roof,
which was low, aud fred upon the po-
lice from that point. They were APP
parently well armed, and this fact,
together with the resolution with
which they fought, seems TO confirm
the belief that the attacking party was
mostly made up Of Cuban officers, as
ordinary civilians would have fed from
the royolvers OF the police. Several
women were injured durigg the ARRAY.

Washington, March 20. 60 Adyices
have been received from Manila which
indicate that the climax may occur at
any hour. The officials here are very
well pleased with the condition Of af-
fairs, but will not at present discuss
the details Of the dispatches. The In
dications are that hostilities may end
within very short time. President
Mckinley has been 80 advised
The reasons for the belief OF General
Otis that n climax might come at any
hour were not stated, but his assump-
ton was based on the favorable reports
he had received from various sources
that the Filipinos were tired OF the
war and Aguinaldo's leadership. II is
believed at the war department that
the method In which the Americans
have conducted the fighting has done
much to convince the Filipinos OF the
uselessness of trying To drive out the
United States forces. The fighting has
been OF different character from that
to which they were accustomed when
the Spaniards were In possession OF
/ Manila.
