THE CONFERENCE IN HAVANA.
The visit paid TO Matanzas by Generals Chaf-
fee and Carpenter is causing a GOOD deal OF
comment coming Immediately after the con-
ference Of the Provincial Governors with Cen
eral Brooke Although II is generally under
stood that the conference was harmonious still
II is believed that the Governor-General left
several matters TO a majority vote which are
not vet settled. and the probability is that the
nresent visit mas some connection with the open
questions All who attended the conference
maintain a strict reticence regarding what was
said and done but the interchange OF Views has
undou otedly conduced to fusion and federation
although the Governors Of the departments rec
ognize that different conditions exist in differ
ent provinces.
