HAVANA IN POLICE CHARGE
SEVERAL GAVE THEIR LIVES
Blue Coats Were Put to Tests veral
Were Severely Wounded and One Has
Died-The Attack ON Them Inspired
by Criminals-M Military Moving on.

New York, March 2l.---A dispatch to
the Tribune from Havana says:
The exhibitions Of lawlessness, which for
the last two days have shocked the city's
growing sense Of order and security, proved
fiery trial to the newly organized Ha-
vana police.
The members OF the force were put to a
test which public opinion scarcely thought
it equal to, and as q result General Memo
calls bluecoats stand higher today in pop
ular estimation than would have been
fancied possible after the fiascos commit
ted in attempting to suppress the anti
assembly demonstrations week ago.
1t was charged then against the police
men that they clubbed women and c...l-
dren, but begged men to move on with
the most scrupulous politeness. On Sat
urday night and yesterday the bluecoats
showed they could face the fire and their
buscade attack showed decided courage
under trying circumstances.
In this street fight seven officers, in
cluding the lieutenant in charge, were
severely wounded. One died yesterday
and several others are scarcely expected to
recover. Four officers were slightly wound
ed outside the San Jose dance hall. An.
other patrolman was killed yesterday af
ternoon while ON duty in different sec
ton Of the slums.
1t is believed that the attack on the
police was inspired by certain notoriou.
criminals known as Nanigos, who have
recently been repatriated from Spanish
prisons, but whatever the cause, the as
sault is accepted here as showing thu
need Of prompt curtaiment of the priv
ilege of carrying arms and the enforce
ment by some examples of severity OF I
more wholesome respect for the police.
Military Moving Oat.
The abandonment Of the upper Prado by
the Tenth infantry is visible sign Of thu
relaxing grip on the city Of the American
military occupation. This stretch Of path
way had been appropriated for camp sit
and the tents OF the soldiers had shut of
completely the pleasant view up this par
OF Havana's only show street.
The Tenth infantry has now gone t
Mantanzas and the Prado and its environ
are no longer alive with the disfigurin,
activities of military camp.

Bullets Are Poisoned.

Washington, D. c., March 23.-Re-
ports received at the war department.
from the medical officers serving with
troops in the Philippines show that Agui-
haldo's army is using brasstipped bull
let's Several American soldiers have been
wounded by the poisonous projectiles, and
in consequence the wounds are more diff
ficult to heal than those caused by the
ordinary bullet. Their action in this re.
spect, officials say, is another indication
Of their utter unfitness for self-govern.
ment.
1t was officially stated at the state de.
partment that the proclamation just is
sued by the Philippine commission is in
accordance with the instructions to P e
ident Schurman and his associates.
1t is the understanding of the officials
that within "a hours General Otis will
recommence operations against the Fill
pinos.
These will impress upon the insurgents
the determination Of the United States tc
end the insurrecton and the hopelessness
of further resistance.
