FEAR AMERICAN ATTACK.
NatiUe Citisens of Isle Of Pines
GreatIy alarmed.

Havana, Nov 26, 1890 a. m.-The newspaper
"Mundos" at midnight received dispatch from
Bata abano, which says that the Cuban gunooat
Arana has arrived there from the Isle of Pines.
Her captain reports that the native citizens or
Neuva Corona Isle Of Pines are greatly alarmed
because of fear that the Americans will attack
the town on Sunday and take forcible possession
of the government offices.
The Associated Press has been informed in the
most positive terms that whatever develops in
the Isle of Pines, Cuba, in no circumstances, will
ask the United States to intervene, even to the
extent of sending q gunboat. This statement
was made by General Freyre Andrade Sec
retary of the Interior, after conference with
President Palma. at which General Rodriguez,
commander of the Rural Guard. present.
Asked whether the members of the government
all adhered to this view, General Andrade re-
piled:
a thing as to ask the assistance of the Wash
ington government. The President was very
angry because he understood that Mr.. SQutreS
limited that it might perhaps be wise in the
event of trouble to ask Washington to send
gunboat as warning TO the Americans to keep
| order The Cuban government will maintain
order in its territory and will ask no assistance
from anybody, The Americans here are con-
Sidered to be foreigners with the same status
as that of any other foreigners. If they try 10
assume official functions we will put them in
Jail and we believe that we do 1t and at the
government.
There is no news to-day from the Isle of Pines.
The mail schooner which sails from NueYa
Corona for Batabano early on Saturday evenings
had not been sighted when this evenings train
for Havana left Batabano. A special messenger of
the government left Batabano to-day for the
Isle of Pines in the little gunboat Arana, with
instructions to return and report as soon tas
possible
An that is known here is that meeting of
! Americans on the island held yesterday to
confirm what had previously been done, this
meeting being considered necessary owing to in
sufficient notice having been given Of the inten-
tions of the Americans to nominate territorial
officers.
A report seems to have been spread among the
Cubans at Nueva Corona that this meeting VIII
be prolific of trouble, which will eliminate to-
morrow when the Americans assume the offices
in defiance of Cuban authority. This report
however, lacks confirmation.
There are only twenty-five Rural Guards and
dozen policemen in the Isle of Pines, but Sec
retary Freyre Andrade says that the Cubans in
the island will give this force every assistance
in the event of trouble. The Americans on the
island have few arms.
