Havana, Sept. 14.-There are 100
sailors from the United States
cruiser Denver camped in front of the
old La Guerra castle, facing the
Plaza de Armas, the little park in
front of the presidential palace, which
is the seat of the Cuban government.
The American flag is planted just in
side the low stone coping separating
the castle grounds from O'Reilly
street. which thoroughfare passes be-
tween the camp and the Plaza de Ar
mas. The American sailors are
armed with regulation rifles, with the
exception of few who carry revolv-
ers or carbines. Two field howitzers
and two rapid fire guns were SEN
ashore with the sailors and now point
across the pretty little park, a sig
nificant warning TO any one approach

Cuban government with hostile i'll

The Denver. which originally an
chored fuwther up the bay, dropped
down lat evening to a position
abreast of the foot of O'Reilly street
and in front of the Office of the cap
tain of the port, so as TO be conven-
