Early on the evening Of the 10th

well late last night was shown an AZ:
ISOLATED Press dispatch from Washing1

ment and said he hau received no such
order and added he believed that the

Washington, D. c., Sept 14.-It was
officially announced here late last
night that the 120 sailors who were
landed at Havana from the American
cruiser Denver have been ordered to
Immediately return to their vessel'
save for a small guard which will be,
left at the American legation. This
action followed the receipt Of an OF.
sicial report by Acting Secretary Bacon
from Mr.. Sleeper, the American
charge d'affaires at Havana, regarolng
the landing of men. The report was
not made public, but 1t was announced
officially afterward that the sailors
were landed from the Denver solely
and simply for the projection OF the
lives and property Of American citi-
zens; that such action was in pursu-
ance Of a discussion between Mr..
Sleeper, the charge, and the naval
commander with the belief that it was
a wise precaution looking to the pro-
lection Of the lives and property OF
the Americans. There was no lnten-
ton, it is stated, to do otherwise than
to safeguard American interests and
the services of the sailors were to be
utilized only in case of disorders with,
in the city which threatened such in
terests. That the landing in any way
contemplated the protection Of either
the Cuban government or the insurrec-
tionary government, of President Pal
ma or any ether persons than amer
lean citizens was disclaimed officially
and it was pointed out that this fact
could not be emphasized. too strongly.

CAMBRIDGE WINS BOAT RACE.
Harvard oarsmen Defeated in Inter

Putney, England. BY the de-
cisive distance Of two lengths Cam
bridge won the great international
boat race Saturday, stalling off by a
steady, powerful stroke all Harvard's
desperate spurts.
The light blues had the advantage
of the choice Of stations, which gave
them at least length to the good,
in consequence of the wind sheltered
water on the Surrey side of the river.
They got away ahead at the start,
and were enabled to maintain their
lead. and even increase it as soon
as they reached the wind roughened
water at Chiswick Eyot. It was a
pretty race throughout.

CAMP NEAR PALACE.
American Sailors Well Prepared for
Trouble

Havana, Sept. 14.-There are 100
sailors from the United States protect
ed cruiser Denver camped in front OF
old La Flrerza castle, facing the Plaza
de Armas, the little park in front of
the presidential palace, which is the
seat of the Cuban government. 1'he
American flag is planted just inside
of the low stone coping separating the
castle grounds from O'Rielly street,
which thoroGghfare passes between
the camp and the Plaza de Armas. The
American sailors are armed with regu,
lation rifles, with the exception of a
few who carry revolyers or carbines.
Two field hoWitzers and two rapid fire
sors and now point across the pretty
little park, a significant warning to-
any one approaching the executive
headquarters of the Cuban government
with hostile intent.
The Denver, which originally an;
chored far IN the bay. dropped down
last evening to position abreast of
the foot of O'Rielly street and in front
of the offices Of the captain of the
port, so as to be conveniently near
the detachment sent ashore, and close
at hand in case Of need.
The whole business was done so,
quietly and quickly that it caused the
greatest surprise. The reason Tor tho
sudden landing Of the American sail
ors was a conference between Presi-
dent Palma, Charge Sleeper, and Com
mander Cowell yesterday afternoon.
On the occasion of the latter's formal
call upon President Palma, Mr.. Sleep
er asked the president the direct ques-
ton whether he considered that the
government was able to protect all
American interests in Havana unaided.
The president replied that he hoped
do SO, but himself suggested that It
might be advisable as measure Of
precauticn in the interests OF Amer,
cans as well as for the maintenunce
of order in general to land marines
at some convenient point, suggesting
the Plaza de Armas as the place.
Mr.. Sleeper and Commander Cowell,
after a brief conference. decided that
the landing should be made last even
ing. and at $50 o'clock the detach-
ment, under command If Executive
Officer Miller, began coming ashore
with arms, ammunition and camp par
aphernalia and took up a position
commanding the approaches to the
palace. Two hours later the commits
sary outfit followed with supper for
the officers and men.

opposition on the part of Samuel
