A SPANISH WAR VESSEL
 ENTERS HARBOR OF HAVANA


 Havana, June 25.--The school ship Nautilus, the first Spanish ship of the navy to enter Cuban ports since the re- llnquishment of Spanish sovereignty in the island, came into the harbor of Havana yesterday and was hailed with enthusiastic expression of delight by the entire Spanish colony of the city. many thousands of Cubans joining in the demonstration.
 A fleet of upwards of 100 gaily-deco- rated yachts and launches, steamers and sailboats, gathered in the mouth of the harbor to welcome the visitor and escort her to her anchorage. The roofs of the houses in the city. the Malecon seawall and the battlements of Morro, Punta, and Cabanas, were covered with spectators. Over Moro flew the original Cuban flag, which replaced the Stars and Stripes on the birth of the Cuban republic on May 20, 1eO2.
 Surrounded by the escorting fleet, the Nautilus slowly passed Cabanus, whose battery returned her salute. and pro- ceeded to her anchorage within a few hundred yards of the wreck of the Maine. While the Cubans very gen. orally seem to wish to do honor to the visitors, there were cries in some guar ters of hostility still lingering, which may lead to unpleasant incidents. The authorities are takong every precaution to suppress the least sign of disorder.
