In case of intervention, which was % counted upon as a possibility, the conspirators looked with equa- 23 nimity on a disastrous national rising and the fall of the dynasty, with 2 the Carlists arriving to restore order. % % Senor Robledo, foiled, is now preparing an address to the Queen % Regent, to which he will attach his name, asking that the present % tes be called and giving as a reason the discontent evinced in 2 ya against autonomy and probably suggesting a reactionary regime % and General Weyler's return to Cuba. % In G me circles here, much hope is based upon the United & States being favorable toward influencing the Insurgents to pause in % their activity and give the Cubans a chance of saying whether or not & y h for autonomy. The Government has staked Its existence % upon the idea that autonomy means peace and hopes that recent reve- 2 lations of the opponents of autonomy will show they are the enemies 23 of America, as of the Liberal Spanish policy. % This evening thousands of cards are being circulated wherever peo- % ple gather. The front picture shows General Weyler, covered with dec- £ orations and in full uniform, bearing the flag of Spain and an olive % branch, on which is inscribed the words, “Viva Weyler; retrato con sor- % presa.” The back Is apparently blank, but when held to the light it % shows the figure of Don Carios on a magnificent charger, with the % words, “Dios Patria y Rey.” This tells the whole tale. % ; %2 WAL BUNNNBNNURURNN NEW YORK, Jan. 15.—Count de Penalosa was a passenger on board the steamer La Gascogne when she sailed to-day for Havre. The Count, who came to this country about two months ago as the avowed agent of Don Carlos, pretender to the Spanish throne, has spent the most of his time while here in visiting arms manufactories in the East. He has frequently put forward the prediction that within the year Don Carlos will be the acknow- ledged King of Spain. g % 2 % = % % % = % ” =2 = & HAVANA, Jan. 15.—Havana to-day is at least outwardly calm, after. three days of tumult and threatened conflict between the populace, backed by the suppressed sympathy of volunteers, and Governor-General Blanco. At no time during these trying days has there been any indication of immediate danger to the lives of Americans. Al- though I have been present at every collision between the troops and the people, T have not heard a single anti- American outery. ‘While the disorder has been persist- ent, the rioting has not been of a very violent type, as evidenced by the fact “that no lives have been lost and but © few persons wounded, and the destruc- tion of property has been trifiing. It * i8 true that the significance of the sit- uation lies In the fact that the violence of the mob, unarmed as it has been, wlthw_mlhnmmm“n.mwmtom“nwm,n nuRLRRuLuLLLLRRRNRy is beyond visible expression a protest against General Blanco’s rule and the newly implanted autonomical regime, | and at no time numerically formidable, | | populace and the volunteers, but in the | army itselt. Although quiet now reigns, there is only too great reason to fear that the end has not yet come. What the Gov- ernment fully realizes is that the mob, which could at any time have been di movement. This Is proved by the fact | that it has been deemed necessary to | draft fully 6000 regulars into the city from the country, in addition to strong bodies of Guardia Civiles and Order Publicos, and that since Wednesday night Havana has been an armed camp. That the threatened eonflict with the volunteers has been averted is due, in a great measure, to the firm attitude and diplomacy of General Parrado, as- sistant captain-general ex officio, in command of the volunteers. Throughout the disturbances the ani- mating spirit of the mob has been en- thusiasm for General Weyler and a de- mand for the vigorous prosecution of the war. On General Blanco and the new government the foulest abuse and the bitterest lmprecations have been poured out, Officers of the volunteers which is prevalent not only among the | persed by a handful of police, by no | means represents the strength of the | BRRRURRB RN |cret of their determination to proceed | icy, but being doubtful of its success, | to any length to force the resignation or recall of General Blanco. So far the army has remalned loyal, but there is no question that discon- tent with General Blanco is prevalent |in all ranks. The fact that the Gov- | ernment has released all the officers | concerned in the outbreak is regarded as an evidence of weakness. It is ru- mored to-day that an understanding exists between the army and the volun- teers, and the latter are pianning an armed demonstration to-morrow with | the intention of compelling General | Blanco to take refuge on the cruiser | Attonso XIL | " La Lucha yesterday published a tele- | gram, censored at the palace, stating that General Lee had informed his Government that tranquility reigned in Havana. I showed this to General Lee, and he said he had never sent any such telegram. * General Lee sald that, while he did | not think the situation at present de- manded the presence of a warship, yet he thought it was so serious that he dispatched three or four telegrams daily to Washington describing the sit- uation. General Lee is also highly indignant at a telegram published in La Lucha, purporting to come from Washington, and stating that General Lee direct- ly offered the services of an American warship for the protection of Spanish lives and property, and that General Blanco had said such ald ias not re- quired. This telegram General Lee de- nounced as absolutely perverted. “What I did do,” said General Lee, | “was to send a message to the palace that unless they gave me assurance they were able to guarantee the lives and property of Americans here during the riots, T would cable for a warship, and have one here pretty quick, too.” | disturbances were at an end. 2 St AMERICAN INTERESTS T0 BE PROTECTED BY THE PRESIDENT.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.—A Washing. ton special to the Herald says: The report received from Consul-General Lee to-day was of the most reassuring character as to the present condition of affairs, as were also the cablegrams received by Minister De Lome.
