The defenses around the city have been strengthened. While some of the many batteries and forts are antiquated defenses In their en tirety, they are not to be despised. By grvat efforts enough material has been procured to make them of utility. Am munition Is no longer lucking. Should the point be raised where those forts and batteries are to be tested, it would be a question of persons rather than of ma terials. The officials are more apprehensive ot Malanias than of other ports. The mili tary governor thrre has been In consulta tion with General Hlaneo but Matantas ia exposed to Invasion nnd hostile troops could be landed with little opposition. Consul-Generul Lee has received no hint from Washington to arrange for Ameri cans to leave Havana or preimre for his own departure. Tho Fern Is In the har bor, steam up and two or throe tug boats are available In case of emergency. How ever, no Immediate emergency Is antici pated and Americans are not apprehen sive of their personal safety. The con suls In the different imrts of the Island do not report danger. While the loyal Spanish feeling Is high It has nut yet taken the form of demonstration against Individuals. The Havana people think they llnd some had symptoms among the Ignorant, but they are warned In time anil declare they have taken necessary pre cautions. The guard around the Ameri can consulate has boon again Increased and General Lee'a movementa are jruarded by a special detail of police, but without offensive Interference. The action of the Florida stale, authorities In compliance with Iho treasury department's orders advancing quarantine one month, works a great hardship to persons wanting to leave the Island. From Ihe standpoint of health there Is no Justification for It. Yellow fever has practically died out and no dnnger of currying contagion exists. The federal authorities are apparently doing nothing to modify tho regulations which are put In effect by direction of the treasury de partment. The political situation has no bearing on tho situation. The autonomist has probably fulfilled Us last function in approving the plea made by Galvoa to President McKlnley against Intervention unless It bo to uphold Spanish sovereignty under tho guise of autonomy. That docu ment was meant for reading outside ol Cuba. Hero the conditions are so well known It exerts ridicule among the sup porters of the government. Autonomy Is dead and Spanish sovereignty paralysed. No further comment can be made on Gab ves' statements and nothing further re mains for the autonomist cabinet now that its last manifesto has been issued.

The two foremost bram bei of the Cuban question In Wash ington today were the prislilent'a inea aage mid Kur(-an mediation, which now has taken an active form In courts of Komi, according to advltea received at the foreign embasaiea here, though no proffer haa been made to the United titatea. Kegardlng the first. It can be atat'.l that It Is fully expected by the administration that the message will be sent to congress on Wednesday, In all probability, and certainly by Thursday. The members of Mi Klnley'a cabinet and his friends In ongrea stated definitely today that It will deal vigorously with the question. Ill Include the Maine Incident, and make definite recommendation to congress, one of which will be the recognition of Cuban Independence. As to the mediation of Kuroixr or the pe. they declare that those material arid moral (aiwers mual exercise th'lr suasion un Spain, for this government will Insist on the Independence of Cuba as the ultimate sine qua non, unless the Insurgents tht-rnst lves should consent to leaa. and this they have flatly refused to do. SK-aking of this point, one of toe cabinet officers said today: "You can s.ty for me that all the power of Kune and all the heads of the rhun he may promise mediation to Spain If they dealre. but the Cnlted State will positively not listen to mediation of any kind that doe not lead to the acceptance f our condition, which I the Independ ence of Cuba." Notwlthatandlng the many reports of Kuropean mediation, they assumed their first tangible form thl afternoon, when at least two of the European establish ments In Washington received notice that exchange of notes between the great power were In progress In arriving at a basis on which they make a Joint pro posal for mediation. It I evident that trie exchange ha not yet been produc tive of a common understanding, as the iimhaasadont and ministers at Washing ton have not received Instructions yet to Initiate the movement. The only in formation thus far Is that notes are pass ing by tek graph between the capitals of Europe. It had been understood that Frame nnd Austria were most active In bringing aluut this movement, and that Great Britain had held aloof from it. but it tleveIoatl today that the ltrltih gov ernment was also taking part in the ex i h.tngi . and that. In case of concerted ac tion by the power. Great Britain would probably an with the other. MESSAGE ON WEDNESDAY". Washington, April 4.

The money that Exeta has used In this country was furnished by his wife who Is now In the South American re public settling up the exile's affairs. She will return here on May g. The general says he will never again interest hlmselt In Salvadorean politics. He Is now living In Oakland. BIG WHEAT SALE. Albany, April 4. G. A.
