A detail ol company M, Tenth regular United KlaUs infantry, while quellina riot which broke out on Bombay street at 6 o'clock this evening waa fired upon. The resulars returned the fire and sent volley after "volley into the crowd of rioters as they fled out of the street. Two Spanish sailors were wounded and a Spanish marine was killed by the Americans. A number of other persons, whose names could not be secured, were also wounded in the melee which caased the Interference of the American troops. Three Cubans were fatally injured. Sev eral Spaniards who were csrriid away bv friends were wounded, but It is not known how seriously. The Cubans f.ho were laislly Injured are: Jose Delores, a mulatto, shot through the stomach with a rifle ballet. Ramon Delgadoa, shot in the bip and chest. Pedro Males shot in the groin.

A sensored special cable to the Tribune from Havana says: Rioting began at Montserrat tonight . A battalion of Spanlnh troops hurried from the barracks on the Prado to Gall- ano street, the dividing line between Cuban and Spanish territory. Order was restored, but in the firing which occurred before the troops ar rived, an 8-year-old Cuban child was killed by a stray bullet. Spanish territory in the New World is now limited to a narrow strip of land between Havana harbor and Calianl street. The flags of Cuba libra and the United States are waving within two blocks of the Prsdo, a great boulevard which runs through the center of Ha vana. Montserrat having been evacuated, the place was alive today with Cubans and people from tbe United States. The scene enacted at Cerro and Vedado last week snd Jesus del Monte yesterday, was related at Montserrat. There was even a greater demonstration, for Mont serrat come almost to the city. Some of the flags leaped acrosa the dividing line and waved cn the Spanish side. The calibration which waa begun on Chriatmas night May reached its height, Crowds of men and women waving Cu ban and American flags and carrying branches ot trees, paraded the streets shouting and singing. Many Americans went over to see the demonstration. They did not remain long. Owing to tbe intense enthusiasm, the populace Insisted on kissing the "brave Ameri- nnnfl. whether thev wanted to be kissed or not. Several affrays took place between the SDanish residents and the Cubans. A ffrocerv-keener on Oquendo Streets re fused to pnt out the Cuban colors, and was almost beaten to death with sticks As eveoine came on, the demonstration became noisier than ever, as many of the negro- parading were drank ana greatly excited. The Americana became fearful of another clash with the Spanish troops like that which ushered In Christ mas dsy. Francisco Luinteso, a Span ish volunteer patrolling the street near the Prado, was fired st from a housetop and kilted. A Cuban was killed in snother part of the city. Half doxen PnKana and Rnaniards were shot Or stabbed in affrays about the city. There was a fiabt between uuoans and Spaniarda in front of the United States Club at midnmht. Several ot tne participants were badly cut with mach- etea. Many American soldiers wno srere in town behaved so boisterously that General Ludlow says he is sorry that they were permitted to come into Havana, and in future none will do per mitted except on strictly military business. Senator McBride has introduced a bill appropriating $4000 for the purchase or construction of a launch for the use of tbe custom officials at Astoria. A craft capable of giving a good speed and one that will stand knocking about is badly needed in tbe customs service at Astoria, and Senator McBride's bill is intended to supply the deficiency.

Ticltet office. ,7a hi Washington. Dec. 27. Hon. Justin S. Morrill, the senior United States sena- from Vermont, died at 20 minutes past 1 o'clock this morning, In the 89th year of bis age, after an illness less than a week, With hira when the end came were his sister-in-law, Miss Louise Swan, his son James, Benjamin Durfee, for a long time associated with tbe senator in finance committee work at the capitol, and Colonel S. E. Chamberlain, an Inti mate friend. . Senator Procter was in the house at the time, b were also several other friends. ThA aonator never recovered from the unconscious state into which he lapsed narlv In the dav. and his death was calm n,t iwawfnl. The immediate cause oi death was pneumonia, which developed from an attack of grip, contracted aooui a week ago. Tbe venerable senator was confined to his home but Beven days. Despite his advanced age, he attended his senatorial duties faithiuuy ana regu larly went to the caDitol. About 10 days ago the weather here was cold, raw and foggy, and his physician thinks mat ex posure to its rigors brought on an at tack of grip. The day before congress adjourned for the Christmas noiiaays. the senator was unable to leave his resi dence. He grew no better as the days went on, his low vitality, due to advanc ing age being unable to resist the disease, niiriatmaa nlirht It developed into pneu monia, and from that time until the end he eank steadily. No definite funeral arrangements have t ham, made.but it is altogether likely J ' ..... a,!.- that public services will be neia in mo sAnatn chamber. The remains of Mrs. Morrill, who diea iirtnotiio nresent vear. are now in a vault at Rock Creek cemetery, near this city, and it may be that the senator a body will be deposited there pending re moval to Strafford, Vt where a mauso leum is in course of construction. Tn n, iWth of Senator Morrill the senate lost its senior member In point ol service and Its oldest in age, With Chicago. Dec. 28. A special cable gram to the Tribune, from Havana. Cuban residents of Havana declare tnni,?iit that if General Brooke does not rescind his order barring representatives of the Cuban insurgent army from being present at the evacuation ceremonies ot New Year's day. they will close their houses on that occasion, tear down their flags and decorations and remain in doors. ' FOR AVBYDOCK OJi THK COLUMBIA Senator McBride Trying Secure an Appropriation for one. Washington, Dec. 27. (Oregonian office, Post building.) Senator Mc Bride has oflered an amendment to the naval bill, which provides for the con struction of a stone drydock on the Col umbia river and appropriates ijuu.uuu for immediate use in beginning the work. According to the provisions of the amend mont thA dock shall be 700 feet in length, and its other dimensions shall be such as to accommodate the largest veasels in the regular or auxiliary navy, either existing at the present time, or likelv to be constructed in the future. The cost of the dock when completed is not to exceed $1,025,000. Provision is ui.n made for a new board ot naval officers to be appointed by the secretary Af Hi navv. to se ect a BUitaoie locauou for tbe dock, $1000 being Bet aside to defray the expenses of such a board. Senator McBride has introduced a bill to remove the charge of desertion fiom Maurice D. Roberts, deceased, who was a member of the Third Missouri cavalry and the Seventh Missouri Infantry dur i it,. r of the rebellion. From evidence, that had been collected, it would eeem that the musier-om roim were defective, and in this manner Rnborta was accredited with deserting. n: Hnttin A.

Arrived here at 8 :30 this morn ing. We have kept our six pounder hot. firing salutes. It is some sort ot a holi day and we salute everything in eight, ourselves included. As soon as we entered the harbor we fired a salute of 21 gnns, with tbe Brazilian flag at tbe mast head, and a fort replied. Then we saluted all the different nations whose flag Sew from a ship and each ship re plied seperately. After dinner tne Brazilian Dreeident came out in an anti quated eide wheel yacht and all the men- of-war saluted him. There were nve Brazilian, two English, one German, one French and tbe Iowa and the Ore gon, all bangiug away at once.. It sounded like a second Santiago. We , manned the rail and all the ships that carried masts manned the yards. It was a pretty . eight, with all the sailors all around tae rail, hands on each others shoulders, while on the yards the sailors stood hand in hand. Rio is very cool at present, in fact, all South American porta seem much cooler then when we left tbeni, but I suppose that is because we have been In hot weather for some time. I hear we are going to Manil from Honolulu. I hone not, fori confess 1 sm just a little homesick, and if w go to Manila I can't come home before tbe end of my cruise. Well, I guess I will appreciate home and friends wnen I ao get back. It waa all right until we got a new captain, but now tt is a continual round of qnarters and drill. Two years more and it will be over and then home again. The harbor is in the shape of a horse shoe. At the entrance, which is narrow, are two forts that look as if they could sink any ship, but during the last revolution here, a Braailian man-of-war used to run in and out at pleasure. There is a high rock at the entrance and the city is surrounded by a chain of mountains. The city seema laid out without regard to streets, the houses being set down wherever there is a flat spot. It is very unhealthy here, so we can't go on liberty, bat we are to wae part In a celebration on the 15th and a battallion may go ashore for exhibition drill. . On tbe 18th we leave for Sandy Point, Chili. We may see a little fight ing there as that city is a bone ot con tention between Chili and Argentine. From Sandy Point we coal from some small island near the equator and tnen to Honolulu. I will write from Hono lulu whether we are going to Manila or not. Uov. 17. We celebrated Brasilian in dependance day and inaugeration day. At sunrise each of the seventeen ships iu the harbor fired a salute of 21 guns. The bay is surrounded by mountains and valleys and they echo and re-echo the reports 'till it sounds like a navai battle. All the ships were dressed with flags of all nations, running in a single line from bow to mast-head and from yard-arm to Btern, in double lines. At "night electric lights were substituted for flags. The Brazilian flag floated irom .i, moat-head of the Iowa and the American flag from tbe jack-staff. The search lights were played on tbem all evening. We have no night dressing but we decorated with Chinese lanterna A stage was erected on our forecastle, the side awnings spread and tne iore- caatle became a theatre. Tho Btage was draped with an English flag on one side, an Italian on the other and the Hawaii an Jack overhead while "Old Glory" formed a background. The curtain was a Turkish flag. The officers otH.
