A pan icky feelina pievril in business cir cle here, owing to a fear that the Americana aritl turn the city ovei t'l Ilia Cnliana for udf-irnVorillUcrit No confidence exist, owing to the uncer tainty of tho future. Orders that weie given during the first days of tlio American occupation have been coun termanded by' cable. European mer chandise on through bills of lading via New York ha been ordered unshipped and sold in New York, even at a sicri fice. The same feeling extend to the Cuban merchant themselves, who seem to havojust faith ill the ability of their own people to control affairs. The rebel demand independence, but the better classes, the merchant and land owners, dread such a isibility, arid fervently hope that tlio United Slate will retain the reins of government in the island, a the only guarantee of stability or prosperity. Senor Julian fen doja, agent of the Ward line of steam rs, says that 0 hundred Sponish merchant have ap plied for cabin and baggage room on tho return trip of the steamer Philadel phia, which is exMte. today, ond they will leave the city unless there is some assurance from tho American gov ernment that it intends to control the administration of public affairs in Cuba. This is the question uppermost in everybody' mind. Spanish, foreigners and natives are all alike anxious for a definite expression from Washington of tho K)licy of tiie United States with regard to Cuba, and until tlio expres sion is made, no resumption of trade or commerce can be eiected in Santiago, whero today both are in a demoralized and chaotic state.

As a result they have held a meeting hero, and after consultation with tho Filipinos in France and Bel gium, have cabled to President McKin ley and to Senator Davis, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. The message to President McKinley is as follows: "The Filipino resident in Europe pray you not to abandon the Philippine islands for tlio suko of pence with Spain. Our loyalty and trust in the honor of America entitle us to your consideration and support. To baud over our country again to Spain is con trary to the humanitarian proceedings of your noble nation, and the wish of all classes. Civilization, tiado and all will bo lost if Spanish authority is re established in any form." Tho messago to Senator Davis says: "A castiron agreement, binding Spain to form a government aatistac tory to tho inhabitants, is prcmstcr ous. To retain her sovcruigntv mean deception, oppression and bigotry. We idaee our rights in your hands, and pray you to induce the president and senate not to abandon in the hour ol eace a peoplo who. dusting in Ameri can honor, fought for their common interests."

Kecognilion of the independence of Cuba, cession of one of the Ladrono islands as a coaling ata tion, and cession to tho United State sf at least a coaling station in the Phil ippine. Tho question undecided i what dis position will Iw made of tho Philip pines. It can bo stated that there is practically no difference of opinion in the cabinet on the retention ol the Philippines a a whole, all the mem bers being opposed to our acquisition of these islands. Thcie ha been no decisiou on the extent to which the government will go in it decision re specting the future of these islands, but It is expected tho answer of tho president will express tho willingness of this government to leave tho matter of tho future government of the Philip pines entirely in the hands of a joint commission, to be appointed by this government and the government of Spain. The probability is that the United States will insist on certain re forms in the government of tho Philip pine. Our answer will make no mention ol a money indemnity. Neither will there bo any armistice at all. Tho answer will be in the nature of an ulti matum, and if Spain does not accept it she will faro worse In tho future. CONDITIONS IN HAVANA.

In fact, everything was going on the samo as usual. Tho the aters, dancing halls and business of every character wero flourishing, and but for the presence of troops in tho city you would never know a war was in progiesa. "Tho blockade at Havana has thus far not proved very effective. Tho farms iironnd tho city furnish all tho supplies necessary. Tho soil is so for tile that crops can be produced in SO days. There is no scarcity of provi sions in Havana, nor has there been nny perceptible advance in tho price of fiMvl. There aro 40,000 regular sol diers and 25,000 volunteers in tho city. "About 8,000 men arn working night ami day strengthening Havana's fortill uitions, under tlio personal direction of General Blanco. A few days beforo I quitted tho city, tho captain-general told me Havana would lie well-nigh impregnable, and that talk of its fall after six months' of bombardment was theer nonsense " FRANCE PROTESTS.

Tho French embassy has called the attention of the state department to the circum stances connected with the seixure of tho Fench merchant steamship Olinde ltoilrigiiczl, and has requested the im mediate, release of that steamer. The action was taken simultaneously with a protest from tho Frencli Trans-Atlantic Steamship Company against tho eixure. The state department has sub mitted all tho papers in the case to the department of jiistloe, with a view to getting an opinion on the legal ques tions involved. The grounds of the representations of tho embassy are that tfie Hodrigues was engaged in ordinary mercantile pursuits, and lias alio on board tho official mail of the French minister at Port au Prince.

The time for their removal is left to General Shnftor, the only limitation placed upon him being that he shall not delay the homeward sailing of his troops beyond the moment when it shall be safe for them to leave San tiago, having regard to the fever condi tions. Meanwhile, details are being made of troops to supply the force that shall garrison Santiago so long ns it shall be found necessary to contiuue trtops there.
