Havana, .Inn. 20. Since Saturday the
riotcrfl linvo lieon quiet, with exception
of ft dynaruito explosion in the Plaza
tli Colon, which did no harm. The rn
mor that the volunteers would revolt
iipnitiBt the government has had no
foundation. Nevertheless, on Saturday
nud Sunday several uenerals arrived
here from Matnnzas and Havana prov
inces with additional reinforcements.
About 15,000 men nre now located with
in the city limits and in the outskirts.
Certain persons have circulated n ru
mor that the volunteers would join in
the riote. and bare still further increas
ed popular passion by saying that the
government intended to disarm them
It bus also been nsserted that the vol
unteers would not have the
ballot, because they are in the puy of
the government, which 1b not a fact, as
only Impure and u few others arc puid.
The rect are merchants and elerks nerv
ing without pay. Those responsible lot
circulating these minors are interested,
it is usserted, in breeding trouble be
tween the government and the volun
teers, so us to have the latter disarmed,
and to lie assured of 80,000 men less
against the insurgents.
Now that the disturbance has quieted
down, the greatest part of the troops
have returned to their respective sta
tions. Among the government's supporters,
the riots are explained as spontaneous
and wholly without previous arrange
ment. They are ascribed to not only
the violent attacks upon urmy officers,
but uleo upon prominent loyal Spaniards

A Tinted States cavalryman, stu

Forest und Stream as follows in regard
to the self-destruction of a three-fanned
rattlesnake:
"Ak to the suicide of the creature, I
am forced to aMc for an explanation.
The snake at first sight, coiled up in
the usual manner for a prime .strike,
made a vicious lungr at my legging',
then drew buck and closely scrutinized
me from hat to shoe. Instantly a
change of expression came over his
features, and ferocity gave way to a
look that might have been horn of dis
gui.t and resignation. I watched him
e'oely, rot Knowing what might lx;
his next move. He suddenly astonished
me by plunging headlong into the
Belle Fourche. Motionless he sank, and
lay at full length at the bottom. I con
tinued to wateii him until the last ves
tige of his leptilious breath had risen
to the placid surface in a pearly bub
ble, and then with the aid of a stick I
raised him from the water, placed him
in the sunshine and satisfied myself
that life was extinct. I had never
known or heard of a rattler taking to
water, and here I was confronted by
the plainest ease of suicide by drowninr
In broad daylight. 1 have since then
