A dispatch to the Herald from Havana says: Although the rioting was practically over on Friday night, troops continued to pour Into the city up to Sunday. Gen. era) llernal arrived from Plnar del Rio on that morning with a force estimated at 9Q num and bivouacked In th railroad yard.

It Is estimated that U.on) troop were In the city In addition to the regular garrtson. There was muoh speculation as to the cause of uch ex traordinary precautions In view of the fact that th city was apparently tran quil. The usual parade of the volunteer paluoe guard on the Prado wu permit ted, but a cordon of regulars massed the crowd at a distance permitting no one to llrwu'h the volunteer. After the vol unteers marohed to the palace all re straint wer removed, but the cavalry remaned on duty in front of the Hotel lngVterra until the next morning. Dur ing the nlk-ht one or two small disturb, anoc occurred And a few shota were tired, but no one was hurt. A few bat talion of troops returned to their sta tion in the field Monday morning, evl. dently on the strength of rumors that the Insurgents were about to take ad vantage of their absence to assume the offensive although a largo number of troops still remain.

Alaska rate are prov ing a source of trouble to western roads and It Is likely that a meeting of all the roads will be called tn the near future to consider them. Th chief trouble now Is that the pur chaser of tickets to Seattle cannot be assured ot any definite date of sailing for Alaska on account of the crowded condition of the steamer and the few boats that are available for the traffic. One of the western roads, which sold several ticket for Alaska Informed the purchasers that the boat would aall on a certain day and that they would have no trouble In seouring the passage. When the arty reached the coast they found that tt was Impossible for them to get on the boat, aa all the available space had been taken long before their arrlvnl. The road waa then compelled to keep them Seattle until the sallnlg of another steamer, a proceeding that proved very expensive to the road. The road will try to make dellnlte ar angements with the steamship compa nies for tho tare of the passengers they bring to Seattle, and falling In this, they IH sell tickets to Paclflo coast ports ithout any stipulation aa to the salllnc of boats.
