ANOTIfHR ACCOUNT.
New York, Jan. . 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. About th. aame time a column of
1'") cavalry rod In and found quarters
In the Cuartel de la Fura. In Cuba
street on the artillery wharf batteries of
field artillery were planted In poslHoo to
rake Cuba street All public buildings
along th harbor front to Pkxa d'Armes
to the Puma were crammed with troop
and largo bodfo at cavalry and Infantry
were ht ld In reserve In the streets adja
cent to Central park. 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. An explanation of
fered for the concentration of troop far
In exoee. of the apparent gravity ot th.
situation, l that General CUnco haa de
termine to mobilise one-quarter of the
volunteer force ami end it Into the field
on active duty. If he ever had such an
Mva he has apparently abandonedjl- A
muoh more probable solution Is offered
In the Madrid telegram In the paper re
ceived here this morning, stating that
the riots were th result of a conservative
plot tn Spain to overthrow the ministry
and General Blanco and to enforce the
return of General Blanco.
FROM NICARAGUA.

respondent with the Nlcaraguan commis
sion sends these advices from Managua,

that half that amount would be much

Others took the view that It was the

the higher rate would have the effect of
keeping out of Alaska people who would
only become a burden upon the territory.
The Victorian, of the O. R. & N. fleet

FIOHT ON ALASKA RATES.
Chicago, Jan. 20. 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.

as follows:
At the present moment It Is felt that
the same material conditions prevail that
exl ted when the president sent his last
message to congress. At that tint it
was stated that a plan of autonomy hav

mean of ameliorating the condition, on

The recent occurrences at Havana ar
looked upon as affording evidence ot d la
content with thl plan, but whether this
would be aufficient to overcome the Plan
itself, It to not looked upon as established
with any degree of certainty, or .ven ap-
proxlmateness. In the meantime, while
closely observing the progress of the au
tonomous plan, the administration haa
adopted every precaution to guard against
any sudden emergency, such aa an upris
ing that would threaten American In
terests.
This Is not expected to occur, but If It
