Mr. MorrylcBH, tho manager, says: "Tho company would not go to tho oxpenso of arming a number of men unless this was thought necessary for tho protection of its interests. Wo do not believe thoro is any immediate causo for alarm, but wo do think that the spirit of disaffection is spreading, and is likely, sooner or lator, to burst into flamo whenever tho Unitod Statos government does or refrain from doing something which tho Cuban leaders op pose or dosiro."
