Everyt.iing Quietatthe Cuban Capital. TROOPS ARE STILL IN HAVANA, All the Late Cuban News Condensed, Havana, via Key West, Jan. 21. The rioters are now -quiet, with the exception of a dynamite bomb ex ploded in the Piazza de Colon on Sat urday which did no harm. The rumors that the volunteers would revolt against the government have had no foundation. Nevertheless, several generals arrived here from Matanzas province and frcm Havana province with additional reinforcements. About 15,000 men are now located within the city limits and in the out skirts. The insurgents, in full view of the town of Cabanas, province of Pinar del Rio, carried off a number of oxen and boldly challenged the garrison to come outside and light. Cosme Blanco has not drilled his regiment, the fifth regiment of volun teers, since the riots, for fear his men would hiss him because of his offer to General Blanco to face the rioters without a special call to the palace. Licutenaut Calderon, of the fifth battalion volunteers, has tendered his resignation, as a protest against the shouts at the palace against General Blanco and autonomy. The total losses during the seize at Camp Echuclin, In Manzanillo dis trict, was 30 killed and 60 wounded. The insurgent Leader Lunah has at tacked Santa Cruz del Norte, province of Pinar del Rio. Upon the body of Captain Puga, military commander at Rlncon, this province, was found a letter signed by Puga, offering to Insurgent Leader Hernandez $22,000 and free passage to the United States If he would surren der with CO armed followers. Another letter answering the above was found addressed to him, saying that If he continued his attempts to corrurt the insurgents he would be court-martialed and shot If captured. As Puga could not Induce Leader nernandez to surrender, he began negotiations withXeader Juan Delgado through the latter's father, Hernandez hay ing learned of this, captured and shot Captain Puga without allowing him to communicate with Delgado. When this was known a Spanish force sailed out and secured the body. The Insurgents have raided Jaruco, in Havana province, and without flr Ing a shot carried away the horses of the Spanish cavalry squadron, whose members fled at the sight of the in surgents and took shelter In the cav alry headquarters. The Spaniards will be court-martialed. During the riot at Havana, General Blanco made preparations for the worst and concentrated vast numbers of troops at Havana. In Cuba street and on the artillery wharf, batteries of field artillery were planted in posi tion to rake the street. All public buildings along the harbor front from Plaza d'Arraes to the Punta were crammed with troops,and large bodies ofcavairyand infantry were held 1c reserve in the streets adjacent to Cen tral Park. It is estimated that;i2,000 troops in the city in addition to the regular garrison. Last night the reflection of large fires in caneiields in the direction of Guanabacoa was elearly noticeable here. Setior Mario Gracia, governor of the province of Santa Clara, lias gone to Remediosto await, it is said, the surrender of an insurgent leader whose name is not given. It Is not true that the conservative municipality of Clenfuegos has de faulted in the sum of 8140,000. The making of this charge is only a politi cal move to enable the government to suspend the municipal authorities and to appoint autonomists. The money in question was invested in hospitals and In defense of the city. The members of the cabinet will is sue a manifesto explaining "the sal ient points of the scheme of autonomy and its advantages over independ ence," together with an appeal to tho insurgents to surrender. When Senor Govin, minister of tho interior, landed here last Saturday, he hastened through the rear entrance of the custom-house In order to avoid being hissed by the crowd. After dynamiting the passenger train near Dargame, province of Pinar del Rio, and destroying the engine, as already cabled, the Insurgents at tacked the train, killing one passen ger, a negro, wounding five of the train escort, and wounding or other wise injuring 25 passengers. An expedition landed Monday night near Trinidad, on tho south coast. The report that 200 insurgents from Matanzas have entered this province near Carenaga de Guananion, Is con tinued, ns well as the report that ,the insurgent Brigadier Betancnttrt. with 300 men from Matanzas, has) passed near San Nicolas. The insurgents under Leader Au gustine Cervantes entered Sah Anto nio de' los Banos and plundered a store in the outskirts of the town. Two hundred Insurgenti 'entered Collsc", this province, and plunderea several stores. The address to th6 queen regent, signed by Sennr Romero Robledo and others, is a mild-toned docuuicnt, dis claiming responsibility for the "In fraction or the constitution uy the government's unprecedented action in changing the government of the Antilles without tho co-operation of the cortes." The signers declare that they arc aware of the dltlicultles sur rounding the government, but con sider it their duty to demand that the cortes be summoned. Preparing for Tiouble. Washington, Jan, 21. Up to the present it has been strenuously denied that the United Mates has been mak ing any unusual preparations for trouble with Spain, but the officials have ceased to deceive themselves. It can be accepted as true that sev eral ships, in addition to those com posing the North Atlantic squadron, are to bo held In places where they will be easily reached by telegraph. It has been asserted that the com merce doitroycr Columbia, now laid up In the ordinary at League Island, will be put in condition to insure her departure on a week's notice. Three other ships are in re serve on the Atlantic cc ast, the MIn -ncapolls and Miantomah, both at League Island, and the monitor Puri tan, at Norfolk, can take water in less time than the Columbia. The gunboat Helena has been or dered to Lisbon from Gibralter. In stead of continuing her course to the Asiatic squadron, she will remain at Lisbon until further orders. The cruiser Cincinnati arrived at Buenos Ayres, yesterday, on her way to Ulo, where she will be clocked, and the gunboat Castino lias been ordered to proceed from Montevideo to Ise Grande, near Rio. The orders to both these were is sued to bring them nearer tp the United States in preparation for a quick summons to return home. There Is the 'best of authority for the statement that the orders to these ships are the result of the serious aspect of the Cuban situa situation. The Spanish minister nnade plain his concern during a long call on the assistant secretary of state this morn ing. He intimated that It would be well for both the interests of Spain and the United States if no signifi cant naval movements occurred at this time, nis great fear is that the Spanisli people may do something rash if they get the idea that this country is making unusual preparations. He Is concerned over tho personal position of Minister Woodford, be lieving that demonstrations against the United States may occur in Mad rid, and the popular enmity against Americans may be vented on the United States legation.

Chicago, Jan. 21. Alaska rates aro proving a source of trouble to the Western roads, and U. Is likely a meeting of all roads will bn culled In the near future to consider them. The chief trouble now Is the purchasers of tickets to t-'eattlo cannot be assured of any definite date of sailing for Alaska on account of the crowded cjnJItlon of the steamers and tho few boats that are available for the tratllc, One of tho western roads, which sold Several tickets for Alasica, in formed the purchasers that a boat would sail ona certain day and that they would have no trouble In se curing passage. When the party readied the coast they found it im posslbc for them to get on the boat, us all available space was taken long befoie their arrival. Tho road was then compelled to keep them in Seattle until tho sailing of another steamer, a proceeding that proved very exnenslvo to tho road. The roads will try to niako definito arrangements with tho steamship companies for tho care of me passengers tticy bring to scattio and, falling in this, they will sell tickets to the Pacific coast ports without any stipulation as to the sail ing of tho boats.

Orders have been received at Esqulmalt by Rear Admiral Pallister from the admiralty. Instructing him to have every vessel in the fleet ready to start for China on 24 hours notice. Immediately all was bustle around the dockyards, tho crew of the different yescls being busily engaged rcshlng coal and pro visions on board. Then. came an order for her majesty's ship Pheasant to start on her trip across tho Pad lie today, sue being nearer ready than the others. By tonight she will be well out to sea. Later Instructions were received for II. M. S. Impcriuso, tho flagship of the station, to proceed to tho scene of activity. She will sail Saturday. It Is not known whether Admiral Palllscr will accompany her. It is not likely us the conditions in the Orient reach a climax that the other vessels hero will bo ordered there. The Icarlus Is only a small vessel and tho Phaeton and Leander, having Just completed a long voyage, are in need of some repairs. The Leander is already in thedrydock. It Is not known Just where II.
