Havana, April 20, 8 a, in. Quiet pre
vails here; the weather Is warm and
tho war preparations continue.
The Union Constitutional, In an edi
torial today, commenting upon the res
olutions adopted by the congress of the
United States, snys: "Intervention
means war for Spain, hut It Is easier to
vote than to execute. Ho far, Spain
has treated the United States with
contempt. Now sh will kick her nnd
use the whip."
Many residents of Havana do not
believe war Is Imminent, though,
doubtless, they would like to think so.
'The full details of tho diplomatic ne
gotiations have not yet arrived to form
n basis of definite judgment. Hut it is
nafe to say that as soon as the full
situation Is ascertained from Washing
ton, this, together with the bolllciMe
nnd patriotic reply from Spain, will
provoke the whole royal population to
great Indignation and desire for war.
They are convinced that victory over
the Americans Is assured.
The jiress of the entire Island at
tacks the "Jingoes" and the "sensation
al American press," especially singling
out General J,ee as responsible for the
destruction of the harvests and plan
tations In Cuba, for the prolongation
of the war, the shedding of blood In
the present campaign and the blood
that Is to be shed In the conflict that
is coming. All tho articles are written
nt high tension nnd are full of belli
cose ardor. Tho writers recall the his
tory of Spain, and particularly the
diplomatic victory over Prince lils
inarck In the Carolines. The Spanish
uiQ easily excited to enthusiasm at
the prospect, placed before them by
these Inflammatory articles, of adding
to their country's glories a triumph
over the powerful American people.
They take It as an insult if American
superiority in suggested even in a
Joke.
DOWN ON TI1K YANKHKS.
Sonor Hamuli Galban, a leading mer
chant, said In the presence of this cor
respondent: "I wis.li there" were war
tomorrow, and I would give my life to
tee a victory over the Yankees." Oth
ers say, for instance: "The Yankees
will not take Havana, but If they
should they will only find It in ruins."
Some emphatically declare that they
would prefer to blow up their own
houses rather than have them tuken
by Amei leans.
Kxchango is still falling. Provisions
are rising in price, although still abun
dant. There is great activity in the
military centres, and great enthusiasm
In carrying on the weik of completing
the defenses. The generals come nnd
V after conferences with General
Blanco. Kverythlng indicates the be
ginning of tho end.
Kl Comerclo advises that the cloth
ing received for the reconcentrados by
the steamship Bergen should be burned.
Three British subjects, who were de
tained in Cabanas Fortress under sus
picion of taking notes as to the fortl
tications, have been released on the re
quest of Mr. Gollan, the British consul
general.
THE HOODLUMS OUT.

ins piinnml at New Yorl;.
New York. April 20. Tlieie was a
large crowd on the pier when the
steamer Panama sailed for Havana to
day with Spaniards aboard and a hos

Opprobrious epithets were flung at
the departing vessel. The captain nnd
crew who were on eck were cursed in
oiies raised to the highest pitch.
"Kill them!" "Kill them!" "Hurrah
for Cuba!" "Down with Spain!" were
some of the cries heard.
Hissing and list-shaking continued
until the Panama was well out In the
river. Tlieie was not a sound heard
from her deck in reply. The sailors
who were storing away a hawser on thi
nner deck stopped their work momen
tarily, now and again, to look upon
their enemies ashore and scowled defi
antly. EL C0RRGO BRACES UP.
l'rorcs to Its Own Siilieliiotioii That
Spain II ii h ,1 it i) y Advantage.
Havana, April 20. Kl Correo in its
editorial today proves to its satisfac
tion that Spain will have many ad
v amuses over the United States in the
actual conflict, even though .she loses
on the maine issue. In an article end
ued "the ultimatum" It snys:
"After four years it is a discovery
to ascertain that Spain's bitterest one
my Is not In the fields of Cuba, hut
in the neighboring republic, whence
c uines all the help given to the rebels.
McKlnley's daring ultimatum will socn

Someone has said, "Style is the
dress of thought." Do you realize
when one visits your home how
the furnishings tell the character of
the occupant? In one home you
will find ordinary inoffensive styles,
that's the "thoughless" buyer. In
another hideous colors and won
derful designs. That's the "care
less" buyer. In another dainty,
graceful designs, harmonious col
ors, the work of artistic people.
Which will you choose ?
