in the number of prescriptions filled.

NOTICE !
Between Spaniards and Americans a
full understanding exists, and tbo utmost
good feeling Is expressed. The Cubans
openly avow hatred of Spaniards and
distrust of Americana.
Under some circumstances this condi
tion of affairs would surely result U
great disorder, but owing to the evident
desire of all elasaes to pass January 1
with as little trouble as possible Havana
is quieter than was expected.
Orders were given todsy to use the
sternest measures In repressing further
street disorders. General Brooke feels
that the safe plan is to deal harshly with
offenders, rather than risk a possible
riot of serious proportions. This courts
is mora necessary for the reason that
conspiracy ia aald to have been formed
by the Nanlgos, a band of men who are
well organized In Havana, to bring on
general rioting and thus make opportu
nity for Loling stores and dwellings.
The Second Louisiana Volunteers
mtrched up Obllspo street today to the
Prado, lolng thence to the Christina
sta' ion, from which they took cais to
to camp. They had the honor of being
the first Anuricans to cjbicu Oblnpo
sir ei, which was profui-ely decor tud.
and guv them a rare rvception. Tln-y
ortateda fius Impression, inarchlug in
excellent order. ,
It bas been ilt finitely drcidd that the
American troops will march through tie
city In celebration of the Spanish eval
uation General Brooke, with Generals
Lee and Ludlow, will review about 20,
000 men fiom the roof of the Inglaterra
Hotel. General Lee wili-march hit men
from the camp to Tedado, where they
will be hailed for lunch and a rest. They
will then march down San Lazaro street
to the Prado. .-;!.'"', '.
