Havana, Dec. 21.-——Samuel L. Israel
of 243 West Forty—ninth street, New
York, opened, a few days ago, a little
store on Obispo street for selling- Am—
erican flags and jewelry.
His wife Monday appealed in tears to
General Greene, saying that Israel had
been arrested and that she could not
find him. '
General Greene sent Captain Mott to
Captain General Castellanos, asking
that Israel be produced and sent to
General Greene.
In an hour an aide de camp of the
captain general brought the man to
the Hotel Inglaterra.

He had been in i
Israel says that at five o’clock in the '
afternoon a Spanish lieutenant enter-
ed his store, tore down the flags and
broke the show case with‘his sword.
Later the lieutenant sent three men,
who arrested him. He was well treat-
ed while a prisoner. ‘ 1
General Greene asked Captain Gen-
eral Castellanos to investigate the
matter, and the latter said he would
send a report to General Greene
day.
The Spanish transports Notre Dame,
with General Estruches and 953 officers
and men, and Los Andes, with 1,340
officers and men, sail-ed for Cadiz yes-
terday.
The Spanish troops yesterday began
the evacuation of the northeast part of
Havana. city. On December 22 they
will evacuate the Santa Clara and Rei-
na batteries and all the other forts
outside of the town. They will be cc—
cupied by American troops, but no
flags will be hoisted until January 1.
The Spanish sick will remain in the
Principe fort for the present, and after
January 1, if necessary.

Norfolk, Va” Dec. 21.——The United
States auxiliary cruiser Resolute,
ce’ntly ordered to Havana, arrived in
Hampton Lloads at ten o’clock yes—
terday from the League Island navy
yard.
She immediately began cenling, and
viii sa'il as quickly as possible.
The. Resolute has a number of ma—
rine guards aboard who will he landed
in Havana, should 'the local authorities.
be. unable to maintain order. It was
intended to send the Eagle and Vixen,
now here, along to drag the harbor for
mines and torpedoes, as requested by
the evacuation committee, on: the oili-
ccrs have been advised that all the
torpedoes which obstructed the ent-
rance to the Havana harbor have been
removed, so 'that these vessels have
been ordered to the W'est Indies on
coast survey work.
That this government is determined
to quell disturbances in its newly ac-
quired territory is shown by the order
received yesterday by Major W'. S.
Muse of the Marine Corps, now here.
which commands him to go at once to
re-
I-Iavana to take charge of the marines .
ordered there to preserve order. There ‘
are two hundred here who saw service :

Sn lk-usim: Confedcrulcl-z.
Washington, D. (3., Dec. 2].——The
president had scarcely returned to
\Vashington from his southern trip be—
fore the Populist senator from North
Carolina, Marion Butler, introduced in.
the Senate an amendment to the gen—
eral pension bill to pension the Con-
federate soldiers, together
widows and minor children.
The amendment stipulates that they ,
01's, etc.
are not to have back pensions.
The amendment does not meet with
favor and will not receive serious con-
sideration from the committee on pen-
sions. but it shows that the southern
members of Congress are trying to
force the president’s position taken at
Atlanta in regard to caring for the
Confederaxte dead to cover caring for
the Confederate living as well.
Senator Butler evidently desired
emphasize his amendment by introduc-
ing it simultaneous with the president's
return.
