As soon as the commandei of the Maine reported at the navy department he wasted no time in explaining to Captain Crowinshield, chief ot navigation. the intolerable attitude 01 the Spanish sympathizers in Havana harbor and city toward Americans, and particularly their animosity to American naval officers now at work on the wreek of the Maine. He said trouble could not be avoided much longer, and when a colusión did occur, in his opinión, the local authorities wouid be powerless to protect either the small American colony afloat or the one ashore. All day long and well into the night foul epithets, insults to the dead as wel] as to the living and taunting threats are shouted to those upon the vessels around the Maine's wreek from the numerous boats going to and fro in the harbor, and these demonstrations havt been steadily increasing for the last ten days, especially sinee the Montgomery came away, until an overt act waa liable to occur at any moment.
