ANOTHER PROBABLE MURDER.

assault. terminating in the death of the victim.
Thus 1t is not matter OF surprise. however much 1t
may be deprecated, that one such incident of this
nature occurred last night nor is it at all that the
circumstances attending it should be Of the most
brutal character Michael Lannon and James
Leonard are brothers in-law, being married to sis

tenement house No. $40 West Thrty-sixth street,

the people believe that he viii raise money in Eng

100000 and Will give So OOO, 900 bonds therefor,
to be paid with the proceeds Of the Alta Vela guano
and the coal mines of SANTANA when they will be
worked; but 1t is most remarkable thing that the
Bolettn Odcia{-the Baez government organ-does
not say word about the transaction, not so much
as TO notice the report. The Boietfn is also silent
about the a1airs Of the country and does not say Il
word OF the whereabouts OF the revolutionary
general.
There are in circulation counterfeit Spanish gold
coins 1t IS said that they have been introduced in
the island by a wen known Curacao capitalist from

BaeZ.

boat, sent TO St. Thomas without allowing him
even to take leave OF mis- family. General Reyes,
Mr.. Fras and Others are in prison.
Baez sent column under General Caminero after
General Manzueta, but could not find him and came
back with only half the number of troops; the other
half probably found General Man2ueta and remained
with him. II was not the schooner CapoeIlo that
was taken by the Haytien revolutionary steamer
