c-The State Department at Washington has
received paper dated in the prison of San
tiago de Cuba, July 20, and signed by eight
Cubans, who are alleged to have been subse-
quently massacred by the troops al Jiguani.
The signers say that after being examined ON
q acharge Of treason and f6dnd innocent, they
have been informed that they are to be taken
as prisoners to Bayamo, in violation of the
law, which forbids the transfer OF prisoner
from his own Jurisdiction to another, and Of
the order of General Caballero dc Rodas, ac-
,cording to which they should, in case OF Its
being thought advisable still to hold them,
have been placed at his disposal. They do not
fear the result of fair trial, but they fear the
murderous violence of their guards on the
lonesome road to Bayamo. They ask the con-
suls of England, France, Prussia and the Uni
ted States, whom they address, to intercede
for them with the Governor, and, in case any
calamity befan the signers, to report the fact
totheIr respective governments. The paper
was fled In the archives OF the British Consul
late, and the correctness of the copy Is certi-
fed by the consular representatives OF the sew
eral nations. :. 8
"A very lively time was had at the New
Yefk Geld Room Saturday, the occasion being
Mr.. Jordan's report Of the condition of the Ex-
change Bank. His remarks were delivered IN
u vehement manner and interspersed with
curses and obscene language. The bank, ne
said. was willing to lose $500, 900 in order to
compromise the claims Of certain creditors,
ana he thought that, after such liberal offer,
the brokers ought not start q new clearing
house. Should they do so, he would consider
them s'too id mean to live" He referred
to the generosity Of the bank in advanc-
ing 100000 to the street during the re-
cent-panic, an act which, he said, saved
many firms from absolute ruin. Mr.. Jordan
thought that on "Wednesday he could
make definite statement of the affairs of the
bank, and asked that he might be granted
time. The general feeling seems to be In favor
of Mr.. Jordan, and the impression prevails to
. very great extent that if allowed to go ON
limits own way, without legal interference, he
will be able to bring the bank out of its dill
culties 4 meeting of the creditors OF the
bank was held, and o paper was drawn up, TO
the effect that those signing it would take no
legal steps towards forcing the bank Into bank
ruptcy for ten days. This was signed by all
present, and a committee Of five was appointed
to circulate it among the creditors generally
for their signatures. 1t is believed that at
least ninety-five per cent of the creditors OF
the bank will sign 1t. During the meeting it
was announced that the injunction against the
hank had been 80 modified as to allow the re-
ceiEer to collect money due the bank and to
efecs settlements in ali cases where he could
do 30 advantageous y for the bank.
