A DENIAL OF THE RuAroRs OF INTERFERENCE
THE REVOLUTION ON THE wANE-ARRIyAL OF
voLUETEERs-MoRE MURDERS.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-To-day's Republican
has the following:
"a member of Grants Cabinet authorizes
the statement that the President never con-
templated calling an extra session Of Congress
to consider the Cuban question, nor has the
government received any official information
that an expedition has gone, or is being fitted
out in aid Of the Cuban reyolutionists. Plumbs
instructions are not yet prepared, nor has that
gentleman given the slightest grounds for the
absurd rumors afoat as to what he intends
to do when he reaches Cuba as United
State Consult General. Further than that
the most recent official information from
United States civil and naval offers in Cuba,
and the adjacent waters, agree on asserting
that The revolutionary movement is diminish
ing in Importance, and that compromise may
be effected. The sensational rumors recently
published are calculated to advance the inter
ests Of the Cuban revolution, and were put in
circulation by Cubans, who hoped thus to cre-
ate capital for their cause.
HAVANA, april 1.-THE Catalonian volunteers
were enthusiastically receiver. Two negroes,
who we're spectators OF the procession shouted

"A surgeon of tue British army, who has
been investigating the causes OF the great
prevalence of heart disease among English
soldiers, states that it is due to the mechanical
distractions to the proper flow OF the blood
through the arteries leading from the heart,

observation has shown me that any simpering
girl can wheedio more fayors from her supe-
riors by one shake OF her curls than a consci-
entious man could obtain by years diligent

But every one in Washington knows that the
rule is, if clerks are absent from their desks,
except when on leave, corresponding deduc-
ton is made from their pay. A married lady
