Information has been received by the
Government, from sources which leaves
little room for doubt, shows that the
Cuban insurgents are not making any
Roadway, that the Spanish army will in
a very short time put an end to the in
surrection, and that nothing remains of
the Cuban forces but detached parties
acting as guerillas. This is not the
Spanish side of the story, but the state
ment of an agent of our Government in
Cuba, who has been close observer of
affairs there. 1t is proper to say, how
ever, that the Cuban partisans in this
city deny the reports that the insur-
gents are exhausted. and assert that
the agent has informed himself only on
one side of the question, and that he
knows nothing of the resources of the
other.

LONDON, May 1.-THE Morning
Post IA conservative organ), to-day has a
leading article on the Alabama question,
and the speech of Senator Sumner i'll
the United States Senate in opposition
to that measure. The writer reviews
the relative position of the United States
and Great Britain, and asserts that the
raids and other outrages perpetrated by
American Fenians III Canada during the
past few years more than overbalance
the depredations committed by the Ala
bama ON American commerce. The
Government of Great Britain in con-
senting to submit the mutual interna-
tional grievances to arbitration, did
more than could be fairly demanded,
and to yield further would be an act of
cowardice and irreparable degradation.

Early yesterday morning, the boiler
of the steam tug Joe Baker exploded
while opposite Vanderbilt's Landing,
Staten Island. The deck and pilot
house were lifted completely from the
hull by the force of the explosion. and
carried to considerable distance from
the vessel. Fortunately, no one of the
crew was killed; Capt. Sheridan, the
engineer, James Day, and the steward,
and Charles O. Adams, were blown in
to the water and narrowly escaped
drowning. Capt. Sheridan is also seri-
ously injured. The two fremen, Mar
shall Day and Edward Van Hoesen,
who were in the engine-room at the
time, were badly scalded, butwill prob
ably recover. The injured men were
taken at once to the Seaman's Retreat,
Staten Island, by the Quarantine am.
bulance steamer Gov. Fenton, while
the hull of the Joe Baker was
towed to the city by the steam-tug
Epillson, which happened to be pass
ing at the time.
The Baker belongs to Messrs. Scatter
& O'Hara, No. 20S West street, and is
valued at $4,000. Her boiler was al
most new one, and no reason can be
assigned for the unfortunate accident.
1t will probably cost about $4,000 to
repair her. At the time of the accis
dent she was towing the brig Archer,
bound for st. Johns, N. 3.

pieces have all been selected from the
very best authors, and are even gems
culled from mine of diamonds. The

A Lively shooting Array.

About ten o'clock last Saturday even :
ing, as Jim Hicks, superintendent Of the
city railroad stables, was passing by the
corner of Beal and Second streets was
stopped by some persons sitting in front
Of the saloon kept by Mr.. Ed. Capper-
vile. He had remained there but few
minutes when bartender by the name
of Louis stepped out and asked him how
the railroad was getting along. On being
Informed " frst-rate," Louis further in
quired into the hygienic and sanitary
condition Of sold Ware" as he termed
the Superintendent Of the company,
further remarking that he would like to
go up and press gallon or SO of oil out
Of the i'd old rascal," or any man
that would be so mean as to accept en-
ploy ment under him. This aroused the
ire of Hicks, who Immediately knocked
Louis down. Capperville rushed out to
take the part of his bar-keeper, but had
no sooner got fairly engaged in the mill
before he received sockdolager from
the left mauley of Hicks, which sent him
ito grass in less than no time. Louis
in the meantime got up, ran in the
saloon, and, procuring revolver, came
out again and commenced firing at Hicks
from behind the corner. Capperville
also procured pistol and opened tri.
angular fire upon him from behind the
screen in the saloon. hicks soon placed
himself on war-footing, and blazed
away, first at one and then the other,
emptying his pistol of some three or four
charges. Capperville and Louis fred
FIVE times each, but owing probably to
the darkness, fortunately did Hicks no
bodily harm. They were all arrested
yesterday by officer Metcalf, on city
warrant, and will be before bis Honor
