between four and eight thousand Jews were
massacred.
On Friday last, Mr. Myerstein, President
of the Hebrew Benevolent Society of this
city, telegraphed to NJ Ad Cremieux,
as follows:

The Upton Expedition.
Col. 10. Warren, of the Cuban army, left
Puerto Principe on the 25th of May, and
arrived here to-day. He does not credit
the story of the capture Of the steamer
Upton, for the reason that at the point
where she is said to have been captured the
Cubans have always large force, quite
sufficient to repulse or capture the $50
Spanish soldiers who are said to have taken
the expedition, aided by two Spanish gun
boats. He states further, that the patriots
we're fighting away, and that Col. VIM. A.
Ryan had killed eight Spaniards with his
sword few days before. But fifteen or
sixteen of the Americans who joined the
Cuban army remain, the rest having either
been killed or have returned to the United
States
An Army of AmazOns.
At meeting of the Cuban ladies held
this afternoon, Mrs. Villaverbe proposed
that the ladies practice shooting at a mark
in order to become acquainted with the
use of firearms. After she has sufficiently
drilled her recruits, if she cannot induce
the Cuban gentlemen, whom she saw
promenading Broadway and writing let
tiers to the papers, to go to Cuba and fight,
she will lead her army of amazons there
and drive every Spaniard off the Island.
Reported Attempts at Bribery.

special from Washington, giving what pur-
ports to be evidence obtained by the sub
committee of the House, Of which Mr..
Butler is chairman, bearing upon the
alleged attempt made by Cuban agents to
bride Senators, Representatives and cor
respondents of leading newspapers. The
report of the committee, when submitted,
will, according to this correspondent,
make some startling developments. Sew

placed at the disposal Of certain persons

in the neutrality laws, and other matters
affecting Cuban interests. The Post esti-

of Cincinnati, occupy In the Cincinnati
Enquirer in one day more advertising
space than d0 the merchants of Nashville
occupy in both the daily papers here. The
advertising of that firm for one day In all
the Cincinnati papers costs more than the
advertising of all the merchants of Nash

is expected to grow as rapidly as other
cities. If orr merchants, manufacturers,
real estate agents, insurance companies,

violating the law, constable Price was as

and ready to shoot at the laws agent with
an unugually big pistol. The constable,
however, succeeded in arresting and dis
arming the excited party, who was subse-
quently arraigned before Justice Mathews,
on the charge of resisting an officer. The
good character of the accused and the in
ference that he had acted without full

no punishment, beyond the payment Of

The Contested Election Leak.
Mr. Dawes favored the principle of the

the contest is decided Within twelve years
$179, 900 had been paid persons who had
no right to dollar of public money, and
the present Congress had paid $50, 900
more, besides having to appoint five diff
ferent committees on contested seats.
The bill authorizing terms of the United

passed.
The bill regulating the payment of MEM

Mr. Willard favored paying only the mem

The House then proceeded to the con-
sideration of the bill reported by Mr.. Gar
field, from the Committee on Banking, to
increase banking facilities, and for other
purposes,
Mr. Garfield addressed the House in ex-
PLANTATION of and adverse to the bill and
discussing the general subject of the
distinction between coin and paper money.
He quoted from Robert Patterson, of Scot
land, and to show that the paper circulation
of the United Kingdom has been practically
stationary for twenty-five years, and that
the wealth and trade of the kingdom had
quadrupled. In that time the principal
instrument of the British trade was the
check or''draft on the bank-not . per cent
of the business being transacted III coin or
paper money, 80 per cent being transacted
through the banks in drafts, bills and
transfers of credit.
This remarkable fact showed the bank
was to-day the great mechanism for facilitat-
ing trade rather than coin or notes He
believed the first great want of the country
was sound currency exchangeable on pres
entation, and beyond this he would
say that the second great want of the
country was increased facilities for making
exchanges, whether in form of paper notes
or banking credits; that was the great and
pressing demand of the hour. He replied
to the argument as to the distribution of
currency, that no matter how it was dis
tributed it would flow in channels regulated
by the laws of trade, and could not be
regulated by any absolute provisions OF the
statute law. He continued at length in
advocacy of the merits of the bill and reply
to the objections made thereto, but was
opposed to the bill in all its parts.
Mr.. Morgan made an argument again st
the bill, and called on the Southern and
Western members to combine against the
Eastern bondholders and defeat this bill.
The House took recess till evening to
debate the currency bill
