The Lid,fo is evidently not well informed

entirely Of Americans,

vent Of the next cold weather, we can only inter-
pref the phrase everything that can be accom-

A statement was made by US some time

Havana were declined by the merchants and

STRANGE from Mr.. PuENIr the Director Of that
institution, which, at his request we publish d,
aud in which that gentleman asserted that the
notes of the Spanish Bank wore, and nad always
been, received at par in all parts Of the island.
Nv a letter published in the Didrio dc Ia Marina
OF the 10th inst, we learn that in Puerto Principe
lhese bills were received by most people at ~
to Sper cent discount; but that the Nuevitas Rail
road Company refused TO receive thcm in pay

Seeing that Puerto Principe and Nuevitas are
both in the hands OF the spaniards. and that the
railroad is guarded by 5000 Spanish soldiers this
refusal Of the railroad company To receive Spanisl
Bank notes. besides being plueky in the extreme
