NEW YoRK, August "A Havana
correspondent gives the details OF
more executions, skirmishes and con-
fscation. The fight still goes on IN
the mountains, but the yellow fever
and cholera are doing the Spanish b
army more harm than the Cubans.
The Spanish gunboats are closely
watching the coast for the steamer
SaIvoncer, which it is reported recent
ly left this port with arms,ammunition
and men.
The morning papers give a fearful
record of murders, homicides and
deadly assaults, with bullet, knife.
bayonet and axe.
While the police are searching for
Nathan's murderer, many other muir
ders, nearly as revolving, have been
committed. Notwithstanding the In
dignation expressed by papers and
Jews at the Sunday Mercury for
charging Washin gton Nathan with
numbering his father, the Herald,
this morning, publishes nearly two
CO1umuSs SlIOuB1y tniut1uB SOmS 4dStS,
and says every detective believes that
member or employee of the family
committed TIE murder. They ground
their suspicious on the facts, first,
that be was the last person to see Mr..
Nathan active, and the first to dis
cover the murder. Second, that he
had blood on his clothing, and that
there is no evidence about the prem
ises that the murderer, whose feet
must have been dyed In blood, had
left the house: Third, that with the
aid OF Nathan's memorandum of COM
blnatlon, the son was able to open
the safe on Broad Street, and secure
the will of his father. A workman at
the house says he has seen the iron
dog In Nathan's stable for the last
eighteen months.

fairly springing into importance as a
commercial and railroad city, and is
increasing In population with wonder
ful rapidity, on account of the public
spirit Of her citizens. That city has
voted 100000 to the Evansville,
Henderson & Nashville Railroad,
$3.50, 900 to the Evansville, Carmi &
Paducah Road. and $300.0 600 to the
Straight Line Road, besides a heavy
subsidy to the Evansville & Craw

tell wonderfully for her prosperity.
The people there know how to build
up city, and act upon their knowl

SOME ten-days ago Prince Napoleon
went on a special mission to CoDen-
hagen, and when he returned to Paris
it was reported that Denmark had
formed an alliance with France
against Prussia. But four or FIVE
days ago the Prince of Wales went
also on a mission to Copenhagen,
where he saw his father-in-la King
Christian, and now it appears that
Denmark has proclaimed her neutral
ity 10 the war between France aud
Prussia. Probably Prince Napoleon
showed King William that if be took
sides with France, he would regain

Prince OF Wales showed him that if
