NEW YORK.
A Will street Crevassc.

NEw YORK, May 2.--Wal street this a.
ternoon suddenly lost the huoyancy of the
morning, and lower prices were made on
the stock exchange and gold room, theSe-
cline being attended with a feverish aid
unsettled feeling. The occasion Of this
marked change was break in foreign ex-
change from IOaS to 1893. The advance
in gold this morning enabled bankers to
buy a considerable amount Of bonds for
shipment, which increased the value of ex-
change, and caused some free sales Of gold
in addition TO considerable amount OF
bills drawn against other than the Govern
ment. including ESQ, 900 sterling said to
be drawn by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company on their bonds negotiated in
Europe.
The decline in exchange caused break
in gold from lI5t TO 114s, and the decline
in gold in turn, affected government bonds
and share list, which declined in sympathy.
Gold closed at 114s to 1144. The
shipments Of specie tomorrow vii
probably range from $4,000 to 100000
The break in exchange did not occur unit
most Of the gold bars were on shiPboard
or else it might have checked the ship,
ments to some extent.

CUBA.
A Batch Of Insurgent News.

New YORK May Respectable persons
well known here arrived yesterday on the
Morocastle from Nuvetas, bring important
dispatches for Gen. Jordan from the Cuban
Government 1t is said that some of these
relate to a resolution Of the Cuban Con-
eress in condemnation of certain declara-
tons made in this country by prominent
Cuban officials, and which have been the
theme Of much comment by the journals
of the insurgents in this country.
This gentleman confirms the reports
heretofore published to the effect that the
visit of DeRodas to Puerto Principe has
not been attended with good results, and
ali the columns which marched from that
city have returned with but little glory.
He states that the Cubans entered
Puerto Principe in small squads, taking
out all they desired. Insurgent Ca. Cor

municatiOn.

NhoAhACeAAhChh
LOUISVILLE, May 27.-4n the General
Assembly the Judicial Committee made
majority and minority report on the over
tune from Montgomery (Als.G Presbytery'
The overture reads as follows:
"May a member of the Church In con-
siStency with the constitutional rule, be
suspended or communicated from the
Churcn without trial for charges brought
against him, and without being brought be-
fore a court to which be is amenable, but
simply upon the report of a committee OF
the court that he had confessed to 1t that
he was guilty of crimes worthy IN their
nature of suspension and execution!
After considerable discussion, the ma
IOrity report was adopted. The majority
reported to decide that the session may
ercommnnicate such party without
literally aud rigidly going through with all
formalities.
The report of the Committee on Relief
Fund for Ministers was received and
adopted.
PrOprOsed UHiOn
Nearly the entire day was taken
nm in the discussion Of the majority and
minority report on foreign correspond
enne,
To this committee was referred uhe COll
mun;cation from the United Assembly o
tae North Presbyterian Church, In session
at Philadelphia. The majority report Ia
yors the appointment of a Comnnttee o
Conference, with instructions that the difn
,-uIties which lie in the way Of cordial cor
reanoudence between the two bodies mus
I've distinctly met and removed.
One of the resolutions Of the maJont
report say they must purge themselve
az error in regard to politics
utterances deliberately pronounced, yea
after gear, and which in our opinion was
sad betrayal of the cause and kingdom
our common Lord and head. Nor can we d
official correspondence consent to bun
the edge Of this, our testimony, concernin
the nature and mission of the church as
purely spiritual body among men.

= Gen. Jordan, lately in command of the
, insurgent forces in Cuba, has appeared
before the House Committee on Foreign
Affairs, and gave that committee the fullest
Information regarding the Cuban situaAon.
Much Of this tallies with statements of his
heretofore published, but at the same time
he impressed every member Of the COM
mittee, save one, with the knowledge that
the Cuban cause was not on its last legs,
and that it was IN a very good condition,
sustained as it was by good many thou
sand well-armed CubaRs Much of the
information filtered through Spanish
sources, Gen. Jordan pronounced to be
false.

The Lie Direct.
The Western members failed, yesterday.
in the House, to table the bill to allow all
imported material used in ship build
ing TO enter free of duty and to pay
drawback when American materials were
used. The latter feature was declared TO
he the worst form of protection. The bill
will probably pass tomorrow. There was
80 much feeling exhibited towards the
Representatives Of the opposing ship inter
est who were present in the gallery, that it
extended to the hotels last night, where a
fight occurred between Capt John Goldman
and Gen Negley, member from Pittsburgh,
the latter knocking the former down for
giving him the lie direct to a statement
that Goldman was here in the Clyde inter
est.
The Richmond POstOfEiCe.
Trouble is reported to have occurred yes
terday in the Richmond (Vs.) postofice,
resulting in the resignation Of most of the
clerks OF that Office. From the statement
made, it seems that the postmistress, Mrs.
Van Lew, is charged by the employees with
being a regular martinez, and does not
show proper judgment, they say, as to the
amount Of labor the clerks should perform,
requiring an unreasonable amount of work
and too many hours of constant attendance
to duty. Clerks have been dispatched from
the Postofice Department here to supply
the place of the strikers until an investiga-
ton can be made.

the expectant people as she repeated the
question, "Why was bornl" and again
she paused, that the due impression might
be made upon her hearers before she an
swered her own question. "Why was ]

and almost painful accents, when a wicked
boy in the gallery shouted, 81 give it up. ,
