THE CALLED 500 BONDS.
| The interest on the called fyc-twenty bonds,
being the balance of the frs series of the issue
| of 1862, ceases to-day. The payments upon the
new five per cents come in with unexpected
promptness. The coin needed for the payment
OF the six per cents is already provided. 1t is
| not anticipated, however, that very large pro-
| portion Of coin will be required for the re-
| dempton of one hundred millions Of six per
| cents. Eight millions Of gold have been paid
| on account of cash redemptions, which amount
| covers all the bonds presented for cash payment
| on both foreign and domestic accounts. The
most of the one hundred millions Of fiye-twenties
| called in for Dec. 1, have been taken up by the
American and European syndicate. These will
he used in settlement for the new fyes. 1t is
| therefore improbable that a very large amount
of additional gold will be required to close the
| transaction.
OUR RELATIONS WITH SPAIN.
There was no mention at the cabinet meeting
to-day concerning events at Havana, nor has
| any intelligence been received from that quarter
1t was said this afternoon, by a gentleman
| prominently connected with the administration
that we have no quarrel with the Spanish au
thOrities. The return of the north Atlantic
squadron TO Cuban waters was from prudential
| considerations only.
The government will hereafter, and until a
better condition of things in Cuba, keep strong
| naval armament in Cuban waters, While this
will have no hostile significance it is designed
to be an ntimati0n to Spain that, if that power
is so weak as to be unable to secure peace and
good order on the island in case of instruction
or other grave public disturbances, the feet will
| be used for the protection Of American citizens
and interests, if need be, to the full extent of the
power of the government.
| NAUAL.
The annual report of the secretary of the navy
will recommend liberal appropriations by con-
grcSs, last years being insufficient, not more
than thirty or forty vessels being now aaoat out
OF one hundred on the list, exclusive Of fifty
iron-clads, nearly all Of which are laid up.
POSTAL
The postmaster general, this afternoon began
| sending to distant points copies of his annual
| report, not to be printed in advance of its de-
| livery to congress. He will again recommend
| the abolition of the franking privilege, and ask
| legislation to relieve the department from the
| delay and embarrassment of readvertising pro-
| posals for carrying mails in cases where there
has been deception and failures by straw bids
and to make provision for giving contracts to
| the lowest responsible bidders. Its probable,
| from present indications, that the presidents
message will be sent to congress Monday.
