PLOT TO PLUMBER AND MURDER.
The financial condition OF the country has so
worked upon their passions that the very general
rumor was current that upon Thursday, the holiday
OF Corpus Christi and the Kings birthday, some
demonstration would take place before the Captain
Generals Palace, and demand made for the Spanish
bank to show the seven millions or gold II should
have on hand, and IN case OF any resistance being
made to them, to attack the palace OF the acting
Captain General Ceballos, who thwartcd them In
the affair OF the students ana drag him through the
streets. The exchange offices, OF which the princ-
pal one is the Polka IAN establishments here have
peculiar names), which has been supported and
backed by the bank, to be Quilted and in short
riot was to run Wild Such rumors not to be
disregarded, when emanatinp from a coterie so
capable of mischief, ana the Polka prudently sent
its specie on board the rgate zaragoza last Wednes-
day night, and the Spanish Bank followed suit.
The same night the zaragoza kept steam up, the
men sleeping on their arms; the cutters ready
to disembark three hundred OF them at u moments
notice. Nothing, however, took places the night
passed quietly, Thursday came and went peaceaby.
General Ceballos had adopted measures TO resist a
riot. A large number of the rural guard had been
quietly called to this city, and were held in readi-
ness at the barracks. The streets were patroled
all Thursday night, and number Of other precau-
tionary preparations made in case OF an emergency.
The public journals also contributed with articles
that day counselllng patience, aud occupied
columns on the money question. The President OF
the spanish Bank addressed long letter to the
public, deprecating the popular uneasiness. ex-
planning matters and tending TO aay the popular
excitement. Three million dollars in small bills, OF
the denomination OF one and three dollars VIII

rency OF fifty and ten cents as soon as the plates

STATUS THE RESURRECTION.
Notwithstanding the continued persecution OF the
insurgents IN the Central and Eastern dcpar is
and the numerous monotonous but very unreliable
reports of encounters favorable to the government
troops, the instruction Is as yet bravely holding
out, and tile patriot sympath2crs are far from being
discouraged and are confident that the struggle
has not diminished and III the prolongation OF it
do they place their lrmest hope Of ultimate sue
cess. General Maxine Gomez ana the leader Rus
