KEY WEST, December 2o.-Ihe torpedo
boat Pinta left Key West last night tor Ia
yana on trip of observation. The Kansas,
Commander Reed, has arrived here, four
DAYS from Santiago de Cuba. The Canaan
daigua arrived at Santiago on Friday, l9th
December, two days before the Kansas left
All are well on the Kansas and Canandaigua.
The steamer San Antoni, from Galveston
to New York, reports remarkably rough
weather on the Gulf,
Lieutenant VIM, commanding the Paw
nee, denies that there is any dangerous fever
on that ship. The mortality is small con-
sidering the large number of recruits on
board from New Orleans.
There is no yellow-fever in this vicinity.
A gale from the northward has prevailed
at Key West, during which the Dispatch and
Mayfower dragged their anchors, but after
drifting around the harbor were finally
secured.
1t is reported by both the Kansas ard
Pinta that Ralph Keeler, special rrespond-
ent of the New York Tribune, left Santiago
de Cuba on a steamer for Batasano about ten
DAYS AGO. At ManZanil!o he was missing,
though his baggage was still on board. Not
having been heard from on the 2lSt, It Is
feared some serious accident has befalcn
him.
All was quiet at Santiago de Cuba when
the Kansas left.

PHILADELPHIA, December 26.-Chrlstmas
was generally observed here, and there was
no dimipution in the amount of money
spent, notwiths landing the recent troubles
Most of the Gotten a nd WOOL factories are
in full operation at reduced wages.
The carpet manufactures, with but very
few exceptions, are all closed, owing prln-
cipally to u difference between the weavers
and manufacturers, caused by the latter
making reduction in the price of weaving
of two cents per yard. The manufacturers
as q general thing say that the price Of car
nets has been reduced so much, and sales are
also so slow, that they are not very anxious
to start up, even if the men would agree to
work at the proposed reduction.
