News from Cuba.

HAVANA, Nov. 12-The court martial fol-
the trial Of those captured on board the Fir-
si5le dispatch. Among the crew, and disguised
as fremen, were Iguscio AIfaro, Bosa, Arcc,
Varona, Casteanos, Pineda, Mola,- Boltel and
other persons ofimportancc. Capt. Joseph Frey
was manitesly aware of the object of the ex-
petition and nature of the cargo, which be
was tempted to take charge Of by large SUN
Of money offered him, thinking that there were
ninety-nine chances in buudred OF bis landing
in safety.
1t is thought that this will be the final effort
of the insurrectionists The captain and crew
were shot by a squad Of marines in the public
square.

The Washington Chronicle says: I'm the
State, War, and Navy Departments on yester-
day the news from Cuba created unusual excite
ment and while it is not prudent to announce
the action taken by the Departments, the pub
lie can rest satisfied that, whatever the present
complications may develop, the Government of
the United States will be in condition to act
promptly and effectively. On yesterday pre-
cautionary orders were issued 10 both the War
and Navy Departments looking toward certain
preliminary preparations to guard against any
contingency"

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION Raltl-
more American Of to-day says: The hnan-
cial situation is regarded as fairly on the road
to established ease, and the commercial inter
ests already show the effect of brighter pros
poets. The danger that We now suffer is from
any sudden initiation, which will only give tenn
porary relief, and eventually produce a more
disastrous state Of affairs than We have yet
seen"
In this connection, the New York Shipping
List, standard authority on such matters,
says The general feeling in business circles
betokens confidence 10 the prospect OF the tu'
ture, and the prevailing sentiment Is, that IN
passing through the ordeal of the last sixty
days We have been making natural and sub
stantial advance towards the resumption OF
specie payment, 10 that prices OF merchandise
and general com modities are fast getting down
to gold standard. 1t is urged by the mer-
chants, with very few exceptions, that, having
reached the present condition through so much
distress, it would be better to hold on to what
we have gained and persevere until the deslr-
ed end is accomplished, rather than to seek the
temporary relief of further Issue Of currency,
the effect Of which, sooner or later, would be
to bring about a recurrence, in a worse form,
Of the very evils under which we are now sut-
fering. Having made SO costly sacrifice al:
ready, they believe that the country should
fight it out on the line of specie resumption if
the struggle lasts all winter, and they affirm
that an era of great prosperity must inevitably
follow financial reform.
There is no special change to note in the To-
cal money market.

An article 10 the Contemporary Review
states that the leading scientific societies in
England are preparing to appeal to Govern
meut to dispatch another exploring expedition
next year to the frozen region. MIR. Glad
stone was member of the Ministry which 10
1915 sent out from England the last Arctic

The Richmond Wing says: "Ev-Governor
James, of Nebraska, has been indicted fol-
theft, the charges against him being that he
appropriated $1,000 of the State funds when
Governor, and also the proceeds Of the sales of
stone from the old Insane Asylum. 1t is rath-
er singular coincidence that ex Governor
Butler, whose place he filled during lST-'72,
was impeached for theft"

1t is stated that proposition is about to be
submitted to the managers of the leading rail-
road companies which coutempates payment
of treights in kind-so many bushels of wheat

Erie, New York Central and Milwaukee and

VIRGINIA POLITICS.
Second Day Of the Conservative Con-
YentiOn at RichmOnd-The
Nominees.
Resolutions Adopted -GeneraI Kemper's
Letter Of Acceptance Received
by Telegraph.

| RICHMOND, August 7.-Colonel Robert
E. Withers, the opponent of Kemper in
! the conservative State convention for
nomination for governor, was nominated
| by scclamation for Ieutenant-governor
r. J. Daniels, Of Richmond, was nom-
| mated for Encouragement after which
a recess was taken till eight o'clock in
| the evening.
Upon the reassembling OF the conven-
| ton, resolutions were adopted declaring
that the contrast of the condition OF
| Virginia, under conservative rule, with
southern States under radical rule, de-
monstrates the necessity Of continuing
| conservatives in the control of the State
government; that the chief purpose OF
the conservatives is to secure impartial
justice to every citizen, ma
tive or adopted, white or col
ored, and to promote the prosperity
of the whole people; that the conserva-
tive party of Virginia will judge Presi-
dent Grant impartially by his official
action, and will cordially cooperate in
Every measure of his admins
tration which may be beneficent in its
design, and calculated to promote the
welfare of the people and to cultivate
sentiments Of good will between
the different sections of the Union
that the interests Of this Union, no less
than those of Virginia, demand the
speedy enlargement and completion of
the great James river and Kanawha
water line which should connect the
waters of the Ohio with those of the
Chesapeake, affording to the teeming
population of the west cheap transporta-
| ton of their products to the points of
shipment and marts of trade in the east.
The completioA by the government OF
this great design Of George Washington
would be an additional bond of uLion
between the communities whose pro-
duets and commodities would pass over
the line of this great national work;
| that for the successful establishment
and progress of the free-school sys-
tenn of Virginia they are indebted to the
wisdom of a conservative State govern
ment, and that liberal provisions ought
! to be continued for the support and
extension of free schools for the white
and colored races respectively.
The following telegram from General
KempeR was received by Hon. Thomas
Bocock: al accept the nomination with
profound sense of its Just responsible
ties, and without fear Of defeat. Let ali
true ViTginians stand together for the
sake of Virginia
The convention adjourned sine die,
and was resolved into a msss-meeting to
allow the most prominent speakers to
address the assemblage.
