Cuban News.
HAVANA, May 16. = The captain.
general has changed his mind and de
cided to continue in force the quaran-
tine regulations. The steamers YazOo,
Juniata, Havana, Margaret and Germa.
MIA are still detained, although there is
not a case of illness 90 board; nor is
there any proof that the cholera exists
in New Orleans, from which port all the
above named vessels sailed. 1t is pro-
I -. o.
| United States to intervene for their re-
lease, the more especially as the deten-
| ton of so large a number, crowded with
passengers, in this unhealthy bay, is
dangerous. Several cases of vOmitO are
already reported in the harbor. All the
available regular troops in Havana and
other towns have been ordered to Join
| the army in the field. It is reported
1 that the Cuban General Agramonte,
seeing that his capture was inevitable,
committed suicide, rather than fall alive
into the hands of the Spaniards.
The DrummOnd mine Disaster.
WEsrvILLE, N. S., May I6.-The
shaft at the Drummond mine was
sounded this morning, and the indica-
tions were that the water was rising
rapidly. 1t is the intention to cover
the shaft with timber and planking, on
which earth and other materials will be
placed, to exclude the air, so that as
soon as the fire is extinguished 1t may
be utilized for pumping out the
water from the mine. This morning
there was scarcely any smoke coming
from the shaft, but the presence of black
damp was very perceptible, fact con-
sideFed by old miners to be very favor
able, as it indicates that the fire is
rapidly decreasing, and all danger of
another explosion over. 1t is thought
that after all the shafts are filed
there. will be a sufficient quantity of ear
bolie-acid gas in the mine to eftectually
put out the fire. A deep stiffness pre-
walls in and around the neighborhOod.
Nearly all the stores in Westville are
closed. The miners at other works have
not yet resumed work. 1t is doubtful if
anything in the way of mining be done
before Monday. The president and vice.
president of the company were on the
ground to-day, but nothing has yet
transpired regarding their intention with
regard to future operations. There are
no new names to be added to the death
list.
