Political Tremors.

NEW YORK, April A letter from Ha-
vana says that on the 10Th of March Capt
Gen. JoTellar took precautionary measures
for protecting the exchange officers, as NJ
rumors of manifestations are to be made
against these points were afioat. Word was
sent to the Spanish Admiral TO have ma
rines in readiness for landing at a moments s
notice. dOwitzers were mounted in the
bows of the launches of Spanish men-of-
war ready to be landed. Several groups Of
mem were quietlydispOsed.
The Recent Great Battle.
The letter says the accounts obtainable
of the battle of Gausimas show it was one
of the hardest contested fights that has
taken place between the Insurgents and
Spaniards. OF the wounded brought to
Havana most all received their injuries by
the macheie. They report they were over
two hours fighting at close quarters.
Brigadier Arminan, with about 5000
men, cavalry, infantry and artillery becom-
ing aware Of the massing of the Insurgents
under MaximO Gomez marched forward
and on the 18th encountered them in large
force. The attack was Immediately begun
by the Cubans. so that Arninan had bare
" time to form a square, placing his artil-
lery in the centre, the cavalry being order
ed to cut its way through the enemies
lines and procure reinforeements at Puerto
Principe.
The cavlary was fearfully cut up,very few
being left to bring the news of the critical
position of the Spanish column. These
succeeded in reaching Puerto Principe, their
pursuers close at their heels. Brigadier
Bascones, with column of 1000, started
out, but had hardly gone beyond the
suburbs of Puerto Principe before he was
attacked by the Cubans. Bascones sue
ceeded in pressing on and had another Sc
we're encounter with the insurgents, finally
uniting his column with that of Arminan.
The losses of the Spaniards has been very
severe, and it is reported that over forty Of
ficers are killed and wounded. Both sides
fought with great bravery.

SuasiOn Versus Legislation.

NEW YORK, April AT a temperance
mass meeting in Cooper Union last eve
ming under the aspices of the Sons of Tenn
perance, Rev. DIR. Cuyler spoke of the pro-
hibition laws and showed how much more
had been done through the moral suasiOn
of the women in three months in the West
than had been effected by legislation in
years. Resolutions calling upon the Leg
islature for the suppression of dram shops
throughout the State and for preventing
the sale of all spurious and intoxicating
liquors were adopted.
Is Temperance n Religion?
Rev. DR.. John Hall has published card
defending the resolutions adopted at the
Ministers meeting, and says the words
consistent and Intelligent temperance" /"
which appear in them, were not intended
to disclaim the Western movement, nor to
disclaim their motives, but were used TO
secure public cooperation against drunken
ness, no matter what might be the individ-
ual convictions of personal duty. COnsis-
tent and intelligent temperance, he says,
means such a personal attitude toward
strong drink in practice as is consistent
with good morals, with truth and with a
mans avowed opinion, and such as is de-
fensibis by Scripture and reason. 1t was
intended TO exclude rant, cant, ignorance,
dogmatism, the petty selfshness tlaat trades
on Temperance reform and the honest or
dishonest biundering which makes the ne
form religion.

Mass Meeting I'm Opposition 20 Infia-
tion.
Faneuil Hall was crowded tonight in re-
spOnse TO a call for mass meeting to pro
test against any further expansion OF the
currency. VIM. Gray presided, in his adj
dress he said Congress has failed to uphold
public faith to make provision at the earli-
est practicable period for redemption OF
Uni'ed States notes in coin, and if Con-
gress makes the proposed increase OF
legal tender issues to S4OO,OOO,OOO,
it assumes power to enlarge the
currency a: any time, aud to any
extent. A sound currency is the great de-
mand of the labor of the country upon the
Government. 1t is the great Office of the
Government to place its stamp upon the
coin of the country, alloting it 20 the wants
of commercial purposes, and it should never
issue one dollar Of paper money.
The resolutions set forth that the passage
and approval of any act to increase the IS
sue of iTredeemable paper money would be
a deliberate violation of a sacred pledge;
that the refusal of Congress to apply the
surplus revenues of the past few years to
the redemption of United States notes in
coin has continued to aggravate the evils of
uncertainty and wide fluctuations, evils
which an irredeemable currency always
bring, and has led directly to the financial
ills which il has now sought
to remedy by a fresh issue of currency.
The evils of the new issue viii fall chiefly
upon the producing sections. Imitation
also raises the price of articles of consump-
tion more rapidly than it raises wages, and
any further issue of currency would be
specially injurious TO every man depend
ent upon salary. An appeal is confidently
made to the President to veto any bill
which violates the pledge which he made
his first official act to approve; members of
Congress Fho voted for pending currency
measures are said to have assailed the credit
and good name of the country. \ resOlu-
tion was adopted providing for a committee
to cooperate with committees in other
places. to resist imitation, and promote re-
turn to specie payment.

DAYTON.
The Coming Municipal struggle

Inc NOihAhS nuhACA 1aA StEuSphcs
DAYTON, o., April 4.-Political feeling
is intense. Both parties are vigorously at
work. The whole mass Of liquor dealers,
some hundreds in number, with a supera-
bundance of money, are working with tre-
mendous energy, and are sanguine of elect
ing their whisky ticket. The Republicans,
reinforced by many of the best Democrats,
are hopeful, but not sanguine; but for
three years past the city has given small
Democratic maiorities. As the liquor men
consider their bar-rOOms in danger they
are not neglecting any points. There are
more drunken meE in town than ever be-
fore seen.
Free whisky
flows. The Republicans do not pretend to
work in saloons as every one of them are
on the Democratic side. The best impress
sion of Democrats is that they will carry
the city by several hundred-some say over
five hundred; but there will be much quiet
Democratic voting against the whisky
ticket.
