says the Chief Of the Secret Service Dr.
vision, H. G. Whitley, has resigned, and
that the impression prevails that Whitley
acted under instructions from some one
authorized to direct him. This Secre-
tary Bristow will ascertain without re-
gard to whom it may implicate.
A Havana letter OF recent date says the
Cubans report that convoy OF 400 men,
together with 40 cars of provisions, have
been captured by the Cubans in the juris-
diction of Santiago de Cuba.
The Spanish army numbers GO, 900
men, and of this number AZ, 900 are sup
posed to be guarding cultivated dis
tricts, 10000 on the sick list and else
where, and 10, 900 engaged in active pur-
suit of the enemy. These 10000 men, it
is said. are not sufficient to pursue 5000
or 5000 men well acquainted with the
country.
The resignation Of Postmaster General
Cresswell has started the usual rumors
of other changes in the Cabinet. The
latest story is to the effect that Attorney
General Williams will soon discover that
his private business is suffering from q
lack OF personal attention, and there
upon will proceed to tender his resigna-
ton. The announcement that he had
accepted the offer Of Postmaster General
was Premature. There is no doubt OF
his willingness and desire to accept, but
the severe labors OF the recent long SEES.
sion have left him very much worn out
and in poor health. Under these cir.
cumstances he feels that he impertively
needs six weeks or two months relaxa-
ton, and that he would not be justified
IN accepting the position, unless an ar.
rangemeut could be made by which ht
can have the rest his condition requires
1t is believed that it will be satisfactorily
arranged and that he will then take the
Office.
