THE YELLOW FEVER AT HAvANA.-A
dispatch has been received at the Navy de
partment from Consul general Hall at Ha
vana to the effect that the reports i'm regard
TO the prevalence of the yellow fever at that
port have been greatly exaggerated. He says
that there are altogether about thirty cases
in and around the city, and they are not or
violent character. No appreuensionS are en-
tertained as to the general health of the
native population, but it is feared that the
troops now on their way from Spain TO aid
in the suppression OF the rebellion will, to a
greater or less extent, suffer from the dis
ease, owing to their not being acclimatei and
the approach OF the hot season.
A GOLD SPECULATION CANARD RE-
NEwED.-Inasmuch as the retirement of
Treasurer Spinner will necessitato the count
ing of all the gold in the Treasury, the old
rumOr of 4 ten-mlllion deficit is being again
circulated. 1t will be remembered that
about a year ago it was charged in New York
city that the deficit was then an actual fact.
and at the time the statement a ttracted more
than passing notice, until it was authorita-
lively denied upon the assertion Of the then
Secretary of the Treasury Judge Richardson.
There are indications that the gold clique in
New York propose TO use this ruInor again
10 aid them in keeping the price of gold at is
present figure. The polic.' of the operators
seems To be to again get such q rumOr tele-
graphed to some of the daily New York
papers. as II was a year since, as a fact. The
effect of this would be to cause temporary
dlstruSt, ard accrue to .he pccEuary adj
vantage OF those circulating the untruth.
