Evarts learned to day that official in
formation had been received at the
German Legation. that the Govern
ment of Germany, either a~pprehensive
of the effect of the legislation by Con-
gress on the financial question, or de-
sirous to convert some OF its assets into
cash, had disposed Of 81 500 900 worth
of United States bonds, purchaser
several years ago with a portion of the
French indemnity fund. Information
of a somewhat similar character has
been received from other sources, and
it is feared that it indicates increasing
distrust abroad Of the financial future
of the American Republic.
On the same subject the Tribune
says: In New York City the effect of
the bill has been to create uneasiness
among savings bank depositors, many
of whom have Withdrawn their money.
1t is charged in Democratic circles
that the visit of Representative Leon
dtu W AuDd, W D tNIi-obb III B'B ttNi
abduction of negroes in Florida and
their transportation { o Cuba for sale as
slaves, is a mere blind to cover up his
real mission. His objective point is
alleged to be New Orleans. and his re-
ported going to Cuba is to divert sus-
picion. The story circulated to-day by
Democrats is, hat he has been sent by
the Administration on a mission To
Governor Nichols to secure the pardon
of members of the Returning Board
and that be will go directly to New
Orleans OF his arrival at Havana. This
alleged discovery is questioned in Re
publican quarters.
