SAID TO BE A MERE CHIMERA

THE PEACE SAID TO BE MERE CHIMERA.
NEW YORK, March 9.-The Havana mail
| brought yesterday further particulars OF the
| reported peace in Cuba. A letter from a
| Spaniard in Havana to friend in this city
saws "The peace in Cuba is mere Chi
| mera. Commerce is almost at standstlli,
| and the taxes swallow everything we can
earn. Credit has been greatly impaired, and,
to crown all, the smallpox is rapidly
spreading. Mr.. Quinters had letter from
Santiago de Cuba in which the writer states
that General Macco, in the Eastern Depart
ment, was duly Informed of the submis-
sion OF several chiefs. He and Miguel Santa
Cruz, Pocheco, and Moncado did not recog-
nize the action OF the Central Committee in
| Camagney, and assert that the Eastern De-
partment was not consulted. The Cuban
peace commission itself is divided, Maxine
| Gomez being in the Spanish camp, and
Rodriguez and Calloso with the insurgents. "
The letter adds that there is great discon.
tent among the Spaniards, and hostilities
have been resumed, and concludes with an
appeal for aid for patriots who are Still III
the field.
Another letter states that Vincente Garcia
had Joined Macco.
| Mr. de Luna has received information
that Colonel Sportune, formerly President
al interim Of Cuba, said the secret condi-
lions of peace would be found accepta-
BILE to the Cubans when published.
The insurgents Of the Central Depart
ment had to surrender on account OF want
OF ammunition and means to prolong the
war.
! "A Cuban chief wrote to BIZ. de Luna that
pressure was brought to bear upon the Cen.
trail Committee TO sign the peace conditions.
Vincente Garcia. Franceso GARNER Ces-
pedes, and Maxine Gomez did not accept
terms OF surrender. The first-named re-
NAMED at;the head OF his forces in Tremas;
the second marched to the East with bis
confedentes; while the third proposed TO
accompany Rodriguez and Calloso 10 Macco
to communicate TO him the result of the
sneaca nepOfiatfons ESE5s -. "a

CONDITION OF THE MARKET

CONDITION OF TIE MARKETS.
LIVERPOOL, March 9.--The statement in
leading grain circular telegraphed hence
Yesterday that at the market here yesterday
sellers OF wheat were willing to concede a
decline of one to two shilings per GENITAL
should have been one to two pence per
GENITAL.
LONDON, March 9.-Some few Of the Min
cling Lane markets have been rather steadier
during the last few days, but generally a
want OF confidence is still prevalent. The
conclusion of peace has not led to extended
transactions.
The Economist says Discount rates are
practically without action. The position Of
the Bank Of England is such as may neces-
state sharp advance at any moment.
Recovery of political confidence has exer-
cised q powerful influence on the Stock
Exchange. The upward movement has
been important in every department. The
firmness OF money has, however. checked
speculation. A partial rise is cabed in
nearly all United States investments,
partly on account Of the improved tone
generally, but more especially attributable
to the hope that the silver bill will remain,
for some time at any rate, imperative. The
rise in United States governments was
hastened on Wednesday on statement cir
cuIated that the Treasury would continue
for the present to pay the coupons in gold,
and that New York bankers would proba-
bly, take some joint action with respect 10
the dlscredlt the measure involved. A re-
action of one quarter to three eighths per
cent. occurred in United States govern
ments on Friday"
