CmcAoo, ILL.,, April 1l.-Republica
| primaries were held In this city this
afternoon 10 elect delegates TO nominate
| Congressman In the First, Second and
Fourth Districts, and TO elect delegates
in all fouf Of tho districts TO tho District
Convention to elect delegates to the
National Convention. The issue in all
four districts was clearly defined as
between the adherents and opposcrs
Of Senator Logan for the Presidential
nomination and the choice Of del
ogstes to the District Conventions.
1hs balloting was characterized by an
unusual amount of turbulence. The
struggle in the Third Congressional Dis.
trict was particularly excited and many
personal encounters and several free
fights resulted. but as the only weapons
used were fists, no serious Consequences
followed. Tho result of 1t all was O d.
vided victory. The First District chose
eighty delegates to the Congressional
convention, forty Of whom are for Logan
and forty against. An exciting time is
anticipated when the convention meets
tomorrow TO choose delegates to the
National Convention. In the Second
District the Logan and anti.Logan man.
ayers ogroed to disagree and held two
sets OF primaries and will send two sets
OF delegates 10 the National Convention.
In the Third District the anti Logan del.
egates were chosen and In the Fourth
those in favor OF Logan.

serious Situation of Afairs In
Cuba.
New YoRK, April ia letter from
Havana, datod April 5th, says: "There
are serious accounts from the interior as
to the movements of large parties of BAN
dts. Government troops continue to
come in. Yesterday a battalion of reg
| ular troops was sent from Havana to
Vuelta Arriba and for few days the
coast neighborhood Of Havana was occu-
pied by detachm6nts of troops. The
government is apparently waking up to
| the situation. Private accounts from
st. Domingo say the Cuban refugees
there are in possession of large amounts
| Of money and are preparing for landing in
Cuba, in combination with parties here.
This will probably cause extraordinary
Movements of troops. The government,
| in spite of all these facts, pretends to
ridicule all reports of the threatened in
vasion. Nows has reached this city that
tho Minister for the colonies has made
new loan of 5000, 900 with the Hispano-
Colonial Bank, Of Barcelona, for account
OF the Cuban treasury. The Cuban
treasury will pay one per cent. commis.
sion on the loan and interest Of 81 per cent
| per annum. This MEASURE has caused
tho greatest indignation here, and, added
to the state Of profound alarm and gen.
eral discomfort prevailing, as the loan
and contract made with the same bank
in 1880 is considered one of the calami-
ties which brought about tho present
state of affairs. The bank is already re-
ceiving $33. 900 yearly from the income
of the Cuban custom houses and the
present loan adds $23, 500 yearly A
perfect panic is reigning in the markets
and the merchants, in order to sell their
drafts, have to submit to large loss on
current rates.
Indiana In Favor or Blaine.
INDIANAPOLIS, April 1.-THE Repub-
licans held Convention Of all the Con-
gressonal districts of the State to-day,

choice, Blaine leads and his name always
goes with Lincoln for Vice-Presidont
Stanton j. Peele was renominata1 for
| Congress in the Seventh District, and
Gen. Thomas NJ. Brown In the Sixth
district. A State Convention to select
four delegates at large will be held in
this city on the 18th.
