New YORK, April ia letter from
Havana, dated April 5th, says: There are
serious accounts from the interior as to the
movements OF large parties of bandits and
the government troops c." inue to come
IN. Yesterday battalion OF regular troops
was sent from Havana to Nuelta Arabia,
and for few days the coast in the neigh
borhoud of Havana has been occupied by
detschments of troops. The government
is apparently wakening up to the situation.
Private accounts from st. Domingo say the
Cuban refugees there are in possession
OF large amounts of money and are pre-
pairing for landing in Cuba in combi-
nslion with parties here. This is probably
the cause Of the extraordinary movements
uf troops. The government in spite OF all
the facts preteDds to ridicu!e all the re-
porIs of threatened invasion. News has

measure has caused the greatest indigna-

pound alarm and general discomfort pre-
vailing as the loan and contract made with
the same bank in 1880 is considered one OF
the calamitIes which brought abont the
present state of affairs By virtue of the
former loan the Banco Hispano Colonial Is

THE EDUCATIONAL BILL.
southern Senators Earnest Advocate
of the Measure.

Sc Cutnern SenntOrS EAEDeSt AutOchtes
of the Measure.
WAsRrNGToS, April 1l.-It is probable
that the Educational bill will become q
law. A strong feeling exists among the
Southern members of the House in favor
Of passing the bill as it came from the
Senate. 1t is realiz ID that in caseof amend
ment the bill would have but limited
prospect OF becoming law. 1t is siguih'
can't that iu the lengthy debates in the
Senate on the bill so many prominent
Senators from the Southern States, where
States rights ideas are still supposed to be
dominant, were found to be earnest ad'
vocates of the measure. This and the
attitude which large proportion OF the
Southern memb bership in the House bears
toward the measure show that these theor-
les will be lost sight Of where what are
looked upon as practical snd material material
benefit are weighed in the balance.
Whether this is wise policy time alone can
datermine.
