Air, was driving along the road near the Rocks
of Deer Greek, he discovered that the trestle-
work on the Maryland Central Railroad, where
it crosses Mr. Silas Warmers place, near Pres

freely Leaving his horses in charge of his wife,
who was with him, he got a bucket from q

ash-pan of a locomotive that had passed over

covered.

reward of 100000 be offered for the discovery of

By half-past two the proceedings had lost all in

The Mercantile and Political Situation in
Cuba Desperate-TaIkA About Selling the
Island.


NEW YORK, June 3.-From well informed cor
respondent at Havana the following, dated May 81,
has been received
The mercantile and political situation at Havana
continues to be desperate The most liberal esti-
mates place the sugar crop at 100000 tons, which
at an average price of 51a reals per arrobe amounts
to S24,75O,o00. Estimates of expenditures for
the next fiscal year make them amount to about
S3o,oo0,000. Consequently the sum resulting
from the sale of the entire sugar crop would be
insufficient to cover the government taxation upon
the population during the first six months of the
hscal year. Imports OF wines from Spain fell of to
the extent of 49, 900 pipes or casks. The sale of
the island to the United States to Mexico is the
general topic OF conversation.
The Ell Triumfo, referring to the subject yester-
day. said that although it could not be the intention
of Spain to sell Cuba, still it significant fact
and an indication of the low point to which the
island must have sunk when its sale is discussed at
all. 1t adds that the government must be blind not
to see the danger to which the country is exposed,
whose purchase is even considered in other c0un-
tries. For this article the paper was denounced by
the authorities to the Tribunal.
In view of anticipated attempt upon the
island by small bands of insurgent refugees in
Nassau, Jamaica, San Domingo, and the Florida
Keys, the government has ordered troops to guard
the coast at easily accessible points, where instead
OF repellng an enemy the coast is made dangerous
to peaceful traders.
A Cardenss paper thus illustrates this fact: On
the morning of the 10th of May coal laden
schooner with crew of five men left La Teja for
Cardenas. Darkness coming on and the wind being
contrary, the schooner to await favorable change
came to anchor in a safe place near the Keys The
crew were just about take up the anchor wheE a
perfect shower of bullets came upon the vessel the
volley proceeding from civil guards and soldiers
ambushed in heighboring Key. The firing con-
tinued for quarter of an hour. The crew shell
tered themselves, but the vessel was considerably
damaged. When the marksmen discovered their
mistake they sent messenger to say that while
they we're fuslading inofensve vessel two boats
with ,suspcicious looking crews had landed on q
Key two miles further West.
1t is reported that the oath inst. Aguero with
picked corps of eleven men was on the plantation
of Ell Inearo, the farther side of Zapats swamps
where large detachment Of troops is stationed.
The troops however, failed to catch him.
