Havana Jan. 2l.-The commerce of Havana is
almost wholly with the United States and largely
under the American flag. Two steamers of the
Plant Line supply tri-weellly mail service via
Tampa and there are two Ward steamers each way

sailing vessels TO be seen in the harbor of Havana
than in any other foreign port The bulk Of the
sugar is carried to New-YOrk by the Ward steam
ers and by sail under the American flag. The
sharpest competitors the Spanish companies.
one of which is heavily subsidized in Madrid, with
branch lines TO New-York, La Guayra, Colon and
Vera Cruz. Another Spanish line runs to Liver
pool. being virtually owned there There are no
steamers here under the English flag. a French
line dispatches two steamers and German line
one every month. The communications with Eu-
rope are mainly under the Spanish flag. No re-
turn heights be carried in that direction, since
the sugar goes in bulk TO the United States; ana
hence few steamers come out except those that are
subsidized by Spain and tramps knocking about the
West Indies for cargoes to Newfork. At Matan-

Dr. Robinson Faces the Franklin Au-
thoritics aud Tells His story.
FRANKLIN, Pa, May s. THE last few
days have seen number of developments
Ia the Tobin murder case or cases, for no
one any longer doubts what has already
been demonstrated with tolerable certainty
that Mary TOXIN was murdered on Staten
Island some two years ago and that her
father, \. r. Tobin, met his death by foul
play in this town on March -
When in New York the writer met DR.
Samuel Robinson, the well known Staten
Island physician, whose house had been
Mary Tobin's home for two years before
her death. told Robinson that he was
suspected in Franklin Of having put the
girl out Of the way and possibly Of hay
ing killed her father.
He at once came with me 10 Franklin.
Yesterday afternoon he met District At
torney kahle and Lawyer Osmer, the best
criminal lawyer in this part Of the state
"Gentlemen,n began DIR. Robinson,
Though busy man have come on here
from distant city to look right IA the
face the persons who have dared to say
that | am, or ever have been in any way,
directly or indirectly, responsible for the
death Of Tailor Tobin or his daughter
Mary"
He added that he always believed the
girl was murdered, that he had done and
is still willing to do all he could TO find
the guilty persons. He said that impor
tant facts were concealed at the inquest
and strongly intimated that the girls
lover, DIR. Bryan, was responsible for hei
death
DR.. Bryan says Robinson's statements
are inspired by desire for revenge. Ht
also says Miss Tobin knew certain facts
which Robinson wished kept secret ant
that Robinson may have killed her rathe
than allow her TO tell them

ley. the notorious detective, has sent a
long statement TO the press in which he
gives history OF that portion OF his life
which dates from his arrival at New Or
leans. O'Malley came here in 1878, and
since that time has been employed by sew
eral prominent concerns. He gives a de-
tailed account Of his services for the state
in the capacity Of a detective and reviews
at length the famous Matranga- Proven
zano and Heunessy cases He reiterates his
statement that the five Italians who un-
derwent trial for the murder Of Chief
Hennessy were innocent OF the crime, and
says that he would give his theory Of the
crime if he had any direct evidence at hand
TO substantiate it,
The day will come, be believes, when he
can speak positively on this point, but for
the present he will maintain a strict
silence, fearing that il he should speak
further on the subject he would throw
suspicion on certain persons who may be
perfectly innocent He states, however,
that Chief Hennessy was not murdered by
members of the Malta. O'Malley reasserts
his innocence Of any connection in the
Hennessy case, and says he fears no in
vestigation. All he wants is a fair trial.
He alleges that his life has been threat
ened and been told that If acquitted he
