Australian Institutions Given Time
TO Adopt I'ro;ective Measures.
MELBOURNE. May 2.-The general un.
easiness caused by the many failures ot
Australian banks continues and the sus-
pension of the National Bank of Aus
tralia, the last of the financial institu-
tons to go under, has added greatly to
the excitement in banking and COM
mercial circles. The colonial govern
ment has issued a proclamation order
ing a five days bank holiday with the
object of allowing time for the banks
still doing business toadopt measures OF
self protection. This step was taken
after consultation with the managers
and officials of the leading banks. The
banks that were not consulted as to
the advisability OF closing their doors
for a short time have paid no attention
to the proclamation, and are doing
business AS usual. In nearly every case
where Australian banks rave failed
within the past two years the trouble
has been attributed to the withdrawal
of deposits.

ports of revolution in Cuba. He says
that on April % he found Gibara almost
deserted. He expected to load, but the
American consul told him that 1t was
useless to wait, as all the men had
joined the revolutionists and none were
left in Gibara to attend to business. Not
less than 800 went from Gibara. He
saw the Cuban flag floating over a
house there and over a fort further
north. The German sailors o board
who talked Spanish
Deserted and Joined the Band.
The captain sailed ON the 29th without
him. As he left port a schooner ar
rived from the direction of San Domin-
go and landed a small force of men.
About 80 refugees from Havana ar.
rived on Saturday. Many others viii
come here, some to avoid fighting and
others to reach insurrectionists without
danger of arrest.
Havana is closely guarded, and gun
boats have been dispatched to the south
coast to prevent and from the outside.
III friends without have not waited toe
long they had an excellent opportunity
to run in men and ammunition and
supplies while half the feet of gunboats
were absent. Farm laborers in Cubs
are all idle. The tobacco and sugal
crops are deserted. Thousands ara prob
ably ready for adventure.

NEW YORK, May 3.-The Times

from Gil IRA and reports the Cuban
flag floating over the fortress. The rev.

A schooner arrived here from San
Domingo on April 90 with men and am
munition for the revolutionist army.
Expeditions are now being fitted up in
Jamaica and San Domingo for the
Southern provinces. Spanish papers
endeavor to suppress the magnitude OF
the revolution. A Havana paper admits
that $500 men are in the revolutionary
army in the province of Vuelta Abajo,
and 1000 in the Santiago province.
A Council OF War
was called Monday. Manifestos were
issued promising a pardon to all who
will lay down their arms within 10
days. The Spanish troops are moving
actively enough to indicate that the
spanish government believes that
strong measures will be necessary to
suppress the uprising. The troops which
left Havana for Puerto Principe re.
ceived three moaths pay in advance.
Cubans here believe that every province
will join in the revolt in a few weeks.
The federal officials here are using
every precaution to prevent any ex
