gold situation late in the day. a
number of the shippers, who in-
tended exporting the metal by

by the drop in sterling exchange,
and have returned some of the gold
to the sub treasury. The amount
returned was $1,000, 600, of which
$1,000, 600 was for the account Of
Laznrd Freres. One firm returned
$3.50, 900 and another S150,O0O. L..
Won Hoffman q Co. have also given
notice that they will return
81, 600, 900.
1t is figured that the Government
will save $4,000,000 gold owing to
the cancellation of shipments. So

Patriots Gaining Ground.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May ia
cablegram to the Times Union from
Key West, Fla, says: Private advices
to this city from Havana state that
fears are entertained that the Repub-
lican party will cause trouble in Spain,
and the belief is general that MARITIME
Campos will leave for lIadridin June.
In the event Of Campos' returning to
Spain, Gen. Polavieja will come to
Havana as captain general. News
from Camaguey is meagre. There is
no doubt OF great oppression in that
district. Many young men Of the best
families are leaving daily to join the
insurgents. Col. Orisa, reported
wounded in the battle at Canaan,
was killed, according to reliable IN
formation. The insurgent leader IN
this battle was Angel Guerra. Baya-
mo and Manzannillo are besieged by
the insurgents. The Spanish troops
are in starved condition, and unless
relieved soon will be compelled to
surrender On the 1st inst. two con-
yovs of provisions, ETC., were dispatch
ed into the interior. The one sent ov-
erland was captured by the insurgents
1t was valued at $1,000. The other ar
rived at it's destination. The Holgtin
and Gibara Railroad Company at
first refused to give the 100000
demanded by Maceo, but has
at last decided to give the same.
PAYMENT is 10 be made $4,000
monthly. People in the province OF
Pinar Del Rio are waiting orders
from the insurgent chiefs to take up
arms against the government: THIS
move IS expected momentarily. A
majority OF the spaniards on the is
land remain neutral, they having
been assured that the revolution is not
against Spanish people but against
Spanish rule. Ramon Esquinado Pc
rez. captain in the Spanish army out
a Cuban by birth, when ordered to
duty in Holguin, committed suicide
rather than fight against his people.

Viola ascended reached an altitude of
over ], 600 feet, the thousands of specta-

huge silken bag. With great difficult

but this too caught fire as she was
about to jump from the balloon.
Nevertheless. Mile. Villa leaped from
the cage and with her burning para
chute tiuttered down to the earth The
