MINNEAPoLIs, April 22.-The arrest
of a gang of counterfeiters, whose OPP
erations in this city during the past
three years cover the manufacture Of

Their Condition Is Wretched Owing to
Yellow Fever and Fatigue.
NEW YORK, April 23.-The Ward
line steamer Niagara has arrived from
Cienfugos and Santiago, Cuba. 1t was
learned from one Of the passengers that
a very lively state of things existed at
the seat of war. The insurgents had a
following of 10, 900 men, 5000 Of whom
were well armed. Many encounters
have already taken place in which tho
government troops had been worsted.
The officials made very light of these
engagements, the passenger said, and
claimed a victory wherever they had
the slightest encounter with the in
surgents. The Spanish troops lately
arrived from Spain were said to be in q
wretched state, having suffered greatly
from yellow fever and from fatigue in
pursuing small bodies of the insurgent
troops over the mountains.
