in Havana where he has been for some
weeks, the situation is extremely un-
comfortable, especially for foreigners.
For two weeks he was followed by gov
ernment spies, who bounded his every
movement. "The revolutionary move
ment, he said, is growing rapidly and
is undoubtedly extending over the whole
island, and the Spanish recognize the
fact only too welIn
= = Mr.. NeiIl declared that the reporters of
the Havana papers went twice day to
the governor generals palace, where the
war news was detailed to them after be-
ing edited by the governor general In
case any news appeared that was not Civ

a Among the passengers were several
young Cubans, who, it was said, fled the
island to escape the prosecutions of the

ances. They proph esicd the ultimate
success of the revolutionists.

Bangor, April 10-The city government
had a great wrangle last night over the
salary of the inspector of buildings, and
Portland figures quite prominently in
the affair. Mayor Beal appointed ex-Al-
derman Henry g. Thompson to the posi-
ton, and the municipal officers recon-
mended $500 salary. Alderman Charles
F.Ward thought thisswas too much. SO
he started in TO economize. He wrote
G ity Clerk Dyer of Portland, to ascer-
tain what salary that city paid its in
spector, and last evening read the answer
which stated that he got $150.a Mr..
Ward could not see how the inspector in
this city could earn $500. He said that
Bangor's valuation was S13, 100000 and
it only had about 10000 population,
while Portland had almost twice as
many people and valuation of $3S. 00Q.-
900. Mr.. Ward did not succeed in getting
Mr.. Thompson's salary cut down as his
motion was tabled.
TERRIFIC LAND SLIDE.
There was terrific land slide here to-
day and it did thousands of dollars
worth of damage. The slide took place
in the rear of the Wood & Bishop COM
pany's foundry. Early this morning one
of the firm was notified that there was a
large crack in the top of the hill. and
he made an investigation. He thought
that only the top of the ground would
slide away, but before ~he got to the
bottom of the hill the whole mass start
ed and came down with great rapidity.

and these were smashed into thousands
pieces. The slide was caused by the
heavy rain of the past TWO days.

costs for being drunk. Smith paid his.
and Buckley went to Jail. Each WEE

Ruzzal dps Bay, this afternoon, during a

Belle, which lay near. Capt. Watts Of the
Island Belle with one man had put off

None of the Spurio us Stamps Discovered in

4 New York, April '1o.-Careful inquiry
IN New York indicates that the postage
stamp counterfeiters have not been oper-

at least, no one could be found yester-
day who knew anything about the mat
ter. More than a million Letters are sent
out daily from the post office here.
Postmaster Dayton said. I'VE have
not discovered any of the spurious
stamps as yet, but we would not be like
ly to do so any way, as we cancel letters
on our machines at the rate OF 20, 900 an
hour, and unless the stamp was very
poor counterfeit it would pass through
