The Government Censor Edits All Press Dispatches From Havana,
And Straight News Must Come by the Underground Wire. Horrors of the Mlli-
 tary Hospital.

Spec al Cable Message to the Age-Herald.
 HAVANA, April 11.-Jos. E. Marti, who was selected as president Of the new re- public yesterday at the convention held at Guaytanaro, province of puerto principe, has been proclaimed by the insurgents as their chief executive. It cannot be denied that considerable dissatisfaction exists among the rebels because of Marti's eleo- tion. He lacks the popularity of Maceo or Gomez, yet he is generally regarded as the most learned man among the rebels.
 Maceo declined the honor iu most posi- tive manner, as he desires 10 be in the field when the real fight begins. The names of the officers of the government, with the exception of the president, have not been made public. The places are not exactly desirable ones, as they lead either to the garrate or honor and distinction in a new government.
 The rebels seem to be fighting among themselves to see who shall rule Cuba long before they have any Cuba to rule.
 The new president is in the United States at present.

THE IRON TRADE.
The Review Sums It Up in Character istic Style-Manufactured Iron Said to Be Firmer
 Than Steel.

CLEVELAND, O., April 1.-The Iron Trade Review says today:
 In brief, the weeks developments in iron have been further transactions in iron ore, :, in which the leading Pittsburg interest has figured largely as a buyer; continued firm ness in Bessemer pig, with the basis still S1O.65 at Pittsburg; less strength in steel than was apparent week ago and in fn- ished material a more contracted demand than many in the trade had looked for with spring fairly opened.
 There is Q disposition by buyer and seller to take bearings from events now that ad- vances in raw materials are matter of record. Coke buyers are holding off ,s buy CTS of Bessemer pig wait, and consumers of billets are encouraged by the recent signs of weakness to postpone purchases still further. The question uppermost h con- nection with all calculations lis the outlook for various forms of finished product. Pig iron stocks increased in March, though less than in the month preceding, and there has been a somewb b at lessened production in the district contributing the bulk of the Besse- mer pig.
 The furnace output ontinues to be in excess of current consumptions. Strange as it appears, there is more hrmness on the manufactured iron than in finished steel, due doubtless to the prospect that the sec- ond Cleveland meeting of bar iron E,anu- lecturers, adjourned from Chicago, will perfect an agreement for better prices, with territorial adjustments.

"Kid" Murphy Satisfied the Spectators That Pat Connors Couldn't

Wednesday night Chief Mcdonald and Captain Weir prevented "Kid' Murphy and Pat Connors from meeting in a pugi- listic encounter, but last night the laddies met and settled the question of superiority with gloves.
 It was in secluded spot just beyond the city limits, and the hour about 9:30 when the two stpugs'' met. About fifty people were present, and both men appeared ac- cording to agreement.
 Both were confident of success, especially the "Kid," though his opponent weighed fully fifty pounds more than be did.
 After the ropes were stretched and the torches lit, the two combatants stepped into the ring, shook hands and went to their corners. Time was called and both men came up smiling. Blows were ex- changed aud it was soon seen that Connors wasn't in it.
 In fifty seconds Murphy had him stretched on the sward, and after the requisite count of ten Connors was de- clared defeated.

But the few moments was inside revealed most horrible state of affairs. Soldiers were lying on the hard, bare floor without blankets or mattresses. Their food consisted of some, broth made of meal. The water given their hot aud fever ish tongues was warm as usually used in tepid bath. The patients lay there groan- ing and writhing in agony.
 One of the soldiers, a young boy fresh from Madrid, had died early in the evening. His body was stretched out upon the floor for three hours without the slightest atten- tion being paid to it. Around him were a dozen or more sick soldiers. The air from the poisoned lagoons seemed to come in at the windows in huge waves. There was not the slightest odor of disinfectants. The very walls of the building were hot enough to make me instantly withdraw my fingers as they came In contact with them. There are more than 200 patients and two nurses were supposed to attend to all their wants. The soldiers who are permitted to walk the streets are beggars.

 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. April 11.-In a com munication to the senate today Harrison Reed, who was governor of Florida from 1869 to 1873, asserts that fraudulent bonds of the state are outstanding. He says these bonds are designated by the letter "B," and that interest coupons are in the hands of various parties in Florida. These bonds, Ex- Governor Reed says, purport to have been issued under his administration, and he asks for the appointment of a committee to investigate the matter, to ascertain by whom the bonds were issued and bring the perpetrators of the fraud to justice.
 The senate appointed a committee to look into the charges made by the ex-governor.

THE TURF CONGRESS.

IMPORTANT DECISIONS AND CHANGES IN THE RULES OF RACING-THE NEXT SEES.
 SION IN ST. LOUIS.
 MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 1.-The turf congress was in session until midnight.
 E. c. Hopper, James Reese and J. A. Murphy were appointed committee on jockeys. They met today. The license of jockeys was raised from B to S5.
 In the case of the horse Simmons, supp posed to be outlawed, committee of in- vestigation was appointed. If Tom Walsh was interested in the horse he will be out lawed; otherwise, reinstated.
 Ed Corrigan raised the point whether or not owners could enter more than one horse in selling race. The congress rules that he can start two horses in selling stake race, but not in a selling purse race. If ths entry comes on two, half of the excess money goes to the association and the other half to the owner of the third horse.
 It was ruled that jockey can weigh in with any amount of overweight, but only two pounds underweight.
 Ali selling races are made claiming races. Express conditions of races supersede the rules of the turf congress where they are in conflict.
 A sliding scale of weights for steeple- chases was adopted with minimum weight of l25 pounds and maximum oi 175 pounds.
 If a horse is injured at the post twenty minutes shall be allowed to make new book and all bets shall be declared off. The next meeting of the turf congress will bs held in St. Louis, the last Wednesday in October.
 Every track member of this congrsss must give six days meeting every year or forfeit membership. Any member Ia arrears in payment of purses shall be ex' pelIed. No jockey who owns horses can ride horses for other owners. Electric light tr acks are outlawed.
