Adolphe Caron, premier general, today
charged Hon. DR.. Montague, minister of
agriculture, with writing anonymous let
tiers to the governor general threatening

accepting money to assist a bill through
the commons. The governor general
placed the matter in the hands of Pre-
mier Bowel and asked for an investiga-
ton. DR.. Montague denied the charges.
1t was reported that he intended to re-
sign, but this he denied emphatically.
Lord Aberdeen has requested an imme-
date explanation. Excitement was at
fever heat all day. Sir Mackenzie
Bowel resisted all the influence that was
brought to bear to induce him to resign
in favor of Sir Charles Upper, ST.. AS

This column is now at or about Poso Re
dondo, northward of Batahano, and APP
parently moving in the same direction as
the column of insurgents previously re-
ported as heading for Guira Melena,
which leads people to suppose that it is
the rear guard of that body. All the
columns to the south of Havana appear
to be circling northward and toward Pi
mar del Rio with the object either of
pushing into that province or of complet-
ing a circle around Havana. This even
ing information was received to the effect
that the insurgents have burned the rail
road stations at Melena and at Guira Me-
lena, and the fields about Moralito and
Portugalte. There is much distress
among the inhabitants of the province of
Matanzas, and especially in the districts
through which the insurgents have just
passed, and the government of Matanzas
has sent an urgent request to General
Campos for the sum of 100000 with
which to relieve the sufferings of the
country people. 1t is not believed that
the captain general will be able to grant
this request.
Jose Rabi, the insurgent leader, has ar
rived at Puerto Principe from the west
ern part of the island to relieve Mayia,
who has been called east by Gomez. The
insurgents have dynamited train at
Neuvitas, the port of Puerto Principe.
The engine was blown upon the platform
of the railroad station and the engineer
and fireman were seriously injured. One
man was killed by the explosion. 1t is
added that the insurgents tried to take
possession of the train, but were driven

If there is a man in America to-day, whose
opinion of that which has to do with the In
dams and their habits IS of value, it is
that of the Hon. VIM. F. Cody Buffalo Billy.
The years of his life spent with them as
government scout and his later life of success,
combined with the respect and admiration
felt for him by the entire world, make his
words an unquestionable authority, on any
thing to do with this subject.

The cross-examination to which she
was compelled to submit was not the
least unpleasant part of the unfortun-
ate day. At length the subject, eX-
haustive as it proved, was brought to
an abrupt conclusion by the arrival OF
the Plymouth Zulu. Helen withdrew
to the ladies' waiting room, where she
sat sulking in the sitting heat OF the
crowded room. She was cross, hot,
tired, but she was glad to escape from
her undesirable notoriety, and still
more quiet to be quit of the persistent

SILVER'S CHANCES.

The friends Of silver should not de-

that that convention would be cap

With the allied money power of tle

y beautifully narrow margin.
With the solid east against it. and as
it happened. a~nta9onistic to the great
issue of the east protection with
thousands OF the best orators in the
land paid to shout against it: with an
almost united eastern press arrayed
against it. it lost, as vas but natural.
Silver has been talked this year
where it has never been talked before.
Its friends have gone out into the high
ways and byways. and its virtues have
been published from the housetops. 1t
has made thousands OF friends who
were heretofore its enemies.
Four years from now silver will
triumph. Instead of a divided west we
will have a solid west: instead of a di.
vided south we will then have Il sole
south: and instead of a solid east
against us we will contend with Il iii
