NEWS FROM HAVANA.

Havana, Aug. 24.-Dispatches received
here from Holguin, province of Santiago
de Cuba, announce that force of 20OO
insurgents under CaliXto Garcia has at
tackled the forts of Banes. The insur-
gents, it is added, have twice called on
the garrisons of the forts to surrender,
but the latter have refused to do so. The
troops, however, were unable to prevent
the insurgents from burning the villages
of Cornibico and Larma. in that vicinity.
The latest adyices received from Bancs
say that Calixto Garcia has placed two
field pieces on the heights above that
place and Col Cebacos, with an army
of 200, has had a severe engagement
with Garcia's forces. Details of this
encounter have not been received as this
dispatch is sent. -

LONDON FINANCES.

London, Aug. 23.-Moncy rates have
hardened under the exports of gold to
New York. A million dollars has al
ready left Paris and London. 1t is be-
lieved that the shipments of gold will be
moderate. Business at the stock eX-
change has been confined to narrow
limits. The depressions in the Ameri-
can section continues. but the tone of the
Dther markets is generally tirmer, with
, renewal of activity in African mining
shares. Foreign stocks are reported
better because of the improved political
aspect. France has been buying Turk
ish and Spanish stocks, and quotations i'll
shares of this character arc higher
Gold exports caused Il rise in Americans
until it was known that these exports
were due to the fears of the New York
bankers and the arrangements which
they had made for encouraging ship
mcnts of the yellow metal to America;
When this point was understood
Americans again collapsed. Prices of
Americans were very irregular, and it
is feared that further decline will he

WILL NOT PRESIDE.

Albany, \. Y, Aug. 23.-Whcn asked
If Senator Hill would preside at the meet
ing to be held in City Hall square when
Mr.. Bryan makes speech, Mr.. Chase,
state democratic chairman, this after
noon said:
THE meeting it to he simple in its
character. Mr.. Bryan will not speak for
more than half an hour. and possibly not
longer than twenty minutes. Almost
Immediately after he finishes it will be
necessary for Mr.. Bryan to start for the
railroad station. The people will be
anxious to hear the democratic candidate
for president, and no one could address
so large a multitude in advance of Mr.
Bryan with advantage. and after he CON
cludes his address it is likely that every
one will wish to shake hands with Mr.
Bryan. There will be so much confusion
we think it impossible TO have a speaker
follow him While the citizens of AL
bany are always delighted to hear their
distinguished fcllow-townsman, Senator
Hill,the committee of arrangement do not
think it would be wise to have Senator

Saratoga. n. " Aug. 23.-Thomas C.
Platt will probably be the nominee of the
republican state convention for governor

control, his name will be presented to

without debate. The Associated Press
correspondent showed this statement to
Mr.. Platt late tonight. He thought for
