AFFAIRS IN CUBA.


New York. May iO,--A dispatch TO
the Herald from Havana says;
There Is a grim humor IN the official
announcements as 10 the state OF the
lnsurrcctlUn and the outlook which
causes sneer in Havana, where food
Is scarce and sound money scarcer. AS
the situation grows worse at every
point. the palace reports become more
rose-cnlorsd and more NJ war with the
facts For instance. for n oenten, which
Is worth $3.50 IN Spanish gold. one may
get the equivalent of Sll60 In paper
money today in Havana
II is significant that the paper money
OF Spain Is at greater discount at
this moment. when the reforms are SAID
10 be at hand. than at any time since
the war began. During the lO-years
war n centen was at one time worth
SlS IN paper and no one doubts that
the billets win reach or pass that point
again. Two months ago n centen was
worth $3.50 IN paper and then there
was less talk Of paciilcation and re
forms than now.
The fact Is, no one pays any attention
TO General weyler's proclamation about
the peace he says he has brought about,
or his talk about the golden time THAI
Is coming. now that the queen regent
has been kind enough to sign the re
forms.
These things are mere sound. But the
paper money is a grim fact, and the
determination with which all persons
refuse to have It thrust upon them at
par has forced even General Weyler
to recognize that the money In question
Is superior to his decree and TO aban-
don his declared intention of furnishing
any one who looked twice at these shin
plasters.
Indeed, Spain, over his head suggests
that the billets be accepted In custom
houses with an increased duty corre-
spending to the depreciation Of the
paper. The shopkeepers do not accept
any billets In many cases, or, II they
do, the customer must pay twice the
gold price. The billet is just so much
deprecated paper and the country viii
not recognize 1t as anything else.
The plight OF Spain Is bad enough
without the rtotlng which would be gen

this paper down the throats of men al
