HAVANA, May II, 1S97.-Captain Cen
eral Weyler has left Sancti Spiritus,
Province of Santa Clara, for the field.
Before leaving he offered to build a rail-
road from Placetas to Sancti Spiritus
During a number Of small skirmishes in
the Pozo Lunar district Of Santa Clara
the troops have captured an insurgent
stronghold and have made seventy-one
prisoners.
In the fighting which has taken place
during the first ten days of the month of
May two hundred and eight insurgents
have been killed and forty-six, not in
Guiding the seventy-one already mention
ed, have been captured. The troops, dur
ing the same Period, lost four men killed
and had ten officers and 119
soldiers wounded
In addition. the troops captured 1888 sets
of arms. 342 horses were seized and 95
armed insurgents surrendered to the
Spanish authorities.
The Spanish Bank has not suspended.
The report to that effect grew out of the
suspension by the Spanish Bank of the
exchange of paper bills for silver, which
step was brought about by order of the
government As a result crowds of peo-
pie Went to the bank yesterday to pay
their taxes. believing that script would
not be received in future on account of
the exchange of paper for silver being
done away with and also owing to the
rumor that paper money would be list
ed thus causing great losses. The bank,
however, continues open and is doing
business as usual today.

WASHINGTON, May H. 1ss7.-In the
Senate. today, the Morgan Cuban reso-
luton was taken UP as soon as the rou-
tine business was out of the way and Mr..
Morrill, (Rep., vt) spoke in opposition.
The Senator said the purpose OF all the
Cuban resolutions, including that of Mr..
Morgan. was to wresf the iurisdicfiof
hitherto held and exercised only by the
executive branch Of the Government in
recognizing the belligerent rights or the
independence of nations. and thus to ex-
ercise the power by Congress in regard
to Cuba, Mr.. Morrill, declared that Con-
gress had no such power and that its
exercise would be contrary to all pre-
cedents. It will hardly be claimed, he
said, that belligerents rights of revoiters
should have recognition based merely on
sympathy, but they must be based
on justice and law. Were we now
to recognize the Cuban revolters
