Cuba's "Pacificatlon. "

Havana, May 10.-Gen. Weyler is
in Santa Cara and his arrival there
does not we'll accord with the an
nouncement he made so recently that
the province was pacified. 1t may
be that he heard the same rumor
which reached Havana, and which
was to the effect that Sagua la
Grande was threatened by a concen.
tration of several thousand insur.
gents in the hills there and that an
attack was evidently medisa.ed.
No one even at the palace pretends
that Matanzas is paci6ed, and a
messenger is On his way to New
York who will tell the Junta that
the insurgents in Pinar del Rio
number nearly 1000 armed men and
that four brigadiers there who served
under Rivera have acted vigorously
and in harmony ever since his cap
ture. obsying Gen. Gomez's s orders
not to engage the Spanish in force
until he gave the word that the time
had come.
1t is significant that the paper
money of Spain is at greater dis
count at this moment when the re-
forms are said to be at hand, than
at any time since the war begnn.

The election OF supreme court
reporter will take place July 1st-
The Office pays $4,000 There are
several candidates for the position,
among the number is F. NJ. Brown,
the present incumbent and candidate
for e-elsction. Mr.. Brown voted for
Palmer and Buckner, and boasts Of
the fact by saying he ''was not
ashamed to proclaim that fact to the
world" He is also accused of not
voting for part of the state ticket.
The question arises, is Mr.. Brown,
under the circumstances, eligible to
the office7 As he placed himself out
side the ranks of the party by refus-
ing to support its nominees, while at
the same time he wac drawing a
magnificent salary as the gift Of the
party, the TINES is of the opinion
that he has forfeited his right to
oven the slightest consideration to
appointment by the democratic mem
bers of the court. The reward should
go to the faithful, and the appointive

London. May S.-The Turkish

with the lighthouse administration
for 100000 at 8 per cent. Part of
this money will he devoted to war
purposes.
The impression now prevails,
however, that sn armistice will soon
be arranged. It appears that King
George has aeked the powers,
through the Car, to mediate, and it
is expected the Greek government
will follow Immediately with an of
fetal request for mediation. Greece
will have to yield in regard to the
evacuation of Crete. Germany
strongly insists on this point, con-

Us less while Greek troops remain
in Crete. France, Great Britain and
