corning Pacific Fortifcations.-.A
Man Captured at New Orleans.

Washington, April 2S.-The Post
office Department has received infor-
nation of another letter being held up
because it contained reasonable infor-
nation. The postmaster at Santa
Cruz, California, reported that letter
addressed to Premier Sagasta, Spain,
had been mailed there under direction
of Assistant Attorney General Tyner,

described points lower down the coast
where Spanish vessels could land troops
and said there were men who would
act as guides to attack San Francisco

There was less excitement in. Wheel

important news at the present time,
has caused the public to await the

but the crowds about the bulletin
boards were smaller than on the pre-
