PoRr-AU-PRlNcE, Hayti, May 2i-
The following dispatch has been re

ton having been interrupted up tt
yesterday:
A furious cannonading was heard or
the 10Th Crhursday) last in the direc.
tion of the north of Cuba. To-day

Port de Paix is in the northwest par

claim Guantanamo was recently BON
barded by American ships, the sount
of firing may have come from that di
rection.

The State trcasurer's office is in receipt
of u few hundred dollars from an uncx-
pccted source. In the distribution of
pensions this year the auditor adopted
a new plan-instead of issuing a war
rant to each individual on the roll, he
sent county clerks warrant for the
whole amount due in his county, with
instructions how to pay out the money.
This saved time, labor and stamps
During the past few days county treas
urers have returned some of this pen
sion money to the State treasurer, their
overplus being due SO death or removal
OF one or more pensioners. Following
amounts have been received From Al
