MORE MERRIMAC MEN.
SPANISH TROOPS MUTTERING.
They Threaten Riot If Not Paid he,
fore EmbarkatiOn.

HABANA. via KEY WEST, FLA, Oc
tober 26.-The bitter feeling among III,
Spanish troops against the government
for not paying them is increasing daily
and menaces possible outbreaks, entail
ing serious trouble, before long.
The Orden Publico forces, who. as the
name indicates, are entrusted with main.
tanning order in the city constitute the
most seditious and turbulent element. Al
first the government proposed 10 pay
only those who were discharged Then
after protest it offered to pay all by
promissory notes, a proposal which was
refused. No cash settlement has been
made, and the entire body expresses its
dissatisfaction openly. Yesterday eighty
irregulars arrived here and went TO the
palace 10 demand pay. Their attitude
before General Blanco was such that he
ordered them 10 be taken to the Cabanas
prison, on the preteXt of being fed there.
but they have not been allowed to leave
the prison, and 10 all intents and pur-
poses are under arrest. These Incidents
prove the real feeling OF the troops.
The probability of an outbreak is con-
hrmed in private conversations with the
men, who threaten riot If they are order
ed to embark without payment. During
the last few weeks Spanish rule in the
island has been marked by unbridled cor
ruption and license on the part OF every
man in power.

PLANS NOT COMPLETE
PROMOTERS OF NEW RAILROAD
SOON TO PERFECT DETAILS.
NO UNION WITH THE SOUTHERN.
The Latter Said to BE Fighting
the scheme, Since IL IL known
That the seaboard Is Back OF

The meeting OF those interested in the
plans for extending the Richmond, re-
tersburg, and Carolina system to this
city which was to have taken place in
this city the early part Of this week, has
been postponed.
1t did not take place yesterday as was
! expected, nor IS It likely to occur before
the middle Of next week, or perhaps later.
Mr.. W. NJ. Habliston, who is promi-
nently concerned in the movement, re-
turned to the city yesterday from New
York. He says he has nothing further 10
state beyond what he said in an inter
view printed in these columns some two
weeks ago. The negotiations are by no
means completed, and are, in fact in a
very delicate state.
WILL NOT ASK THE SOUTHERN.
The statement made elsewhere that the
Southern railway might be asked TO CO.
operate in this scheme is said 20 be en-
tirey erroneous. 1t Is authenticity stated
that so far from cooperating, this road
has endeavored 10 defeat every move.
The old-time feud between the Southern
and the Seaboard Airline, which has
been aired for some time past in the
Federal courts, Is well known, and the
lion and the lamb are not going to lie
down together in this instance. The eX-
tension Of the Richmond, Petersburg and
Carolina road to Richmond under the
auspices of the SeabOard Airline means
a good deal to the Southern, and 1t is
stated on the authority of a gentleman
who has been concerned in the investiga-
tons that the Southern has done all it
could TO block the ingress Of the new
road, even bidding for property in the
line OF survey Of the new company.
OPTIONS NOW, NOT PURCHASES.
The purchase Of Peter Paurs stables
has been recently completed but no
further property has been acquired,
though the Carolina Construction Com
pany has secured a number of options
through Mr.. a. +. Smith father Of Mr..
Dewitt Smith president OF the Richmond,
Petersburg and Carolina
officials of the Chesapeake and Ohio
road deny that they have been approach
ed with any proposition TO build an union
depot here Unofficially, the matter has
been preached, and il has been suggested
that a proposition might not be met with
refusal.
Mr.. Adamson, the we'll known real es-
tate agent of Manchester, stated yester-
day that he was confident that no pro-
perty had been acquired by option or
purchase for the Richmond, Petersburg
and Carolina railroad on the south side
OF the river.

Consolidation Of Banks.
providence Journal)


Bank consolidation on the scale on
which it is now 10 be carried through in
Boston is no new thing, either in that
city or elsewhere. The scheme was pro-
posed i'm Boston a year or more ago.
Similar schemes have been proposed in
several other cities, including Providence
and in some of them the consultations
have already been accomplished. There
is no mystery. Of course, as TO the cause
IL IS the same everywhere Of
banks. Boston seems 20 think that IL is
suffering from an exceptional congestion

whether the same congestion here in
Providence IS not IA bad, propOrtlonately.

any rate. that Boston should have as
many national banks as New York and
Brooklyn, combined, and a banking capt.
tai and surplus three times as great as
in Baltimore. q city Of about the same
size. Consolidation OF banks and reduc-
ton Of capital would surely be advan-
tageous, and ought not 10 be especially
