C~Oniirmatory Report.

PoRr-AU-PRINCE, Hayti, May 2s.-
The report of the arrival of the Span
ish Cape Verde fleet at Santiago de Gu
ba is correct. A correspondent here
has been able to obtain definite con-
tirmation of this news, but up to the
present it has been impossible to OBJ
tain any details. The dispatches sent
from here to Santiago de Cuba asking
for information on the subject remain
unanswered.

ellis of Fare in Fashionable Restau-
fanfA.

The question has been mooted over and
over again whether the ENGRAVING of French
and German dishes upon the bill of fare of
the better class of American restaurants is
or is not an Improvement. Many pretend
that before their introduction our cooking
was coarse, barbaric. This is an open ques-
ton, but no bill of fare presents attractions
to the d~yspeptic, but they. like the bilious,
and persons with weak kidneys,
can be cu1ed by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.

ton having been interrupted up to
yesterday:
A furious cannonading was heard on
the 10Th Thursday last in the direc-

firing continues in a lively fashion.
Port de Paix is in the northwest part
of%Hayti, and the firing referred to may
. have been at any part of the eastern
extremity of Cuba. AS the Spaniards
claim Guantanamo was recently bonn
barded by American ships, the sound
of firing may have come from that di-
Eection.

Colonel wynns Speaks

Col Dick Wynne, who arrived
here last night aud put up at the
Benefited hotel, spoke TO a fair
sized audience this afternoon al the
West Side city ball The Colonel
is a handsome man. got A b.g head
on his shoulders, and looks every
inch a governor aud when be arose
tn speak, he was given a warm re-
ception His speech abounded 10
good sense and practical sugges
tions. IL cannot be denied that
some 'of the pledges contained in
the democratic platform that are
reiterated every two years by the
convention assembled, are dead let
tiers, and Law pigeon-holed until il
becomes necessary TO bring them
forth for campaign purposes.
Many of these measures nearly
concern the people, who, If they
are not the holders, are at least
the producers Of the wealth Of our
country. Col. Wynne proposes to
correct some of the evils eIlsting,
aud bring into action some OF the
dormant pledges OF his party. An
economical administration of the
affairs of the state government is
one of the planks of els platform;
and he clearly demonstrates that
some Ornamental positions which
incur great expense, can be abol-
ished without injury to the public
.service
The Coloners speech was well re-
ceived, and calculated to make
many converts to his side Of the
question.

BILE evidence that the Spaniards

paper on which is printed pictures
of Moro Castle, the Harbor of Ha-
yana and all the surroundings. On
the bank in the foreground is a
Spanish officer with his back turn
ed on a kneeling private, who is ap-
plying a torch to a fuse on the
land. To make this picture etfec-
tive you must light a match and
touch the burning coal at the point
of the torch and Immediately a
slow string of fire begins to eat its
way in a narrow channel across the
the tissue paper until right under
the picture of the Maine, when a
paper cap loaded with explosives
goes off and tares the pictured ship
in twain. These sheets are made
by the Nelson Manufacturing Co.
