Havana, June 1.-The military ad-
conspicuous leader of the late military
assembly recently collected 30 centeneS
from a wealthy Spanish merchant Of
this city, representing that it was a
contribution to a revolutionary fund.
The merchant gave the money on the
assurance that it would secure him a
favorable status with the possible future
government. Then, in order to secure
favor with the Americans, he revealed
to them what he knew. The extent,
design and cause Of the proposed re-
bellion are only known to the Ameri
cans through this information, and
whether there is any further foundation
for the suggestion cannot be ascer-
tanned from the merchant, as he was
told that nothing would be attempted
for several months.
The decree giving legal sanction to
civil marriages only has been approved
by the governor general. A clergyman
of any church, however, may perform
an ecclesiastical marriage afterward.
By the terms OF the decree certifcation
to the consent of the parents, made by
an ecclesiastical notary, is no longer to
be required. Under the old regime this
certifcation some times cost $500. The
decree is favorably regarded, as tend
ing to increase the separation OF church
and state.
