OUR MONEY AT A PREMIUM
Spanish Centenes Below Par at Havana
Custom House.
UnfOuudcd Reports of bandits Com
mitting Derrcdations in Noun
tains of Pinar del Rio.

HAVANA, January 13.-American notes
and coin are selling at per cent premium
over the regular rate of foreign exchange
for Spanish and American gold. The rea-
son is that centenes, worth in New York
1888 to 4S9, are receivable here for GUS
toms duties at 49,. Consequently, import
ers would rather pay American currency at
a premium than part with centenes al or
{ cents less their value for other business.
There is little American gold here, prob
ably about s2000,00o, and American notes
are brought by the soldiers and visitors.
The paymaster's army pay roll is $15o0oo
a month.
The Havana money handlers dislike notes,
not being familiar with them and being in
fear of counterfeitS. Nevertheless the
spectators buy them eagerly, owing to the
premium.
General Davis, at Pinar del Rio has in
vestigated the reports to the effect that
there are bandits in the mountains in the

and finds that they are unfounded. One or
two bands are reported to be operating IN
the province of Puerto Principe, where they
have been raiding farms and firing lew
shots to scare the proprietors.

ALLOWANCE RESTORED,
Action Regarding Post Office Clerks
in the Antilles.

The Postmaster General today restored
the allowance of $l.2j day for the post
office clerks in Porto Rico and in Santiago.
Some time ago this allowance was sus-
pended, but the clerks found it so difficult
to get along without the additional COM
pensation that many of them left the serv-
ice. In fact, the transport now on its way
to the United States IS bringing seven of
these clerks.
The Porto Ricans, as soon as they learned
OF the additional compensation, Immediate
ly raised the price of everything on the
island, believing the United States would
go on Increasing the allowance for main
tenance. AT Santiago there has been no
material Increase in the price OF food save
the natural Increase due to the increased
cost of transportation. Santiago was left
almost desolate of food stuffs, and nothing
is raised in the immediate neighborhood.
