RECEIPTS
AT HAVANA

New York, May "A dispatch to the
Tribune from Havana says: Receipts
at the Havana custom house for April
justify the prediction that the collections
at this port for 1899 will reach fully $lO,-
100000. The April total is given as $780,
o0o This is a decrease of $4,000, just
one days collection, from the figures for
March, but an increase Of $l54,000 over
February and $4,000 over January. The
total receipts for the first third of the
year are $3,242,0O0. Yesterday SCI 900 was
collected at the custom house.
The rapid flow Of American currency
into Cuba is Fastening the expectation of
Spanish gold and silver whose legal and
nominal valuation here Is far below

Twenty-six thousand dollars in Spanish
pieces arrived today from Santiago,
where only American money now passes
current, for shipment abroad.
Commenting upon the decree engraft-
ing the habeas corpus upon the criminal
code, the Spanish edition of La Lucha
says today:
Everybody should rejoice at this great
reform. which Is going to be accom-
plished in our laws. There are not lack
Ing, nevertheless, persons who view that
to the vicious intellectual education
which they have received. People accus-
toned to be governed truly cannot con-
ceive Of a system Of procedure in which
the social power exercises it's rule with
out prejudice to individual rights, or
without heaping taunts upon the ac-
cused. 1t is said that the habeas corpus
will leave the state defenseless and will
augment crime, but this will not happen
with a good police. sustained by the hon.
est elements which form the majority in
every society. We have faith in the sue

Cuba will welcome as the supreme guar

The insular cabinet has prepared a
plan for the establishment of bureau

COUNTY BOARDS.
State Board Appoints Good
Men For Commissioners.
Republicans Given a Representa-
tive In Every County-John
Feland Appointed.

Frankfort, KY, Sept. 21.-The
state board of election commission
ers, Messrs. Pryor, Ellis and
Poyntz, convened today and in a
very short time announced the ap-
pointments of county election COM
missioners that were of most in
terest.
For Jefferson county they ap-
pointed John w. Barr, Fred Hoertz
and Asher G. Caruth.
This was a surprise to every
body, and it fairly stunned the Re-
publicans who had their mouths al
ready in position to howl.
John w. Barr is the former
United States district Judge, a Re-
publican and one of the most emf
nent citizens of Kentucky. He with
other Republicans and Democratic
boilers had been very active in
urging the commissioners to appoint
David w. Fiarleigh or Robert E.
Woods. To show these people their
determination to have a perfectly
fair election in Jefferson county the
commissioners concluded to appoint
Judge Barr himself.
Fred Hoertz is leading German
citizen of Louisville, a man of prop
erty and high character and a
Democrat.
Asher G. Caruth was for several
terms a member of congress and be-
fore that commonwealth attorney.
He is a leading member of the
Louisville bar and a sterling Dem
ocrat,
Such appointments as these can
not fail to satisfy all reasonable
men. The other appointments were
mainly the same as last year, when
it was generally conceded there
was never such fair election in
Kentucky. The appointments in
this vicinity were as follows:
