Havana Custom House Frauds.

Havana, July I'm the opinion of
Havana lawyers generally, the accused
officials in the custom house fraud
cases now on trial, are likely to be &C
quilted. Apparently everything has
been done to assist them against the
prosecution and it is openly asserted
that the fiscal himself is determined
that no one shall be convicted. For
months it has been known that every
effort was being made to secure the
acquittal of all. All belong to the
best families in Cuba, many being
members of the leading clubs, and
some are related even to the chief JUS
tice.
There is also the awkward fact that
almost every class of the community
is endeavoring to get exemption from
Jury duty.

The Last About the Legations.

London, June 3O.-A representative
of the Associated Press was informed
at the foreign Office that the viceroy
of Nankin has telegraphed to the
British consul general at Shanghai
that he had received, June 25, an i'm
perial rescript as follows:
'The foreign legations at Pelin con-
tinue as usual to receive every protec-
ton from the imperial government"
On the other hand the officials of the
Chinese embassay say they have rea-
son to believe the foreign ministers at
Pekin were given their passports June
10. The foreign Office is much con-
cerned at the latter report and hopes
it will not be confirmed as it would be
an unexpectedly adverse development
which would possibly mean declara-
ton of war
