The moment silver advances in the Lon- don market, ermany will come with & supply. Of course, the speculators can reduco the profits of the Treasury onthe colnage, and nndnub{cdlz they will. But, {nstead of sflver being at 55 ence, It will undoubtedly go to [0 or 67 pence n the next six months. “Especially will this be true s soon a8 wa seo whether there Is to_bo any speclal demand from Indla or China. Tho Becretary, If he I8 wise, willnot purchase butlion with gold, but will use the resalting siiver coln, thus ;‘remne slver into circulation. The effect would be, that this stlver would come back into the Treasury In considerable quantities, and it could be pald out for interest, ' 1€ he uses aflver to ml':chnse bullion, silver will get into elrcula- tion.

Tho rovolution of 1308 promiscd great reforms on the Peninaula, but the Cubans pos- sesaed a deép and buraing hatred of Spain, had no [aith whatever that the lenefits to be enjosed by the Bpanlards would be extended to them. They, the Cubans, knew from experience that, no matter who ruled in 8paln, Caba wonld continue to be regarded ns a conquered dependency, from which the smews of war or the means for political iutrigue would continue to be drawn, Therefore they looked on the disturbance of offairs In 8pain as the long-hoped-for opportunity of putting In prace tice tho cherished design of revolution and the cxpulsion of the Bpaniants. Among the ieading spirits fu the fnsurrectionary moveunent were Cnrlos Manuel Cespeden, Francleco Aguilera, Munuel Agullera, Belisario Alvarez, Vicento Garcla, Danato Marmol, and Manuel Fernandez, each representing a loeal revotutionary juntun in the Enstern Department of the Island, ™ The nformation regarding the projected vutbreak having reached Havana, an urder was sent to Manzanitlo for thic arrest of tho conspirators, Dut o fricndly Governor of Bayamo gate them timely notlee, and they escaped.
