U In sit Ii 1 1. t'luru. New York, March 27. -A speclul cubic dispatch to the Herald from llnviina says: Tl f most important events In Cuba within ii week have been the successful muling of the Culluzo and the Calixto (iiuvia e.vpeditions. tho onn near Cardenas, at Vucadero beach, thv other iu the Hermudn, in the harbor of Muriel, on the north coast of Pinar d'il itio, only a few miles west of tho Imp-

der line of Havana province. 'io the insurgents, strong already in everything but equipment and "ammunition, these successful landings arr likely to be more fur-reaching in tho'r results than the winning of u grtnt battle. The landing of the ex

peditious, particularly the large cargo of the liermudu, means that empty cartridge, belts will be filled in a thousand rebel camps, and thnt thousands of sturdy fellows, hitherto unarmed, will have modern arms, anil that dynamite will again become u factor in IhiVi guerilla warfare. The Havana military post, Tuesday night and wsterdav. made 147

of political suspects, who were detained on various charges. This is tho largest number made at one time. On the arrival of the steamer Olivet from Key West Wednesday a man, whose identity was not disclosed, was arrested and taken to police headquarters A rebel llag is said to have been found in his possession. The Hcrmuda, with her enormously valuable stores, it is said, quietly ran into Mariel harbor on Monday" and discharged her freight wrthont, tb

slightest resistance. Though the landj ing was reported on perfectly trust- j

, nonny authority, no Havana newspaper has been permitted as yet even ( to hint at it. Since the report of the landing oi the Hermuda's cargo Maceo's recent hum clients are regarded as amply ? plained. The port of Mariel is just north of Guanajay and only a short distance ' from Cabanas, the two points about which he has hovered for a week, constantly harassed by the Spanish columns, yet evading a serious engagement. It is now taken for granted that he already has in custody the Hermuda's freight. Gomez, meantime, is reported to have crossed the Matanzas line into Santa Clara, thus apparently showing equal scorn for the force of ltJ.OOO or more men Gen. Pando has had there waiting for some weeks. The Hcrmuda.

landed her entire cargo without having been molested or even challenged.

European and American mills, make up an ample supply for the rest of the crop year. In the drv goods markeL the 1o in.

dicationsdo not warrant expectations that the mills will continue full production throughout the season. The; demand for woolens and dress goods is the best feature of the woolen markets. The sales of wool have fallen to less than half an ordinary week's full consumption, amounting last week to only 2,'J2(5.750 pounds at the chief markets. A striking feature this week has been a sale of :g.o.K0 pounds of American wool for shipment to Hngl ml. The iron ami steel markets have disclosed a similar feature, for a little Alabama pig was sold for export, though few imagine that much business of that sort is possible. The combination of lake ore producers has at last announced its prices

ior tue coming season -four dollars for lir.st-class Hessemer. S'i. U) to S: 75 for Messaba and S3 for noii-l.'c.ssenier ores-and it is calculated that, with coke at S2 per ton Hessemer pig can be produced at about if 12. 25 per ton at Pittsburgh, which is now the eurrreut price there. Hut the slow marketing of finished piodiiets is still the main trouble. There has been a little more activity this week, and the Carnegie works have sold 10.000 steel rails

thus scoring a noteworthy success, but in the main, the market is about as inactive and insufficient as it has been. There has been no trading worth the name in railroad stocks during the past week, and scarcely any in the industrials, so thatlliictuatioiis in prices ure scarcely worth noting. The earnings of the railroads have beeti rather less promising than iu previous mouths. TWELVE THOUSAND" ACRES
