Her first sitsings were at the winter palace at St, I Petersburg, and the last at the summer villa at Zarskoe-Selo. While the palaces bristled with soldiers and no lice, both the emperor and emnress almost daily drove out unattended even by a footman.

LATEST HEWS FROM HAVAHA.1 ' - I A Treasonable Proclamation—Cabas M« of Civilisation—Demanded oaee as a R la tat—A Protest. Havana, July 17.—The pronuncisroento recently issued in the city ul Matanzas, signed “Betancourt,*’ ar.J calling upon Cubans to prepare to hurl from the country the “craftj eagle,” as they had removed the haughty and hungry Spanish lion,’* is now believed by many to have been the production of the civil governor of Matanzas. The reasons for this view are not very convincing, but’ Senoi Betancourt has not positively denied the authorship, and it is notorious that he has expressed almost identical sentiments in the Havana cafes on differene occasions before American of. ficers. He once used language elo=>ely resembling that of the “proclamation** in the presence of an American brigadier general and American colonel. Believe He Wrote the Appeal, Both officers believe it quite p re liable that he wrote the appeal. If not its author, then, in their judgment, ‘ he was cognizant of it, and agreed to the use of his name. Many Cuban 1 officers of high rank are also satisfied ; Senor Betaneourt was ftv some way in- j timately related to the publication ! and circulation of the address to the | people of Matanzas. (ten. Wilson, mil- 1 itary governor of the Matanzas. Snn*a Clara department, will doubtless ask the civil governor for an explanation ; in ease there is no denial from him. i Payable la Americas Gold. The Banco Espanol,the largest finon- 1 cial institution in Cuba, announced re- ' cently a semi-annual dividend of 1 per cent., payable in American gold, i The Advisador Commercial, the lead- j ing finance journal, which professes tc ' be shocked at the sudden change of policy on the part of the bank, says: ! “It’s capital is Spanish. Why is not the dividend made payable it^ Spahj^b gold? Certainly the idea must be to please Americans in order to gsiin fa- I ture banking favors. For no other ^ reason can we see why the bank did not declare 3.85% in Spanish gold.?* Real’ Reason of tbe Bank’s Action.

A prominent banker says the mu reason of the bank’s action is a desire to place its capital upon an American I basis, particularly at present, when Spanish silver is inflated far beyond justifiable reasons. This authority j says he considers that it will be only a matter of months before silver i« re* j duced to its former level, and that ! it is better to get upon the American basis before that reduction is accomplished. It is understood that for sever'd weeks the bank has been getting rid ! of a large deposit of silver, and has consequently made immense profits. The Satiago branch bought last autumn more than $1,000,000 at 50 cents This now stands at 84. Ideal* ot Civilisation. El Diario de la Marina says: “If the human ideal is material in terest, then the 'United States ’■possesses the highest form of civilization; but, thank God, the Spaniards and Cubans have been taught in a nobler school. The predominating influence in the United States • is capital. Monopoly, coupled withe the use of machinery, has only served in the United States to curb personal intellectual endeavor, to disappoint speb ambitions, and to make culture and knowledge hardly worth the candle It is only necessary to glance througl the columns of the American newspapers in order to find letters and interviews from returned officer* which have gradually changed the entire American sentiment toward Cuba While the Americans may be richer, stronger, more active and more businesslike than ourselves, they can no* claim to be cultured, not even to the degree of Spain's Cuban oiTspring.” Demand ot a Highwayman. A Cuban major called at the palaet to ask an interview with the governoi general, whom he said he would ask to give him an appointment in the customhouse. Lieut. Castle, of Gen. Brooke’s staff, informed him that he must make his application in the usual way, setting forth his qualifications and submitting a certificate of good moral character. To this the Cuban officer replied that he had earned the position by fighting for the revolution, and that if he did not get it, h«‘ would take to the woods, as several others had done. An Humble Imitator.

During the afternoon another applicant, a *negro lieutenant, insisted on seeing Gen. Brooke, in order to make a jiersonal demand for $15. lie said he needed the money and insisted upon waiting. After an hour or so the man, who looked fat and happy, asked Lieut. Castle for the loan of ten cents. The Commercial says: “The worst method of treating the banditti is the legal method, as it puts honest men at the mercy of robbers and frontier law. The best method is to capture them, let them try to escape and kill them. The reasoo why Mexico now has immunity ftoru bandits is that she has followed this course.” Citizens and property holders at Batabano have protested to Gov.-Gen. Brooke against t&e appointment of Martin Causo as mayor, owing to the fact that he is & non-resident ▲••tiler Es«sr of Drerfu tm Fall Paris, July IT.—The minister of war, the Marquis de Gallifet, has ordered a new inquiry into the connection of Gen. de Pellieux with the Dreyfus affair. It is expected that this will result in his dismissal from the post of governor of the military district ol Paris. M«rdere4—Murderer Arrested. Huntington, \V.
