A CUBAN REVOLUTION.

Two Thousand Insurrectionists Badly Armed and Organized. The New York Hdrald’s special from Key West, Tuesday, says: From all sources it is learned that twenty men took up arms on April 24 in Purnio, province of Santiago, led by two brothers named Sartorious, sons of a hrave Spanish general. Marching to Velasco, they were reinforced by eighty men, having a few arms. They took provisions from a store and proceeded to the coast, gaining reinforcements along the way. The civil guard of Holquln notified the captain-general in Havana that the uprising was of a political character. It is said tq be due to dissatisfaction over the election of representatives '"to the Spanish Cortes in March, and to excessive taxation. The Spanish and Cuban papery of Havana admit these facts, but Spanish surveillance forbids them giving full details. Revolutionists in Cuba notified their colleagues in Key West that they would rise not later than April 15, so the movement was pre-arranged. Senor Jose. Marti, their leader in this country, feceivcd the news In Neyv Orleans. He was surprised, as he desired the revolutionists to wait until some plans were perfected. He is expected in Key West to consult with the leaders.

WESTERN FARM MORTGAGES.

Edward Atkinson, a recognized authority on financial questions, in the course of an interview at New York. Thursday, saldi t'Four or five years ago the first complete investigation of farm mortgages was made by the commission of labor statistics in Michigan. It related to more than one-haU tlm farms of the State. It showed that of the farms investigated more than one-half were free of any mortgages whatever, and tho other half, were mortgaged to less than one-third their value. In other words, as nearly a* I can recall the figure of that date, ihe total farm mortgage of Michigan was less than 23 per cent, of the value of the farm lands. Subsequently an appropriation of $1,000,000 was obtained to secure census statistics upon this subject. The duty was put upon Mr. Goorge H. Holmes, of Washington, and Mr. John S. Lord, of Illinois, two of the most, thoroughly competent men irt the country. Their investigatloas are based upon actual records, and they have been completed to a sufficient extent to prove tho following facts: Complete returns of lowa and Montana have been priblishled, and nearly complete , returns 61 Ohio. Illinois, Kansas and Nebraska, corrasponding substantially to the published statements. The general result of the investigation Is as, follows: “More than one-half of the western farms are free of any mortgage of any kind. Less than one-half are subject to mortgage. The amount of the mortgages, taken as a whole, Is less than one-half of the mortgaged land. ;Half the money loaned on mortgages has been, loaned by citizens of the same State In which the mortgaged rarms are. The indebtedness of mortgages of western farmers to eastern capitalists, or others who do not dwell in the same States, Is less thats 12W per cent, of the tru6 value of the-farm lands in the States named.” , ■ . . . .
