WESTERN FARM MORTGAGES Edward Atkinson, a recognized authority on financial questions, in the course cf an interview at New York, Thursday, said: '"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-half the farms of the State. It showed that of the farms investigated more than one-half were free of uny mortgages whatever, and tlie other half wem mortgaged to less than one-third their value. In other words, as nearly as 1 can recall the figure of that date, the total farm mortgage of Michigan was less than 23 per cent, of the value of the farm lands. Subsequently an appropriation of $l,000r000 was obtained to secure census statistics upon this subject. The duty was put upon Mr. George H. Holmes, of Washington, and Mr. John S. Lord, of Illinois, two of the most thoroughly competent men in the country. Their investigations are based upon actual records, and they have been completed to a sufficient extent to prove the following facts; Complete returns of Iowa and Montana have been published, and nearly complete returns of Ohio, Illinois, Kansas and Nebraska, corresponding substantially to Unpublished statements. The general result of the investigation is as follows:

"More than one-half of the western farm: are free of any mortgage of nny kind Less than one-half are subject to mort gage. The amount of the mortgages, takcii as a whole, is less than one-half of th mortgaged land. Half the money loaniM on mortgages has been loaned by citizen!of the same State in which the mortgaged farms aie. The indebtedness of mortgage of western farmers to eastern capitalist!, or others who do not dwell in the sam? States, is less than 12 per cent, of th true value of the farm lands in the States named.

A CUBAN REVOLUTION. Two Thousand InaorreetitonUU BmH? Armed and Organised. The New York Herald's special fro Key West, Tuesday, says: From all sources it is learned that twenty men took up arms on April 2 in Purnio, province of Santi&RO, led by two brothers named Sartorlous, sons of a brave Spanish general. MarchinR 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 Rolquin notified the captain-general in Havana that the uprising was of a political character. It is said to be due to dissatisfaction over the election of representatives to the Spanish Cortes in March, and to excessive taxation. The Spanish and Cuban paper 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 xhan April 15, so the movement was pre-arranged. Senor Jos Marti, their leader in this country, received the news in New Orleans. He wa surprised, as he desired the revolutionist to wait until some plans were perfected. He is expected in Key West to coniult with the leaders. A DREADFUL CASUALTY.
