Havana, Maroh 13.?Tho Directors of tho Political Club of the Spauish Casino invited a number of wealthy citizens and leading flnanciors to a conference Mon? day ovouing, at whioh tbe condition of the treasury was taken under considera? tion. Tho directors submitted a pro [*paMft'ttlS?74llavV6W'PlVl 411 *>W386?WT)f' bjm.r??sy?O;G?? ipair, the portion which remained untaken bo/ divided among the tax-payers, aooordingto the amount of taxes paid by each. The direotors stated that the Casino would alep take steps to introduce the plan to the consideration of the property and moneyed men in the interior of the island. There was con? siderable discussion at the conference, but no resolution was -adopted. The proposition meets with muoh opposition. The distribution of the untaken bonds among the tax-payers is regarded in the light of a forced loan,, which ie all the more objeotionable as it falls heavily on the wealthy classes. The street people denounce it, declaring that a ooeroion to take the loan is against their interests, as well as contrary to law. Informal meetings of foreign and Spanish mer? chants have been privately held, at which it was resolved to oppose the plan, and the foreign Gonauls will protest, in osse it is insisted upon. Prominent Spaniards represent that the objeot is to make those patrons who boast loudly of their devotion to Spain, and are slow in affording real support to her interests, to take Borne share of tho burdens im? posed by the war for the preservation of their country's power.

At the timo of tbo arrest tho o flic or was crowded by up? wards of forty negroes, who were given to understand that their interference WOUld not bo tolerated. French soldiers arc being taught to do their killing in a morcscientifio manner. At the receut execution of Communists in Satory, tho order to fire was given viva voce, and not us usual by a signal. The prisoners were shot dead instantly; whereas, in former executions, when the soldiers were watchiug tho adjutant's sword, their aim became unsteady aud they fired wildly. Tho result was that sergeants had to finish the condemned with pistol bullets. Poor, played-out Stanley didn't get very favorablo notices from the Chicago press, tho morning after his lecture there.
