BY JULIAN A. SELBY Empty Buildings in New Yore. The New York World publishes a list of empty buildings and offices on Broadway, between Bowling Green and Fourteenth street, which it says is "really startling." Along this central thoroughfare, out. of 850 numbers, 280 display the renting card, occasionally for a single offtce, and in not a few cases for thb whole building. Besides these, the notification of desk room to let are very frequent indeed, showing a general desire in many quarters to lighten the rent. The side streets from Broadway, and which for many styles of business are folly as good as the main street itself, also show a good many offers "to let." Canal, Crosby, Greene, Grand, Spring, Mercer, "Warren, and Walker streets have many fine stores and lofts waiting for occu? pants. While the dwelling-house property is holding up well, the stores and offices are tailing right and left The World says the dull? ness does not seem to be confined to any special section of the city or any particular business. It is a general business stagnation, a sort of after-wave of the panic of '73. There are about one-third more buildings now open* to rent than there were a year or a year and a half ago. The temporary rentals which are made are in many cases at a reduction of between 30 and 40 per cent The Cuban rebels have, after fighting six or seven years, got possession of the sugar .district of the island and all the important ports except Havana. During their raids they nave destroyed a great deal of property owned by Ame? ricans. Grant and Fish, were so long getting the Virginias matter Bottled, however, that the Spanish rebels will doubtless have time to conquer the whole island and then repudiate the damages to Ame? rican residents on the island. Damages should be claimed, from Spain at once, while she has a fin? ger in the Cuban pie.' John Mitchet. and the British.? It appears from the record of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, that the late John Mitchel renounced his allegiance to Queen Victoria and became a citizen of the United States in May, 1860. He had declared his inten? tion to become a citizen at San Francisco, in October, 1853, when he was about 87 years of age. This fact alone would have nullified his election to the British Parliament. opbhjl ~h0uoe7~" Tuesday and Wednesday Evenings, March 30 and 31. m \XD CARRY LOVEL'm SUPPORTED by a Large end Talented 1 Company, will appear in Tom Tay? lor's Great Sensation Drama, 1 THE TICKET OF LEAVE MAN.
