No Truth In It.

New York, April 19 —At the offices of the Cuban junta here this evening Mr. H. S. Rubeas, when seen by a representative of the Associated Press, stated that there was absolutely ne truth in the rumor which was circulated in Washington to- day in reference 10 Cuban bonds “having been offered to American newspaper pro- : prietors and bankers in order to turther | the recognition of Cuban independence. “[ must refer you,” said Mr. Rubens, “to the sworn statements made by Mr. Guerra, when he was testifying before the House committee in Washingtou, a short time ago. He then told all about our issue of bonde and the disposal of them. The can se today is entirely unfound-

000,000, inthe popular form of bonds of small desomirations, which will be offered

|to the people of the United States at par.

These vonds will be redeemable after five years at the option of the Government and, They will not . be made payable in gold, but the indefinite word ‘‘coin” will be used, as was the case in all previous iseues of ponds.

The reason why tbe new bonds will not be wade specifically payable in gold is the convlusion the republican leaders have reached that it will be uuwise, in the midet of great emergency, which calls for unity of purpose and forgetfulness of party strife, to raise a question which would be sure to rouse a bitter dontroversy in con- grers.

Money will have to be raised as soon as the war begins, for there is no balance in the treasury available for war expenses. Wher the $50,000,000 appropriation was made, which by the way has been nearly ali spent, the treasury had $225,000,000 in guid, so that after meeting that appropriation, there remained $175,- OF this amount $100,000,600 forms the gold reserve, which is held for the redempiion of the greenbacks and treasury notes, and upon which our whole national fabric of solvency and specie pay- ments rests. Of course that $100,000,000 cannot be drawn upon for any other pur- pose than the redemption of the treasury demand notes. The additional $75,000,006 is required for the working balance of the treasury.

Havana is Calm.

Key West, Fla., April 19.—A4 Havana despatch received here last morning says that, while outwardly Havaua is as calm as ever and there are no signs of excite- ment at the Cubana capital, there is a strong feeling that war is imminent. Jt is added that both the Cuban and Spanish patriots are enthusiastic at the prospectand eager for an outbreak of bosulities. The Cubans are enthusiastic because the ques ; tion of their treedom is involved aod the Spasiards are actuated by batred of the Un.ted States, over which they anticipate victory.

Fatmorvra, April 19.--The Somcre, ‘purchased in Germany, which has twice had to make port while on her voyage to the Uniied States, collided yesterday after- nooo with the mascary at the entrance of the dock in which she was being placed for repairing aefects in her machinery, having made ber leak in places. Asa result of today’s accident, the stem of the Somers was smashed, which means that there will be further ‘delay in putting her in shape for another start.
