A schooner in the service of the insurgent

Sevilla Bay, In the southern part of the Eastern 
Department. The Spanish troops soon after 
captured the schooner, and at last accounts were 
hunting for the arms, which had been taken into 
the Seviila Mountains, adjacent to the bay. In¬ 
telligence received here from Las Tunas is to 
the effect that Col* Benegasi, with his convoy, 
had reached that town in safety. During the

and commanders of shipe-ef-war that they 
would not be responsible for tho safety of for¬ 
eigners In Hakodadi, and requested them all to 
withdraw. Tho American Consul and his family 
and connections sought protection on board tho 
Arostook. The Oneida also took u. large number

was handled with ability, but t he Stonewall was 
more than a mutch tor a score like her. Eno-

fort, knocked down by the Stonewall, surren¬ 
dered to save a useless loss of life, and is now a 
prisoner in Yeddo. The country is now at peace 
and likely to remain 60 . The Tycoon is a volun¬ 
tary prisoner at his own castle, and his family, 
the most powerful and influential In the Empire, 
has been deprived of much of its income by 
order of the Mikado, at the instance, no doubt, 
of the Southern Princes, who combined and de¬ 
prived the Tycoon of almost tho supremo power, 
which his family had held for hundreds of years.

provement with a re-opening of tho Cuban inquiry,

Broom Corn. - About 200 bales Western, via New 
Orleans, have been put in ro.ukel since the late Cali¬ 
fornia arrival. New has sold at 20i.:„ old at Jic. A 
fair crop is expected. 
Butter. This week shows us the lightest receint 
for the y ; -.irthus tar, but there is too much surplus 
in our cellars lor the tact to Influence prices. The 
local trade wants butter, and as but tew ou. ers hold 
a reserve after their absence of Urn e weeks from 
the tegular market, a lively trade would open if the 
quality ul slock now hcd'e would rate good enough 
The cellars are lull or August made Western whieli 
is almost c ompletely neglected , tiesh Western lots 
of September make, when tJiey arrive, will sell ]n-v 
above our table of prices ; but il must he uue as biiV- 
era feel ovoflavnt 01 opening open the heavy ^i c 
or state to come lorward at rates which will enable 
them to lavor the consumer. I'ads have been on t he 
point or advancing all the week, bui the slack trade 
lias niDdo It till sale to curry uul the feeling There 
are many odd lots of Western, and not a tew full 
lines that hare been so sorted over that, shippers will 
secure bargains should they turn their attention to 
baiter thl» season. A large quuntltv is now ottering 
at about the range for lard. The receipt* for the 
week were6.937 pkgs., 2.247 loss (ban last week. The 
receipts for the month of August, IStiii, were 44,508 
Pkg*. 11.060 in excess ot sauie month of 1868 The

Cheese.—There has been u free trade In propor¬ 
tion to the receipts, but the market gives out a 
calmer tone than at our last; and with interior high 
prices, dealers have for the moment diminished 
orders for stock. Gold lias ruled lowor, ocean 
freights have advanced and cable prices have fallen 
off (id., with English crops eomtog into market,. The 
latter fact turns the attention of shippers almost ex¬ 
clusively to high grades of factories, which show a 
shade advance: next grades and farm dairy, how¬ 
ever, are selling well to the home trade at former 
full prices. The receipts for the week were 38,714 
boxes—19.875 leas than last week The receipts for 
the month of August, 1888, were263,192 boxes, against 
2 i0j>W boxes same month last year. Two car loads of 
cheese have been shipped to the Pacific coast during 
the week.
