HAVANA, March 23.——General Wey-
:(udgments will expire With this month,
and the situation, especially regarding
mortgages, is somewhat complicated.
Creditors and debtors alike, in anticipa—
tion of the expiration of the decree,
have been petitioning Governor General
Brooke for weeks to take action with a
View to an equitable adjustment. The
form of a new decree has been carefully
considered by General Brooke and his
advisory cabinet, and the decree will be
issued on or before March 31. '
Generals Chaffee, Humphrey and
Ernst have‘chosen a site near-.Buena
Vista for a barracks for the garrison
of regulars. It is on a ridge overlooking
the sea, and is now occupied by the
One Hundred and Sixty-first Indiana
volunteers. Thcre will be 22 company
buildings,:with oflicers’ quartérs‘, to be
occupied by the Seventh cavalry and
Eighth infantry regiments. The work
of construction _will be begun next
week. The plans call for running water
and a complete seWer system.
The military assembly, owing to the
absence of a quorum, held no meeting
yesterday. The feeling is now that, as
it is clearly impossible for the assembly
to raise funds fOr the use of the army,
the most logical course, all things con-
sidered, would be to disband the army
and dissolve. A motion to this effect‘
will undoubtedly be made and will pro—
voke a hot contest. '
The Cuban generals Diaz, Monteagu-
do, Robau, Nodarse, Betancourt and
Peraza held another secret meeting last
night. It is supposed that, having con-
sulted their commands, they are now
prepared to take the side of General
Maximo Gomez against the assembly.
-A night school has been established
where intending Cuban voters may
learn to read and write. Orders have
been issued to the polic'e to confiscate
all revolvers carried by civilians, and
already the results are a large collec-
tion of miscellaneous arms. .
Mr. Rudolph Aronson, the New York

Bank Failure In Chautauqua County.
DUNKIRK, N. Y., ,March 23,—The
Excelsior bank at Silver Creek, of
which August Heine is president, has
made an assignment for the benefit of
the creditors. The immediate cause of
the assignment was the inability of the

it Tuesday by the German bank of
Buffalo, with which the Excelsior bank
had an open account and upon which
it had overdrawn. The liabilities are
estimated at $110,000.

Senor Don Francisco Silvela. to
whom the queen regent of Spain has
intrust-ed the task of constructing a
cabinet'to succeed the liberal ministry
of Senor Sagasta. has been since the
death of Canovas del Castillo the fore-
most Spanish conservative. During
the last Clanovas ministry he. was not
in sympathy with the government on
important points.
At a meeting of the Conservative
club in Madrid on January 7 last Senor
Silveia confirmed the reportedcabinet
agreement between himself and Gen.
Pol'avieja. He censured Senor Sagas-
‘t-a’s policy in Cuba, his conduct of the
war with the Unit-ed States, and de-
clared that the cortes was morally dis-'
solved and Sagasta’s fall imminent.
He advocated a tax on all personal
property, an increase-of indirect taxes.
tion, large economies in pensions,
maintenance of the concordat with
the vat-icon, and a reorganization of
the administration of justice to free
it from politics.
He favored also electoral reforms
and the establishment of a ministry of
.public works and commerce, control-
ing posts and telegrapbs, and urged
the need of a powerful impulse for the
country’s industrial resources. He
said Spain’s geographical position
precluded her becoming a coun’try gov-
erned by foreigners, and therefore con-
tended for reorganization of the army
and navy to defend the. country in case
of necessity. He said" he did not be-
lieve Senor Sagasta desired. to'retain
oflice.
Senor S'ilvela was minister of foreign
affairs in 1877. He became Spanish
minister to France in February, 1884.
He is regarded as one of Spain’s most
eloquent orators. .' In June, 1897, he
declared that-the Canovas ministry
