Tranquillity Marks First Selection of Officers of New Regime Governor Magoon Receives Messages of Con gratulation From People of Island. The tesult of thu elections In Cuba la Etlll limiting In the balance. Only fingiueutaiy reports hnvu been re ceived iroin the Interior, but these In dlcate general conservative gains and point to the piobablllty of the con servatlves carrying ull the provinces, with one or two exceptions. Mntnnztis City, Saguu la Grande and Santiago are known to have been strongly con servative. Governor Dougherty of Orlente province reports that three fifths of the municipalities there glvu the Mlguellstas A slight estimated plurality. Caniaguey and Plnnr del Rio evidently are conservative. In Santa Claia province It Is believed the conservatives are nl;ad. In Havana province there Is u close fight between the conservatives and Mlguellstas. The Zayaltas carried the Isle of Pines by a big majority, but are running in third place throughout the Island. In Havana city there is a great confusion over the canvass of the vote. Sonio returns still are lack ing, owing to the failure of district boards to forward them to the central board In the manner prescribed by law. The latter board, therefore, has been unable to forward the reports to Colonel Crowder of the department of stato and -justice for tabulation, and probably two or three dnys will elapse before the icsult In the city is ofllclally declared. The probability, however, Is that .lullo de Cardenas has been re-elected mayor of Havana and that the city vote will be suffi cient to offset the country vote for governor for General Asbert, Miguel isia, against General Emullo Nunez, consenatlve. AdIees horn all sections of the island show that absolute tranquillity prevails. Governor Magoon has re ceived from all the provinces mes sages of congratulations for the elab orate working of tho new law drafted by Colonel Crowder. VENEZUELA AND NETHERLANDS Talk of Armed Conflict Regarded as Absurd at Caracas. The differences between President Castro and the government of the Netherlands will probably turn out to bo less serious than seemed at first. All talk of an armed conflict Is regarded as absurd in Venezuela. The government believes that It had the fullest Justification for its dismissal of M. De Hens, the Dutch minister, and points to the action of the government of the United States I ... t .. .1... .ww.nll .T .1... l.'Nw.fial. minister, Lord Sackvllle-West, at I President Cleveland's request In Oc tober, 1S8S, as well as a like demnnd upon Spain lor the recall of Minister Depuy do heme by President McKin ley in February, lS'JS. Indeed, the case of Minister do Heus Is said to be much more tiagiant than either of the others i-terred to. In the case of Sackvllle and Depuy de Lome the let ters written denunciatory of the Aniericnu piesidents were confidential nud not intended for publication. De ; Kens, on the other hand, wrote his, letter with the deliberate purpose that ft (Jiould be published. The rumor that the Dutch armored , ship .Jacob Van Heetnskerck has been 1 dispatched to Venezuelan waters with hostile purpose Is denied at Caracas, it being well known that tho ship is sent out in the ordinary way to relievo the; Gelcerland, the regular term of serv ' ice of the latter vessel on this station being about to expire.

Prepara tions for the opening of fall jobbing trade In the first week of August ae making at all cities, buyers are gath ering in large numbers and a full rep resentation with Increased buying Is looked for. At a fow cities July trade has not been up to expectations, but at New York, where a moderate Increase In activity is noted, there has been a disposition 10 await forth coming large auction sales of cotton and woolen goods as offering a line on future demand. Best reports of fall trade come from the central west, not thwest and the south. ISverywheie, however, the testimony is that buying is of a conservative character.

Wheat exports for the week aggre gate 2, COn, 1118 bushels. Corn exports for the week ate 15,023 bushels.
