CAN ONLY MEAN WAR. Treasury and Money Matter* In General In a Healthy Condition . Although the Presidents message on the Spanish-American trouble was scheduled to be given to the senate and house on Wednesday last, it was again withheld, and the prospects are that it will not be sent in before the first of next week. A •sblegram from Consul Gensral Lee, at Havanna, aent to the President oa Tuesday evening last made an urgent request upon him that if the message was to contain advise to congiess of intervention, that it would be better withheld for a few days longer so as to- give him time to get all the Ameiicansofftbe island as a declaration of that kind would arrouse the smothered wrath that the Spaniard contains for the Ame ricans and would endanger their lives, therefore the President at once called together the leading senators and representatives and notified them of the request, and it was de ei(led not to make known tne con tents of the message until time was given for all Americans to leave Culm. Of course the request being heartily concurred in by all political parties. Half dozen vessels are now at work removing them as fast as poss able, and by the first of uext week it is expected that all who wish to avail themselves of the opportunity will be in the United States. Dispatches from Washington state that Minister Woodford’s fam ily have left Madrid, and that the Minister himself is all ready to aban don the legation at, a moments not ice, all American citizens and their in terests in Spain will be placed in the hands of the British Minister at Madrid, the staff of the American legation have already left Madrid, and are now in Paris where they will remain until matters take a turn one way or the oilier. ’’Consul General Lee is still at his post and will remain there until all other Americans are safe. The pres idents message has only been chang ed in that it will ask congress to authorize and direct immediate inter vention. Otherwise the message will stand, and will be of such a vig erous, ringing character as to meet the fullest expectations of the country. It will inevitably mean war. Hos tilities can only be averted by Spain herself declaring the indipendence of Cuba and yielding her sovereignty •ver the Island. ••£!rg<ni»WUUB witu opuiu uavc not been re-opened by the United States and will not be. The ipieen regent has not sent a personal mess age to the president making a new prapossl for peace.

We are $70,000,000 above the traditional reserve maintained for the redumption of the United Stated notes and the notes of 1 wJM and th< tendariey is towards an in crease at the rate of $200,000 a day. About |0 per cent of ttie custom receipts are being paid in gold. Of the great stock of gold in the country the national hanks alone bold more than $220,000,000. Since tin? disaster to the Maine in Iluvunna harbor, banks throughout the whole country have quietly pursued a poli cy which, without disturbing busi ness has made them financially strong (not less important to the country's wellare than impregnable fortifications and coast defenses.) But notwithstanding the stroDg financial position of the government and of the moneyed instutions of the country, there would in any sort of conflict, soon be a necessity for aditional revenue. Undoubted ly if war should come our first vic ory should be the placing of the treasury upon a war basis. Ex pedition in that direction arc of the utmost importance.” It is thought that a temporary loan of $100,000,000 will be necessary and that the amount can be easily raised, also that a loan of $‘)00,000, 0i)0 at .'i percent, ii' necessary, could readily he obtained from our own capitalists.

He was answered in the affirmative and then the manager was asked if he knew him. “Know him” said the manager, “well I guess so; met him severul years ago and he gave me a great scare. You see it happened this way: \Vo were stopping at a lodging house, 1 was occupying the lower room. About eleven o’clock some one sleeping in a room direct ly over mine sprang from his bed, and, tiring his pistol in rapid suc cession, shouted: Shoot them, don’t let one of them escape!
