of Wooster university. He is well edu

Scovel was manager of the Cleveland

Cuba.

United States. Twoor three times he
boldly left the Cuban army and entered

General Weyler offered $10,000 reward
for the capture of Scovel.

Changed His Time.
Havana, tea. o. Havana money
brokers today waited on the colonial
treasurer for the purpose of informally
discussing the question of paper cur
rency. The treasurer recently called to
his office all all the money brokers of
this city esteemed responsible, owing to
their speculations, for the depreciation
of the paper currency, which was at 26
per cent discount on gold. They were
warned that if within forty-eight hours
the paper currency was not quoted at
the silver rate, or at a small discount,
the matter would be placed" before the
captain-general. At a meeting subse
quently held the brokers decided to pe
tition the government to allow them to
carry on a legitimate business. They
claimed they were not responsible for
the depreciation, and that, if they were
compelled to adopt lower rates, it would
close their offices. The treasurer, as
shown at today's conference, has en
tirely .changed his opiniou in regard to
the alleged hurtful practices of the
money brokers. He stated that they
are now in no way blamed for the de
preciation of the bills, and agreed to
grant them better facilities for their
operations. He also said that the
change would be made in the monetary
situation, in accordance with the de
mands of the public.
