A month ago, upon the interment of some sailors of the Resolute, their comrades put an 18x24 inch calico American flag on the mound.

Great fear is felt for tho safety of the naptha launch Paul Jones, hailing from Louisville, which left tlio mouth of tho Mississippi river January U for Pensacola, Fla.. with a party of ladies and gentlemen from Chicago and In dianapolis on board.

A Madrid dispatch says tho govern ment, on tho reassembling of the cor tes, will immediately ask La Refonna for nntliority to sell thu Marianuo (Ladrones), Carolino and tho Pelca islands, since Spain is powerless to maintain a sufficient force to defend thorn. Tho government arrived at this decision in consequonco of advices from Geneial Rioa that an army of 4,000 men, n man-of-war and two gunboats would bo necessary for tlio purpose.

C Will Probably Bo Advanood Throo Years Pay. GOVERNMENT'S AGREEMENT rim Amount In I'orty Mlltlom-t?iitni.n for lit lt-imjrmnt. Now York. Jan. 18. According to Brigadier-General Josu Miguel Gome, n member of tho Cuban commission in Washington, tho Cuban army is mini to leceivo tho three yearn' pay to which it is ontltled, $ 10,000,000 being ml vanced by thu Unltod States, with tho custom-houses of Cuba as security for its pavment. Brigadier-General Gomez, who has just ni rived in tliia city from Washing ton, ia grateful foi the way thocoiiiiiiia sion has been received. Tho negotia tions, it is oxpooted, will bo completed by tho end of this month, when tho commission will return toCuba. Gen eral Gomez said last night: "Our hopes have all boon realized. At ilrst, however, things looked dark for us. Poor Geneial On rain was tho most pessimistic member of the com mission. Ho had little hope for tho success of our plans whon ho left fur Washington. Thu rest of tho commis sion argued, however, that na the Americana had taken chargu of Cuba nnd thus provented us from raising money, wo hnd a light to request a loan, with which to pay off our men. Gun ernl Garcln nskod for only $100 fo each man. "Tho other commissioners protested because of tho small amount. Then camo tho general's death, and for lit time being negotiations wero suspend ed. At our next meeting it wris agreed that an official list of tlio men in tho Cuban army would bo required before any agreement could be reached. Ac coidiugly, I left for Cuba, whence. 1 returned on January G with the re quired document. "Thoro mo 47,000 mon to bo paid in tho Cuban army. Tho amount w( liavo requested is 140,000,000, to he turned over to ua oithor in ono or tin cc payments. Wo will give as security tho custom-houses in Cuba. Should tho government not raro to loud ui that sum, wo nro willing to take ono third of it and later pay thu men the rest. "As affaire now stand, I think we will receivo the amount in thtoo pay inents. This, however, is not decided yet. Tho late .Mr. Dingley was in fa vor of giving us tlio amount in one pay ment." Speaking of tho present condition of iilfuirs in Havana, General Gomez said it was bad. "There appeals to he much disagree merit among tho American soldiers,' ho continued, "and no ono scorns tc know what his powor is. Somo one gives an order, and tiio next man conn termnnda it. As a result tho govern ment of Havana is not as smooth ns it might be. "General Brnoko, however, is- well liked, nnd tho Cubans aro more than willing to help him. General Lud low's orders preventing tlio Cubant from from taking any part in the 'evacuation parudu,' caused n great deal of ill-feeling. This is now ddno nwaj with, and there need bo no fear of e clash betweon tho Cubans and tlx Americans. "Tlio American soldiers nro n fint set of men, and do not glvo any trou bio. Wo nro dona with war, and want iieaco, but nevertheless we would never tolerato tl o condition of affairs which is reported to exist in Porto Rico. "General Brooke, I am told, ia about to name a committeo of Cubans, whe will not ns his udvisers. Meudez Can oto, prosident of thu assembly nt Santa Cruz del Sur, will bo placed at tho head of tho commission. "General Maximo Gomez will re main in tho field until tho nrrny is (lis banded. Ho will then mnko his home in Havana. After tho men in the army nro paid off, wo will try to provt. to this country that wo nro fully nbh to govom Cuba. "Tlio paying off of tho army is the most important movo toward establisl ing traiiquiiility on tho island. If wo should nut bo able to raise tho money trouuiu witli liic men would follow."
