FOUND A BABY OK TUB PIAZZA. l Pretty Olrl Left at Mr. Morris' Bouse In Bamotb. About 9:30 last night a closed carriage drove ap to the front gate at tbe home of Mr. and Mrs. Benj. Morris inSamotb. A minute later Mr. and Mrs. Morris beard a noise and tbe husband stepped through a winnow and onto tbe piazxa, followed bv Mrs. Morris. A basket was noticed bv Mr. Morris, and he called to a man whom be saw going toward the carnage, to stop. 1 be Cf.ll went un heeded. Just then Mrs. Morns noticed a bundle on tbe rusi ic seat near tbe basket. Investigation revealed a baby. As this discovery was madeamaa was seen to run from the corner of tbe bouse to the carriage, reaching which be sprang in, tbe horses were whipped np and the vehicle disappeared down tbe road, no attention having been paid to tbe calls to stop. Mr. and Mrs. Morns took the rjuoaie and basket into tbe bouse. In tbe bun dle, snugly wrapped about withasbaw', was a pretty girl baby some three or four months old. It was nratly dressed, and tbe basket contained a number of garments made up for tbe baby. There was nothing about the hild that could lead to its idcntiBcation or that would indicate the names of its par ents. In tbe bundle, however, was a sheet of paper that appeared to have been a part of a child s copy door. jo one side of tbe paper were scribbled a few words in a juvenile hand. There was a line which looked like "118 Rob. erts street," but tbere was no signature. Prof. H. L. King and J A. Kobcrson were passing the bonse.saw the carriage and endeavored to stop it. but no atten tion was paid to their calls. It is probable that Mr. and Mrs. Mor ris will adopt tbe child.

Passengers on the steamer Ynmuri, from Havana; which arrived yesterday, did not bring any important Lews of tbe Cuban insur rection.; Almost all action was confined to the Southern part of the island, in the vicinity o( Santiago, and at Havana tbe news received was so distorted aa to be ludicrous. It seemed, however, as if tbe rebels bad hardly a leg left to stand on. If the government dispatches could be relied noon. - General Sangniiy, who was arrested in Havana Feb uarv 28. will doubtless be garroted, aceoi diag toopinionsexpressed on the Yntnurt. "Tbere is always more or less discon tent in Cuba," snid a passenger, "and it is only bv intimidation and force of exam ple that quiet is preserved at. all. Con sequently when tbe government has reason to suspect any one of teaching revolutionary doctrines, tbev try to make an example of biminorder to deter others. So I think Sanuity's fate is fixed." S.
