FROM HAVANA.

Letters have been received in this city
from Havana, Of AS late a date as the 3lst
ult. The latest news received there from
Spain appears 70 be considered porten-
tous. "The King has taken stand, ;"
says one Of the letters, Gin regard to the
" Ministry and the affairs Of Cadiz; from
{" which, if he do not rscede,, some fatal
4" consequences will be the result in that
" devoted country.
The Spanish Convoy had sailed for Ca
dix. Two Patriot briggs were of the Moro,
who passed on ahead Of the Convey, wait
ing for favorable chance to cut some OF
them of.
The following extract from one of the
letters from Havana, however, is of more
immediate interest to US:
1.-The pirates carry on their robberies
in more daring manner in every quarter;
and il is expected that they will soon cut
the vessels out OF port.
"The ship Ann, belonging to General
George,D'Wolt, OF Bristol. was attacked
yesterday coming in, in sight OF the Moro
Castle, by an open boat, with about se
armed men, when the crew was at dinner,
and, had they not flown 10 Their small arms
with promp,itude, and beat them of, the
ship would have been carried ina few
minutes. as they were so near as 70 take
deliberate aim a: the helmsman with a
musket, and ordered the ship to heave TO.
They were all concealed in The bottom OF
the boat, except three, and, as soon as the
muskel was fred, they all Showed them
selves, and were ready to board; but the
warm reception they received from the
small arms OF the crew o. the ship induced
them to push for the shore again As they
kept astern of the ship, the captain could
not get his cannon guns to bear upon them;
otherwise they would have been sunk. |
have seen two more American captains,
whose vessels have been burnt near Cape
Antonio, shametully abused and malet1eai-
ed, and plundered of all they had"

that Boyer is in the possession of the
whole Island.'' Charleston pap.

lNUNDATION.


A very heavy rain on Wednesday night,
in conjunction with warm thawing at
mosphere, occasioned sudden rise of the
waters of Jones Falls at an early hour Of
Thursday morning, and presented ano
Their appalling spectacle to the inhabitants
residing in its vicinity. Much Of the pro-
perry on the west side of the stream, Local
ted in low situations, such as Holiday
street, Bath street, Fish Market space,
sc. was under water. Although the da-
images have not been so widely extensive
as on former occasions, yet we regret TO
add, the losses Of individuals will. in the
aggregate, amount to considerable sum.
The greatest sufferer we learn is again a
worthy citizen Mr.. Marcus M'Causland,
whose loss alone is computed at several
thousand dollars! 1t is most certain that
sooner or later The Corporation will be
obliged to adopt some liberia and efficient
plan for the prevention of damages and
losses by occurrences Of the above nature
and the sooner the subject is taken up
greater will be the saving. [.4mer,can.

TUESDAY, FEB. 90, 1899.
The .Alexandrian'' No. 5, was received TOO
late for insertion, twill appear in our next.
To the Editor of the Gazette.

1t is somewhat singular, that, consider
ing the number Of writers on the important
question now before the public, its consti'
tutional principles have not oeen touched
The expediency of the measure has been
ably discussed on both side.. Before the
people can come 10 correct conclusion it
is deemed necessary that the power OF
congress TO recede should be canyassed.
Previous TO a meeting of the people
of the county, their minds ought to be
enlightened on every branch of the sub
ject, IN order that they may act with con-
sistency and impartiality. ltmay be said
that it is superfuous TO discuss the consti-
tutional point, inasmucb as congress ought
TO be CO sidered the best judges. They
are equally Judges of the expediercy OF
the measure. The sense of the people
should be emphatical!y expressed on both
points, if it be intended that their opinion
should have an influence in the determina-
titn of the question. If congress do not
possess the authority OF receding the dis
trict, where is the necessity OF an applica-
ton for that purpose. 1t is evident TO my
mind that the question should be fully eluci-
dated before the citizens are calledon TO act.
am inclined to believe that Congress
have not the right to abandon US. The
District consider to be vested IN the peo-
pile or in the states. fol particular purpose
expressed in the Constitution. Then the
people or the states are TO be consulted
on this important affair. Their con-
sent must be obtained. Congress.
as such have al present no authority what
ever, to surrender all, or any portion OF the
District. 1t is vested interest, and cannot
be Invested without the will of the people
constitutionaIIy declared. It is grant of
ten miles square, and altho' Congress may
legslate for it, they cannot barter or con-
vey it without the appreciation ofthe nation,
These few hints, trust, will draw the at
tention of the disputants to The constitution
atty of recession Of this county, to the
State of Virginia.
