V The strike among the Irshmen on
the Central Railroad still continues. We
learn from the Blairsville .4pGiachiaa,
that about ten days since, some eighty or
ninety of them made an attack on shan.
~ OH Martins section, where some few
men had been at work, and broke IN the
WINDOWS, drove out the occupants, and
injured ore or two of them very severely.
The assailants were armed with guns and
pistols, and attacks on other shantics were
anticipated.
This state of things should not be per-
mtted to last any longer. The military
should be called out. and an end put to ii
by promptly dispensing the crowd. II
those who are on strike are not willing
10 work for eighty-seven and half cents
per day, they should not be allowed to
prevent others from working who are
willing to do so on these terms. We hope
soon to receive intelligence that the law.
less mob has been put down, and that too

New YoRK, May, q, P. NJ.
The steam snip Ohio, Lieut.. Schenck,
u s. N, commanding, arrived at her
dock at about quarter Of three of clock
this afternoon.
General Lopez landed at Cardenas,
about ninety miles from Havana, on th-
l7th INST, with about 800 men and look
possession of the town. The garrison
consisted of one company OF about TO men,
who made but slight res sIslance, were
driven into a church and a ter losing three
killed, surrendered.
The General landed from the steamer
which left New Orleans on the 7lh. Sew
eral other vesselS-containing, in all 1900
men-had left previous 10 the Creole, but
where they are 10 land il is not known.
The city of Havana was under martial
law, and several Thousand militia had
been enrolled, and arms were presented
to them. The resident foreigners were
all called on to enrol.
There were 1900 troops in Matanzas
and 500 were despatched from Havana at
o o'clock, a. NJ, OF the 10Th, TO reinforce
them, and march against Lopez.
1t was rumored that the force under
Lopez had increased TO 1000, and that he
was air, ady half way to Ma.anzas.
On the 10Th, news was received at Hav-
ana, that a large force was collected on
Woman's I,land, near Cape Caloche, Y u
catan. The General Of Marines, with
severa'vessels and about 5000 men, start
ed immediately for that point.
Just before the Ohio left, the steamer
Pizarro came in with los prisoners, ia
ken from that Island. 1t was said they
were mostly German and Irish. The re-
port was that they were to be shot that
day, at II o'clock, or at least every tenth
man shot, the remainder confined IN the
dungeons Of Moro Castle.
he force in The Creole, with which
General Lopez effected a landing, is only
Il small part Of the expedition.
Ii is known that some ten or twelve
vessels have left New Orleans for different
ports of the Gulf, prooahly to land stimuli
Ianeousiy at diffcren! points.
Ii was reported that Lopez had broken
up the railr ads to Cardenas, in several
places. The merchants and bankers in
! Havana, were removing their n Oney,
plate, &c, into the fort for safety.
The Ohio, Georgia, and Falcon, were
coIDpelItd 10 anchor IL the eHAaHCe "a IAe

Captain schenck protested, through
! the American Consul, demanding from
the Captain General safe discharge, but
was refused. and told if he did not like it.
he might go 10 sea as soon as he pleased.
The Spanish Government would not be
responsible for the safety Of his ship
None Of the passengers excepting those
having passports, were permitted to 60
on shore. No communication was allowed
between the passengers while in port; not
even between the officers, until q permit
was obtained from The Captain General.
The Ohio was detained more than
fifteen hours after she was ready for sea,
waiting for permet to transfer her pas

General LOPEZ, who is to liberate the
poor oppressed planters in Cuba, is a
Venezuelan, not a Peruvian, by birth, and
according to a very inflated geographic
sketch which appears to have been writ
ten by the same person who produces his
proclamations, he has performed some
extraordinary things in his time. Origi-
nallv he was bred merchant, but he took
part with Bolivia in the civil disturbances
which ended in the expulsion of the Span
ards, and was a Colonel at %. He took
up his residence in Cuba in 1928. Being
in Spain during the Carlist troubles, ne
distinguished himself on the government
side, and was made first abide camp to
the Commander-in-che General Valdez.
He was for time Commander-in-chlet OF
the National Guards of Spain, and subse-
uueutIy Commander-in-c chief of several
provinces; was afterwards Governor oi
Madrid, and Senator from the city of Sc
Vile. 1t is said that he maintained liberal
democratic principles throughout his ca
reer. He is now so years old, and his
disgust Of Spanish rule arises from the
expulsion of the Cuban deputies from the
! Cortes.

Annexation of Sandwich Islands.

In an article under this head, the Sd-
Uanah Republican says:
'lt has been estimated by a contempo-
rary, that the United States have a frontier
line OF near l 900 miles, sea cost of
5,340 miles, and a lake coast of l,16O
miles. One of its rivers is twice as long
as the Danube, the largest river in England.
We have States larger then England, and
even bavOus and creeks in Louisiana that
would shame the Tiber and Seine. The
harbor of New y ork receives The vessels
that navaga1e rivers, canals and lakes to the
extent of 5000 miles, equal 10 the distance
from America TO Europe. From the cap
ital of Maine to New Orleans is 200 miles
further than from London 10 Constantine
pie, route that would cross England,
Belgium, part Of Prussia, Germany Aus
tria, and Turkey
One would think that, with such do
main as isldescribed in the above paragraph
we might afford TO be contented. But the
cry of the nation is that of the individual
-" MORE! MoRE!'' When did the ener-
getlc man of business ever think he had
amassed wealth enough! John Jacob
AstOr and Stephen Girard were as hungry
for gold on the day of their death, as at the
hour when they had but ninepence in the
| pockets of their ragged breeches. If the
spirits of the dead are permitted 10 know
what is going on upon earth, we have no
doubt that the ghosts of these delunct mil
lionaires are bitterly regretting that they
had not lived till after the discovery of Cal
ifornia.

sian, the "public conscience of the United
States upon the subject of annexation is
elastic enough to embrace Texas, Callior-
MIA. Canada, Cuba, and everything which
the "public appetite desires. Ifyou es-
cape it will be because your insignifcance
