The FLYING MACHINE OVER THE Wa
TEa.--We learn that the French Academy
OF Sciences is good deal interested by the
invention of q flying machine by Don Diego
de Salamanca, (Which we noticed briefly in
the Tribune of the 5th inst.) With thi.
machhts- Don Diego's daughter. Rosnura.
rose in the air some time ago st Madrid, to
the great astonishment of tho Spaniards,
who are bu. little accustomed 10 this sort of
miracles. Don Diego de Salamanca and his
daughter are about to arrive in Paris 10
show the effects of his marvellous invention.
The machine is very simple; it consists OF a
case two feet long and one foot wide, adapt
e6 TO band of leather round the whist
buctlrd behind. Two iron rods, fastened to
the case, support small piece of wood. on
',iJis1., s:.a>fse, repose. The case contains a
simple and ingenious mechanism, similar to
that employed to set an automaton in mo.
tion The mechs nism is worked by means
of handle. 1t sets in work two largo
wings ten feet long, made Of very thin
caou,chouc covered with feathers. and the
wings may be so worked as to produce
vertical. perpendicular, or horizontal flying
The number of turns given to the handle
determines the height to which it is desired
10 90. The handle has also to be turned
every quarter Of q league, to regulate the
distance. The operation Of turning lasts q
minute. Horizontal flying is the most diff
cult, the wings beat the air like the oars of
a boat, or rather as the feet of swan when
it swims. BY means Of this curious ma
chine man can 60 almost as rapidly as
carrier. pigeon, from line Hotel de Vile to
the Arc do Triomphe de pEtoiIe in eight
minutes. and in half hour to Versailles.-

DEspERArroN.-A letter to the Tribune
mentions the circumstances of a merchant
al San Francisco. who, having been barnt
out Of all that he owned by The previous
fires of that city, when the flames of the
last confagrarion surrounded his building,
in which ne had al! he possessed, coolly
invited his vile to walk out ard see the
FIRE; when they had passed into the street,
in moment Of mad phrenzy, he drew a
revolver and shot her through the head,
and then Instantly ended his own life with
another shot.

FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Aug. II

w hAs
1t is known here that the Pamparo took
FIVE or six hundred men from New Orleans
to Cubs, though I see that. in the New
York papers, il is pronounced a faOrIca-
llon, and intended only to excite enthus''
asrn in the cause at home: The Pampero
carried oh, six brass pieces Of cannon, and
also provisions and munitions OF war
Three hundred and fifty men at the same
time sailed from Florida in sailing vessels
The Pampero is to land her passengers
and their effects, and return for more. II
four or five hundred men should also en-
bark at New York, il would seem that Lo-
pez and the revolutionsts would s5on have
a force of some two thousand men.
Lopez will issue his proclama'ions which
he had printed ID New Orleans, and set DIP
a revolutionary government.
The Pampero, when she returns, is to
come back under the Lopez flag, and with
a commission, or letter Of marque from
his provisional government The Pampe-
ro was built under the superintendencs OF
Lieut.. Hunter, of the U. S. Navy, for the
California trade, and is sort Of flying fish.
Her burden is 400 tons, and she can carry
600 men. She was fitted out at New Or.
leans openly and without any reserve or
concea lment, and no government officers
inlerposed to question her. The troops she
carried were openly drilled for weeks near
the city. So this expedition was set on foot
in the U. States contrary to the law of 1918.
Al New Orleans, i, is said, the public sens
timent is so strongly in favor of the enter.
prise that the laws, which would obstruct
il, will be disregarded. Thus, while the
insurrection agaius, the Cuban government
has been entirely quelled in Cuba, it is be-
coming formidable here in the United
States.
There is no danger that the Pampero
" i'll be interrupted by the United States
vessels of war, though they were ordered
to the coas, of Cuba for that purpose
She can runaway from the whole Ameri'
can Navy. Nothing. in fine can prevent
the revolution OF Cuba, by those adventur.
ers, bu, the loyalty of the Spanish troops,
and OF the inhabitants of Cuba. If they
favor the enterprise, i. will be accomplish
ed in the course Of month or Two. But
our last sdsices do not encourage the be-
lief that the troops are generally d'saftected;
and it is well known that the men Of busi-
ness and property are averse 10 revolu'
tion.

The Government had received some i'm.

Tizarro. The movement, took place in the

1t was rumored that the fleet was bound For
the Florida reef; where it was reported
armed forces were gathering.
Expresses were arriving every hour from
the interior, but officials kept cvory thing 50

thing definite.
The government paper had been printing

they may preach ebout the equality Of
the sex, but they can't overcome facts and

made 10 twne about them. Man was made
to lead and woman to follow. Though an
equality were established between calico
