DE4R Pic: The Powhatan left us some days since
with Judge Conkilng United States minister MEXICO
on board Daring the stay OF Judge Conkiing here he
had several interviews with the but so
iaf a. We can learn, without any definite arang OF
inc existing dlflculties The captan-genera was ex-
ceeuhEiy courteous IN his demeanor, bat met every
proposition with the announcement OF his regret
at me necessity which obliged HIM take the course
be ala mat the government OF Cuba exception
able government and obliged TO resort 10 exceptional
measures and thai he, subordinate officer of the
crown OF Spain, could not entertain any proposition of
any KIND from foreign power and that all communi.
gallons. messages and messengers from such parties
must De sent to Madrid. This is the substance OF what
Judge Conkling has communicated 10 his government,
and eit IN dispatches for Judge Shzrkey who had not
arrived when the Powhaian left Mr.. Morland, the
acting consul is contrary to his usual habits and opin-
ions, abundant in explosives against the government
here .
Judge Sharkey arrived on the ls with his family in
good health and countrymen all glad 10 see
bm back again as II relieves them from OF aban-
sular interegnum However well fitted an acting consul
may be Tor the position, under the etiquette OF Spanish
diplomacy ne does not fill the power OF him who holds
q. The consul has had several communications and two
interviews with the captain general and though rumor
talks Largely about what has been done, say you
that IN TACT no conclusion has been arrived at on any
point Previously to the arrival OF the Crescent City
yesterday, the capain-general somewhat disposed
70 receds but he is now most firm II is said that ad
vices from the spanish minister at Washington say thai
,he cabinet bad assured him that neither Lieut. Porter
nor Mr.. Smith would be permitted 10 come here on J
mail steamer This the Spanish version of the despatch
but hardly think that il can be strong, for wei
know how the officers here the rainbow in what ,c
other eyes is clear sky. My private regret is thai
Judge Sharkey has not sufficient energy sustain the
issue into triumphant result Had Lieut. Porter and
Mr.. Smith both been retained on the Crescent City, the
question would have been settled amcaby and no me-
cessy for sending to Spain have grown out Of it, A.
| shall not know of all the proceedings in regard ia
that ship this voyage in tine TO write YOU You will gel
il through other have seen several OF her pas
seRgers riding through our city
The letters which have recently been published in you
city, written from here, have caused very great annoy
ance to the government and they are determined TO fer
verey. According the editorial Of the Daro de Ia
Md1tad certain foreigners, upon whom the authorities
have their eye are suspected to counenance the plans
against Cuba which are said 10 be medated in the Uni
ted States. The Dario adds, that when the proper time
arrives the strangers referred 10 will be made feel the
vengeance OF the government Have you any idea who
the letter writers are will tell you who rumor says
one Of them is: young gentleman attached the Brit
sh consulate most favoraby known your citizens fol
his department. to the American prisoners last year. He
supposed 10 write my letters and the idea stands
in good stead for they had better suspect him than me
II he Is taken up nothing would be done to him but il
Were caught they might serve me worse than they did
Thrasher The fact is that the government have deter
mined to run tilt against the hydra headed press but il
is time that General Canedo should know that knowl
edge OF events in Cuba is the property OF the world and
is not in his power 10 rob the world of it, Lei him re-
member this during his sober hours 1 am not to be
found or frightened.

one place to another as il usual This is an annual
movement under general orders, TO prevent The officers
