INTERESTING FROM WASHINGTON.
Our Washington correspondent sends us in
teliigence of considerable interest concerning
the Sandwich Islands project of anne Ration. and
also concerning Mexican affairs. It seems
that letter has been received from an army
officer on the Rio Grande that two members Of
the Mex'ca Ministry at the termination of war
with the United States who took an active part
in the expulsion Of Santa Anna, have been
sunmarly shot without even the form of a
trial One of them was Luis de la Rosa who
was formerly Mexican Minister at Washington
This intelligence is regarded as very important
as indicating the determination of Santa Anna
to test his ascendancy and to act with absolute
independence in his position. II is known that
he Is personally disposed TO sell further portions
of territory to the United States, and also to
release us from our treaty siipulations concern.
ing the Indians Of New Mexico, for a considera-
ton, and the issue Of this affair will test his a.
bllity to carry out sucI an arrangement.
From the Sandwich Islands, there is eyerv
prospect of an early application for anne xation
10 the United Slates,- and there is no doubt that
1t will be fairly received by our Government.
In addition TO the statements Of our correspon-
dent, we learn from reliable private sources. that
the sentiments of the people of Hawaii are al.
most unanimous in favor Of anne xaton King
kamchameba is said TO be aLxinus for its con-
Summation, and his SONS are said to have Welded
all their former objections At meeting of the
Cabinet held after Dr. Judds retirement. every
member voted for il except Mr. Wyllie, Minister
Of Foreign A fairs, who is Scotchman. and
warmly opposed to it. There is scarcely doubt
entertained in the island OF the speedy consuma.
ton of the scheme. We presume there will be
very little difference Of opinion in regard to the
measure, in the nted States. The time has
gone by when the American people were afraid
ofther own increasing shadow. ~ Y Times.
There are new STRINGS of insurrection in the
Island of Cuba. Nothing is more natural it is
impossible that well educated men, accustomed
to the enjoyment of liberty when travelling in
the United States and other countries, should
long submit IN patience TO the tyranny there i'm
posed upon them. And it is impossible that
Government which exercises such TYRANNY
should not be alarmed at the most INSIGNIFICANT
demonstration Of hostility Their is no proba
bility that any considerable movement is on foot
in Cuba, but it does not take much TO create a
panic in the midst Of the Spanish officials Of the
Island. 1t is evidently such a panic which
forms the subject ofour telegraphic dispatch
giving the news brougt by the steamship Isabel
to Charleston.-N. Y. 7rib.
