ANTICIPATED OUTBREAK IN CuBA+TuE
SPANISH AUTHORITIES IN A FUNK.-In ,.ooshev
column will be found some exceed .oo,v fmnor-
tant and exciting intelligence from Havana
from which it Appears snat either the coutem-
plated fliblEsering expedition from New Or
leans, OF the grand Central American Coloniza-
ton scheme Of Colonel Kinney, with It's
reversiorary plans in regard to Cuba, or proba-
bly, both these alarming facts combined, had SO
terrified General Concha that on the arrival Of
the British West India feet, which has been
sent to support his measures, he proceeded to
arrest all who were considered obnoxious to the
government, to the extent, it is said, of some
thee hundred persons. Amongst them rumor
numbers the Governors of Matanzas, Puerta
Principe and Trinidad, and the Captain-G Gene
rails OVID private secretary. The ostensible
motives of these rigorous proce edings are the
alleged discovery by the government Of a con-
spiracy embracing a large proportion of the
wealth and intelligence of the island, and the
we'll ascertained fact of the proximate depar-
ture of another Glibustering expedition from
the United States.
There is reason to believe that the first Of
these allegations is merely q p~retence to cover
the apprehensions inspired by the second
These arrests are in all probability but the con-
sequences of the decree issued under Gcneral
Canedo's administration, and which render
liable to Imprisonment, as q measure of precal-
ton when political circumstances demand it,
all persons known to be hostile to the govern
ment. The only thing that seems to belle this
suppoiition, is the rumored arrest Of so many
high officials. 1t is not likely that such severe
measures would be extended to them, unless the
government were acting on precise and certain
information. We have, however, no positive
confirmation of their arrest, and until the facts
are known, we can come to no other than the
old conclusion, that the Cuban authorities are
easily frightened, and that there is more smoke
than reality in this pretended conspiracy. Be
this as it may, the measures they are adopting
are but little consistent with the paternal in-
t~entions expressed by the Spanish Ministry in
the Cortes with regard to Cuba, and are not
precisely of the character to ensure the graft
tude and moral support OF the Inhabitants in
the defence Of the rights Of the mother country.

NATION OF SANTA ANNA, ETC.
WASHINGTON, Fen. 10, 1865.
Aessrs. Alden and Eddy's Pacific Telegraph bill was
passed to-day in the Senate, as it came from the House,
without amendment. Although the grant of land was, by
the consent OF the parties, stricken out, Jet the form ia
which the bill is passed is regarded OF more value when
the line is constructed than the land grant with the pro-
posed government privileges and securities. The bill as
now passed grants q right Of way Of two hundred feet
wide, in perpetuity, and leaves the parties to select their
own route, to build in their own time, to FIX their own
rates OF tolls, and extends over all the property Of the
line the penal Law Of the United States for its protection.
It ID understood the parties are satisfied with the pre- ssut
bill, and II monetary affairs should favor subscriptions.

Mr.. Browns amendment to the Indian bin proposes

be paid out Of the Menomeneeis fund, on the memorial Of
the tribe in general council. The Commissioner Of In.
dian Affairs decided that the Indians we're entitled to no

him, that the laborer is worthy OF his hire. Having re-
covered a large sum from the government against the
decision Of the Commissioner, he Is entitled to be paid,
out of the sum recovered, full compensation for his la
Dor. The Senate viii probably so award.
There is q rumor here, upon the strength OF a despatch
from New Orleans, that Santa Anna has been assassi.

has established q provisional government at Acapulco,
awaiting the arrival of Ceval!o, then TO assume the con-

There was q tremendous outside pressure to induce the
President to sign the French Spoliation BILL for a few
bours last evening. The friends Of the claimants were
slated with a prospect Of his signature. They are CORES
~poDdingly depressed now--the Cabinet is said TO be four

not be reliable.

The "Old Dominion is a term which has be-

\. sower or saeaner vulgarity. We have
.rteorc treated Mr.. Wise with becoming
personal respect, as we do all men as far as
TREY are entitled to it. His personal abuse Of
Us, therefore, is gratuitous, and betrays his
natural instincts to be those Of the mean and
dirty demagogue, instead Of the chivalrous and
refined Virginian. He is a fitting champion OF
Forney and the Kitchen Cabinet, a worthy
elder among the Latter Day Saints Of the
spoils democracy. John Minor Bolts once tried
the experiment of sleeping under the sam
blanket with Captain Tyler but the pair
could not agree. Bolts and Wise would be
better matched.
It is doubtless this lamentable decline in the
decepcies and moralitics of Virginia politics,
as illustrated in the stump speeches of Mr..
Wise, that has so far excited the sympathies Of
Tammany Hall as to result in the special ap.
pointment of Captain Rynders as a political
missionary to the Virginians. He may be useful
TOM. Wise, in teaching him the classical and
comparatively polite usages Of Old Tammany ;
in lifting him up from the degradation Of the
drunken loafer in the gutter to the dignity Of
steech which characterizes the Coal Hole. A
Christian enterprise is this proposed mission Of
Captain Rynders. The Virginia Cabinet can
didate may learn Of him the proprieties and
decencies of political ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Rynders is qualified to teach him.
Mr.. Wise has an unfinished list of some TWEEN
ty places at which he is yet to harangue the
public with this Petersburg Charlottesville
Alexandria speech, and its variations. The Vir-
ginians may expect, therefore, twenty times
over, the same rigmarole on agriculture, COM
merce, manufactures and mining-the same
contracted ignorance of the universal, world
wide drawbacks of the war in Europe; the same
unmeaning generalities upon State affairs the
same fighting Of the windmills in his attacks
upon the Know Nothings the same slang.
whanging Of the fippant demagogue on the
slavery question ; and the same dirty malice
against the editor of the HERALD. This con.
tinued i~nfiction upon the honest Virginians
should, if possible, be arrested. Mr.. Wise wants
the materials for a new speech or two. Let
Captain Rynders hasten to his relief.
