The allegiance between Gen. Walker and
). Il. White, Esq, excites the greatest aston
lshment among the particular friends of the
latter who have been in the habit of abusing
Walker without stint. 1t is now even hinted
that the passengers on board the steamship
Washington, which recently sailed from this
wifi ,c
California, uia the Nicaragua Transit route,
are filibusters; and White himself says that
as the United States Government would not
protect him and his contract, he has come to
the conclusion to protect himself 1t is sta
ted that he had the offer from Gen. Jerez, of
the contract awarded to Mr. Vandyke, but
that he refused it, believing the one which he
at present holds valid in all respects 1t is
difficult to determine what the present COM
plcaton will lead to. Gen. Hennngsen ar
rived in Washington on Monday, in response
to a dispatch from White, and an interview
took place between him and Walker last

settle old feuds Senor Yrisarri is also now
implicated as one of the Filibusters and is, it

The last Legislature of Minnesota, which
was Demo cratic, passed an act that its sue
cessor should not assemble in two years, un-
less called together by Gov. Sibley. The re-
