qua Ia Grande Ar~als than the Captain Gen
eral gave the most energetic orders for the
protection OF our rights and our. in
those waters. And Mr.. Cass thanked him. for
1t, IN the name of the Government.
Some time since, also, a vessel sailed from
India with a cargo Of Chinese coolies for the
Island. The coolies mutinied in the mort Of
Manila, and two hundred and ninety were put
TO death. The local authorities took cog
lilzance OF the affair, and two American citi-
zens, the first and second pilots, were con-
demned to several years Imprisonment. Never
theless, no longer ago than September last.
scarcely a third part of their sentence being
eXplated, the prisoners were set Mt liberty at
the request of the United States Government.
And the thanks of the Secretary of State were
conceived in terms " which could not but move
the heart Of the Queen"
Again, in 1854, q dreadful hurricane passed
over the Island, and the inhabitants looked for

ton. But this appreciation was never OBJ
tanned nevertheless large importations were
made from this as well as other countries. and
the duties at first exacted were afterwards re.
funded. The Spanish Government has ever
expressed the most sincere desire to maintain
friendly relations with the United States. And
these are the witnesses.
Under the second head, the distinguished
speaker says :" The Cuban purchase question

Vainly will they attempt toar9.anade us of the

seryation involves alike Spanish dignity and
honor. All the advantages that could bv Dos.

heaped up, would not for a m tempt MS
to part with this rich remnant of our wonderful

ancestors
Lastly, touching the powers of the CAPTAIN
General, for the management of the diplomatic
affairs OF the lsla2d, " there has never arisen a
question between the two countries which he

TRIED HIS LEGS FOR IT.-We have already
published Mr.. Montgomery's account of bis
difficulty with English of Kansas noteriety.
We now publish, for the first time the con.
hrmation of his statement by VIM. Couch
ana Daniel Cox, who were present. We
have it from the Washington correspondent
of the Tribune:
Two persons, VIM. Couch and Daniel Cox.
witnessed the affair. l have seen A state.
ment, made and signed by Couch, which con
firms Montgomery's statement in everv par.
ticular Couch says:
"Mr English spoke, saying, "How are YOU
Mr.. Montgomery Montgomery neither
spoke nor paid any attention to his saluta-
tion, but passed on down the Avenue. Mr..
English stepped after him few steps, and
struck him from behind, with his cane, a
very heavy blow on the side of the head,
when Montgomery turned on him. English
stepped back, and drew his sword cane, as
though about to stab Montgomery with it.
Montgomery stepped back into the Avenue,
and caught up a piece of brick English
was running when Montgomery threw the
brick and hit him on the heel or lower part
OF the leg. Montgomery went back for an
other stone, and English ran rapidly away
up Fourteenth street. When Montgomery
came back English had run a half square,
and was beyond his reach. We were the
only persons close by. We saw and heard
all that passed. Montgomery did not speak
until after he was struck.
Daniel Cox corroborates COUGHS statement
but says:
Il should add that Mr.. Montgomery was
unarmed, and that English held cane in
both hands and struck him with great force"
Thomas Reed Keover, hackman and gro
Ger, who was standing On the opposite corner
and saw the latter part of the affray, cor
roborates these witnesses.
Montgomery went Immediately to mag
istrate, and made charge of assault against
English, who has been held to bail. Mont
gomery's face was badly bruised by the blow,
which caused blood to flow profusely. He
has kept his room since, and is attended by a
physician. Had the cane struck an inch or
two higher so as to hit his temple instead of
cheek he would most probably have been
killed
The fact that Montgomery had already
twice passed English on Saturday without
speaking, shows that the attack was premed-
itated

/Ncw Medical SnIt.-The most remark

NEW Medical Snlt.--The most remarkable
I discovery in medical science since the days Of
kGalen is the Antiphogstic Salt, recently discover
4 ed by Doct. F. Coggswel, of Boston. 1t is per-
feet substitute for the lancet, the leach and the
blister never failing to cure diseases Of an inammato
nv nature This wonderful combination of chemical
salts is not patent medicine but the prescription Of
an emnent physician. 1t cures only diseases caused
by inflammation, such as rheumatism, Brain Fever,
Neuralgia, Scrofula, Dyspepsia, Ulcers Gravel, Asth
ma Piles, Venereal and cutaneous diseases, and in
short all diseases proceeding from inflammation, wheth-
er Of the head chest lungs throat abdomen, or eN-
tremies Its effect is to balance the fluids of the
body and eqsdIize the circulation of the blood. 1t
operates in the prevention and cure Of malignant dis
eases in precisely the same manner as the vaccine
matter which it resembles alike in its application and
effects This chemical combination is powerful and
instantaneous in its results that the dose is only what
will adhere to quill dipped in the Salt and held to
tongue for one minute. The most astounding results
have invariably followed its use in the Atlantic Staes
and thousands of testimonials to Its virtues can be
furnished, If required. WORKS, however, and not
FAITH is what is asked for this Salt; try it and it will
prove its own efficacy. 1t is put up in drachm pack
