mutfny OF Coiorcd Prisoners at Calves
ton, Tcxxs-One Killed aud Two

NOuN0E0e
From the Galveston Bulletin, Jae. 1s.1
A desperate attempt was made On We1nes-
day evening, about sundown, by the negro
prisoners confined in tho county Jail to
escape. which resulted in the killing OF ono
and The wounding Of two others. The cftm~
inal prisoncra arc confined On the lower aoor,
the military on the upper. Military guards
arc stationed over both.
The Sheriff hos OF late had q good deal Of
trouble with the negro prisoners. On
several occasions they have cut holes through
the brick walls and escaped On Thnrsduy
last seyeral got ont, but were nll rccopturcd<
On Saturday they wete morr nuruly than
called on the commander Of the post for
extra assistance. On bis return the stocks
had been set on fire and the man released.
He then had shackics made. The prisoners
learned during Wednesday afternoon that they
would be put on at suntown, and prepared
loose bricks from the pavement and walls.
The entrance hall Is about i've feet wide. At
about ten or twelve fett from tho front 1t Ia
crossed BY another forming a T In the arms
Of this 7 the insurgents stationed Themselves,
and upon the entrance Of the Sheriff they
stoned md drovp him back. He Was u1armei.
Uc then called the guard, Numbering seven
meg under the comEand Of Sergeant Bownc,
49lh Ohio volunteer infantry They entered
with loaded guns at tscha1ge bayonets.h
The prisoners rushed upon them With bricks.
seeking to w1cst their guns from them and
escape. The Sheriff and eeyersl Of the guard
were struck by the flying bricks. Eli Palmer,
who seems to have been the ringlcader,
seized the Ssrgeant's gun and attempted TO
4 brain h1m with o brick The Sergeant recov-
cred the use Of his weapon and ahot him
dead. One other was severely but not fatally
wounded with shot, and snother received q
bnyouet wound.
The insurgents then lel to cell and would
have suffered severely from the fncenscd guard
| had not the 9herin interpo5ed his authority.
Both the Sheriff and soldiers seem to have be-
haved maniu1!J, for the fight was a severe
one. The scoundsels had made extensive
| preparations for their Infamous work, and
| collected q large supply Of bricks.
! The evidence before the jury Of inquest
| showed that no possible blame could be atlix-
| ed to the Sheriff, or the guard, who only did

is military crime for the trial Of

make no provision whatever. Yet 1t is TecoS-

ANOTHER CAEsE OF TIE sUICIDE-DEaPATCHES
PROM SPAIN p1sAFrKovISG TIE ADMIRAL's
From the Panama Star and Herald, Jan. 1a.1


This L. the substance OF the narrative given
by the Caa.ereio- We cannot but think thnt
probably something else, besides the 1oss OF
one of his vessels, must have been preying up
Pareja's mind. Some say that the last ucs-
patches he had received from his government,
contained rather aharp dsapproval Of his ab-
rupt proceedings against Chilli. This, toyeth-
ct with the undoubtedly very unsatisfactory
position he fonnd himself In, must have been
one of the principal causes that led TO his ter
rible resolution.
About the manner in which the act was nc
compltshed,- we know only what We have
heard from private sources, although on good
authority: That on the afternoon at the fatal
day Pare}a had come up on deck after dinner
With his officers he had 4 revolver In his
hand, with which be shot two birds on the
wing; he then went down to his cabin, from
where, shortly afterwards, shot was heard.
On somebody rushing In the admiral was found
dead, and on the table q letter. in which, It ID
stated, Pareja gald that, 's2s tho commander
Of the Cavadonga had not had courage enough
to do his duty, so he (PareJa) had not enough
to snryive the Disgrace OF his tag,'' and dn-
ished with the wish TINT his body might not
be buried In Chllian !soil or Chilian watesg.
In compliance with this last request, we fur
ther understand Pare}a's body was put up In
gnano on board one Of the Spanish. or, as
others soy. q French ship, to b. sent home
His successor, till The pleasure Of hts govern
ment Is known, will be the captain Of tho

From the Lima Comercto, December a.
On the 18th The American cousnf ut Valpa-
ralso went on beard the Villa do Madrid, for
the purpose Of seeing the admiral. Both had
q long interview about some matters con-
nected with the blockade. Pareja showed
himself zasher favorable to the coDsuVs de-
mand, and told him ut the close OF the COZ
ference to come back two daya Afterwards.
When the consul was on tho point OF aytng,
Pareja asked him for news on shore; the coz
sui answered there was nothing Of impor-
tance, except the excitement caused by the
capture Of the Cavadonga md tho sending Of
the prisoners 10 Santiago. The Spanish aa-
mifal was entirely ignorant Of this for him
50 disastrous event, and this first iutimation
was great shock to him. He asked for the
particulars, which vera given him by
the consul, who then took his departure.
According to what had been agreed upou,
be returned On the Goth to tie flagship,
where he found the crew In the greatest di;or-
der and CONSERVATION. He asked for the admI-
raj, but received tho answer that the latter
wns very sick and could not see him. There
upon tho consul retired. What had taken
place IN the meantime Is the following: The
news which PareJa had received from the
American consul had deeply afflicted him.
His mind WIS 50 occupied with It that he
hardly ever afterwards spoke a word It Ia
further stated THAT some hours afterwards his
brain became affected and, he fell down on

easily had surrendered to tho Gillian arms.

WINTERS STOLEN MARE FoUND.-The
Solano Press of June Goth gives the sub
Joined particulars in regard to the arrest
OF a horse thief and the recovery OF the
animal:
On Monday last, Deputy Sheriff w. c.
Mexican, Of Sonoma county, brought to
this place the brown mare that was stolen
from Winters on the Wolfskill ranch, a
few weeks ago, and a young man by the
name of William Roberts, who is charged
with having committed the theft. NOD
erts was taken before Justice Hale for eH-
animation, and from the evidence It appears
that the accused had been in the employ
of Winters some twenty days or more, up
to the time the mare was stolen, when ne
disappeared. P. Drysdale, Of Colusa
county. testified that the defendant stayed
at his house one night about two weeks
ago, and had the mare with him at the
time. He persisted in stopping for the
night because, as he said, the mare was
tired. In the morning he tried to sell the
mare, but Drysdale, knowing the man,
would not purchase. From thence ne
went to the lower end Of Bear Valley 10
the Sulphur Springs, from thence to
S,ubbs', in Lake ~county-stayed v e
night-went to work the same evening he
arrived-could not sell the mare, and in
the morning he "played sick" and left,
taking the mare with him. He was next
heard from at Lower Lake-mare still with
him. Next he was at Santa Rosa-had
traded the mare off and was riding q diff
ferent animal. On the 18th Of June, Dep
uty Sheriff Mexican wa called upon by
J. II. Martin. Winters agent, and re-
quested to 60 to a certain place to look for
defendant, but did not find him. On the
evening Of the l4th, however, he succeed
ed in finding the defendant in Benito VAL
lev, at work for Talbot, and arrested him.
When told the cause 81 his arrest he ex-
claimed: al am gone up again, by CID!
It will be fourteen years this time" de
was held to answer at the next term OF
the County Court, and in default OF bail
was committed to Jail. Since the arrest
the defendant has at times affected insan-
ity, and while in Court acted more the
part Of q degraded villain than a lunatic.
We understand that he Gays he was raised
to horse stealing in Hardin county, Ken
lucky.

cannot perceive how the elaborate speech
Of Secretary Seward recently delivered at
Auburn, y. Y, and the several responses
