HAVANA, Dec 1.-THE Diaro to-day
publishes the following news from the in
terror: The Spanish troops at Manazinello
were reinforced by sailors from mau-of-
war in the harbor, aud had a sharp skir-
mish with the insurgents near the town.
Ten of the latter were killed and many
wounded. The troops captured a large
number Of horses, and some important cor
respondence fell into their hands. The
governments loss Is not reported.
Proposals of capituisiion made by the
insurgents in Cadiz were rejected at the
expiration Of the armistice and hostilities
recommended. A desperate conflict took
place in which artillery was used by the
troops and insurgents. The loss in killed
aud wounded was heavy on both sides.
The result ofthe battle was ipdecisive and
the insurgents still occupy the hotel De
Vile and ct rounding districts. The Re
bells have detained within the hotel De
Vile all the foreign Consuls they could
seize, and hope that BY this means they
will be enabled to prevent the threatened
bombsrdment of that portion of the city
by vessels waiting in the harbor. Great
excitement prevails in Exeras, Malaga and
Tarragaus. Gen.. Prim is now on his way
to the Southern. provinces and it is hoped
his presence there will restore traugu lily.

A woman Proposes TO Roast her Baby
for n Meal.
From the Elmira On. " Advertiser. Dee 3.
Some two or three years ago Mrs. A.
J. Riker, wife of Andrew j. Riker, Of
Households, exhibited symptoms of in
sanity, but of rather harmless charac-
ter, and she continued in charge of her
family duties and affairs for considers
able time after the appearance Of the first
indications that she was not altogether
herself. Some months ago, however, she
became so much worse that she was res
moved to the insane asylum, where she
improved to such an extent that she was
pronounced sufficiently recovered to re-
turn to her family. She was accordingly
brought back to Households, where she
has since resided, although it was appars
ent that she was not altogether in her
right mind. A week ago, on Saturday
night, the husband, on going home quite
late in the evening, was surprised to find
his wife busily engaged in washing, which
she had nearly completed, and was just
about proceeding to hang out her clothes.
She was finally dissuaded from putting out
the clothes, as it was then nearly Sun
day morning. The excitement attendant
upon that nights labor caused her malady
to increase, and on Friday night Of last
week Mr.. Riker, upon going home, found
the kitchen stove red hot and roaring
fire burning therein, and his wife busily
engaged in putting in dry wood as fast as
space would permit. He inquired what
she meant by having such an unusual
fire at that time Of night. She replied
that "She was just agoing TO roast theil
baby that she intended to have one
good meal out Of that child" The truth
flashed across the husbands mind in al
instant that his wife was raVing maniac
and that he had reached home just il
time to save their youngest offspring from
a most horrible death and prevent hi
wife from committing an awful murder
r Mrs. Rikcr has since been removed +
the asylum again, and it Is hoped tina
her recovery may be permanent. Ger
tainly, until she has fully recovered, Sh
should never again be placed in pOsitio
to endanger the lives Of others. Grea

parties. Hundreds Of sick ask protection

"rREAsON AGAINST THE STATE -

Chief Justice Chase, q few days ago
rendered q very important decision, IN
the case ofC. c. Keppell rs. the Peters,
burg Railroad Company. He held,
among other things, that the State OF
Virginia was at least State govern
ment de fdcto during the rebellion
although the Confederate States Cow
eminent was not-and that citizens OF
Virginia were justified in acts done by
virtue of its authority. His definition
of the term, government de tacto, is as
follows:
at is perhaps most correctly used as
signifying a government completely,
though only temporarily, established in
place of the lawful or regular government,
occupying its capital, and exercising Its
power"
According to this definition, what was
the condition of the State Of Tennessee
during the rebellion, and what were the
relations and duties of the citizens ofthe
State, in the meantime ?
1t clnnot be denied that lsham q. Har
ris was the Governor of Tennessee, and
that as such, he occupied the capital
of the State-that the so. called "Rebes
Legislature" assembled, at the time pref
scribed by the constitution, in the Capt.
til of the State-that the Supreme Court
and other courts of the State were duly
held-in word, it is public history that
the executive, the legislative and the
judicial branches of the State govern"
ment were in the full exercise Of their
functions; and all this after the
State, by an overwhelming vote
of the people, had attorHed, SC
to speak, to the Confederate government
In other words, Tennessee, if nothing
more, was at least a government de tdctc
according to Judge Chases own opinion
and, as consequence, the citizens o.
the State were not only justified II
obeying, but were bound to obey and re-
spect the authority of the State, while il
| that condition; aud, Notwithstanding thu
government de jHre has resumed its an
tlority, the people can not now be hell
| responsible for acts done in obedience t.
the authority Of the de factO government
This being s0-and Judge Chase say
it IS so-what becomes of the many prose
cutions for treason against the State
predicatei upon enlistments and service
| in the Confederate army, under authOrlt,
of the State Of Tennessee? Even ii tn
.STreason Act" had not been repealed b.
the act of May Sd, 1861, as some prcten'
to assert it was nOt-this decision, o
opinion, rather, of the Chief Justice Go
the question has long been decided
strikes at the root OF the whole proceed
ing and lays it bare.
We presume that hereafter we sha
hear but little more of "State Treason
! in cur courts. Nowhere else in th
United States, than East Tennessee, ca
such cases be found dochoted in a Grim
nal court.
