From the Pblladeipnia fupnc Leuger'J
Spain seems determined to maintain
her supremacy over The ever-faithful
island of Cuba" On the 4th of January,
Dulce replaced Lersundi as Captain
General, but has not succeeded in crush
ing the insurrection at once, and there
fore has been removed. Antonio Cabal- :
lero de Rodas, the new Captain-General,
has Just distinguished himself by over =
coming the armed opposition to the pro-
visional government, and was in COM
mand of the forces that compelled the
surrender of Malaga by the rebels. The
Spanish provisional government, on No
vember II, 1868, ordered re.organi-
cation of the militia, and the dis
armament was attended with signs of
popular disapproval and forcible resist
ance. Late in December, on the rHmor
of the approach of the regular forces to-
wards Malaga, the National Guard of
that city few to arms, and commenced
to throw up stlong barricades. On
December 30th, Pawn, the Military Gov
ernor, assumed command of Malaga,
and advised the discontented militia to
disporse. On December 3lst, Caballero
de Rodas arrived at the head of force
of l8, 900 regulars, and issued proela-
nation, giving twenty four hours for the
insurgents to surrender their arms.
When this time had expired, De Rodas
commenced the attack, and proceeded
to capture barricade after bsrricade
at the point of the bayonet, notwith-
standing his forces were subjected to
heavy fire Of grape and musketry.
The iusurrectionary districts of the
city of Malaga were also bombarded from
the vessels of The feet. Negotiations
were then proposed by the rebels, but
De Rodas refused to listen to any terms
involving delay, and threatened to re-
sumo the attack in fifteen minutes unless
the insurgents dispersed and surrendered
their arms. This vigorous course Of
proceedings resulted in total suppress
sion of the rebellion. De Rodss is re-
ported to be man prompt in action, and
a fit agent to execute sanguinary orders,
and hence, it is probably argued, is a
proper person to paci6cate Cuba. His
success has given him the right to com
msRd the ten thousand regulars and elk
thousand volunteers now on their way
from Spain to Cuba. On the other hand,
his conduct at Malaga, it is stated, was
to be investigated by the Cortes, and this
appointment may have been made from
political considerations.

A very beautiful statue of the Indian
Baechus has been dug up on the Ostlan
road, and is now to be seen al the studio
of the sculptor Altini, in Naples. 1t is
evidently of Greek origin, with beauti-
ful head, entirely undefaced. IL is offered
for sale by its present owner for $4,000
francs, and but for the poverty Of the
treasury, it would long since have been
purchased for the Vatican gallery.

The London correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune tells the following story
apropos of Mr.. Tenuyson' 8 recent change
of publishers. 1t seems that there was
great competition for the contract finally
given to Mr.. Strahan:
A publisher who had an opportunity
of forming the acquaintance of Tenny-
son, some time ago, begged Mrs. Tenny-
son's acceptance of splendid ermine
mantle worth el00. A little later he
competed with others for the poems, but
was not successful. l hardly expect
you to credit what followed, but the
statement is said to be true. He wrote
to Mr.. Tennyson, and, referring to the
mantle, limited that it was given in the
belief that the publishing would be &C
corded to the donor, and as it was other
wise, he would like the article back
again Tennyson instantly replied that,
as the mantle had been worn, it could not
be returned, but if the bill Of its cost was
forwarded, a check for the amount
should be written forthwith. Whether
this was done, l have not heard, but the
story may be added to the anecdotes of
publishers"

apparently laid all night, as the bed was I'M
disturbed. DR.. shekell was called In, and
gave as his opinion that apoplexy was the
cause Of death. The jury, after hearing the
evidence, and also the evidence of medical
gentlemen who made a post norton examina-
ton, rendered verdict to the effect that de-
ceased came to his death from Inflammation
Of the membranes Of the brain, superinduced
by the excessive use Of alcoholic liquors.
Deceased was about forty-three years Of age,
a member Of the Masonic Order, and was by
trade a saddler, working for Mr.. Jenkin
Thomas.
