The terrible affair at the Ayondale mine Is
now generally believed to have been a crime Of
the most aSful description. It is generally be-
lieved that the fire was the work Of an incen-
diary, though the earlier reports that it was the
terrible conclusion OF a long-staniiug feud
between the WEIGH and Irish miners Is nov
generally disereiited If there was no direct
human agency in kindling the flames, the solemn
fact ye; remains that the construction of the
works was such that a fearful calamity was at
some time or other inevitable. Whether the
for this rests upon the proprietors
of the mine. its superintendent, or upon the
State authorities. We cannot say But there WAS
the most criminal negligence somewhere. which
deserves SIS severe punishment as the authors Of
the murders recorded above.

NEWS SUMMARY.
CITY Affairs,

Yesterday afternoon the money stolen
from the United States Arsenal was found
under peculiar circumstances. Acting Chief
of the Detectives, Mr.. Franklin, first ordered an
examination of the water-closets, and this led
to the finding of a key which would open the
safe from which the money was taken. This,
however, gave no clue to the detectives and
further steps were required to be made in the
course of their Investigation. Detectives
Gordon, Lukens, and Tryon were, among
other places, sent into the loft over the
museum, on the Arsenal ground, and after a
careful search they came upon a package,
which contained 1924, ,O64 "A, the amount
missing. 1t was not contained in the official
envelope of the Paymaster, but subsequently
these regular covers were found in the water
closet. The detectives are still engaged in
the effort to discover the party concerned in
he..robbery.
james O'Brien, aged twenty-eight years,
was thrown from his wagon at Front and
Catharine streets, about five o'clock yesterday

The French Steamer "Tampico," Cap
tain Galland, arrived at this port on
Wednesday, in one day from Santiago de
Cuba. We have received a file of papers
thence to the 4th instant, and The fol-
lowing letter from our private correspon-
dent 5
We are in the most cruel period of the
Revolution. Both parties propose to
themselves 10 commit the utmost bar
barity. General VaImaceda, who COM
mands the Spanish troops, e%ncamped on
the ruins of Bayamo, has published a
decree worst than that of Mouravieff in
Poland. Every house found uninhabited
is TO be burnt down, aud the cultivation
destroyed all the families composed Of
women TO be taken TO the Spanish camp
by force, &c.
On the 21st April, Don Simon de la
Tore, our Governor, returned here, at
the head Of his column of 5000 men, and
announced TO us that after the attack
made On the rebels at Ramon, Is Leagues
from Cuba, the instruction was COM
pletely put down but the same paper,
EZ Redactor, which published the Official
despatch. had an editorial article inspired
by one of the officers. of the expedition,
in which it was said there had beel no
attack whatever, because the insurgents
not being able 10 cope with so large a
body of troops and being in want of even
powder, abandoned their Camp. The
column of Gen. de la Tore, however, did
not return 10 Cuba without leaving be-
hind signs of the most barbarous eXecu-
ti0ns. Overseers of estates, white and
black who, fearing the older of Valma-
ceda, had remained in their houses await
ing the ARRIVAL of the troops were bar
barously sacrificed. The.number so killed
amounted to co.. Colonel Ormachea d.
rected the men to follow the Camp, and
when they obeyed him he ordered them
to be shot. The presence Of General de
la Tore in Cuba has been the signal tor
fresh executions. Don Delfn Aguilera,
who arrived with a safe conduct from
Colonel Camara, was imprisoned, and,
by the instigation of the Galatians, was
shot He died like a hero. Four days
after a family of the name of Auaya, well
connected, consisting of a father and three
sons, were also executed. These acts
have given to this city q sepulcheral air.
Sorrow is seen in every face, as well as
Indignation.
The insurgents have responded to these
offences against, civilization, by executing
a double number of the Spanish prisoners
in their possession, and by burning down
the nrnnariies of all those who might
