This continued activity in the eastern
departments tends to confirm the Cuban
assertion that a part Of the Hornet 5
cargo was landed, after an unfortunate
attempt, at Puerto Bravo. These sue
cesses, following the great victory at

circles in Havana. Genera! reports
from insurrectionary districts afford evi-
dence of an ardent warlike spirit
Trustworthy information gives the IN

New YORK, March 3l.-A Havana

Spanish Government has been 1881
Some of these have been employed IN

BURNED TO-DEATH-SOME INJURED
BY JUMPING FROM THE WINDOWS.
RICHMOND, Dee. % About 3o'cIock
this morning the Spotswuod Hotel was
discovered to bc on fire on the lower
hoOr An effort was immediately
made to alarm the gu .sts and the scene
became indeScribaUic. Men were rush
ing about trying to save their baggage,
and the women, nearly naked, and
bareioOted. fleeing into the snow-cov-
cred streets. The steam engines were
promptly on hand, but the water be-
ing frozen, the thermometer indicating
only 5. above zero, it was some time
before the water could be thrown on
the building. In 20 minutes the flames
spread to such an extent that escape
bv the staircase was cut off. The
guests then commenced leaping from
the wiz dows. p. =. Clarke of Phla-
delphia, the steward of the hotel, leap
ed from the third-story, receiving fa-
tai injuries.
The most fearful scene of the disaS-
ter was the appearance of Mrs Emily
Cornelius of Baltimore, the housckeep-
er, at the window in the fifth story,
with one or two other women, scream
ing for help. The firelnen's ladders
were put up but failed, by two stories
to reach the windows. While the fire
men were endeavoring to lergthen the
ladders the women disappeared in the
thick smoke ard were lost, the room
Frightening up a moment after with
the flames. The following are the
names Of the persons burned, as TAR as
known:
Erasmus Ross, clerk of Libby Pris-
on during the war.
Mrs. Emily Kenncarly, the house
keeper, who has family in Baitl-
more.
Samel w. Robinson, a clerk with

rama of Pilgrims Progress.
w. II. Pace, of Danville, Va, tni-

J. b. Faris, messenger of the South

1t is noticeable fact that the only
building on the block thai escaped the
flames is the corner store that stopped
the cOntlagration at the time OF tht
evacuation of Richmond by the Con

THE EASTERN QUESTIoN.-The dis
turbance, that circumstances threaten
ed to precipitate between the powers of
Europe and Russia, has begun to as
sume more moderate east. The
English and Austrian Governments
have received GortchakOft's reply to
their respective circulars which reply
is as firm and courteous as their pro-
tests against any infractiOn on the part
of Russia. The English cabinets by no
means a unit on the action to be taken
in the matter, and exciting times.
stirring discussions, and an abundance
of wrangling has ensued, resulting in
the resignation of Earl Granville.
Had Lowe, Bright and Cardwell, the
peace portion of the Cabinet first re-
signed, the end might, and probably
would have been war; but as the be =
ligerant portion have first showed
mOderating tendencies the result will
be quite the reverse. Turkey finds
herself not in a good condition for de-
Tending her dominons, while the Ell =
ropean powers are no better; from the
fact of all expecting England to fur
nish the "Coin" to carry on opera
ations.-A multi plicity of obstac,, s
have bearing to the enforcement of
peace.
