was pillaged by thirty or forty outlaws last
night. They claim to be revOlutiOnists, but

until few days since, when they crossed
at Ranchita, raised men, stole horses, and
robbed houses, in which one of the parties
was killed. They intended capturing a river
steamer at Bagdad with money, but failed.
Their raid has no significance except show

lessness of the country.

treaty, but the matter was too delicate for
the interference of England at the present
time, Spain having an insurrectiOn on her
hands. The British Minister at Madrid
was doing his utmost to secure the Observ
ance of all treaty obligations. His lord
