NEW YORK, December IA barge,
loaded with 200 tons of coal, has sunk
IN front OF the gates through which the
Spanish vessel Aripiio5 will have to
pass. This will detain her few days.
Visitors are excluded from tho navy
YARD, because visitors smuggled rum to
the workmcn., The Roanoke is receiv-
ing her coal, and will be ready for sea
: IN few days. The Colorado steamed
ont, to-day. and will receive her am mu-
milton and go to sen early Monday. A
number Of boiler. makers have been de.
tached from the navy yard to go to Key
West. for repairing purposes. The pres.
sure for workmen prevents the raising
OF the sunken vessel, which prevents
the departure OF the Aripiles. The en-
gines of the Florida and Roanoke will
be tried tomorrow. The hustle of
preparation on the Minnesota and Die
tator continues. The Savatora has q
notice at the gates soliciting recruits.
Herald special. from Paris, of De-
cember 6, says a cipher despatched
from Madrid says the Cuban Question
is again gravo. Minister Sickles to o-day
rendered his resignation as Minister. in
consequence OF disagreement about
the Spanish complication. This disa-
greement has existed for some time. It
is understood that in the recent negotin-
tions Secretary Fish acted directly with
President Castelar-ignoripg Minister
Siokles. and disnpproving of his imp
tive tone. The Correspondence says
they have had frequent disagreements
before. There was almost q rupture
with Mr.. Fish on the occasion OF the
correspondence attending the remand
Of Bidwell from Havana. and the Hourd
