CUBA.

Havana, 80. The home government has
relieved Gen. Burriel of the command of the
eastern department, because in a pIoclama-
ton issued last week he attacked the existing
administration of Spain. He has been or
dered to appear at Madrid to answer charges
preferred against him in relation to this mat
ter.
Capt. Gen. Jovellar insists that the govern
ment shall accept his resignation, unless he
is granted in full the extraordinary powers
enjoyed by predecessors. The government
has conceded increased powers, but they are
restricted by certain conditions.
The Vose de Cuba says that the only rea-
son Jovellar has not taken effective measures
for tranquilization of the island was because
no could not legally do so.
The Vose and Diario declare that the con-
servatves favor the granting of extraordina-
ry powers, for the only way to save Cuba to
Spain is to declare martial law throughout
the island, levy forced contributions and call
cat the militia to suppress the rebellion, and
that the execution of reform laws be post
poned until more fitting opportunity.
No tidings are received Of Ralph Keller,
the missing correspondent.

Congestion OF the Lungs.

WAUPACA, Wisconsin.
DEAR SIR:-Late in April, my father, who
is seventy-two years of age, and has been
practicing physician most of his life, was
seized with inflammation of the liver, followed
by congestion of the right lung, the attack
being return Of one from which he was just
recovering.
The disease finally eliminated in what our
physician called ''catarrh of the lung" and
which others have called "bronchial affec-
ton"
For more than three months father las been
troubled with severe cough, which gave him
no rest night or day
The doctor having exhausted all remedies
without any effect, we commenced to use Eel
lows Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites
the 22d OF August, at which time the expec-
toration was very copious, very tough, Cocoa
sionally of the nature of matter) and gener-
ally brick color.
Since that time it has entirely changed its
nature, the color is quite light, with no mix
ture of blood, and is only about third as
mucli.in quantity.
The swelling in his limbs which has troubled
him for about three months, has nearly disap-
peared, and he is fast recovering.
Yours respectfully, S. E. MARSH.

AFTERNOON TELEGRAMs'

New York, 30. The Tribune's Washing
ton despatch says that Mr.. Gushing is known
to disagree with Attorney General Willisms
in regard to some of the most vital points of
his late decision in the Virginus, and he does
not hesitate, ever since he was informed of
his appointment, to criticise in private con-
vcrsation the position taken in that decision
as utterly untenable. Mr.. Cushing is not
alone in the belief that whatever his opinion
may have been the Attorney General made a
grave mistake i'll attempting to decide ques-
tons gaowng out of the capture of the Vir-
ginius, which were not submitted to him by
the Secretary of State, and which could not
under any imaginative condition of affairs
come before him for decision.
A Washington despatch says one of the re-
suits of the abolition of the franking privilege
is the sale of official stamps to the amount of
$2,250, 900 for the current fiscal year. An
other saving is the cost of transportation of
the full weight of all free matter.
The Secretary of War maintains that under
the rules of war he can at any time order a
court martial in the case of Gen. Howard,
without the passage of special act. Gen.
Belknap preferred, however, not to appear in
the light of a public prosecutor, and has re-
ferred the matter to Congress for considera-
ton.

communication of seventeen of the crew to the
chain gang. knight, two of the Quartermas-
tiers and one of the oilers, were accordingly
sentenced to the chain gang for life, and the
other thirteen, all of whom were boys, to s

The report that large number of men will
be discharged from the yard on Wednesday
next, was said by Capt. Spufeldt to be un-
founded. The orders received from Wash
ington merely directing the heads of depart
ments at the yard to discharge the workmen
as circumstances may permit. There are
now {, 200 workmeu employed at the yard,
besides about 600 in the employ of outside
contractors. The appropriations are oaly
sufficient to keep 1000 men at work, but a
considerable number will be kept engaged all
winter.
The new sloop of war building at the yard
is to be completed before spring. The Ten
nessee is to be placed in the dry dock, and it
will require two p,onths Swork to put her in

NEW MEXICO.

Santa Fe, so. Reliable reports have just
reached here that the trouble in Lincoln Co.,
in this territory, between Americans and
Mexicans, is daily growing more serious.
Since the last report on the 10Th, six or seven
more persons have been killed. 1t seems
that the friends of the Americans previously
killed, went to Lincoln plaza last Saturday,
where dance was in progress, and trouble
arose between the Americans and MexicaRs,
which finally eliminated fatally as above
stated. Some reports say that eight men and
one woman were shot. Other reports give
the number six men and one woman. In
tense excitement prevails, and it is feared
more bloodshed will follow

Prescott, Baker & Baker for ptf. Libbey and

and surgeon. The ptf. while at work in his
field in May 1870, dislocated the bones of his

care of it. On getting about again after
many weeks of painful confinement, he found
himself with misshapen and greatly i'm
paired limb, and he brings this action against

SHE CANNOT BE RAISED.

New York, so. The U. S. corvette Ossi.

Oft the Battery about 80 o'clock.

the Ossipee was assigned the duty of bringing
the Virginius into this port.
When the Ossipee was signal,ed last night
no Virginius appeared in sight. When the
Ossipee was boarded the apparent mystery
was explained, and the startling intelligence
communicated that the Virgnius, being all
along in a leaky condition, had, when off
Cape Fear and in sight of land, in spite of the
efforts of the crew aboard her, settled and
went to the bottom.
The Osspees officers refused to tell any
thing, the captain observing that he had strict
orders not to communicate with anybody re-
garding the laundering of the Virginins.

WINpnAM, Dee. Goth, 1873.
The inhabitants of this town celebrated
Christmas in the old time manner. There
were some half dozen "trees" in town from
which many hearts long expectant had their
anticipation changed to realization, and San
ia Claus went home lightly laden. At Wind
ham Centre the tree was exhibited in the
town house, and every foot of sitting and
standing room was filled. The spectators
were entertained with drama, "Cinderella'
which strongly reminded US of that saying of
Virgil's, "eariuns ct mutabile semper femina."
1t began showing and blowing here Friday
forenoon and continued until Sunday after
noon, with few hours intermission ON Sat-
urday. The roads are badly drifted, and
shovelers are now brskly at work.

BIDDEFOlsD.
A Verdict by the C0rOner's Jury on the
Eastern II. X. Disaster.
Four Men Censured,

Biddeforl, So The jury of inquest on the
late Eastern Railroad accident have brought
their arduous labo.s to close. They have
hald secret sessions as if most heavy respon-
sibilities rested upon them, although the
coroner said the matter was of no interest to
the public. They were in session all night,
and at A. NJ. brought in a verdict which ac-
counts for the accident and loss of life by the
incompetency and negligence Of Mr.. Wing,
the dispatcher, the gross errors in judgment
of White, the Kennebunk operator, and the
culpable recklessness of Petite, the conductor,
and Morrison, the engineer of the down
freight
The verdict excites much comment, as the
testimony in the papers, which is all the pub
lie have, does not warrant it. To suppose
that the men of train would knowingly
rush forward to certain death or great risk, is
absurd; yet the verdict presumes that such
was the case. The exoneration of Mr.. Wing
was considered certain by the public gener-
ally, as it would seem, by the little nforma-
ton he had Of train w and the orders he gave
together with the rules of the Eastern road
which should have been obcyed, that he did
his duty

INDIANA.

roads. The Vincennes railroad is running
its passenger trains regularly. Rumors are
still current of general strike on all the

From present appearances the strike is near
ly at an end.
