Complications Between England and
spain-The Punishment of Burrieli
TO be Demanded-Etc.
NEW YORK, December 2l.-A special
despatch, dated Key West, December 20,
says: Information reached here from Ha-
vana yesterday which, if authentic, is
highly important. 1t was rumored there
that serious complications in regard to
Cuba have arisen, it is understood, between
the Spanish and British governments.
Precisely what these difficulties are does
not yet appear, but it is certain the Brit
ish West India squadron is to be speedily
and largely increased. 1t is stated that
the English government intends some in
reference in Cuban affairs, and in such a
manner as to complicate the relations of
that government with Spain.
LATER.-Since the last dispatch was
sent it has become known here that the
British consul-general at Havana has re-
ceived dispatches from Lord Granville to
instruct all naval commanders in the West
Indies to Immediately rendezvous in Cuban
ports.
1t is stated that in official circles it is GER
tainly known that the British government
will assuredly demand the punishment of
Burriel.
The British admiral has left for st.
Thomas, where he expects to be relieved.
WASHINGTON, December 2l.-It is
stated that the United States has no informa-

A JUSTICE ofithe peace in Illinois,
before whom citizen had prosecuted his
daughters lover for ejecting him from his
own parlor the Sunday evening previous,
solemnly decided as follows "It pears
that this young feller was courtin' the
plaintiffs gal, in plaintiff parlor, and that
plaintiff intruded, and was put out by the
defendant. Oourtin' is public necessity,
and must not be interrupted. Therefore,
the law of Illinois will hold that parent
has no legal right in a room where courtin
is afoot, and so the defendant is discharged
and the plaintiff must pay costs. - ~

my surprise, however, at meeting her in Rich

Richmond, she declared better than any city
she had visited of its size in this country, and
was enthusiastic in her praise of the equestrian
monument in the Capitol Square, which she re-
garded as superior to that of Frederick the
Great at Berlin. She was specially charmed
with the view from CANDLES and Libby's hills,
and pronounced the steeple of St. Paul's church
the most graceful sne had ever seen.
Stopping suddenly, she added: "By.the.way,

AN AGED INDIAN.--Bettie Whittle,
one among the last of the o)d.style Pa
munky Indians, died this morning on Third
street, at one hundred and one years OF
age. This antiquated woman was always
highly esteemed by the white folks of that
name in Williamsburg, Norfolk, Peters,
burg, and elsewhere, who claimed partial
ownership over her to keep her out of the
reach of the former mayors and other Off
GERS of the commonwealth by virtue of
laws then existing in regard to free negroes.
A favorite as she was among the white
folks in slavery times, certain suspicious
free negroes kept aloof from her then,
making her associations for the most part
among the white people. Bette, when
youngwas noted for her remarkable beauty
and sprightliness. She is gone, leaving a
good name behind her, to be initiated by
her children and grandchildren. s'
