DEFIANT ATTITUDE OF THE HAVANEsR.
A letter from Havana says the people there
would refuse TO allow any order from Madrid 20
deliver up the Nirginius or make other repara-
ton Tor her seizure and the execution OF her
crew to be carried out. Preparations for de
fence are being actively pushed forward. Guns
are being mounted at all suitable pOinfs -
yertisements appear in different papers for an
unlimited number of lsbOrers TO work on the
arsenals. The volunteers have orders 10 drill
two or three times a week.
The Ios De Cuba says in regard TO the report
from Washington that Castelar, has teleeraphed
10 the captain General to execute no more OF
the Nrginius prisoners -" IL cannot be true
since the sentences have been imposed by the
tribunal of justice in accordance with our law
The executive Of the Spanish republic has not
sufficient power TO issue such an absurd order"
IL says the Captain General OF the island. IN or
der 10 eNiinguish the rebellion. has the power 10
impose the death penalty on any one taken in
acts OF treason and force against the govern
ment, and asks:-ssHow then, would the exec
utiye Of the Spanish republic dare 20 govern in
contravention of law and to override Justice
exposing his authority to contempt, merely TO
please certain foreign pirates@'

WASHINGTON AND THE W. c. V. NJ. & G. S
X. H. CoMPASY.-ln his late annual report
PRESIDENT John y. Barbour, Of the Washington
City, Virginia Midland ard Great Southern
railroad company, says, relative 10 the north
cru connections of the road, that north OF Alex
andria they have been disturbed by the removal
OF the track in the streets of Washington city
by the public authorities, which heretofore az
foTded a connection with the line from Alex-
andria to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad sta
ton in hat city, which cut OFT the tranSpOrta-
ton of through freightS, and compelled trans
fer of passengers and baggage by omnibus 70
the great inconvenience of the travelling pub
lie. As all efforts to procure Congressional
legislation failed to secure the object, the Bal
tmore and Ohio railroad company entered into
a contract with the Washington CITY and Point
LOOKOUT railroad company, who held a char
tered privilege for the purpose, to lease so much
OF their branch road, when built, a. would ex-
tend from Bladensburg 10 a point on the POto-
mac opposite Alexandria, distance of about
II miles. This line has been in progress of con-
struetion for several months, and Is expected 70
be finished in January. When CONNECTED in
conjunction with barges propelled by steam of
capacity TO carry a train of cars without tran
shipment across the river, will afford cheap
and direct route for the traffic passing between
your road at Alexandra and the baltimore
and Ohio railroad. The river can be crossed
by this plan in few minutes. and the DELAY AVID
expense of running freight trains through the
corporate limits of Washington CITY be avoided
While the proposed arrangement will answer
the purposes of through business, il does not
meet the requirements of the company 10 reach
Washington with its trains directly for the
trade and travel proper of that important point
Negotiations have been opened with the com
pany now operating the line of railroad between
Alexandria and Washington, for trackage for
the trains of this company over their line so a.
to secure direct communication 10 Washington
as terminal point. The proposal has beer
favorably entertained, and terms will probably
be agreed upon, to take effect at any early date
III this should, however, unexpectedly fail, the
company will have TO obtain from Congress the
necessary authority to extend its line into the
city OF Washington by another route. A line of
railway extending from the Potomac TO the
North Carolina border will present proportions
of too much magnitude to be denied direct
access to the national capital!

spain

Is becoming involved in a series of troubles which
seem as If they would crush her, and destroy her
national existence. Her internal commissions are
enough for her weak government to contend
with, which seeks the form of a Republic
but has not its reality and strength. And
even the republican form is to be denied it, if we
may credit the latest news by telegraph, which
states that President CASTELAR, will soon be de-
posed by a combination of the ruling Spanish
mobiles, who are too strong for him to resist The
plan includes the establishment of Marshal Ser
rano as Regent for the young Duke AlfoDzo, who,
at certain time, is to be proclaimed king; his
queen mother, Isabella, Indicating her claims to
the throne in bis favor The quick succession of
events in Spain has proved the insUificiency OF
CASTELAR, and the government he assumes to con-
troll to cope with the dIsafection Of his cabinet,
the INSTRUMENTATION in the army, and the struggle
of the Carist forces. In addition to this, .he
power of the priesthood has been secretly and
most powerfully at work undermining republican
ism in Spain and the hereditary oligarchy of that
nation has united its strength with the Church to
bring about this result 1t is also undoubtedly
true that the meaning of Casiear's action towards
pacific solution of the United States difficulty
has precpitated the overthrow OF the Republic
and the re-establishment Of a Bourbon dynasty.
