The Deposition Of Cespedes-The Charges
Against Him. s.r,, ,-r-
The Io- de Cuba publishes extracts from
letters recently captured from the Cubans
the originals of which it claims to have in
it's possession. 90 . 1T ''4ol
One from General Figureda to Maximo
Gomez, referring to the deposition of Presi-
dent Cespedes, says: "The members of the
new government proceeded to the residence
of Cespedes to obtain the archives of the
republic. Cespedes at first refused to give
them up. but finally yielded, being forced
to do So
The charges upon which Cespedes was
removed are, according to Figuerda's let
Ter, as follows: First, the abandonment of
the CincOvillas district: second, the viola
tion of article twenty-six Of the conetitu-
ton; third, placing obstacles in the way of
new deputies, 90 that they could not fulfill
their duties; fourth, after the removal of
said obstacles, attempting to bribe the
deputies from the CincOvillas district by
offers of the Ministry of War to Spotorro.
and command Of the Cincovillas district to

Figuerda adds other accusations even
greater, such as having calumniated the leg

with antagonists abroad, and lastly, threat,
ening to declare the members Of the Cuban
Congress rebels if they deposed him.

Death of Else Holt.

By telegraph comes the announcement
that Miss Elise Holt died In Pittsburg on
the twenty eighth instant. This lady, known
to us as clever little actress in burlesque
roles, was born in Lndon, July IL, IS47,
and made her first appearance at the Surry
Gardens Theatre as danseuse and comic
vocalist in 1863. She came to this country
in 1868, and made herAmerican debut at
the Olympic Theatre, Bosten, in the bur-
lesque of ''Lucretia Bogia," and became at
once great tavorite. 1t will be remem-
bered that she was Obliged to prematurely
close her late engagement in this city on
account of severe illness, from which, it
appears, she never fully recovered. At the
time of her death Miss Holt was the wife
of Mr.. Harry Wall, the actor

What Is to be Done " ith the Virgfnfus.
WASHINGTON, December 29-It has been

on the arrival of the Virginius at New
York, she will be seized by the collector of
the port and libeled by the district attor.
ney, in accordance with instructions al.
ready forwarded to those officers If, on
judicial investigations it is shown that the
vessel had a register obtained by fraud, she
will be sold. and the proceeds of the sale
paid to the United States.
Spain can make no claim to the vessel;
but if she should, it is positively certain
our government would not entertain such
claim. The report that the Spanish govern
ment requires of the United States the res
titution Of the Virginius and the payment
of indemnity is not believed in official
quarters.
An Official Examination.
New YORK, December 29.-The steam
ship Georgia is at this port, from Charles
ton. She passed the Virginius in tow off
Cape Roman. on the twenty fourth, at
2P NJ
The Tribune says when the Juniata ar
rived to-day District Attorney Bliss and
Assistant Commissioner Davenport, with a
number OF stenographers and an interpre-
ter, boarded her and began an official ex-
animation of the Virginius prisoners The
proceedings were kept secret.
The Herald correspondent on the JuDiata,
says: Some of the yirginius prisoners at
Santiago were compelled to testify at the
point of the sword, and threatened with 10

most parents, who take the boys away from
school to assist in the support of the family,
while the girls are allowed to remain.
Take it all in all, however, the showing
made by the schools this year is very
creditable one. The number of schools
has been increased, while the number of
pupils in attendance is larger than has ever
been before. Teachers, too, mention the
fact that the parents of pupils are taking
an interest in the schools, and frequently
visit them. This is encouraging alike to
pupil and teacher, and the freqent visits of
parents is urged
The school directors are taking much in
terest in their trusts. and in many wards
not week passes but they visit some of
the schools in their jurisdiction. Superin-
tendent Boothby, also, has devoted his
whole time and attention to the schools in
his division. Every school in the city has
been visited and examined by him during
the last month. and though now and then
he finds room for improvement, he expresses
much qualification at the condition in which
he finds the schools, at the earnestness and
fidelity of the teachers and the esprit du
c0rDs of the pupils 80

Destructive CONFEDERATION,

One of the most distinctive fires that
has fallen upon this parish for many years
took place on Sunday last About p. M.
the fine sugar-h0use on the plantation of
Messrs. Bernard & Levere formerly Isl
dor Daigle's), about two miles below Brusle
landing, was discovered to be in flames, and
despite the utmost efforts d the plantation
hands and all others present was totally de-
stroyed. The loss of the building was a
heavy blow, but when we tell our read
ers that l62 hogsheads of sugar and be-
tween forty and fifty barrels Of molasses
were burnt in the sugar house. some idea
of the loss may be reached. As we are
informed, Mr.. Bernard, who has Just re-
turned from the city, visited the sugar
house about twelve O'Clock, that day, and
found everything as it should have been,
and in two hours afterwards, building and
contents were swept away. So rapid
were she flames, and so Intense the heat,
that neither sugar Or moasses could be
saved. Two causes are assigned for this
deplorable loss-frst, in9ndiarism, and
second, from lot of lime in the cooler
room. There was no insurance on the crop
and only 5000 on the sugar house-barely
oRe-fourth Of its value The value of the
crop consumed is roughly estimated at
SlS,000 a heavy loss indeed in times like
these, when money is so difficult to handle
We deeply sympathize with Messrs. Ber-
nard g. Leverre in their loss and hope they
may be enabled to restore their sugar house
and make larger crop next year.-Sugar
Planter.

Patters0n's Statement.
John F. Patterson, of this city, has sent a
letter to Secretary Fish, dated the twenty
sixth, declaring that he is the registered
owner of the steamer Virginius. He pro.
tests against the opinion OF the Attorney
General, by which he is condemned, un-
heard, on exparte testimony. He states
that the Solicitor of the Treasury gave him
bill of sale ct the steamer; thereupon, he
-(PattersOn) truly swOre that he was the
owner, ana the government gave her Amer
lean register. Eit --
Any testimony, says he, charging perjury
on his part is false. He has hitherto Kept
silence by the advice of counsel, and be-
cause he has not been notified or called
upon by the government to testify or de-
tend himself in relation to the matter He
requests that copy of the evidence upon
which the Vir.inius was condemned by the
Attorney General be sent him, and that he
be notified of the time and place for the
examination of any other witnesses. A
copy of the letter has been sent to the At
tOrney General.

last Saturday, ostenslbly for the purpose of
taking into consideration the agricultural

being organized it appeared that the sole
purpose of the managers was to secure the
Endorsement of Judge Cole, the present dis
trict judge, whose name comes before the
S'nate for confirmation at the coming ses-

refused to do, as also to indorse the action
of the parties engaged in the persecution
of Superintendent George B. Loud.
Resolutions complimentary to Senator
Wharton were adopled; consequently, the
