The following special despatch to the

LONDON, August 13, 1873.
The HERALD correspondent in Madrid tele-
graphs the following special news report
SPANISH SAILORS UNDER ARREST BY THE PRUs-
SLAMS.
A further point Of international complica-
ton has arisen from the interference of the
Prussian war frigate Frederick Charles in
Spanish affairs. The difficulty presents thus:-
Eight hundred Spanish sailors were de-
spatched by the Madrid government from
Alicante to Escombrato, with orders to take
possession of the national iron-clads Vittoria
and Salamanca, which had been seized by
the insurgents, and were, subsequently,
arrested by the Prussians.
The Spanish officers were refused possession
Of the ships by Captain Werner, of the Impe-
rial German Navy, commanding the Frederick
Charles on the ground that he had not re-
ceived authority to deliver them from the Min
istry in Berlin. The Spanish sailors were
consequently, obliged to remain in position
where they were at once menaced by and
placed at the mercy Of the insurgents
Thereupon the Prussan Captain (Werner)
declared the large body Of Spanish sailors
who were engaged in the duty Of naval
reclamation, as well as the steamers which
had brought them to his post of command, to
be ''under his protection and that of the
government Of the Emperor Of Germany
RADICAIIsT PROTEST AGAINST THE NAVAL. ROLE.
The Intransigentes declare that the Spanish
Government transport steamers must leave
Escombrato; or, in case of refusal they Will
open fire on them without regard to the
Prussians.
COMING TO THE CENTRE OF MAZE OF A
COMPLICATION.
Thus, by small degrees, Captain Werner s
FIRST blunder in interfering in the matter of
the arrest of the Spanish iron n-clads leads both
the captain himself and the Berlin govern
ment further and further into the Spanish
quarrel
