TURED BY THE SPANISH REPUBIICAND-A
LETTER INITIATING THE DANGER OF W1
MISSION.

Mr.. Cecil auckland. lately appointed by the
New York Times as its special correspondents
at the headquarters Of Don Carlos, was cap
tured by the Republicans few days ago aid
shot.
MI. auckland was young Englishman Who
had been private secretary to Minister Jewell
at st. Petersburg.
When Mr. Jewell returned to the United
States as Postmaster General, Mr.. auckland
accompanied him, and it was on Mr.. Jewella
recommendation that he was placed ON the
Times staff of foreign correspondents. He
reached London three or four weeks ago and
wrote thence, and afterward from Paris, high
~ interesting letters. He left Bordeaux 1oI
Bayonne on the night of the 30th of Septem-
Der. His last letter to the Times, under that
date, contains the following paragraphs.
which embody statements that seem to 1bre-
shadow not only the fact but the very manner
of his tragic death:
In less than twelve hours anticipate being
within few miles of the contested territory.
The circumstances under which am travel
ing are somewhat peculiar, for have fallen in
with dangerous companion. So dangerous,
indeed, is the individual in question that
might almost as safely carry q torpedo in my
portmanteau or a package of nitro )ycerine
in my pocket as to continue in his company.
y This formidable individual 10
none other than real live "OAr-
list Commissioner (Mr. Fraucis JeE-
rard of the Inner Temple, London), young
English baIrister, who is on his way 70 Ne
Carlist headquarters as the representative q

him cut for the purpose of forwarding par
ticulars of engagements, ETC., which may
come under his personal observation, or Tie
details which are furnished TO him. So fhr -
outward appearances ere concerned he looks
enough-so does Schneider bullst
and the danger attached to travelling with
him is consequent upon the fact that he hao
concealed upon his person certain dispatches
and letters to headquarters, which, if he should
be captured by the Republicans With these
papers about him, win insure his speedy sus-
pension from the nearest tree, or-as trees aTe
few and far between in Spain-an ounce a
which prize fighters designate as "the place
in which he lives" And in the event Of, my
being captured in his company, in spite of The
papers carry about me proving that come
from New York, the chances are decidedly in
favor Of my sharing his fate. In his way my
compagnon de voyage is rather witty fellow,
but he has q nasty knack of discovering at The
last moment, when packing up before leaving
o hotel, that he has NOT room in his valise for
certain suspicious-looking documents with big
red seals, and having made this discovery. 10.

can not find q place for them in my port
manteau.
Up to the present time have not refused
his request, but after leaving Bayonns mean
to steal march on him by laying in stock
of eatables which will FIJI up every available
square inch in my portmanteau. II should
have the good fortune to be taken by the Re-
publicans and to send you an account Of ny
treatment by that party, mean to be tried
upon my own merits alone, and shall therefore
hand over this Hanging matter" to my
friend before crossing the frontier.
A later dispatch brings information that
Mr.. Jerrard was also shot by the Republicans.
