The Cause OF the Trouble Between
Natives and Foreigners at La Paz.
BAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16, 1874.
Toe steamship Newbern brings some informa-
ton concerning the trouble between foreigners
and natives at La Paz, Mexico. When the United
States steamer Saranac arrived at La Paz the
story came out that Mr.. II. s. Brooks superin-
'tendent OF . mine Ct Trunto, who I bad asked for
Tne RIeseace OF vessel OF war on the ground that
the troops only awaited an excuse to attack and
sack his hacienda, had really been accused Of
selling damaged -four to hts men. An examine
tlon was ordered by the Judge OF the district and
the damaged nour was found IN the store, when
the matter was referred to higher court.
After the Saranac's arrival a gang Of men,
San Jose Of $4,000.
In consequence OF a rumor that project was
on foot TO rob Trunto and La Paz the garrison was
strengthened and additional troops were placed
at the disposal OF Mr.. Brooks. The next develop.
ment was disagreement between the Mexican
soldiers and Mr.. Brooks forces. Hostilities were
only prevented by the Intervention OF Captain
etanaing between all the parties was finally
reached. The Mexican authorities claimed that
Mr. BROOKS was trying to create q disturbance,
and ne retalfated by making counter charges.
UNITED STATES NAVAL OFFICER TO REPORT.
The United States Consul, not having been con-
suited. did not figure in the complications, and
until the Captain OF the Saranac submits his ofi-
cal statement dispassionate statement OF the
trouble cannot be expected.

Mr. Days version Of the drama OF "Man and

TIE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE IN CUBA.
What tie Havana Papers Think OF the Amer.
lean State Document.
General Grant Superior to Emperor William a.
an Exponent Of Spanish AfHairs-will For
eigners Intervene to Stay the War
Against the Indian Tribesi

HAVANA, Dec. 10, 1874
The Message OF President Grant is generally
discussed without excitement by the people, who
do not atrach much importance to the illusions to
Spain and Cuba. The authorities give no sign OF
their opinion, but the journals have lengthy edi.
torlals, which, while they are not considered to
reflect the sentiments OF the people in general,
may suit the views oil the parties they respectively
represent.
WHAT THE HAVANA PAPERS SAY OF THE AMERICAN
MESSAGE.
The Voz de Cuba says-'The silence observed on
Spanish AFFAIRS by the German Emperor IN his
speech TO the Reichstag Is amply compensated for
In President Grants Message. 1t IL noticeable
coincidence that while the United States aspircs
to supremacy In America and Germany to
supremacy in Europe, both are anxious
to meddle with the internal Affairs In Spain.
Aside fIom the desire OF these nations to
have peace In Spain, her anairs cannot interest
them so much as ourselves, and we must view
their efforts with suspicion. Russia imposed
silence on Germany. We do not know who will
make Grant silent. As Tor the insurrection here,
on the strength and duration OF which the Presi-
dent lays stress, 1t Is less powerful now than 1t
was at the beginning. and its endurance fails to
give 1t any significance. We doubt II any Power
will interfere in Spanish AFFAIRS at least In cuba
but should they attempt Intervention we are pre-
pared to repei IT,"
The DiariO de la Marina in an article moderate
In tone, says:-"There is nothing In the Message
to cause alarm TO the most timid. The present
condition OF AFFAIRS is not 10 be compared with
that of last year. There has been some excite
ment in the gold market over reports about the
Message, to which we attribute the rise OF eight
per cent In the premium.n
THE SPANISH MILITARY SITUATION AND THE IDEA
OF FOREIGN INTERVENTION.
Referring TO the military situation, the Dtario
declares that affairs have improved in the Eastern
Department, while they show no change since the
autumn OF 1873 In the Central Department owing
to continuous rains and the many thousands OF
SICK In the army. AS for the rebels, only about Q
dozen OF their original leaders remains the others
are dead or have lett the island. Their army num-
bers from 5000 to 5000 men. the larger majority OF
whom are negroes and Cinnamon. The leaders
ho.d out Tor the sake OF the power they enjoy re.
garding 1t as compensation Tor their troubles. The
negroes refuse to surrender because they mis-
takenly believe that they will be reduced to their
former condition OF slavery If they give up.
Ths p1or.o q. pegQlqass that foreign nations can,
but viii not, interfere iii the internal affairs Of the
island. II the duration OF war Is q good reason
