occupied several nights, but the final plate was
not cut through till last night. The burglars used

sQUABBLE.
LONDON, April l, 1875
Madrid despatch says that among the specn-
cations in Concha's charges against Jovellar is
one that when Concha was Captain General or
Cuba he had occasion to seDu General Riguelme
home for insubordination. When the latter re-
turned to Spain, Jovellar, who had become Minis
ter OF War, approved his conduct and subse-
quently promoted him.
THE >MoNARoH AND THE MINISTRY PLACED IN A
DIFFICULTY.
The government nnds 1t difficult to defend 10
vellar from these accusations. An old Spanish
law prohibits the appointment OF an Ex-Governor
or q colony to any public post until formal inquiry
has been had into his past administration.
IL Is understood that in General J0vellar's case
no such inquiry has taken place since his return
from Cuba, aud this circumstance may be used as
a pretext for requiring his withdrawal from the
