The tidings with regard to Cuba are serious

There can be but little doubt that the ultima

cost Alfonzo his throne to listen to the idea Of the

voked. johnson stood over line board fence,
and without word passing between him or the
party, raised his axe, which he had brought from
his house some distance off, and gave Mr.. Drisko
blow in the face with the poll of the axe, making
q fearful wound just above the temple. Mr..
Drisko fell unconscious, and was carried to Mr..
Spragues house, o quarter of . mile distant,
where his wounds were dressed. johnson has
been terror in his neighborhood for years and
has threatened the lives of more than one. He is
now where he ought to have been years ago, and
the neighbors breathe easier. Mr.. Drisko suffers
considerably from his wound, but - no bones
were broken, and his brain is net affected, it is
sincerely and confidently hoped that his wounds
may speedily heal and he be able to soon attend to
his usual business.

The City OF Waco.

Galveston, November "a. AHidavits taken of
different persons who made dgent search for
the lost passengers and crew of the City of Waco,
furnish a complete account Of all the information
obtained. The evidence of Lemuel Brown, in
surance agent; also, of the officers of the ting and
the captain of the schooner Calcas, which picked
up the foremost Of the City of Waco, all agree
that the mast was burned off below the deck of
the vessel, showing that the fire must have origi-
mated below. The evidence of Capt. j. V. Saw
yer, Capt. J. b. Jobet and BENZ. Mannaring, who
were out two days cruising, shows that there were
at least 200 of oil found, floating, which had
never been scorched, and it appears that this
oil was certainly thrown overheard before the fire
reached the deck of the Waco. The small boat
found, belonging to the vessel, floating bot
tom up and upon examination showed the prints
of footstep on the thwsrts. The lashings had
been cut and the oars were gone, showing that
some persons must have left the steamer in it.
Divers are now working at the wreck Of the City
Of Waco, and it is thought that further ntorma'
tion will be developed.
