MADRID, December 31.-A further
earthquake shock was experienced

1900 people few miles from Malaga

A thousand houses at Albania are in
ruins, The work of searching the de
bris for dead bodies of victims OF the

recovered. The shocks yesterday were
also felt more or less severely else
where throughout the province of Ma
laga and through Grenada. They oc-
in the morning. There was further loss Of

The Ki.g of Burglars.

MONTREAL, December 31.-The police
authorities believe the recent robbery of
ten thousand dollars from Lefevre's
iewelry store, Notre Dame street, was
planned and carried out by Jones, the
noted chief of American burglars. Some
years ago Jones was sentenced to seven
wears in the penitentiary for robbery,
but owing to his health and influence
he succeeded lately in getting the term
commuted. Lefevre was foreman of
the grand jury that returned true bills
against Jones, and it is thought the lat
was head of adroit and desperate gangs
of burglars in New York and Chicago.
He is said to be an extensive real estate
owner in Chicago, all made out OF his
robberies.

The striking Miners.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, December 3f.-Of-
fcers of the Hooking Valley railway and
GOAL exchange report everything quiet in
theYaIley this morning, though they eH-
press the opinion that there will be
some trouble tonight. They say the
demonstrations last night failed to take
an active form for the reason that the
strikers met with such strong fo~ce of
guards where they expected to make an
attack. They consider. the unusual
demonstrations this time as an effert to
keep the miners from breaking from
their ranks and going to work, as many
OF them have decided to do. Early this

During the siege there had been . good
deal Of friendly sparring between the SOL
diers Of the two armies on picket and
,phefe the lines were close together. All
rebels were known as "Jchnnies," all
Union troops as " Yants.p Often Johnny"
would call, "Well, Yank, when are you
coming into town?' The reply was some
times, "Wo propose to celebrate the
Fourth Of July there" Sometimes 1t
would he, ave always treat our prisoners
with kindness and do not want to hurt
them; or ave are holding you as pris-
oners OF war while you are feeding your
Selves" etc. The garrison, from the Com
mandipg General down, undoubtedly
expected an assault on the Fourth. They
knew from the temper OF their men that 1t
would lie successful when made, and that
would DO greater humiliation than to
surrender. Besides, 1t would be attended
with severe loss to them. The Vicksburg
paper (which we received regularly
through the courtesy Of the rebel pickets)
said prior to the 4th, in speaking OF The
Yankee boast that they would lake din
ner in vicksburg that day, that the best
receipt for cooking rabbit was, First
ketch your rabbit The paper at this
time, and for some time prior, was printed
on the plain side Of wall paper. The last
edition was issued on the 4th, and
announced that we had caught our
