SPAIN HAS THE SECRET.
Uncle Sans Cipher Dispatches to Lee Easily
Read BY SpsnIards.
MADRID GOVERNMENT KEPT INFORMED.
DIR. zertucha in Fear Of Meeting Ma
ceo's Fate-weyler's Determination
to Execute Rivera Excites Indigna-
ton in Havana.

The Havana correspondent of the
New York Mail and Express sends ths
following:
ION authority which believe to be
Trustworthy it has been learned that
certain Spanish officials here are in
possession of the key to the cipher code
used in Geographic communication be-
tween the COUNSEL general and the
State department at Washington. If
this be true the nature OF all CONT
dental dispatches that pass between
the government of the United States
and its representative in Cuba is
known not only in Havana but in
Madrid, for the home government is
kept closely in touch with the most
minute details of Cuban affairs. The
code used in the consular service is
complicated, and is believed to be alb
solutely secret. 1t could not, it is said,
be studied out even if part of it were
known. So if the Spaniards have the
key they have probably obtained il
from some one in Washington.
''Not word is transmitted by wire
from Havana to any point that does
not come under the eye of the censor,
excepting of course, official dispatches
to Madrid. All commercial cables are
subjected to seFptiny, and while it is
not admitted, all OF Gen. Lees mes
sages are known abontthe palace after
they are sent. The ~stors is not
vouched for, but the responsibility of
its author is such as to warrant its
publication. The charge is an Tex,
tremely serious one.
"Rumors that DIR. Zertuc ha, who
was charged with the betrayal of Ma
Geo, is dead, are without foundation.
He is still in Havana, but is in hiding.
'The fact that he has never been ar
rested by the Spanish authorities, al
though captured as an insurgent and
is under Spanish protection, corrobor-
ates the assertion made months ago
that he was spy employed for the
purpose of entrapping the Cuban
leader.
"Zertucha is in an unenviable posi-
ton. While protected by the Span
iards, he is detested by them, and they
are anxious he should leave Cuba. II
he does leave he will be liable to be
assassinated by some Of the Cuban ad-
mirers of Maceo. Several of them have
sworn Zertucha shall die for his per-
fidity, and his life viii be no safer in
the United States than il is now in
Cuba. When he leaves here, if he
ever does, he will 90 to New York"

NEW RAILROAD.
A Franchise Through the City of
San Diego Asked For.

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 7.-U. S. Grant
and other gentlemen comprising a COM
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce
have applied to the City Council for a
railroad franchise in this city on a
parallel with the franchise Of the Santa
Fe Company.
The petitioners agree to begin con-
struction work by January i, 1854 and
to operate the road by January j 19U.
A. E. Mutt, the Secretary of the COM
mittee, thus explains the applications:
THE committee" said Mr.. Mutt, has
received encoura cement that a railroad
running from here to the Colorado Riv-
err can be built, and the parties who
would take hold of the matter first re
quire that a franchise be secured
through the city. If the Council will
grant the franchise under the condi-
tions asked for, that will clear any de-
lay on that account, and may possibly
result in the line being built. On the
other hand, should some other bona
fide proposition come up whereby a
railroad giving us an eastern outlet can
be built, then the committee Will turn
over the franchise granted them
through the city"
