The Republican minority in the SEN

in the senate protest against the spec

of the senate records. 1t was in full as
follows:
Whereas, the Hon. J. w. Leedy, gov
ernor of the state of Kansas, has, as we
believe, without sanction of constitution
or law, and from insincere or sinister
motive, issued a pretended call for the
purpose of cOnvening the legislature OF
the state of Kansas in special session.
and
Whereas, He recites in said pretended
call, as sole grounds therefor, legisla-
ton which in various forms he has
already heretofore submitted: hrst, TO
a session of this legislature, and which
he himself afterwards vetoed; and sec
Ond, to the people at large, which they,
after full discussion and consideration,
have repudiated, and
Whereas, BY seeking now to convene
this legislature, he violates all the
usages and precedents of the state and

THE CUBAN BLOCK AIDE.
Occasional Exchange of ShOts-1O,OOO
Spanish Troops Near Matanxas.


KEY WEST, Fla, June II, 1850 a. m.-An
auxiliary gunboat, which arrived here this
morning from off Havana, reports that all
is quiet along the blockade line. Small gun
boats of the enemy still make efforts to
lure some of the American ships within
range of the batteries, but barring an oc-
casional exchange of shots. which do no
damage on either side. nothing of conse-
quence has lately occurred.
The gunboat which has been on the Ha-
vana blockade for three weeks past, had on
board Major Prado and two aids from Col.
Roja's insurgent forces. They were the
bearers of important dispatches for the Gu
ban leaders in the United States Major
Prado and his companions left the interior
of MatanZas on June 4, and made their way
through the sWamps to the coast near Car
that place for seven days eluding the Span
ish troops, but eventually eontrived to get a
small boat, in which they rowed off to the
nearest ship of the American squadron. The
Cuban major says there are between ten
thousand and fifteen thousand Spanish
troops under General Molina, in. Matanzas
province, the greater number of them being
concentrated close to the coast between Ma
tanZas and Cardenas, evidently prepared to
attempt to repel the invasion of American
troops The Cuban forces Major Prado also
says number between six thousand and
eight thousand men in the same territory.
Both sides are reported to be we'll armed,
but soreIy in need of provisions, especially
in the case of the insurgents. The Spaniards,
it appears, have no corn for their horses,
and are feeding them on rice.
Major Prado and his companions say
there is absolutely no truth in the report
persistently circulated here yesterday of
the bombardment of Cardenas day or two
ago.
Major Prado says, also that General
Betancourt holds Purgatorio hills. twelve
miles from MatanZas, with two thousand
men. There was no fighting in May, ex-
cept about the goth, when six companies of
Spanish guerrillas attacked the Cuban posi-
ton and were repulsed All General Betan-
courts army. except the staff is infantry.
The troops cover a wide stretch of territory,
and the main camp, with four hundred men,
covers square mile and half. The men
are well armed and the discipline is good,
but they lack ammunition.
Food is still scarce. Major Prado adds,
but is more abundant now than it was a
month ago, when weeds and palm buds were
eaten. Sweet potatoes and pumpkins are
now ripe.
On May 80 when Major Prado left Purga-
torio hills General Gomez was still at his
favorite camp, near Santo Espiritu.

Spelling FOR A FIGHT.
BiancO's Soldiers Hope to Lick the
Yankees and Invade FIOridn.

LNhNDON. June 1.-THE Pail Mall Ga
zette publishes a dispatch from its special
correspondent now at Kingston, Jamaica
who recently landed in Cuba and was cap
tured and subsequently released by the
Spaniards. He cables among other things
that the defenses of Matanzas have been
greatly strengthened. adding that a battery
of six heavy guns unknown to the Ameri-
cans, has been completed in the east har-
Dor, and he says that similar battery on
the opposite side is in course of eonstruc-
ton.
According to the Pail Mall Gazette CORE
spondent the Spaniards are spelling for a
fight. and they anticipate that after defeat
ing the American fleet they will invade
Florida, where General Molina has prom
ised his troops to put the entire population
to the sword.
The Spaniards, it seems, explain the
tom by saying the American shells, mot
ably those of the Cincinnati, are defective, -
adding that numbers of them have not eX-
ploded and saying that no damage has been
done ashore.
The country between the cities of Matan-
zas and Havana is described as being rich
in cattle, abundant in crops and profuse
in citizens. Continuing, the Pail Mall Ga
zette writer remarks: "Matanzas a week
ago estimated that it had flour to last ten
days, meat for a month and plenty of fish
and vegetables. There were no, signs of
starvation and prices were about the same
as in America"
Concerning Havana, the correspondent of
the Pail Mall Gazette asserts that nobody
would imagine that Havana is blockaded.
there is general aspect of gayety.
When the American war ships were sighted
crowds rushed to the seashore. jeered at the
Americans and then returned home merrily.
The city of Havana is pronounced to be alb
normally crimeless and the 10000 Spanish
volunteers are described as being RESPONSE
BILE men, well equipped and capable of over

There is said to be enough coal in Havana
to last two months. and CAPTAIN General
Blanco is reported to have limited the prices
of staple articles, to have cut rents in half
and to have abolished the payment of inter-
est loans. Nevertheless. the CORE
spondent adds prices have doubled owing
to the depreciation of silver. But the news
paper man is of the opinion that prices will
probably fall. owing to the systematic run
ming of the blockade. which is ineffective"
In conclusion the correspondent says: 1.-THE
citizen army is fiercely eager to fight, and
it's officers denounce the idea of a compro-
mise"

CONSTANTINOPLE, June 1.-THE out
break of the Albanians at Berane. near the
frontier of Montenegro, the gravity OF
which is comparative to the troubles pre-
ceding the Servia-Montenegro war against
Turkey in 1876, is due to revenge taken by
scme Christians on the Albanian murderers
of a Christian notable last autumn. The
A!banians n remote districts participated
in the recent outbreaks. In consequence of
the renewed representations of Montenegro,
supported by Russia, the Sultan has dis
patched troops to the disturbed districts
from Uskub. There was fighting all day
Thursday and many were killed or wounded
on both sides. According to Cettinje adj
vices many women and children who were
fleeing towards Montenegro have been
killed by Albanians.

early reports that the Turks had resumed
the work of burning villages are fully con-

seven hundred houses belonging to Servian
Christians have been burned. The Turks
are committing horrible atrocities and two
Servian women have been barbarously muir
dered.
