London,May 12.-The Morning Stand
ard a conservative organ has a lead-
ing article on the Alabama question
• ;ai)d speech of Sumner. The writer
reviews the rejative position of the
• United States and Great Britain, and
asserts that*raids and other outrages
perpetrated by American Fenians in
Canada during the past few years
more than overbalance the depreda-
tions committed by the Alabama on
American commerce. The Govern-
ment'of Great Britain in consenting
to? submit to neutral international
grievances to arbitration did more
than could be fairly demanded, and
±0.yield further would be an act of
cowardice and irreparable degreda-
.tinn, . '
' London, %ay 13—The Times to-
i <lay has an editorial on the rejected
Alabama treaty, wherein it is assert-
ed that the Government of Great
rSjitain in submitting to an arbitra-
tion on the question at all, conceded
-to everything that was originally de-
manded or expected by the American
people, and everything that itr was
-possible to concede.

Judge Lorenzo Sherwood, President
of Cheap Railway League is dead.
Internal Revenue Department de-
cides emphatically that sales of to*
bacco stamps to or from any other

'Several negroes representing an
organization Mown as the National
Colored Convention, visited Grant
and presented an address asking the
appointment of negroes North', as the
best, mean&of reconciling Southern
people to negro officers South. The
President said he would consider their

Havana, May 13 —Acceunts from
Spanish sources represent that after
the fight at Alta Gracia, Gen. Lezu
reached Puerto Principe with his
convoy, the insurgents being nnable
to detain him; and that the Cubans
lost 1,000 killed and wounded. The
Diario says 2,000, but the Yoz de Cu
ba doubts the correctness of the
Diaries information.
Li ton a, who made an official report
of affairs at Alta Gracia, gi\es few
details. He says tnat since the fight
the rebels cannot get together 2,000
men.' ' ;"'v

N%w Orleans, May 13.—The
steamship Mexico, which has been
lying at the wharf for several weeks
tookQre at2 o'clock this morning and
burned till she sunk at 6> a- m. No
cargo, or any combustible was known
to be on board. The fire was an*
doubtedly the work of an incendiary.
The Fire Inspector reports that the
vessel was.recently sold, it is rumored
to Cubans ; no insurance.
1 The crevasse reported several days
ago at the Villiere plantation below
the city, has been abandoned as hope-
less.- Repairs by negro soldiers and
plantation handa are washed away as
fast as constructed. The opening is
about 80 feet wide, 8 feet deep, and
at last accounts was increasing. An-
other crevasse occurred only half a
mile below the city limits last eve-
ning, but a company of negro sol-
diers promptly sent from the barracks,
closed it up and strengthened the
levee. The water is about two inches
below, high water mark, but is driven
by high north west winds sometimes
above the mark. <-
The wharves at the head of Poy-
dras and Lafayette streets are sub-
merged. Considerable alarm is felt
and a strict watch kept on the levees
on I he city front. 'Steamers Virginia
and Louisiana report that a serious
crevasse occurred Sunday at WeBt
Baton Ronge parish nearly opposite
Port Hudson. The Baton Rouge Ad-
vocate of Monday savs this crevasse
eansed a sudden fall of two inches in
the river at.that point; also, tttat all
attempts to close it will be'ineffectual,
owing to sandy soil and extent of
break, which was then sixty yards
wide. *-

A dispatch from Admiral Hoff, from
Havana, of the 6th, say she would be
absent a few days and relieve the Nar-
ragausett at Key West, to give the
officers and crew of the Comtocook a
change of air.
Matters are quiet,; but some dis-
satisfaction among the Cubans at that
end of the Island, at the manner in
which things are being carried on ;
the preseat state of inactivity, how-
ever has been caused by the time re-
quired to instruct and exercise men
in the use of arms, with a view of
resuming operations at the end of the
rainy season. *
Cespedes and Quesada have each
their bands acting separately and in-
dependently, with their own adher-
ents.
The Peruvian Monitor Franco
Marco, supposed to have been lost,

India squadron.
Havana, May 12—via Key West-
Private letters have been received
from rebel sources giving an account
of a battle on the 3d mat. at Los
Minas. The Spaniards numbered 1200,
under command of Lesca ; the revolu-
tionists were. commanded by Gen.
Quesada. One report says that be-
fore the fighting commenced Quesada
posted the native Cubans in front,
protected by entrenchments, ' and
placed 400 Dominican and American
volunteers in their rear, with orders
to fire upon them if they ran'. Thus
placed between two fires, the Cubans
fought with desperation. The Span-
iards attacked the entrenchments
three times with bayonet; the two
first assaults were repulsed by the
Cubans; the third was very de
termined and severe, and the Cubans
began to waver, when Quesada
ordered the rear guard to the
front they advanced driving the Cu-
bans into the front' ranks of the
enemy, a hand to band combat ensued
in which the butchery of the Cubans
was horrible. The Spaniards finally
gave way and retreated but in good
order: Their loss is estimated at one
hundred and sixty killed and three
hundred wounded, that of the Cubans
two hundred killed, proportionate
number of wounded. The forces of
Quesada after the fight marched.to
San Miguel and burned the town? In
sight of the retreating Spaniards.
It is generally believed that the
revolutionary leaders have changed
their policy and in the future will
fight instead of retreating to the
mountains on the appearance of any
Considerable force of the Government
troops.
In the battle at Altergracia on the
1st inBt., the Cuban loss was two
hundred and the Spanish one hundred
and eighty killed and wounded.
The Spaniards here regard the re-
sult of these actions as fatal to the
cause of the rebellion, but the Cubans*3
are jubilant over them as the first
great successes of the war for inde-
pendence.
Havana, May 14.—The usual ac-
counts of the engagements between
the Spaniards and Cubans have been
received; they are all magnified and
Arranged to suit both parties. The
charges of atrocities, assassinations
and crimes are made by the journals
and by private letter. Altogether,
the war news so far received is unre-
liable, and fighting, according to im-
partial correspondents, is insignifi-
cant!
Washington, May 15. — Special
mail brigs depart to establish the free

Rumors about Cuban Affairs.—
The World sayfi private dispatches
have been received from New Orleans,;
stating that the blockade runners
Peru and Lilian, engaged in carrying
filibusters from New Orleans to some
point contiguous to the Cuban Coast,
have landed^at the island of Grand
Inauqua, in the "Gulf, some twelve
hours by steam from the Florida
Keys, and the Filibusters have gone
into quarters and are waiting for re«
inforcements. J*
The World also insists that the
Arago did sail for Cuba with fourhun-*
dred and twenty men and eighty-four
officers, with General Giurrier..
Among the officers were Brig. General
Chas. May, Lieut. J. F. Magill, of the
Britishjartillery; Lieut. Edward Berre,
a French cavalry officer : Major
George In man,. Seventh Rhode Island
infantry ; Captain L C. Baily,* for
merly of the Fifth United States cav-
alry; Lieut. Thomas Fitzgibbons,
quartermaster; MajorELB. Martin,of
the Twentieth Pennsylvania cavalry;
Col. Warren, Colonel Reed, and Colo
nel Chas. Lester. ; •'-*.
The Wo'rld says four other vessels
sailed within three weeks o/ the first,
under Col. Johnson, taking five hun-
dred and fifty two men ; the second,
under Gen. Spinola, with three hun
dred men; the third with six hundred,
and the fourth, under Gen. French,
with five hundred and eighty men.
The World says: Within the last
thirty three days- we have positive
information that nine thousand men
have left the cities of Charleston,
Baltimore and New Orleans for a
point adjacent to the Cuban coast,
and for the island itself. Twenty-five
hundred have left the city of New
York and five hundred more are now
waiting to get off.
Our dispatches this morning an
nounce th6 death of Lorenzo Sher-
wood. Itrfearly times Mr. S. resided
in Galveston. Though a lawyer by
profession he ■ftas.a zealous and able
advocate of railroads. Upon ' the
railroad question he was elected from
Galveston to the Legislature of 1851,
with John Henry Brown for his col-
league. The expression of sentiments
favorable to the measures of the'Free
Soil party as it was then called,'
brought him into disfavor and his
constituents requested him to resign.
Giving up his seat in the Legislature
he soon afterwards left our State, and
took up his residence in New York.
For years past he has been maturing
a great national cheap freight railway
system, which he hoped soon to put
in full operation under a Congression-
al charter. We have no particulars
of his death.
Hawaii.—San Francisco, May 6 —
Honolulu advices to April 23d state
that considerable excitement and
alarm prevail among the people of
Honolulu in consequence of a con*
spiracy among the coolies to murder
and plunder their employers. Pre-
parations were made for resisting in
case of an uprising.
His Majesty the King had a narrow
escape from death by the falling of a
cocoanut while walking around his
country seat.
The necessary fixtures for light-
houses at Honolulu Hilo, and several
other porta, have been received at
Honolulu.
A certain queergenius whose prom-
inent speciality was an averson to
water, happeded home late one night,
with the peculiar furry sensation about
his tongue and tonsils, which gentle-
men who rejoice in clubs will remem-
ber as part of their experience. His
wife had left standing upon the bureau
a tumbler, in which— for some purpose
known to housewives—she had put a
small ball of silken thread to soak.
Without observing this fact, Bibulous
seized the tumbler, and swallowed its
contents. Feeling a thread in his
mouth, he began pulling upon it. To
his horror, yard after yard came string-
ing forth, until in an agony of excite-
ment, he cried out: " Lucy, 'Lucy,
for God's sake come here! I'm un-
ravelin."
The Methodist Book Concern in
Cincinnati has recently purchased a
new location for business at a cost
for lots ana buildings of $250,000.
