Havana, December 6.?-General Bar*

Santiago do Ouba, to rename charge of
that department,
London, December 7.?Tbe orew of
the Loch Earn, whioh ran into and sank
the Ville da Havre, havo arrived at Ply
month. They were brought into port
by the British Qaeen, whioh took them
off the Looh Earn on the 29ik ult., at
whioh time sue was in a sinking oondi
tion. The aooount of the Vdie da
Havre disaster, given by tbe rescued
orew, represents tbat tbe captain and
second mate of tbe steamer came on
board the Locu-Euu shortly after the
collision, and did not assist iu saviug
any of the passengers, and tbat the ma?
jority of the Prenoh exhibited lamenta- j
ble cowardice. Tbe captain of the Loch
Earn makes the following statement:!
"After first sighting the steamer, and
seeing tbat sho was coming dangerously
near, he, the captain, rang the ship's
bell and pat his helm a-port. But the
steamer oame right across the Looh
Earn. bows. The people in the first
boat from the Prenoh steamer did not
say she was sinking, but the captain of
the Looh E-.ru, observing that the
steamer was settling down, sent out bis
boats. Neither tbe first Prenoh boat
nor the second, which arrived shortly
afterwards, bringing tbe captain and
first and second mates of the Ville du
Havre, attempted to return, but, in
spite of the expostulations of all tbo
orew who were left on board the Loch
Earn, and the threats of her mates, tho
whole of them remained alongside the
ship. The clothing of the Frenoh
officers who reaohed the deck of tbe
Looh Earn was dry, showing no signs
of their having been in the water.
Finally some Englishmen seized and
manned one of tbe Frenoh bouts and
went to the resouo of those struggling
in the bob?' Only one French boat's
orew assisted in the rescue. Tho cap?
tain of the Loch Earn considers that
the great loss of life resulted from*the
fact that his vessel drifted suoh a long
distanoe from the steamer after the col?
lision before it was possible to shorten
sail, from the tardiness of the steamer
in showing signals of distress, aud from
the misconduct of her orew.

600 barrels of powder were transferred

Both of the despatoh boats aro on tele?

posited at Fort Taylor.
New Yobk, December 7.?The mar?
ket for spot ootton was inactive and un?
settled. The receipts were large, and
there was only a moderate export de?
mand, as prices have ruled too high to
admit of tho execution of orders for the
other aide. The result has boon a de?
cline of 3-i since tbe opening of the
week. For forward delivery the market
has fluotnated?prices closed with a
heavy decline. The total sales fpr tbo
week were 136,0$} bales; of whioh 122,
850 were for future delivery, aud 14,143
on the spot; of whioh 3,457 were for ex?
port, 9,758 for spinning, 118 to spoou
laators, aud 810 iu transit. Included
were 1,802 bales to arrive. .Naval stores
have ruled dull.
New York, Decomber 7.?A barge,
loaded with 200 tons of coal, has suuk
iu front of tho gates through which the
Spanish vessel Aripiles will have to
pass. This will detain her a few days.
Visitors are exoluded from tho navy
yard, because visitors smuggled rum to
the workmen. The Boauoke is receiv?
ing her ooal, aud will be ready for sea
' in a few days. Tho Colorado steamed
, out, to-day, and will receive her ammu?
nition and go to soa early Monday. A
number of boiler-makers havo been de
taohed from the navy yard to go to Key
West, for repairing purposes. Tho pres?
sure for workmen prevents the raising
of tbe sanken vessel, whioh prevents
tho departure of the Aripiles. Tbo en?
gines of the Florida and Boauoke will
be tried to-mbrrow. Tho bustle of
preparation ou tbe Minnesota aud Dic?
tator continues. Tho Savatora has a
i notioe at the gates soliciting recruits.
A Herald special, frdm Paris, of De?
cember 6, says a oipher despatched
from Madrid says tbo Cubau question
is again gravo. Minister Sickles to-day
tendered his resignation as Minister, iu
consequence of a disagreement about
the Spanish complication. This disa?
greement has existed for some time. It
is understood tbat iu tho rcoent negotia?
tions Secretary Fish aoted directly witb
s President Castelar?ignoring Minister
Sickles, and disapproving of his impera?
tive tone. Tho Correspondencia says
they have had frequent disagreements
before. There was almost a rupturo
with Mr. Fish ou tho occasion of tbe
correspondence atteudiog tbo remand
of Bidwell from Havana, and tho Hourd
jase, when Mr. Fish ignored Sickles,
aud dealt directly with tbo Spanish
' Minister, It is said, in diplomatio oir
roles, that the good offices of the British
(Minister accomplished a settlement, bot
novt, as Mr. Fish proposes further con?
cessions, Sickles has resigned.. The On
ban authorities demand that the Vir?
ginia bo delivered at sdme Spanish or
Porto Bjcan port, at the discretion of
Solo, the Colonial Minister, thcra to
await arbitration. The opposition to
President Castelar is culminating in a
Cabinet crisis. The whole Spanish
press indignantly protests against the
tone of Presideut Grant's message, as
an impertinent interference iu Cuban.
afTuirs, whioh is really none of bis busi?
ness. The cause of the Cabinet orieis
in the oharge that Castelar panders to
America. ? The situation here sprung
from the astounding ignorance, haughti?
ness and pride of the people. The feel?
ing is intensely warlike.
Washington, December 7.?A num?
ber of oolored persons havo arrived, to
attend the National Civil Rights Con?
vention, whioh convenes on Tuesday.
It is the programme that Pincbback
shall preside. The delegation from Lou?
isiana of sixteen includes Col. James
Loring, Geu. A. E. Birber, State Semi
tor, und Hon. David Youug.
The United States and Spanish Claims
Commission^ have deoided the case of
Foulko, administrator to Elwardo Cis
noros and guardian of Maria and Emma
Cisneros. Tho claim was for damages
growing out of speculation of estates,
amounting to $18,000, with interest.
The claimant argued that they are the
laws, both of tho Uuitcd States und
Spain, and they ure the express terms o^
the embargo* itself. Tho title of the
parties uflVcted by it was not divested,
und that upon the death of any such
parties, the property embargoed passed
to bis distributees; that by the laws of
tho United States, all persons bom
therein ere citizens thereof, and en ti?
tled to protection against the unlawful
dotention of property, und that Emma
Ci?neros is suoh a citizen, aud that her
property canuot be detained by Spanish
embargo. The brief shows that E l
wardo Cisneros was formerly a resident
of Havana, but removed to uud resided
in Now York, from the 12th of February,
18C9, to the 4'.h of May, 1871, wheu he
died intestate. Emma Cisneros was
boru in New York, in April, 187J.
There being a difference of opiuiou be?
tween the United States aud Spauish
arbitrators, Baron Lcdercr, the umpire,
i has decided that the child of u Spaniard,
' born iu the United States, is not u citi?
zen of the United SWos, within the in?
tent of the conventiou.
The protocol, signed by Admiral Pole,
with Seorotary Fish, ou the 20ch of No?
vember, was with thu full approbation
of his Government, after mature consi?
deration of all its consequeuces; aud
since that time, it has expressed no in?
timation whatever for a chauge of its
terms. The excitement on the island of
Cuba and alleged threats concerning tho
Virginias, gave reasonable foundation
for fear ou the part of mauy persons,
that the vessel and the surviving passen?
gers and orew would not be promptly
delivered to-the United States authori?
ties according to the terms of the agree?
ment; but suoh apprehensions have not
been shared by tho executive branch of
our Government, for it can be positively
stated that there is nothing to diminish
its confidence in tho sincerity of the
purpose of the Spanish Government, or
its ability to execute its engagements,
f'be delay of the transaction has been
unavoidable, and only recently tho ar?
rangement for the consummation of
terms has been completed. Whatever
may have been suggested -heretofore as
to tho programme, it can now bo assert?
ed that the Virgiuius will be delivered
to one of our naval vessels within the
next ten days at a Cuban port, in open
day, and the surviving passengers aud
crew be transported to a United States
ship at Santiago do Cuba, iu na equally
open mannt r. The vessels to perform
these services will soon be, if they have
not already been, designated by the Sec
rotary of the Navy. This is tho condi?
tion of offtirs to-night, which has served
to inspire a hope of continued peace
with Spain, iu order that tho Uuitcd
States may continue to give their moral
support to tho Castelar Goverumeut, in
its efforts to establish a republic. Ad?
miral Polo has lately received a commu?
nication from Captain-General Jovellar,
in which there is no reference to the
subject of his alleged resignation.
WASHINGTON, December 8.?The Navy
Department has a despatch that the

man, to have somo fun out of him, ac?
costed him, "I say, Buck, whore did
you get that chickeu?"
Tb" ^ld fellow stopped, and with a
disda. ! look, said to him, "Mister, is
you ' .at. -Tu gentleman?"
"1 ?," was the reply.

ABSOLUTELY SAKE.
Porfcctly odorless. Always uniform. Illu
initiating qualities superior to GaB. Burns
in any lamp, without danger of exploding or
taking fire. Manufactured expressly to dis
plaee the Ue? of volatilo and dangerous oils.
Its surety under every possible tost, and its
'perfect burning qualities are proved by its
[continued Use in over 300,000 families. Mil?
lions of gallon i have been sold, and no acci?

The immenao yearly loss to life and property,
