press, were reduced to the most complete impoteney,

to reliable reports routes for tho Government,
and we have, besides, expeditions coming from

have infused among all classes of the population

There were several rnnnon. a good number oi

material of war. It whs supposed by some that the
Telegrafo would take this cargo to rt. Marc's, In
Havtl. where the rebels against Salnave s govern
ment hntl a depot of military supplies; but. there was
also a suspicious rumor to the effect that a French
man-of-war was on tne roast 01 lite isiaiui, on uie
watch for auspicious vessels, such, for Instance, as
might bo en route for Cuba, ami carrying munitions
ami supplies to the Insurgents.
There were no men aisianl the steamer, except
the officers anil crew, ami the fact that she came
over from St. Marc's would not of Itself settle the
question of her destination. The Impression created
npon tne minds or the people at magna whs rnai
the Telegrafo would return Immediately to St.
Marc's, but It is quite as probable that she was about
to proceed to the coast of Cuba; more especially as
the war movements In Hnvti amount to nothing at

of the Huytiens antl Dominicans are all with the
Cubans.
GRANT.
HIm Policy Townrdn Knulnnd New Develop
ments -lie OppoMen Miinner'n iewn.
The New York Herald' Washington correspond
ence of yesterday contains the following:
J'eople who suppose that rresident Grant supports
the views expressed by Senator Sumner In his great
speech on the Alabama claims are very much mis
ts ken. j Dave tne best authority ror stating tnat the
President, so far from concurring with the Massa
chusetts Senator, thinks that a great Injury has been
done the country by that speech; that, in point of
met, it nas placed ns in a rinse ami untenable posi
tion, nnd perhaps destroyed the only chance we hatl
of settling the iKithersome Alabama claims satisfac
torily. This may seem rather unreliable: but the
truth is, It comes in such a way as to admit of no
doubt Grant does not believe In Sumner's plan,
which, when analyzed and stripped of Its verbiage,
ne consniers rouiti lead to only one logical conclu
sion war. Therefore the people who have been so
much alarmed In England us well as here at home
about a sanguinary collision between the two great
Anglo-axon nations, and the consequent damage to
"one blood, one langusge. one destiny," etc., mav
dismiss their fears. Grant is understood to go
runner antl to believe that Sumner himself is not
slrcere; that Sumner's tlesign was to get the start
of Hanks and his followers, who were laboring zea
lously to accomplish the annexation of Camilla ami
Rritlsh North America as a sort of compensation
for our Alabama claims. It Is well known that Sum
ner is one of those who hold that It Is not a good
thing to acquire any more territory; that our present
territory is as large as we can well govern, antl that
there Is danger in making any more extensions. The
Idea Is that Sumner believed,' by making the speech
he ditl, he would put the Kngllsh people In such bail
humor that they would not consent to ex
change British North America or one Inch of
territory In satisfaction of claims urged with
threats and bluster. At all events such seems to be
the belief of Grant, and It is fearetl by his Cabinet
that the proposed negotiations looking to the ao
quisition of Uritish North America have liecn nipped
in the bud by Sumner's speech. It Is said that
Grant, on being asked what he thought of Sum
ner s speech, summed up his opinion in live words
"Had logic, but good rhetoric." Sumner's own de
claration, inconsistent with the rest of his speech.
that he did not wish war, it must be admitted,
lends some plausibility to this explanation
of his real abject in making his re
marks public. Grant holds that there are
only two ways of settling international
ditllcultieB, namely, by diplomatic negotiation or by
war. ii we declare ttiut we don t want to resort to
the warlike remedy, then we must adopt the only
other; and If we adopt diplomacy we must conduct
It in a manner best calculated to 'effect our oblect.
W e must manage It with dignity, temperance, and
firmness, but not with threats dud blustering- We
must address a proud and powerful nation in lan
guage that will convince her of the Justice of our
claims without offending needlessly her amour
prof ire. From this statement of Grunt's views on
tins very important subject it is difficult to perceive
wherein his policy will differ from that of his pre
decessor, unless it be found In the proposed acquisi
tion oi Territory.
OBITUAKY.
iHnidinI Leopold O'Donncll.
The sudden death of General O'Donncll. from
apoplexy, while engaged In discussion in the Spanish
cones, is announced ty a cable telegram irom
Madrid. The deceased was a native of Santa Cruz
de Teneri tie, Canary Islands, and was born on the
mn oi .January, lson. ins rather was a prominent
officer of the Spanish army, Into the service of which
ne entered at an early age, and before he had at
tained his twenty-ltf th year was commissioned a
colonel. Uiiring the Curlist war In Spain he
espoused the cause of Queen Isabella, fought with
great courage, and displayed such skill ami ability
that in ISils he was appointed Chief of Staff and
placed in command of the Army of the Centre.
After the war was over he was promoted to the rank
of brigadier general and created Count of Lucena.
In 1S40 he supported the cause of the Queen-mother
Christina, and was compelled to take refuge with
her In France, but during the following year was
allowed to return to Spain, upon giving in his
adhesion to the existing government. No sooner
had he returned than he organized a formidable in
surrection against the regent, and, npon Its failure,
once more lied to France. Here he participated in
the Intrigues against Espartero, and upon the fall of
that Minister lu l:43 once more went to Spain ami
was awarded for his services by being appointed
Captain General of Cuba. Narvaez was In power when
he returned, and O'Donnell was by him appointed
Minister of War nnd the Colonies, antl President
of the Council, which positions he held until Spain
declared war against Morocco, when he was placed
in command of the army which Invaded that conn
try. His success was brllliunt, and won for him the
title of Duke or Tetuan, In addition to more substan
tial rewards. In 13 the Marshal resigned his poli
tical offices because the Queen refused to dissolve
the Chamber. Two years later he returned to power
at the head of a new Ministry, but within a few
mouths was replaced by Narvaez. Marshal O'Don
nell was one of the many Spanish officers of great
abilities whose love of revolution has placed Spain
in her present position. Politically he was every
thing by turns, and for some time before the last
revolution sided with those opposed to the rule of
the ex-Queen Isabella.

The It nt Indian MnstRerr,
I.f.avkn worth, June 3. Tho Times and Con

of the late Indian nmssacrcs:
The tongues and hearts were cut out of the
dead bodies, the calves of their legs slit down
and tied under their shoes, pieces of flesh cut
from their backs, pieces of telegraph wire stuck
Into the bodies, their cars cut off, and heads
scalped.
The Indians boiled the hearts of three men for
medicine. The Swedish settlers who were at
tacked all lived In one house, and only those
were killed who left it and attempted to reach n
place of greater security. Those who remained
in the house were not molested. This occurred
in two Instances. The calamity Is mainly attri
butable to lack of arms, as whenever a gun was
fired the savages made no fight.

DECIDEDLY UNRECONSTRUCTED.
"A nollnr'a Worth of Disloyalty."
"The following extracts from a lecture recently de
livered by Father Kvan in Atlanta, Georgia, before
an enthusiastic audience, will be of some Interest to
Northern readers. The speech was specially reported
for the Methodist Advocate:
TheyteH us to forget the past: to let bygones be
bygones. But we cannot, we must not, we will not.
There are too manv ruins to remind us, and too
many graves over our land, in the valley, In tho
shade of the wood, and around us, to let it lie forgot
ten. Tho future will yet bring the hopes of the past.
There are those who will again be proud to wear the
greg, and go forth to battle for the cause of the
South. Shall thev drag us awav from the
grave of the "Lost Cause?" No! We will yet meet to
worship there. That cause Is not dead ; It only sleeps.
It Kastrr Sundaii morning trill emne. It will live
again. It does live deep down the heart of the true
and brave. ne.mo little boys love to be called
little Southern Rebels. The boys are fathers to the men
that are to be. Some men have been "re
constructed." Ves, of the sinlter. We leave them.
We would scarcely give them absolution. But there
are others who cannot, who will not forget the past.
Yes, there are mothers thank heaven for such
mothers who are keeping alive, and aglow, and
atlame, the cause "lost" bat to be regained. Yea,
and know thus: Sometimes the whisper of a mother
in the ear of a child to-dav becomes the boom of a can
non a century hence ! The cause shall yet succeed,
and whoever the man Is will take up the nag again,
and let the stars and bars (applause) wave over this
land, he will find there are more true, brave, patri
otic men w ho are ready to rally around that stand
ard, ami do battle for the right. I think I
have given you all a dollar's worth of "disloyalty."
and I must close.
A Terra naute young lady of eighteen boasts
having made ten "breaches of promise" within two
