The Brazilian General Camara, who commanded at the rout and death of Lopez, has written a letter to an Argentine paper, of which the following are extracts : ft is hard, very hard, for honorable soldiers, who have fought for years to bring back to these countries that peace which had been disturbed by the tyranny of a despot, to see themselves confounded with the sanguinary followers of the barbarian whose hands were still wet with the blood of our heroic prisoners, butchered by him when the hazard of war bad forced them to sur render themselves, dying rather than yield. It Is hard, very hard, especially when this despot fell, not in an ambuscade, but in a loyal fight, defending himself with the valor which I will do him this justice honored his death and be lied his life. Marshal Lopez was not, could not be assassi nated, nor was be executed. It is false ! lie was not, nor could he be, at the hands of my distinguished companions in arms, and still less at mine. General Lopez was surprised in day time by an accident which was as fortunate as it might have been unfortunate to us. I had the good fortune to see my dispositions so rapidly and ably carried out that their execution al lowed no defect to be seen. Lopez, that excessively cautious and distrust ful dan. whose prudence omitted no means of piecauticn or of vigilance, was surrounded and assaulted in his camp even before he could sus pect that we had captured his outposts. He saw us only when, after bursting through his grape, the dashing lancers of the intrepid Colonel Silva Tavares, the brave carbineers of the valiant Martinez, Marquis Xavier and others, and the few but gallant bayonets of the distin guished Major Feixoto issued out on the smooth fdain upon the very guards of his camp. Thus t was that the dictator hazarded his person, ho having no time to flee; and when, ordering his brave soldiery to charge, and, waving his sword around, he turned and tried to sae himself by flight, it was too late, for he had been recog nized, and the pursuit of him was therefore l,erce. Major Eimeon de Oliveira, and another officer . whom you know well personally, omitted these details through modestyfbut Justice exets4,ht here and everywhere I proclaim that to them especially was due the tragic end of that ultra praised leader. When he fled they pursued him with some mounted riflemen. When Lopez left his horse to enter the wood they alighted also, and fired almost without stoppage, and it was their balls which closed the life of Marshal Lopez, wounding him mortally in two places. Major Simeon de Oliveira could not verify the ellicacv of that 6teady ant persistent fire, as wt.en I came np I ordered him to aid at another point; thus I was among the first who, on coining to the bank of the Aquidibanlqul, saw Lopez lul'en and almost lifeless on the other side. Near Lopez were two officers who died sword in band, defending him to the last, and some one other, who succeeding in escaping perhaps to surrender later. The former, I ascertained afterwards, were Majors Estiogarrlbia and Var gas, who were shot by the riflemen who came after me to the bank, and who fired on seeing - me wading across, alone and on foot, to be re ceived, not as a liberator but as an implacable and rancorous enemy. I owe it to my honor as a soldier, to my name and my country, I owe it to history and to my conscience, to declare truthfully that Marshal Lopez died fairly and in lull possession of his senses. When I stooped to take the drawn sword from his hand he made a movement to wound me, and replied with a firm and arrogant l die sword in band tor my coun try." I then ordered a soldier of the Ninth bat talion to disarm him. and it was In the struggle with him he expired, without receiving a fur ther wound. . " A rOST-RAPIIAELITE PICTURE. The Latest Marvel la the Sitlrlinallatle World A Crayon Portrait Maid to be frai the , Hand of the Urea Italian Master. The spiritualists of this city, says the New York World, have been much exercised in mind for some time past over a picture which was recently completed, and which splrltuallstlcally purports to De ine production 01 Raphael, toe jireat Italian painter, ine History 01 mis pic ture may be briefly told. On the evening of May 12 a circle was held at a private residence in Thirty-fourth street, under ine meoiumsnip oi jars, jnargaretia fox ivane. the circle being composed of three ladies and the medium. During the seance the following communication was "rapped out s "We will draw you a picture of Mrs. B (a daughter of one of the ladies of the circle) The artist will ba Raphael, and the picture very much in the etvie ot his Madonna delta oeg , g ola. The attitude will express three affections the hands be pointed towards God, and signify devotion; the smile to her mother; and the ex- . preseion of love .to all. These three-named ex pressions are the attributes that tend to convey to your minas all that makes the soul divine. We want you to commence and end each meet ing with Ihe Lord's prayer." - In fulfilment of the above request, a circle wus held twice a week at the house where the ladies resUe, and the result is the production of the promised picture. . By invitation of a friend, the writer paid a Vi-it 10 me noubo 10 examine me picture and listen to the statements made ey the ladles re- . iraidng the manner ot its production, which was is Buosiance as louowa: rue time con- . i a. t . l rr . . Burnt a was aoout tour wcckb. i wo circles, as already stated, were held each week, although at some of the sittings, conditions not being favor ' able, no work wus done upon the picture. The actual time occupied in drawing has been com' - puted at seven Hours, ine directions govern ing tbe proceedings were always given juroiij ,'tue rat s. . t c THE JUFE8 ON WI1ICH THE PORTRAIT WAS ... .. .. .'. DRAWN. A large sheet of drawing paper and a lot of crayons were purchased at Goupll's. as directed by the raps, and placed upon a large-sized quar tette tame at ine nrsi circle, me paper was marked by each member of the circle, and also by other persons residing In the house. A piece of muslin was also ordered and strings sewed at each corner.. It was placed over the paper by the spirit, and at tbe close of each slttlug the - airings were tied to the legs of the table by one room under lock and key until tbe next meeting one of tbe ladies keeping the key, which she affirms never left her possession. WHERE THE DRAWING WAS DONE. The slttlmrs were all held in a dark room, and were opened and closed by the circle reciting the Lord's prayer. Tbe ladies and medium were required to stand during ine entire time and to sing. Sometimes the sittings lasted for two or tbree Hours, making the attendance anything but a pleasure. During tbe sittings sonnds like pencils moving upon paper were distinctly beard, lowaras tne end ot tne mira ween ine faith of the members of the circle began to flag, when the raps asked, "If you are permitted to see a hole over the paper win it give you strength to persevere to the end Ihe ladies replied "Yes." It was then rapped out, "Don't cause confusion by exclamations when you see the light." A SUPERNATURAL 8IOHT. In a few minutes afterwards a halo wag visible over tbe paper upon the table, and the pencils distinctly seen in an npright position moving upon tbe paper without visible hands. inrce sittings oeiore me last me ladies were ordered to procure a sheet of the thinnest tracing paper. U was purchased and at the next meeting placed in a roll npon the table. Before tne close of the sitting a light was or dered, when the drawing paper wai found covered with the tracing paper fastened down by pins and books. The ladies were then di rected to examine tbe unfinished picture through the tracing paper, which they did, and at that time there was no writing upon the p aper. RAPHAEL S INTERPRETER. The medium who officiated at the sittings was Mrs. Margaretta Fox Kane, one of the original Kocbestcr r ox sisters. ne docs not reside in the house, and had no means of access except when admitted in answer to the street door bell. It would have been impossible for her to have tampered with the paper without being in col lusion with others in the house. The mother of the person whose portrait the picture repre sents was one of the circle, and was so much pleased with it that she gave the medium $100 for her time at the seances. THE PICTURE. As a work of art coming from the hand of Raphael, a more perfect production was ex pected. The expression of the face, with its eyes turned heavenward, is exquisitely sweet, and tne leit 6houider ana Dreasi are true to nature. The color of the eyes and hair is said to be like that of the original, and a strong family resemblance is recognized by all who have seen the picture. The hands are crossed npon tne rigbt breast, wun tne lingers pointing upward, and from the right hand a rosebud droops toward the left shoulder. The arms, from the elbow to the wrist, and the hand are badly drawn and out of proportion. The defect is a marked peculiarity of the picture, and, to some persons who have seen it, presents evidences of its production as represented. At the bottom of the picture Is written In Italian, in a bold hand, "Estiva rosa somlglla mia vita" (ray lite is like a summer rose), and across the left-hand corner is the name Raphael, said to be a facsimile of the great artist s signature, 1 be painting has created a decided sensation among spiritualists, ana, wnetner or not it De a pro duction or tne marvellous master irom wuose hand It is said to have come, it is a curiosity. and tbe select few who have seen it have at least found in it something to talk about. GREAT EAR-SPLITTIJfG FESTIVAL. A Perfect Jhani It Expires of Emaciation and General Debility A Pecuniary and Musical The musical festival dwindled away steadily- after tbe Elijah nignt, and on Saturday evening expired of emaciation and general debility. Its last hours were disturbed by the clamors of unpaid artists and impatient auditors, and bardiy a iriend remained to ciose its eyes. W ithout rarepa tne lestivai would nave tumbled to pieces long ago. in a pecuniary sense me lestivai must nave been disastrous. In an artistic sense, despite some excellent performances to which we have done full justice irom time to time, it bus also been a bad failure. A Beethoven festival it has not been in any sense of the word. During the whole eleven concerts only two compositions by Beethoven have been played, and both were played badly. The exaggerations, not to say false pretenses, of the advertisements were too flagrant to be excused, ine blunders and con fusion in tne management were too odviohs to escape notice, and too annoying to be borne with patience. We are far from saying that the performances as a rule were poor. If they had been an nounced as a series of great popular concerts, at reasonable prices, no one would have com plained; but purporting to be a jubilee celebra tion of the centenary of - the greatest of com nosers, with tickets $4 apiece for each perform' ance, they invite the severest criticism. The first and most obvious fault was the want of a recognized musical head. Programmes got themselves made somehow or other In town meeting, and tnese were followed or not, as convenience dictated. A splendid array of operatic artists were present, but nobody knew how to turn them to account. With the reper tory at their command we might have had an unequalled variety of selections; but parts had not been iurnisnea ior me orchestra, ana me list of possible pieces was consequently reduced to a few, of which the music could be bought or borrowed at a moment s notice, ana tnese were repeated over and over again. Several eminent conductors were engaged, but the orchestra was of a second-rate quality and bad no rehear sals. Better music is given by ineodore i nomas every night at the Central Park Garden than was given any time last week by the orchestra at the Kink. The effect of the Festival npon art we believe will prove unfortunate, ine Boston Jubilee, with all its little absurdities and shortcomings. and the inevitable imperfection of performances in which ten thousand voices and five hundred instruments took part together, gave an ex traordinary impulse to musical enterprise all over the country. Infused vitality into scores of choral societies, developed a latent popular taste for the works of the best masters, aud set for ward the average musical culture of New Eng land a good half generation. The Jubilee In New York, on the contrary, has discouraged musicians, disheartened musical societies, and strengthened the vulgar prejudice which calls Ilandel stupid aud Mendelssohn a bore. Even the least cultivated ear listens with delight to grand chorus sung with spirit by a mighty choir; but sucn lnditterent performances ot oratorio music as we generally have la New York cannot possibly Interest any except those who knowenougbot art to go behind the lui perfections of the Interpreters and catch the spirit of tbe composer. The Festival of last week has developed nothing but the popular taste lor gunpowder, ana mat was s'rong enough already. One of these days we shall perhaps have a genuine Musical Festival. Who ever undertakes tbe herculean task of getting It np will find the recollection of this sham one a formidable obstacle to be overcome N. 1'. Tribune, A PROBABLE LIE. A Brekee-Dewa and ' Neslected General. American Ketc York Correnpondenct Cincinnati Commercial. , The cable despatch from France about the dangerous illness of General Robert Anderson. of Fort Sumter fame, Is almost tragical, In view oi nis pnysician b direction for a change oi cli mate as the means of saving his life. General Anderson was broken in health. If not In heart. when be was compelled to leave New York a year ago. lie was unable" to pay bit petty income allowed him by Congress after his retirement from the army, and he went abroad for the purpose of living as economically as possible In some small town of Germany or France. He lost his pro perty during the war, and though he tried hard to get some remuneration lor it irom congress, he failed. lie was greatly discouraged by this, and also at the way In which his patriotic ser vices at the opening of tbe war were Blighted. Before leaving here he offered his private library for sale, as a means of meeting the expenses of his family on their passage to Europe. There were in this library many valuable books of a military and scientific kind, for which he hoped to obtain good prices. But though his friends of the press called attention to the sale, he rea lized very little from it, few of the books bring ing one-quarter their cost or value. He left here a poor man, shattered in constitution, and with an Income so small that he had very hard work to cover the necessary expenses of his family. Jle has been living for some time past in an humble way at the French town of Tours, from which we now receive the reports of his dangerous illness. It seems strange that some of the rich men of New York, who have lately -raised large sums of money to keep the families of Stanton and Rawlins, after Stanton and Rawlins were dead, have not made up a patriotic fund in the name of Robert Anderson, while he is yet alive. There has been no secret about his poverty or about the Insufficiency of his income, and the reasons for his going abroad nave been repeatedly published in the news papers. A MUSICAL JUDGE. An Opera Troupe In Court A Jodne's Musical criticism. Blanch Ellerman, a young prima donna, en gaged for the Bernard-Rlchings troupe, recently sued the latter for salary. Judge Cooley, of New Orleans, has delivered the following enter taining decision: "The plaintiff cultivates that branch of the fine arts called music, and the defendant is the directress of an opera troupe. This opera troupe, it appears by the record, adds to its many sterling qualities in point of musical talent the advantage of constant locomotion- it is always on the wing peripatetic as well as musical; and goes by the high-sounding title of "it appears mat inepiaintin was employed to act In the capacity of assistant prima donna, obligating herself to sing such parts in the operas to be performed by the troupe as are written ior a soprano voice, tne directress re serving for herself the honors of the premlereshlp as prima donna. The period of her engagement was eignt montDs, Dcginning on tne oi September, lbW, she to sing not less than four davs each week, and at one matinee if bo re quired. And for these services the defendant agreed to pay ner tne sum oi seventy dollars per week, to give her one benefit, and besides, as was necessary, considering the ambulatory character of the Kichings English Opera Troupe, to pay all her travelling expenses, except hotel bills. "There is no contest about the contract al leged by the plaintiff; nor relative to the fact mat sne complied witn ail its terms, except mat of capacity to sing and perform tbe part allotted to her. The plain ti ft alleges her ability and willingness at all times, and the defendant, though admitting ner willingness, strenuously denies her capacity. I he case therefore pre sents simply the question, whether Miss Blanche Ellerman possessed the voice and the artistic culture required in an assistant prima donna. 'The defendant ottered the testimony oi nearly all the members of her troupe to show natural imperiection in tne voice ot me plain tiff, as well asetrtlrewant of musical training and education. The testimony of these members of the Richings English Opera Troupe would have received some consideration in determining the question presented by the merits of this case, were it not for the fact that a great deal of said testimony forces me to the conclusion that tbe members oi mat troupe, in testnying, iorgoi they were not on the stage. Their opinion of the capacity of Miss Blanche Ellerman is seri ously affected by the overweening vanity which they exhibited in estimating their own talents. If we are to believe these censors of the plain tiff, the Richings English Opera Troupe has the advantage over all other opera troupes In tbe world in this, that it has not one member who is not A No. 1, first-class. . 'Oho of them, particularly, caiiea urayton, had the audacity to place the defendant in the same niche ot tne musical tempie as Adeuna ratti, tbe world-renowned prima donna. Alter baviDtr thus vaunted me acquirements ot ms directress, the witness, Drayton, very compla cently styles mmseit 'a nrst-ciass oaritone. There may be grave cause to doubt whether the musical talents ot tne witness, urayton, are such that his name will be handed down to posterity as a musical prodigy; but there cer tainly can be no doubt mat, mrougn me judicial archives of this State, be will be known by suc ceeding ages as one possessing those peculiar mental traits which entitle persons to compul sory and oftentimes protracted residence in lunatic asylums. "Tbe testimony oi me otner memoers ot me troupe is. in substance, the testimony of Dray ton. Each is 'first-class,' and indeed it would appear that, with the exception ot the unfor tunate Blanche Ellerman. the Richings English Opera Troupe was composed exclusively of nrst-ciass artists in meir own estimation. "On the other hand, plaintiff has produced the testimony of persons living la mis city pro fessors in different departments of music who are well known throughout the community in point of their ability. Intelligence, and integrity, and the testimony of these gives a high char acter to the musical powers of Miss Blanche Ellerman. Her voice is represented as a pure soprano, of great compass and capable of reach ing the highest notes. "Tbe praise of such men is sufficient to coun teract tbe testimony of witnesses like those who testified for the defendant testimony whose only effect as evidence is to prove the over weening vanity and supremely ridiculous pre tensions of most of the singers composing the 'Richings English Opera iroupe. "Tbe judgment will be entered in favor of piaintin. BICIIARDSOS'S PROPERTY.

(Here follows a minute statement of tbe measurement of the property.) Abby 8. Richardson, I Special Uuardiau. THE BALE. In pursuance of thla notice the Woodside property of the late Albert l. Richardson was sold yesterday at the Court House in Newark. There were present at the sale Mr. J. If. Stone, ;ur. Kicnarason pnrcnasea tne woodside pro- Jerty; Mr. Charles A. Richardson, editor of the Boston Congregationalitt and brother of Albert D. Richardson; and two or three persons who were drawn to the place by curiosity. Mr. Stone annnounced that the Court of Chancery had ordered the property to be sold, and that he, as attorney for the special guardian of the heirs, was prepared to receive any bids that might be made for the purchase of the property. ONLY ONE BID. Mr. Charles A. Richardson made a bid of $150, and the estate was "knocked down" to him within a few minutes after he had named that figure. The reason why the property sold so cheaply was that when Mr. Albert D. Richard son bought it he took it at the price of $9000. Of this amount he paid only $1500 down and gave a mortgage for the balance; the mortgage being for $7500, which is held by Mr. Anson, the original owner of the pioperty. The sale yesterday was made subject to Mrs. Richardson's (Men ariand) right of dower and tbe rights or the minor children (three in number) left by Mr. Richardson. The interest due on this mort gage, after subtracting $00 paid on it, amounted to $459-99. MRS. RICHAnDSON NOT PRESENT. The sale was conducted very quietly. Mrs. Richardson was not present. She is still living at the Woodside villa, and has recovered from the illness from which she suffered while the trial of McFarland was going on. Mr. Richard son's children are all with her, but her little boy Danny has been absent for some time with his grandparents, the Sages, in Boston. THE SITUATION IS CUBA. A Pence Party Organizing Among Havana Spaniards Anothrr tfnld on Freemasons Burning Hogar Alllla and Poisoning Wells. 11 a van a, Jnne 15. Advices from Santiago announce that General Merelo has quietly as sumed the position to which he was appointed by the Home Government Governor of the Eastern Department but with the compromise that Count de Valmaseda shall remain at the head of the military affairs of the department. This is a substantial victory for the volunteers over the Home Government, since they thus Erevent the removal of their favorite and keep lm In the position they desire. General Merelo wisely concluded that a divided command was lar better man no command at all. ior had ne not agreed to the compromise it is about sure tbat tne volunteers would have torced him to return to Spain. Their success in this instance is but another evidence of what has long been apparent that the Serrano and Prim govern ment of Spain has more of a nominal than real control of the no longer faithful island. DESTROYING SUGAR MILLS AND POISONING WELLS The order of General Cavada, the Cuban Com mander-in-Chief, to burn and destroy all sugar mills, houses, cabins, etc., that may serve the Spaniards in their warfare, is being rigidly com plied with by his soldiers, and very likely In a lew weeKS more mere will not be a 6lngle build ing left standipg within twenty-flve or thirty miles of ruerto rrincipo, save along the line of tbe railway, out of over one thousand there were before the war commenced. General Ca vada and his men are terribly in earnest,and this enrages tbe Spaniards very mucn. but not as much as an Intercepted order of General Agra- monte to the commander of the "twelfth bat talion, Division of the Camagucy," to poison the wells ot cabana JNueva and all otner wells tne Spaniards are apt to use. The Spaniards have published the order, but without any date at- tacbed; a suspicious omission, wnicn cast many doubts upon tne genuineness ot me order. THE MYSTERIOUS STRANGERS SHOT. Two of tbe three men captured by a detach ment from one of the Delamater gunboats upon uruz Aey, and brougnt to ruerto rnncipe ior identification, were shot on the 8th. The spared man is a carpenter irom ruentes lirandes, wno Informed the Captaln-ueneral tbat tne otber two were Guiteras,of Matanzas, and Hernandez, of Havana; that the three, with a fourth com panion who died on Cruz Key, left Nassau in February for Cuba in an open boat rowed by four negroes; that these abandoned them upon Cruz Key, returning to tbe Bahamas wita tne boat; and the three captured men lived npon Cruz Key until taken, unable to get off, and eating most of the time shell fishes and land crabs. In March the Nassau papers reported the same party as having been murdered by the negro rowers. . , SICKNESS is on the increase among the Spanish troops, principally on account of the rains that fall every day, which, wetting me soldiers in me field, make many of them sick. GENERAL LORDA, Cuban Minister of War and Marine, died In Los Guiros, the provisional Cuban capital, towards the close of May, of fever. His loss is a severe one for the Cuban cause, as be was an earnest worker and an able oftlcer. His successor has not been appointed, but is likely to be General Adoito uavada, brother to tne uommanuer-in- Chief. SICKNESS IN THB ARMY. r Within the past five days no less than 120 sick and wounded ollicers and enlisted men have been brought here from the insurrectionary dis tricts, and placed in tne nospitais. x nis indi cates a notable increase of sickness in those districts, but to be expected at this season of tbe year. Among tne wounded is included General Jose Chinchilla, a nephew of Regent Serrano, seriously hurt in tbe Camaguey some weeks ago. ANOTHER RAID ON HAVANA FREEMASONS. Another raid has been made by the Havana authorities upon Freemasons. On Saturday nine Masons, all foreigners, were seized, and sent to the city prison, to keep company with tbe fifty-four Masons, Cubaus and Spaniards, who for months have languished in captivity for no offenses committed, and simply because they are Freemasons. Among the unlucky nine no American citizen is included, for a wonder, though an American was wanted by the autho rities, but not found Mr. J. a. llarmouy, now In Key est. A PEACE PARTY. On Saturday evening quite an excitement was created in the Casino Espanol by Colonel Zu lueta, of tbe 2d Battalion of Volunteers, and the wealthy merchant Mamerto Publdo, advocating tbe autonomy ot me island, and declaring mat It was now bign time mat terms oi peace were made with the Cubans, houorable to Spain and to Cuba both alike. A large maiorlty ot the Casino repudiated tbe views of the two gentle men, but still their enunciation is yet a subject of general conversation, aud is considered by most persons as a proof tbat the two gentlemen, once to irreconcuaoiy loyal, -are now tired of the war, and see only destruction ahead. Tbey are not by any meaus alone among the late advocates of "Cuba Spanish or nothing' who have changed. 1 wenty montns ot unsuc cessful war have opened the eyes of many a Spaniard as to the dangers tbat now surround Spanish rule, and causes tbem to seriously doubt wnetner war, me garrote, and tne snoot ing of prisoners can suitice to remove them whether blood copiously shed is not more likely to weaken man to strengtnen spamsn sway. From what I have noticed this week, I fancy tbat Boon a peace party oi respectable propor tions and composition will exist among the Havana Spaniards. In a letter to a friend, a United States Sena tor says: "I see but little left for me live for, aur nothing valuable now in polities. An old man at nrty-iour years.

J., the other evening, through the alleged criminal carelessness of the driver of car No. 4 of the Montclair, Bloomflold and Newark horse car road. At about halt past 8 o'clock the horse car drove np Broad street and reached the crossing of the Morris and Essex Railroad just a few seconds before a train came dashing down the steep grade from High street. The danger to the horse car, filled with passengeis, was perceived in time by the flag man ana uiiicer Bangor, wno nmtca in warning the driver. Tbe latter paid no heed to the cau tion, however. The locomotive scarcely cleared bis hind platform. The excitement among the horse car passengers can better be Imagined than described. latest smrrmc otellioksce.
