Kelly and wife were arrested yester
day on a charge of arson. Hartlee
expects to prove that they set tire to
the house maliciously, and it is re
ported that saturated rags, eamplune,
oil etc., were found in the house near
where the fire originated. The suspi
cion that arson was intended arises
from the fact that Kelly had insured
bis place for $500 in the Liverpool Lon
don and Globe, and effected a further
insurance for a like sum with the
State Investment, without giving no
tice to the first named company.
Should arson be proved against either
man or wife, it will probably go very
hard with them.
Justices' Court.
The following cases were before
Justice Traftbrd, Dee. Ist :
A warrant was issued for the arrest
of Kelly et ux., charged with arson,
„ to-wit: burning their dwelling house
on First street, in this city.
Complaint was made by Evorito Ho
man against Robert Hyer for threat
ening to commit bodily injury. The
case was set for Wednesday,*.id De
cember, at 2 P. M.
John McDonald vs Sylvester Roe;
Injury to property.
Same vs Sylvester Roe; threatening
to kill.
Before Justice Gray:
People vs, Rafael Lopez, Juan Are
nas and Jesits Galindo; illegal horse
racing and injury to property, The
defendants were found guilty. Lopez
and Arenas were fined $50 or 25 days
in default; Galindo $10 or 5 days.
People vs. M. J. Banks; complaint of
Peter Lunney was filed charging de
fendant with assault and threats of
bodily injury.
Our Fire Boys.
On Sunday, at half-past 2 p. M.,
an alarm of tire was given. The boys
dragged the engine out themselves
without waiting for the horses, tore
down First street, and did not pull up
* until near the railroad crossing, when
information was given that the fire
was under control. Never was t here
such a crowd of "blowers" in this
world. The up grade took It out of
them, and most of our boys looked as
if they ought to be walked about and
rubbed down before the next heat.
Although the horses came up at this
juncture, the foreman sent them back,
thinking the boys might as well take
the engine home themselves, and fin
ish what they had begun so well. It
Is Very creditable to Company No. 1
that, regardless of Sunday clothes,|ab
senceof horses, etc., they hitched on
and ran the machine themselves a
half mile and repeat.

CENTRAL AMERICA.
San Diego, Nov. 30.
The Pacific Mail Steamship Ari
zona arrived at 7 o'clock a. m. to-day
from Panama, which port she left on
the 18th instant with 84 cabin and 264
steerage passengers, 693 tons of freight
and $73,000 in treasnre. She saw the
Constitution on the 23d; on the 26th
she spoke the Nevada, at Mazatlan.
The Arizona brought ten passengers
for this port and sailed at 9 o'clock A.
M. for San Francisco.
The Panama Star and Herald of the
18th instant says that the civil war in
augurated on the sth of April has end
ed. Correoso, with the consent of the
existing Government, took refuge on
the l\ S. steamer Benicia, and waited
for the steamer to Costa Rica.
The filibustering steamer General
Sherman has been making war on
Honduras and neighboring peaceful
republics under American colors. She
arrived at Aspinwall on the Bth in
stant. The Government of Columbia
ordered an investigation of her papers
by the officials at Aspinwall, who
failed to do their duty. Permission
was asked of the Government of Pana
ma for the Sherman to transfer her
arms and ammunition to the Pacific
Mail steamer Colon. It was refused,
but nevertheless the transfer was made
and they were reshipped to New York
the same day. Capt. Cushing, com
manding the U. S. steamer Wyoming,
at Aspinwall, seized the vessel for
using illegal ship papers and sailing
under the nag of Honduras. It was
proved she only possessed legal Amer
ican papers. A prize crew from the
Wyoming has taken charge ofthe ves
sel*. Captain Cushing has applied to
Washington for instructions regarding
the Virginius.
The same paper says the United
States steamer Wyoming, Captain
Cushing, sailed from Aspinwall on the
morning of the 11th, for Santiago de
Cuba, to look after American interests
in connection with the Virginius.
Captain Cushing is acting on instruc
tions from the United States Consul
ate at Kingston, Jamaica. The papers
of the Virginius, when she left Jamai
ca, were correct and in order, and as
no blockade of the Cuban coast has
been declared, she could be considered
guilty of smuggling only, and only
amenable for that offense. It is said
the Virginius has been sunk at Santi
ago de Cuba.
Commander Harmony, U. S. Navy,
with 250 men, is en route for San Fran
cisco to join the Kearsage, now fitting

FOREIGN NEWS.
London, Dec. 1.
Special dispatches to the morning
papers report that the bombardment
of Cartagena was continued on Satur
day. There is great distress among
non-combatants who have taken re
fuge in the suburbs. The city is filled
with wounded. Seventeen houses and
the principal hospital have been des
troyed. The government fleet re
mains inactive outside the harbor.
The Daily Telegraph says it would
be premature to regard the Virginius
difficulty as serious. The views of
President Grant on the subject, as will
appear in his message to Congress, are
known.
Dispatches from Cape Coast Castle
report another engagement with the
Ashantees, near Durquest, in which
forty Englishmen ana native Auxili
aries were killed or wounded. The
Ashantees boldly attacked the British
position at Abhracrampa, but were
driven off after a hard fight with a
loss of thirty. The British were pro
tected and their loss was trifling.
London, Dec. 1.
The ship Trimountain arrived at
Cardiff from New York early this
morning. She brought intelligence
of a dreadful disaster. It appears that
the steamer Ville de Havre, which left
,New York on the loth November for
Havre, under command of Captain
Surmount, came into collision at two
o'clock on the morning of the 23d of
November with the British ship Loch
erne from London, bound to New York
and sank her. Two hundred and sev
enty-six passengers of the Ville de
Havre were lost. The Trimountain
saved eight and brought them to Car
diff. Among tho passengers of the
Villo de Havre were Andrew Mc-
Creery, also several members of the
evangelical alliance returning from
New York. MoCreery was saved and
with him the son of Mr. Waite of the
Brevoort House, New York. The sis
ter of Mr. Waite was lost.

Havana, Nov. 30.
News of the settlement of the Vir
ginius question between Spain and the
United States, and the terms on which
it is based, were received here with
much excitement. Perfect orderpre
vails among nil. The chief authorities
of the Island assembled in conference
and sent a manifesto to the Spanish
Government, asking it to wait till it
had received a statement about the
Virginius case, which shows the right
of capture and the justice of the sub
sequent proceedings. The mass of the
people oppose the surrender of the Vir
ginius or yielding to pretensions which
may dishonor the Spanish flag. Tho
tone of the press accords with the pop
ular feeling. Extraordinary means
and resources are being created to re
sist any aggressive act, although
thinking people do not expect any,
knowing the prudence of the American
Government.

Governor Downey (or United States Senator.
Editors Herald:—Casserly has
resigned his seat in time for the Leg
islature to elect his successor. Surely
all Southern California should be
unanimous in presenting to the Legis
ture a Southern Californian for either
the long or the short term, us United
States Senator.
There is only one fit name which we
can offer. It is that of John G. Dow
ney. The State at large acknowledges
his merit, and his past services as
Governor of the State in a great crisis.
This is a commendation which the
people of California cannot overlook.
His name belongs to the State. There
is an exigency beyond the moment,
which we cannot quite reach by perti
nent argument just now, which ought
to prompt every Californian to send
John G. Downey to the Senate. In
due time. Governor Downey, as Uni
ted States Senator, can and will set
forth his reasons. The fitness of the
times requires it and if he will consent
to allow his friends to present his
name to the Legislature now in session,
we feel assured that this body cannot
ignore his olaims. Granger.

Additional particulars of Arizona
Apaches from the Cachise reservation
raiding into Sonora for plunder and
Indiscriminate murder, are almost
daily coming to hand. In the inter
ests of suffering humanity the Govern
ment of the United States should use
its power to stop the slaughter of our
peaceful neighbors. It is believed.that
Gen. Vandever, the LTnited States In
dian Inspector who recently made an
official visit to Cachise's reservation,
will make a report that will show how
the local agent blinds the public by
false reports and avoids thorough dis
cipline or fair investigation of the
conduct of the Apaches in his charge.
Santiago Redondo arrived from Al
tar, Sonora, yesterday, In pursuit of
thirteen horses stolen from him, which
were traced in the direction of the Ca
chise reserve. He brought a letter
from the Prefect of Altar, directed to
the commanding officer at Camp Grant
asking assistance in getting his stock
from that reserve. The Apaches re
cently stole 16 horses, which were
traced to the Cachise reservation. The
interested agent and others uphold the
Indians. An honest search proves that
the people of Sonora have suffered by
Cachise's Indians intensely more than
ever has been represented.*
