an imminent and widespread revolution in
Mexico. There is no reason to believe that our
government has any policy in view Of anarchy
there. Our foreign relations arc in such criti-
cal condition all around, and the members of
the Cabinet so much at variance, that Ii is not
unlikely hat tho President will call Congress

Of 1910 regular soldiers, includig officers, ar

service from Spain since December IS, 1868
This being all the reiRforcements added to the
Spanish army in Cuba since the beginning of
the revolution, it is evident that it must be q
great deal weaker than it was at the outset.

poorer than sgass Supposed.

A dispatch was received in WASHINGTON on
Wednesday by the British minister from the
English consul at Havana giving an account
OF another Spanish outrage on the high seas.
According to this dispatch, a Spanish war yes-
sci hailed an English brig at sea, and the lat
ter refusing to stop, was fired into by the
Spaniard and sunk. This is the substance of
the dispatch which Mr.. Thornton immediately
sent to his government over the cable. AS tho
dispatch is extremely meagre, not stating
whether the information respecting the out
rage was received originally from the Spanish
man-of-war or from some survivors Of the
sunken brig, the authorities hore scarcely
know whether to credit it or not.

Of New Jersey, Colonel Forney, General Van
Wyck, of New York, and Others who started
on Southern trip two weeks ago, have re-
turned to Washington. They went as far as
Florida, stopping at the principal cities and
towns on the way. They all concur in the re-
port that the industrial prospects have i'm
proved. They say the negroes are working
better this year than last, and the whites gen.
orally seem to be more Industrious, and the
crops look we'll. The people are anxious for
Northern immigration, and millions Of acres
OF good lands are offered to capitalists. The
party were everywhere we'll received, and rail
road companies provided special cars on the |
trains for their accommodation free OF charge.

winds which have prevailed for several days,
and the slight frosts Of Friday and yesterday
morning, have caused the cotton to die out,
and on the light sandy lands great fears are
felt that the stand will be destroyed. Corn is
small and does not look healthy, the cold
having given it yellow, stunted appearance.
