So far as the reported difference with
Spain Is concerned, 1t Is reported from
Washington that the Government 10
not dissatisfied with Minister SIckles,
that he has not exceeded his inslruc-
tIons, and that the friendly relations

tives and officers Of the department,

sist In the escape OF Yerger, have been
removed to the State PenIte ntIary, un>
der q strong guard. One Of the prisoners
is sick, and remains In confinement at

The interest In the Virginia Senato-
rial campaign Increases daily, and al
though the contest developes but little
excitement, the fact that the LegIsla>
ture meets 30 soon 90 the 9th OF next
month makes the subject one Of con-
siderable Importance. The opinion that

election. Governor Walker will not
be q candidate for Senator, and the
present indications seem 10 be that
Lieutenant Governor Lewis will be
chosen as one Senator, and General
Robert Williams the other, The latter,
however, declines to enter the contest
personally, and remains at his duties
IN the War Department. His personal
strength is very great, and his friends
very active.
