Rumored Request of Spain for French
Intervention In Cuban AHaIxs-
Important Modification
in the Government.

PARIS, July
A rumor has been current that Spain
had applied to France requesting her to
advise the Government OF the United
States to preserve strict neutrality in
the case of Cuba, but it is utterly un-
founded and may be considered simply
canard.
Notwithstanding official denial, the
modification of the French Ministry Is
Imminent. Menaher, representing the
system OF personal government, Is sure
to retire and give place to a new combi-
nation in accord with the principle of
parliamentary government. When this
purely constitutional revolution Is ef-
fected, 1t may be considered almost
certain that Emil Olivier will be the
chief OF the new Ministry. The Empe-
ror, it is said, is willing to abandon the
arbitrary power with which he has
ruled since the coup de etGt, and share
the burthen OF government with the
country and the Legislature. The Sen
ate will soon assemble and carry out
necessary change.
ENGLAND.
The Times Advocating tho Church
Bill.
LONDON, July s.
The Times has an article on the Irish
Church bill. 1t says this bill must be-
come a law at this session. Parliament
must destroy Protestant supremacy
and establish religious equality in Ire
land, but not attempt to set up multi
plicIty of establishments. II the eccle-
siastioRl property of Ireland is to be put
on a permanent footing we must recog-
nize these facts, and apply so much of
the surplus as may be necessary to sup
ply homesteads for the ministers of the
whole people.
An English Lord in Police Court.
Lord Darlington was mp before the
police court to-day. on charge of as.
sault and provoking Messrs. Grenville
and Murray to fight a duel. The
trouble between these gentlemen arose
from certain article alleged to have
been written by Mr.. Murray. After
the examination Lord Darlington was
bound over to keep the peace and held
for trial on the second count. After
these proceedings disgraceful and re-
markable scene occurred in the court
room. The partizans OF Murray, who
were present in great force, attempted
to seize a box of papers which had
been stolen. In the melee which an
sued blows we're freely exchanged and
the magistrates table overturned.
Twelve policemen were called in who
separated the combatants and restored
order.
The Star on tie Amended Church
Bill.
The Morning Star says the British
people have no right to indulge the
Peers, who would deprive them of the
luxury of being just. Hardly one OF
the amendments to the bill agreed upon
by the House of Lords can be tolerated
by the country.

MaIayan FerOcity.

European resident of Macassar gives
vivid description of this scene in Malay
One morning, as we were sitting at break
fast, Mr.. Carters servant informed us that
there was an ''Amok" in the village-in other
words, that man was running a muck"
Orders were Immediately given to shut and
fasten the gates of our inclosure; but, hearing
nothing for some time, we went out, and
found there had been false alarm, owing to
a slave having run away, declaring he would
''amok" because his master wanted to sell
him. short time before man had been
killed at a gaming table because, having lost
q dollar more than he possessed, he was going
to ''amok" Another had killed or wounded
seventeen people before he could be de-
stroyed In their wars whole regiment of
these people will sometimes agree to ''amok,
and then rush on with such energetic despe-
ration as to be very formidable to men not
so excited as themselves. Among the an
clients these would have been looked upon as
heroes or demigods who sacrifice themselves
for their country. Here it is simply said,
they made 'amok."
Macassar is the most celebrated place in
the East for running a muck. There Is
said to be one or two a month on the average,
and five, ten, or twenty persons are some
times killed or wounded at one of them. 1t
