well received by the Sultan.
LONDON, July 7.-Subscriptions are
circulating here and at Liverpool for a
fund in aid Of the families of the officers
and sailors of the steamer Oneida, which
was run down off Yokohama by the
British steamer Bombay. Sir John
Lubbock, Of London, is at the head Of
the movement, and it bids fair to be a
success.
The Brothers Settle, the New York
tobacconists have been discharged on
surrendering into the hands of the
Court fl3,000, an amount sufficient to
cover their alleged defalcation.
LONDON, July There is much ex-
citement not only here but on the con-
tinent in view OF the threatened Euro
pean complication on the subject Of
Prince Leopolds candidature for the
Spanish throne
Dispatches from Paris say there is a
strong feeling in France, even outside
of official circles, against the bestowal
of the Spanish crown upon any Hohen-
zollern
The tranquilizing assurances of the
French Emperor have exerted a bene-
fetal effect in Paris, and particularly in
Bourse. Rentes this morning opened
at 10 francs and 9j centimes, or Is seem
times higher than at the close of yes
terday. British Consols opened deci-
dedly lower to-day, in sympathy with
French Rentes, which have declined
heavily within the past few days.
American securities, which are also off
a trifle, were influenced slightly by the
price Of gold at New York.
PARIS, July THE authorities here
have been assured that fully three
fourths of the members of the Spanish
Cortes are favorable to the elevation of
the Prince of Hohenzollern to the Span
ish Crown. There seems to be no doubt
that the King of Prussia is also favora-
ble to the project and refuses any ex-
planation in reply to the note from the
French Government
Dispatches from Madrid announce
that at a council of ministers held yes
terday they authorized the Minister of
Foreign Affairs to present the name Of
the new candidate Of Hohenzollern to
the Cortes which will probably be con-
vcned expressly for that purpose
The council of ministers hope that
the Prince will receive more than 10
votes, the minimum required by a reso-
luton passed 10y the Cortes on the Sd of
June. The Prince is expected to ar
rive at Madrid early in November. A
Spanish fleet will be dispatched TO bring
him.
The Gaulois, an independent organ,
has the following in its issue of this
morning General Prim, in reply to the
dispatches Of Senor Olozaga. Spanish
Ambassador in this city, and that he
acted with the consent of Regent Ser
rano, unotfcially and outside of the
finding difficulty in obtain
ing candidate for the Spanish throne,
he addressed the Prince of Hohenzol-
lern, who unites many desirable quail
iricS hut whose personal importance
was thought insufficient to
give umbrage to France. As
such an emotion has been cited
General Prim retracts and assures the
French Government of the sincerity of
his intentions. The Gaulois adds
Then the question is settled SO far as
Spain is concerned. 1t remains TO be
seen what Prussia will do after the
scene in the French Chamber vestcr-
day"

in well informed circles that an alliance
between France and Austria has been
conCllded.
PARIS, July The Minister of For
cign Affairs has received a full confr-
nation Of the massacre of the French
in Pekin. Instructions will be imme-
diately sent to the commander of the
French fleet in Chinese waters. No
special expedition was dispatched as
the naval force was deemed sufficient
to vindcate the outraged dignity Of
France
LONDON, July The Morning Post
says the Great Powers will be disposed
to sanction any energetic action on the
part of France for the punishment Of
the Chinese, and it is thought the Post
is seTi-officially inspired to speak for
the English Government
PARIS, July There is great agita
ton and activity in the Foreign Office.
II is said that scores of kilograms
passed between Prim and Bismark be-
tore the intrigue was discovered 10y the
French Minister at Berlin. 1t is not
believed that France would agree to a
conference OF the Great Powers on the
question, rs she desires TO settle directly
with Prussia and Spain. Austria so
far maintains strict neutrality on the
question. 1t is asserted that French
fleet will Immediately sail, via Brcst.
