- Captain General De Rodas has at last re-
turned to Havana, and reports that no organ

Per contra, a Key West dispatch says that the
Spanish troops have been defeated in several
engagements with the insurgent leaders, and
that their situation in the Eastern Department
is decidedly bad.
- An immense fire occurred in Manchester,
New Hampshire, on Friday last. The area
burned over is from five to six acres, and the
amount of property destroyed is not far from
$3.50, ,0O0 one-half of which is probably covered
by insurance. At least two hundred families
are thrown out of their homes by this awful
calamity.
The Democrats in Congress and elsewhere
are making preparations for starting a party

A serious difficulty occurred at Gadsdcn,

The Fourth at Chillicothe.

The Fourth at Ch1ll1cothe.
EDS. CoURiER The celebration Of
the fourth at Chillicothe, was a
grand time. A large crowd present,
representing several townships, the
large procession from Blakesburg,
who came with martial music and
banners flying, deserve special men
ton; several were there from Ottum-
wa. The crowd was vsriously est.
mated from fifteen to twenty-five
hundred. The speaking was in the
beautiful grove near the residence of
Rev. W. A. Nye, who appeared to the
best advantage we ever saw him; he
was chairman Of the committee of
arrangements, and made his best
efforts to make every one enjoy the
occasion: Mr.. George Myers, was
marshall, and under his skillful and
kind direction, all things were done
in order.
Mr.. w. J. Mitchell, of Ottumwa,
was the orator of the day, and his
address reflected credit on himself
and was received with universal
satisfaction. Rev. J. NJ. Mann
made an able and impressive
prayer. Martial music and patriotic
songs enlivened the hour. Short ad-
dresses and appropriate toasts closed
the hours so pleasantly spent, and all
agree that it was good to be there.
We enjoyed the day finely, among
the many old friends whom we have
met in those groves over tho Des
Moinss, in our early acquaintance in
Iowa. Many of them we would love
to mention in this connection, but
time and space will not allow.

The New York Tribune is dispose

The Now York Tribune is disposed
to treat with scorn and rldicule as
well as misrepresent the move on tho
part OF the West and South, TO OBJ
tain q fair share of the currency of
of the country, by a redistribution
of it. The Tribune calls the scheme
one Of expansion, which is but an
attempt, through falsehood, to defeat
a just measure, which it cannot meet
and oppose fairly. This journal. so
long of national reputation and circu-
iation, because it has seemed to
occupy high ground and not confined
to the advocacy Of local interest
entirely, is fast losing caste in the
West. 1t seems to be even nettled
to such degree at tho growing
power and influence of the Great
West, that it loses its temper and
descends to the tricks of the dema.
gouge, to defeat measures of palpable
justice to the Northwestern States.
Read what it says:
Tho Western expansionists are
fully imbued with the selfish spirit OF
the famous and favorite demand of
their section, "Whole hog or none"
If they can't have $95, 100000 moro
currency, they won't take paltry
$40, 900, 900; and declare that the
Currency Expansion bill which they
sent to the Senate and Conference
Committee has come back to them q
Currency Contraction bill. This is
base ingratitude on their part, which
we hope the Senate will punish by
refusing to grant them expansion Of
any kind. Ha

From Chicago.

A Washington special gives the
vote on tho San Domingo treaty
Senator Yates, of Illinois, opposed
the treaty. Mr.. Trumbnll also oppes-
ed it, though absent. Harlan and
Howell both voted for the treaty. 80
Thayer and Upton voted against the
treaty.
Chicago, July 2.--The election
o-day was the quietest ever held
hero. The vote is extremely hight
but so far, the returns, which come
in very slowly, indicate that it is
almost unanimous for the constitu-
ton, and that the separate articles
have all . large majority. The
minority representation clause runs
behind somewhat, but it is safe to say
it ia also carried. The vote for jud.
ges, so far as received is SO mixed
that it is hardly possible to give an
approximately correct opinion rs to
the result.
Chicago, July 3.-Complete returns
from the city give McAllister, for
Supreme Judge, about 1900 majority;
Booth and Farwell, Republican,, for
Circuit judges, about 1000, and
Rogers, Democrat, Circuit Judge,
about 1900. The Constitutions and
all the separate clauses were carried
by an overwhelming majority. Scat
tering returns from large number
of towns in the northern and central
part of the State show light vote,
but Indicate q decided majority for
the Constitution and all the separate
clauses, except the minority represen.
tation, which seems probably reject.
