HAVANA, Feb. 5.-The continued successful
operations of the Spanish forces in the field
against the Rebels still in arms is hurrying mat
ters to a crisis, and gives further evidence that
the final surrender cannot long be delayed. We
have just learned that the insurgents have been
attacked in their stronghold at Najasa and en-
tirely defeated. Their loss was fifty killed.
many wounded, and large number of prisoners
we're taken, together with many of their fami-
lies. The affair was very decisive and the re-
suit, though not unexpected, will be crushing to
those who will hope against hope, and who
appear determined to seek death by the bullet
the bayonet, or the garrote, instead of giving
themselves up and receiving the pardon granted
to others who, seeing the utter hopelessness of
their cause, have voluntarily surrendered.
We also learn of the coming in of another
insurgent of importance whose surrender will
doubtless have an important influence with
others, and induce them to do likewise. Jesus
del Sol, chief of the Cinco Villas, has given
himself up to the Spanish authorities, and will
have the same treatment as that extended
to Porro and his associates. The surrender OF
others of equal Importance is now looked for

THE ROMAN INUNDATION.
An Unparalleled Rise In the Tlbel

NAPLES, Jan. S.-The recent disastrous deluge
is the one subject which absorbs public atten-
ton. Last week people could only gaze with
wonder and apprehension on the rising waters;
this week they have been realizing the i'm
mense damage which has been done. Hun
dreds of thriving families reduced to ruin;
thousands who are houseless, and that,
too at q most inclement season, when cold and
rain so greatly increase the evils of poverty.
In the Corso, where were some of the richest
shops of the city, now that the waters have re.
tired might have been seen before each door a
mountain apparently OF mud, but in which was
involved the entire wealth of family.
Everything was destroyed, and those who
had entertained hopes of saving some portion
of their property were soon undeceived. "The
jewellers" says an eye witness, "found a stra-
tum of mire, in which sparkled gems intermin-
gled with rags and fragments of various objects.
Linen and woollen dTapers found stuffs, and
rich silks floating on mire; satin cravats and
artificial flowers and laces and gloves were
intermingled with sand and mud
while books and papers were re-
duced to a paste, and china, furniture,
and the ten thousand little nothings provided
Tor the celebration of New Years Day were
confused and smashed together as if another
invasion of barbarians had taken place, to
whom free license had been given to destroy
what they did not steal. Every merchant and
tradesman, therefore, in the quarter afflicted
destroyed has been rendered unserviceabe, and
many family who sat down on Christina s
Day in easy circumstances has been reduced to
want.
Beside the shops all those places of resort so
well known to visitors suffered in an equal de-
gree. All the lower part of the Hotel de Rome,
the largest hotel in the city, was under water,
and gayly decorated cafes, into which the Ti6er
burst, and laid a thick deposit of mud. 1t still
is raining, and who knows but that the euemy
may be upon them again; still it is a melancholy
consolation that nothing remains to be de-
stroyed. The calculation is that there are 2OOO
families without home, and God knows when
they will be able to return to apartments go wet
and soddened that fever and other maladies are
sure to be lurking in them.

Special Despatch 10 the EUeHi1g Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The Democrats called
for the reading of every bill and resolution of
fered in the House this morning, and also called
the yeas and nays so as to use up the morning
bill from coming up. The idea is to defeat the
passage of this bill at the present session. in the
hope that at the next session it will not have
enough friends to pass it.
The Ways and Means Committee had full
meeting to-day.
The Income Tax Question.
TsAll the members being present, the repeal of
the income tax was discussed, and it was agreed
not to decide the matter till tomorrow. In the
meantime the conference committee of the two

has the right to originate revenue bill will
hold a meeting with the view of trying to come
10 an understanding.

A FIGHTING PARSON.

Disorder in n Pennsylvania Revival Meeting
ParsOu Puts n Head on the Offenders In the
Name Of the Lord
Not very far from Lancaster is little ediice
called the Octorara Methodist Episcopal Church,
over whose congregation Parson Gregg some
times presides. Parson Gregg is a man who
fears the Lord, but never stands in dread of
man, be he never so mighty. The Octorara
Church, generally known as the "Gray Horse"
stands in q sort of dese eTt and lies one-half In
Pennsylvania and one-half in Maryland; that is,
the old Mason and Dlxon's line cuts it in two,
and leaves the sacred building equally divided
between the two States. Whenever there is a
revival the ungodly from the southern side of
the line come over and raise Cain among the
faithful. They congergate about the door and
issue cat-calls, and they swear and cut up gen.
orally like barbarians. When meeting is over
they force their attentions upon the young
ladies of the church, and on meeting the parson
they always insist upon his taking drink. This
invariably offends the good man, the more since
they are almost always tipsy, and invariably
blasphemous.
Lately a party of them came over the line and
disturbed the meeting. Parson Gregg paused
moment in the delivery of his sermon, and roll
ing up his sleeves, uttered himself as follows:-
Young men! If there's another dsordery
sound from among your disreputahle crowd I'll
come down from this sacred desk, and in the
name of the Lord put head on every mothers
son of you. Get down on your knees, you
hounds, and pray for better manners, or else
levant."
saying WHICH pIOCtcuGu VIII HIS s6TIuOU
a most edifyiDg discourse.
In moment the noise again began. An au-
dible swear of the first magnitude filed the room
with its bad odor, and caused the worshippers to
shrink within themselves with horror.
Parson Gregg came down from the pulpit in
a state of quiet rage. lie took off his coat and
hung it over the chancel rail, and then went for
those wicked young men. only one of whom he
succeeded in overhauling within the portals of
the church. Him he basted satisfactorily. Fol-
lowing close upon the trail of the others, he
came up with the most outrageous heathen of
all, one Jim Page Bedloe, whom he tackled with
out word of grace. Parson Gregg gave Bedloe
a most clerical and canonical walloplng. When
he had finished pounding him with his fists he
resorted to his heels. jim went home wiser and
sorer than when he came.
The Parson then returned to his pulpit and
finished his sermon. He will never be troubled
any more.
