WarmOth Seeking TO Compromise.
New ORLEANS, January lin the
case of Alderman Logan, who was ar.
rested for killing Clarence johnson, as
reported yesterday, the jury resumed its
session at noon to-day, and after taking
testimony it was clearly shown that the
killing was unavoidable, being in self
defense. Verdict, justifiable homicide.
There is still a great deal of sup.
pressed excitement on account Of the
contest of Warmoth against the reform
portion Of the Legislature. The gain is
constantly on the part OF the reform
men, and it is asserted and believed
that Warmoth is anxious to compro-
mise, and has through his emissaries
made overtures, which are not replied
to, as an attempt to compromise is on
his part confession OF failure. War
moth has intimated that he will remove
from the halls OF the Legislature the
scores Of armed police, il a pledge is
made not to impeach him. The Legis-
lature, when once more in business,
will probably make several impeach
ments, and especially General Heron,
Warmoth's s usurping Secretary of State,
and Conway, State Superintendent Of
Education.

THE SPANISH WAX.
Particulars OF the Search OF Inc
Florida &c.

WASHINGTON January l7.-Unfor,
tunately for those correspondents who
are trying very hard 10 prove that the
Spanish gunboats did nothing more
than their duty in firing in and over
hauling the Florida and in doing SO
they are protected by treaty stlpuIa-
tons, there is another side to the
story. 1t has been proved TO the sat-
isfaction of the authorities here that
two Spanish war vessels did, at different
times, on the high seas, fire into, over,
haul, board and search the
steamer Florida, an American yes
sci flying the American flag
1t is also proved by an official letter
from the com mmander of the Shawmut
that the captain Of the Spanish war
vessel, Rasco Nunez de Balboa, prom
ised to allow the Florida to proceed to
sea without hindrance OF any kind.
1t seems that when the commander OF
the Shawmut received his instructions
from Secretary Robson to escort the
Florida on her way to New York and
to protect her against all interference
from the Spanish vessels, he communi-
Gated these instructions to Captain
Rasco Nunez de Balboa, who disclaimed
any intention of interfering with the
sailing Of the Florida, and went so far
as to pledge himself not to interfere with
that vessel in any manner. In view OF
this pledge on the part ofthe Spanish cap
tain, the commander Of the Shawmut
did not consider it necessary to escort
the Florida. So the latter vessel sailed,
and it is proved, to the satis;action OF
the Government, was unwarrantably
molested on the high seas, in conse-
quence of which this Government has
laid the matter before Senor Roberts,
the Spanish Minister here, who is OF
the opinion that his Government will
promptly apologize for the outrage.
High legal authority expresses its
opinion that article Is, of the treaty OF
1895, has no bearing upon the subject
at all. The President is not anxious
for war with Spain, yet at the same
time he is determined toprotect, at all
hazards, the rights and property OF
owners on land and sea, and with this
policy he will hot tolerate any inter
ference at home or abroad.
