MADRID, Nav lit is officially stated that
the Carlist bands have disappeared altogether
from the department OF Giupuzzoa. Amescuas,
the stronghold of the insurrectionisis in the de-
partment of Navarro, will be stormed to-day by
the government forces.
New YORK, May IA letter from Emilio
CASTELAR, explains the troubles in Spain and the
cause of the election outrages. He says that the
opponents of the miniSterialistS were outraged
by arrests aud Imprisonment. The polls were
surrounded by ministerialistS to prevent the OPP
ponentS from reaching them. Forces u the
army and navy went to the polls in regiments in
line of battle, their votes given them by their
officers,
Besides this the returns were falsfed, and in
some districts the Judge of the election turned
enormous republican majOrities into minorities
bya system OF counting similar to that of Tam
many. Many Spaniards desire republican and
almost all object to foreign dynasty, and the
election outrages were plainly announced from
the fatal day on which, through the combGa-
tons of English policy, foreign dynasty was
placed at the head of Spain. He explained the
combination of radical republicans and reac-
tionary BourbonS on the ground that all are
united in sentiment of national independence
holding to the formula of "the government of
Spain by Spauiards."

numerous. The city of Pampeluna seems to be
the objective point Of the CarlistS, who are con-
ceptratug their forces with q view to attacking

panies Of his troops have already deserted, and

1t is reported that seven CarliSt prisoners, in

IsrEcrAL DISPATCH TO THE WORCESTER SPY. ]
WASHINGTON, D. c., MAY 1,

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 1.
TARIFF, TEA AND COFFEE.
The house agreed TO the senate tea and coffee
bill, with but ten members voting against it,
This nnanimty does not indicate that the en-
tire house is in favor of placing tea and coffee
on the free list, but the minority recognized the
fact that the bill must pass, and thought it
wiser TO let the matter be settled at onceS
1t will probably have very little effect on the
tariff bill under debate in the house. No doubt
it will be urged by some as a reason why the
tariff should be disturbed further, but maiori-
ty Of the ways and means committee hold that
it is entirely safe to 20 on and make all the re-
ductions proposed in the bill in addition to plae-
ing tea and coffee on the free list; and they are
confident that majority of the house will sus-
tain them. The president signed the bill before
Two in the afternoon. The
TARIFF DEBATE IN THE HOUSE
Has been quite interesting to-day, Mr.. Keey's
speech was listened to with close attention by a
large number of members. 1t was full of inter
esting facts, and his argument in behalf of high
protection was well made The consideration of
the bill under the five-minute rule will occupy
three weeks, unless there is breakdown before
that time. Prominent members of the WAYS
and means express the hope that it will not oc-
cupy more than a fortnight, but it cannot be
passed in so brief a time unless the house should
early next week, take up and pass the senate
adjournment.
THE FEELING TOWARDS ADAMS.
Mr.. Eldridge, of Wisconsin, one of the oldest
democrats in the house, declared in presence of
half dozen republican members this afternoon,
that if Adams should he nominated at Cincin-
natl, and the democratic national convention
should take HIM up, hesshould support General
Grant, as he infinitely preferred the latter TO
Adams. The feeling against Adams among the
democratic members of congress is violent, and
ii has its effects upon the convention
MISCELLANEOUS.
1t is not believed here that there is any truth
IN the rumors of trouble with Spain. The rep
rcsentation Of the Republican this morning that
war is imminent is not warranted by the facts.
Senator Wilson urges that congress should
remain in session through the mouth of June,
and when the nominations have been made
at Cincinnati and Philadelphia that the
republican members of congress should
invite rather than shun debate. A
thorough debate of all the issues and of the
claims of the parties, he believes, would help
the republican party. The majority Of the SEN
ate, however, do not agree with Mr.. Wilson, but
hold that just as soon as the necessary egisla-
ton is accomplished, that congress should adj
