THE SPANISH OUTRAGE.
4 SPECK OF VAR UPON THE Nj
TTONAL HORIZON.
What is Thought of the Search OF tho
Florida on the High Seas In Official
Quarters at Washington-Wnl there
be War!
WASHINGTON. January I6,

WASHINGTON, January 16.
The reception by the Navy Department yes
tersay of the af1davits of the captain, officers
and crew of the Florida, giving in full detail,
with dates, names, &C., the account OF the
search OF that vessel on the high seas by two
Spanish men-of.war, created no little COM
ment 10 that quarter, as the silence of oil OF
our naval officers In the Gulf squadron had
led the department to believe, on mega
tive evidence, that the outrage was mythical.
The afidavits put the search of the Florida,
however, in most serious light. They show
that when that vessel was first brought to on
the ocean by solid shot from Spanish man
Of-War, she was without the marine league
restricted by International law, and on the
highway of nations, while the armed vessel
that ordered her search had her guns run out
and her decks cleared for action. In fact, the
evidence shows that the Spaniard followed
the vessel outside Of the marine league, and
then searched her. The second search was
after the Florida left Nassau, and by Spanish
gunboat, whose captain had been In Nassau
Tor six days while the Florida was there, and
therefore knew of the search of st. Thomas
and the innocent character of the latter YES
sci. Yet he put 10 sea, and again searched
the Florida. 1t is stated that the government,
adbering to the principle re-established in the
Trent case, will demand of Spain, first, an
apology for Its repeated outrage on this yes
sell; second, the punishment Of the officers
who committed it, and, third, Indemnity for
damages sustained. II is believed the apology
will be made, and that there will be no war,
though there Is pretty stiff war feeling here,
outside of official quarters.

Chicago sufferers, allowing contributions to
be entered duty free, was passed, and draw
back allowed upon contributions already I'M
ported. The same applies to materials actu-

The Citadel Of Life is in q state Of siege all
through the year, bnt is never more closely In
vested than in mld.winter. The liver is usually
somewhat torpid, and the bowels more or less
constipsted stI this season, and dyspepsia often
assumes Its most aggravated form in cold and
wet weather. In short, the sluggish system
seems inclined to intermlt or shirk some OF Its
most important dulles under the influence OF
low temperature, and requires wholesome slimu-
lstion. The spur reduired Is H0STErTER'S
STOMACH BITTERs, the only medicine which
quickens The action OF the secretive organs, and
briggs out the latent vitality Of the system, with
out creating any febrile symptoms, or the Slight

that field being left open to the concocters OF
preparations which can not by any possibility
reach the lungs but as specific for the constitu.
tlonal and physical weakness which invite pulmo-

AN APPEAL FOR MEDICAL REFORM.-The East
River Medical Association, OF New York, at Its
last regular meeting approved the report OF
committee, which included stringent bill to
suppress criminal abortions and regulate the
practice of medicine in that State, and strong
efforts will be made to have the bill passed by
the new Legis ature. 1t provides for the pun
ishment of aborLionists and irregular medical
practitioners BY fine aud imprisonment. The
report complains Of the want Of proper laws 10
regulate the practice of medicine, and AYERS
that the charters of the medical colleges are
a farce, and the titles conferred by them q
solemn mockery. As to quack medicines for
female complaints, the evils produced by them
are scarcely inferior to those resulting from
the practices of professional abortionists; 3d..
s5l stamps were required for the product OF
one of these manufactures last year. The re-
port makes the following serious charge
against the regular physicians: ut cannot BIZ
denied, however, that this practice has been
more or less promoted by the too ready con-
sent OF the physician, when appealed to for his
services by patients suffering from injuries re-
ceiyed at the hanCis of abortion Sis; thus, after
becoming the plant tool of the charlatau, finish.
ing the delestabe work he had brgun, and
with view of protecting bis patient from
scandal, failing to bring the criminal to condign
punishment" Ifphyslcians would not 'know-
ingly give their professional services TO
patients OF this character. to shield either
patient or abor,ioDists, 1t would deal an almost
fatal blow to this growing evil"
