The condition of Spain grows worse from
day to day. A cable special to the HERALD
from Cartagena informs us that the trouble
over the mutinous men-of-war continues to be
most exciting cause Of alarm, and an engage
ment between the mutineers and the govern
ment was not deemed improbable. Though
one report Is to the effect that the act of the
German commander in seizing the mutnous
vessels as pirates has been disavowed, it seems
more likely that he will BE- sus-
tanned by his government Indeed. our
special correspondent informs us that
both the English and German govern
ments have instructed their Consuls to treat
the rebel vessels as pirates The arrival OF
Cartagena Of additional English and German
men-of-war strengthens the opinion that armed
interference is contemplated by the two
Powers If the Carlists or the insurgents
should retaliate for any interference with the
rebel ships by these great Powers and carry out
the threatened massacre of all foreigners in
Cartagena, an armed protectorate would in
evitably be placed over Spain. 1t is not to be
assumed for moment that Germany would
submit to the murder of her Consul and
people without exerting her strength to allay
the internal disorders which make such
crimes possible.
This is indeed dark hour for the Spanish
Republic. Spain seems incapable Of submit
ting to any authority whatever. The world
hailed with reclamation the news that Isabella
II. was driven from the throne, but only dis
Indignation has followed. For time Prim
King the grim old general gave to Spain soon
found that he had undertaken an impossible
task in trying to govern an intractable people.
Since Amadeus gave up his throne in despair
the Spaniards have been showing themselves
more and more intractable. The operations
of the Carlists have never been of sufficient
importance in themselves to imperil the Repub-
lie if the Republic had the support of an earn
est and loyal majority. But the truth
seems to be that there is no majority in Spain.
| A majority of the Spanish people do not want
Don Carlos for their king. There is not
majority favorable to the aspirations of Don
Alfonso. If either succeeded 10 the throne to-
morrow it would not be many days till
his government would be in as extreme
peril as is the Republic to-day. Spain
is country of factions, none Of which ever
unite for any purpose Even the friends of
republican government are divided into fac
tons, which are fighting the Republic. titus
comes that internal disorder prevails all over
the country that the English Parliament dis
cusses the question of allowing belligerent
rights to the Carlists, and that foreign pro-
tectorate looms up in the future for the Span
ish people.

The Board Of Health seem to be content
with their first raid on the bone boilers, and
show a disposition to tolerate them in their
new quarters on the river This is indeed @
change for the worse, in q sanitary point of
view, for the disease breeding odors can be
more widely diffused on a crowded water
thoroughfare than in q single district of the
city. The removal of these bone boiling and
fat melting nuisances from the North River is
necessity as imperative as the destruction of
their sheds and ofal docks. There is no ex-
cuse for dealing gingerly with sub-
ject of such vital importance, and
the health authorities will be held
responsible for the consequences if they
neglect to finish the good work they so
auspiciously begun. A great deal, too, re-
mains to be done at Washington Market, the
vicinity Of which is yet Uttered with garbage
and encountered with sidewalk distractions of
the most offensive kind. Barrels of fruit and
heaps of vegetables barricade the sidewalk at
every step in this part the of town, and barrels
full Of garbage lined many of the streets dur
ing the hottest hours yesterday. No half way
measures will suffice when the health of q
great city is at stake. The Board Of Health
have all the means at their command to do
their work thoroughly and they must not re-
lax their exertions until the grand object of
sanitary cleanliness is attained

PROSECUTION, &C.

END OF THE WHARToN-VAN Ness PoI-
SON CAsE-ABANDoNMENT OF THE
PRosECUToN, &C;-
In the Circuit Court for Anne Arun-
del county, this morning, April 26, the
series of celebrated Wharton poison
trials came to quiet and unobtrusive
end by ''stet," entered at the instance
of the prosecution, in the case charging
Mrs. Wharton with attempting to muir
der Mr.. Eugene Van Ness,of Baltimore,
by poison. This action on the part OF
the State was anticipated at the time of
the disagreement of the jury. 1t was
known definitely week or so ago that
this would be the course Of the State in
the case, land therefore the announcement
created no surprise to the very few who
were present, when the States attorney
practically abandoned the prosecution,
The proceedings in the court were as
follows:
Mr. Revell, States attorney for Anne
Arundel county, said: sin the case of
State VS.. Elizabeth Wharton indicted
for the attempt to poison Eugene Van
Ness, propose, with the permission Of
your honors, to enter stet, and mas
much as the case has gained notoriety
in this State and elsewhere, and been
regarded with much interest, desire
briefly to state the reasons which have
impeiled this course. As is well known,
Mrs. Wharton was tried at the October
term, 1871, of the court, for the murder
of General Ketchum, and, after a most
protracted and exhausting trial, lasting
nearly two months, the prisoner was
acquitted by jury of her country, the
trial entailing great cost to the city OF
Baltimore, and bankruptcy, as L am
creditably informed, to the accused.
Again she was tried for the attempt on
Mr.. Van Ness's life, and the jury, after
another long trial, failed to agree, and
were discharged. The case is therefore
to be tried over, continued, removed or
stetted. If tried in the county, L very
much doubt whether any other result
would be attained at the last trial, II
continued, no good could result; II re
moved, the States officers would be re
CURED, under the act Of 1868, to make
affidavit that justice cannot be done the
same in Anne Arundel county, an atii-
davit which / am not prepared to make:
have. therefor, concluded, under all
the circumstances, after deliberatlon and
COUNSEL to enter stet, which is done
with the knowledge and assent OF the
States officers, for the city of Baltimore,
and also of the honorable attorney gen
eral
The court said-"Mr. Clerk, ENTER the
stet ="
There were few in the courtroom at
the time of Mr.. Revells remarks, and
there were no remarks or excitement OF
any kind. Mrs. Wharton is in Phlla-
del phia, and was duly informed OF the
''stet. "-.annnpolis Correspondence Of
The Bali. Sun.
