Home Ornce. Bruce Is 10 De made peer,
and will succeed Lord Ripon as President Of
the Council. Bonham Carter succeeds Baxter
as Joint Secretary of the Treasury. Arthur
Peel becomes the Liberal whip. John Bright
Joins the Cabinet as Chancellor of the Duchy
of Lancaster. Further particulars of the
farmers rebellion in Japan are furnished by
mail. Ten thousand of them attacked the
Government castle at Fukuoka, killed six
officials and burned the buildings. Four
other officials committed suicide when they
saw the rebels overpowering them. The
telegraph wires were cut, and all the
roads barricaded. The houses of all the
farmers who would not join the instruction
were burned, and the dwellings of rich men
and the banks robbed. The insurgents are
said to number at least 10000. The cause of
the revolt is that the Government has re-
qured the taxes of the farmers to be paid in
money instead of produce. together with the
probable failure of the rice CROP. A Lon
don dispatch says: The report that Mr..
Motley illness was the result of an apoplec-
tic stroke is incorrect. He was suffering from
a very severe attack of neuralgia but is now
much better and expects soon to be COM
pletey restored. 1t is denied that Prince
Arthur is betrothed to Princess Thyria, of
Denmark.
, THE insurgents in Spain are rapidly losing
ground. Valencia has Internationally sur
rendered, and the submission of Cartagena is
expected to follow Immediately. The Vors-
lanai Zeitung, of Vienna. reports that Count
de Chambord has accepted the throne of
France, formal tender OF which was recently
made him by deputation of Legitimists.
Henri Rochefort has been sent, with other
convicts, to the penal colony of New Caledo-
MIA A large rice mill at Stepney, suburb
of London, has been burned. The loss is
IS, 000, 900.
A DOUBTFUL report has reached New York
to the effect that Gen. Portfolio, at the head of
5000 men, had captured Cienfuegos and pro-
claimed Don Carlos King Of Spain. 1t is
reported from London that the Great Eastern
has succeeded in recovering the lost cable of
1865.
The passage of the bill by the Spanish
Cortes for the emancipation of slavery in
Porto Rico is said to have been effected
through the instrumentality of Minister
Sickles. 1t is even understood that it was
plainly intimated in the Cortes that, unless
Spain now in this hour of her extremity
should keep her faith with the United States,
it might be considered that the day of free
Cuba has arrived. So says a well-informed
Washington correspondent. Many stran-
gers are leaving Vienna, and the number of
visitors to the Exposition decreases daily.
REWARD of merit has been awarded at
cal literature in the Department of Instruc-
ton. A desperate fight took place recently
on the Curragh of Kildare, between two Irish
regiments. Several were killed and many Sc
verely wounded
THE monarchical movement in France which
hedges about the Count de Chamord is per-
sistently kept up by the Legitimists. They
have prepared a sort of governmental con-
tract and, if he will agree to be bound by it.
they will agree to make him King of France.
If he does not accept their terms, their infiu-
ence will be given in favor of the Republic.
Madrid special to the New York Herald
SAYS: Further complications have arisen from
the interference of the Prussian frigatc in
Spanish affairs. Eight hundred Spanish
sailors who were sent by the Government
from Alicante to Escambrata to take posses
sion of the iron-clads Vittana and Alamanca,
were refused possession by Capt. Werner on
the ground that there was no authority from
Berlin to deliver them up. The sailors were
obliged to remain in ,osition where they
were menaced and at the mercy of the insur-
gents. Thereupon Werner declared the sail
ors under his protection, as well as the steam
er that brought them. The insurgents de-
clared that the steamer must leave Escambrata,
or they would open fire upon her without re-
gard to the Prussians. Thus, by small degrees,
Werner's first blunder leads him further in the
quarrel. The Republicans of Spain have
almost entire possession of the Province of
Navarro. The report is current at Paris that
Metz will be restored to France through the
influence Of Russia
Political.
Ben BUTLER has written an elaborate and
aggressive defense of the salary bill. He
insists that the law was unjust, not because
the salaries were raised. but because they were
not raised high enough, and that President
Grant ought to receive S275. 900 year to place
him on an equality with Washington. :. The
