MADRID, April 24.-HeraId Special
Madrid is full of the conflict of parties. He
Gently there was definite division of the
political elements, each taking sides for and
against tie permanent commission
by which the body Of the
assembly hoped to control the
ministry. Serrano apparently hoped to
determine the balance against the Ministry
by coup d'etat through military demon
stration and pronunciamento in favor of
the party of order and against the dissolu-
ton of the permanent commission. Bis |
plan failed, because at the critical
moment the soldiers fraternized with the
people and the volunteers proved |
fainthearted. Disorders began wednesday |
night. Con reras, lately Csptain-General |
of Catalonia, was fred at near the Plaza |
Foras by volunteers, who bad taken arms in |
defense of the Permanent Commission and |
held the btiilding. At 9 P. NJ. six batteries
of artillery and mitrailIenses were turned |
on the position held by these Volunteers; |
and they were summoned to surrender, |
which they did, at midnight. The ministry |
in council, recognizing that the permanent J
commission was the source of the reaction /
ary agitation, called upon the commission |
to dissolve willingly or be dissolved forcibly, |
nd Int nd
armed It's defenders. The reds, be- |
coming violent, forced their way into |
the presence of the commission, but the |
members of the ministry personally pro-
tected the commissioners from obnoxious |
individuals. The reds have posted them
selves at every street corner, holding pos
session of the city. 1t is variously reported |
that Serrano has been thrown into prison
and that he has left the city.

Bismarck Running the Churches,
BERLIN, Paris 24--The Upper House of
the Prussian Diet to-day engaged in de-
bate, which lasted six hours, on the bill
regulating the training and appointment Of
clergy. Bismarck made one of bis power
ful speeches in support of the bill. He de-
Tended the attitude the Government had ta-
ken as fully justified by the domineering
assumptions of the priesthood. In the
course of his speech be took occasion to
deny the often repeated report that he in
stigated the occupation of Rome by the
Italian Government. 81

statement of the war in Sumatra from

Holland from the various powers which con-
tanned the most friendly assurances and
showed the intrigues of the Atchinese had
wholly failed.

General has given strict orders 10 treat
O'Kelley with the utmost kindness, and
see that nothing is wanting to insure his
comfort. The British Consul-General has
telegraphed to the British Consul General
at Manzanillo, asking him to do all he can
for O'Kelley, and informing him that the
moment the tribunal decides, Captain
General Pieltain will act.
