The Republican troops

the soldiers. The Republican troops
at Cirauguin surrendered TO the Car
lists on the condition that their lives
should be spared. In spite OF the terms
Of the surrender, the Carlists shot a
number of them after they had delivered
up their arms. Don Alphonso had sent
TO the Spanish government a formal propo-
sition for m arrangement OF a cartel for
exchange of prisoners. The declaration
Of indeuundcnce at Alicante was brought
aboutb3 he arrival in the harbor of the
insurgent iron-clad Vittoria from Cartha-
gena. She soon after sailed, when the
city returned TO its loyalty to the national
government. The Governor of Alicante
had arrived and will be tried by a court
martial for treason. A minority Of the
Cortes had issued amanifest condemning
the policy Of the Government.
The following additional Information
has been received regarding the detection
of the Spanish squadron at Carthagena.
The insurgents, after gaining control of
the city, seized CASTILLO de las G%allenos, a
strong fort on the west side OF the harbor,
and less than a thousand yards from the
entrance, whichit commands completely.
This gave them control of two lower bat
teries on the shore at the mouth of the
harbor. They hoisted the red flag of the
Commune over these Notifications and
summoned the squadron lying in the
harbor TO surrender. The crews were in
sympathy with the insurgents, and the
vessels fell into their hands without oppo-
sition. The vessels thus taken by the In
surgents are the Victoria, iron-clad, "a
guns; Numancia, iron-clad, % guns ;
Tetuan, iron-clsd, 40 guns; Almanac,
screw frigate, As guns, and steamers Fer
nando, FL Colalica, F%ervalona and Blasco
Garay, not classified. The four vessels
first named are among the first in the
Spanish navy.

Of a vigorous speech, denounced dictator
ships as the daughters Of tyranny, and
declared that tyrannical republics were
sure TO beget Caesars.

An ACT OF JUsTICE.-DOubting Cas-

of Bunyan's Christian, though IL couldn't

anything particularly extraordinary.
Consequently. when we heard, some
eighteen months ago, that a physician in
California had compounded, from the
Juices and herbs found there, a medicine
that cured almost every variety of blood
disease, we were incredulous. Since then
we have had opportunities of testing the

Mrs. CaudIe Silenced.

The Brantford (Canada) Courier tells of
n gentleman of that town who recently
tried an experiment which he says has
completely cured his wife of jealousy.
He says he was subject to a nightly cur
tain lecture from his better halt, at a time
when he wished TO be wrapped in the
arms Of Morpheus, for returning an affec-
ton for an old lady friend. He bore ii for
several nights with a Christian-like resig-
nation, but he at last devised a plan for
putting an end to Ii. He procured a
piece Of wood formed i'm the shape of a
human being and dressed it in some of his
wife's wardrobe. and then placed IL in the
garden, sitting in an iron chair. To this
craven image he knelt down and poured
forth impassioned addresses. The serv-
ant girl was standing at the kitchen door
at this time, and overheard these appeals.
She Immediately notified her mistress of
the fact. Presently both Of them emerged
from the kitchen, armed with broomsticks.

in good order, sat at the back enjoying the
scene. After knocking the image over
they bounced upon and tore the clothing
in rags. They o discovered the cheat,
and rushed back into the house terribly
mortified. The husband followed them
and said exasperating things. Whenever
she shows any disposition TO be jealous he
has only to mention that little scene In the
garden, and she changes the topic. The

THE STEAM BOILER EXPERIMENTS AT
SANDY HOOK.
They Will Take Place i'm Five or Six
Weeks.

The experiments In steam boilers and gauges at
Sandy Hook promise to be very interesting. The
arrangements are rapidly going forward. A
HERALD reporter called yesterday on Mr.. Charles
W. Copeland, one OF the members of the Commits
sion. and ascertained that the experiments will
probably take place in i've or six weeks He said
the Commissioners would hold another meeting
next month to discuss the most important details
of the arrangements. The object OF the expert
ments he said, was to test the various theories in
regard to steam boiler explosions II they could
ascertain which theory was the correct one they
would also ascertain the best means Of pre-
venting explosions. The first test would prob
ably be OF the sO-called "low-watern theory.
AS some engineers have claimed that ex-
plosive gases forming within the boilers gen.
orally caused the explosions, while other engineers
have urged that electricity was the real cause
these Two theories Will also be subjected to thor
ough test Mr. Copeland said he could not tell how
many boilers they would explode, but, for reasons
OF economy, they would probably first use small
boiler as a preliminary test and then try to ex-
piode large boiler by electricity explosive cases.
&c. Inc commissioners, engineers and all these
who wish to see the experiments will be at dis
lance OF about one hundred yards. The results Of
the experiments will be reported to the President
who Will report them to Congress. The Commits
sioners hope to solve by means OF these expert
ments the dinicult problem OF preventing steam
boiler explosions, and the experiments Will be
therefore OF the greatest Importance to science
and OF immediate interest TO all who travel on
steamboats,

THE ALABAMA AWARD AND HOW IT rs TO BE PAID.
inquired Of Mr.. Richardson whether there Is
any foundation for the report that the Alabama
award Is to be paid through the Syndicate. at an
expense OF considerable sum to the nation.
1.-THE report La all nonsense was the Secretary's
reply; "there Is no foundation whatever for 1t.
When the award is paidn-and the Secretary's look
implied that he did not expect very speedy set
tlement-"when the award Is paid 1t Will be paid
into the hands Of our government In full in gold.
We have nothing to do with the manner Of the pay
ment; that is q matter for the British government
tolook AFTER When the time does arrive If any
syndicate or any other medium OF payment should
be employed, 1t will be employed by the British
government and any cost in the handling or
transmitting OF the money will be borne by that
government. Our government knows nothing yet
about the payment or when the money will be
forthcoming. but its business will be simply to re-
ceive the amount In FULL"
SHALL WE HAVE SPECIE PAYMENTS
In reply to question as to the prospect of re-
turn to specie payments the Secretary remarked
that the country had prospered and its resources
had been wonderfully developed under our present
system Of currency. ''We have been so long with
out SPECIE" he said, smiling, "that we can scarcely
tell what eect resumption would have; but 1t will
Of course, come In good time, and, as have said,
the financial policy of the government must be
troed, as all business Is controlled, by the course
ofevents and the condition of the country"
In view OF the different rumors that have re-
Gently been put anoat these views OF the Secretary
OF the Treasury, although presenting no new
feature. may be regarded as important
as well as interesting. 1t is evident
that the Secretary contemplates some changes In
the financial policy OF the government to meet the
progress Of events since the commencement OF
General Grants first term OF ONCE i gather from
his tone, as much as from his words, that he re-
CARDS the financial problem as one OF the gravest
Importance and as one upon which the next
Presidential contest is very likely to turn. 1t is
certain that the conservative apprehension of
violent and sudden change, the desire to let well
enough alone and the disincnation to indulge in
experiment, carried General Grant into power on
his second canvass. viii his friends build up his
chances for third term upon the same strong
foundation?
