MADRID, Feb, 1.-THE Carlist chieftain
| Ollo, with 1918 men, yesterday attacked Taffala
in Navane. The garrison made gallant re.
sistance and the insurgents were compelled 10
retreat. The popular forces of Madrid, yielding
| to the command of the authorities, have ADAM
doned the positions they occupied when the
| King abdicated.
Cos:elar's Circular.
| PARIS, Feb 17.-Senor Olazaza, Spanish am
! bassador, called upon the Marquis De Remusat
| this morning and read to him Costelar's circu-
lar announcing the establishment of republic.
The minister says:
Neither internal nor foreign pressure moved
the Assembly to declare republic. The peo-
pie are tranquil, the army obedient, the author
tiles calm. The government is resolved to pre-
serve order at any price 1t relies on the respect
for law inherent in Spaniards and the fidelity
OF the army. Spain possesses all the virtues
necessary for a self government. To dispel false
Impressions and remove apprehensions the
government declares that it is resolved to main
tain the organization of the army, which is re-
solved to maintain its authority.
A Revolutionary Document eceptiou of
the News from Spain.
HAVANA, Feb. II Senior Olivarez, the Po-
litical Secretary, sailed to-day for Spain to con-
fer viii h the new government. Thousands of
circulars were distributed yesterday, containing
picture representing the volunteers shooting
man in the back. They were addressed by the
ny @iiSto w oHC loUUcIS VI VIC puUllC lIcJSuTy.
The circular demands the punishment as trail
tors of the employees and merchants engaged in
smuggling, and calls upon the people to guard
against the intrigues of a few smugglers, who
are attempting to induce the Intendente to re-
lax vigilance. The document further says the
financial situation is bad, and it is necessary
that much of the paper now in circulation
should be withdrawn, substituting gold there
for. The remedy, it concludes,is to shoot those
guilty of frauds upon the treasury, irrespective
of the color OF condition of the persons offend
ing, and invokes Gen. Ceballos to apply the
remedy if he intends to deserve well Of the
country.
Gen. Cebalos has issued his express procla-
nation enjoining obedience to the government
proclaimed by the Cortes. The proclamation
concludes with the publication of the names of
the new government and a telegram from the
minister for the colonies.
Havana continues tranquil. The Diario has
only few words to say upon the events now
happening in Spain, the Voz de Cuba still less
and the Constancia nothing whatever. The idea
of a republic does not please majority of the
slave owners. They do not make any demon
stration, but are evidently disappointed Bust
ness is entirely suspended and merchants are
refusing to sell exchange.

the votes of all but one of them. The money
however was never paid, but the fact that
Caldwell refused to pay it does not relieve the
character OF the transaction, and very probably
resulted in the exposure Il Caldwell and the in
stitution of an examination
Clark and Carney each testify that Caldwell
told him hisIhis election cost him $50, 900. and
several other witnesses state the same thing
while one witness says Caldwell told him the
money paid Carney was not more than ten DER
cent. of the whole cost of his election. The
committee had much difficulty in tracing the
money transactions, but the evidence shows
that various sums, amounting to over $50 900
were drawn under circumstances that make it
probable that they were used to secure Cald-
wells election.
The committee have no reason to believe that
they have traced all the money used and have
taken no account of small sums shown to have
been paid by Caldwell for the expenses of his
friends at Topeka. The committee says that
VIM, Sprigg, the former Treasurer of Kansas,
testified to the proceedings of a self constituted
committee of six of Caldwelps friends, with the
statement of members there of what votes had
been secured how much was offered for others
and how much was asked for others A roll
was kept of the Senate and House, notes COM
pared and members of the committee were sent
to the members of the House during its ses-
sion. A remark was made that we had better
not count that man yet" that "he is under ne
gotiation and is little too high; think can
bring him down some"
The same witness said that Caldwell asked
him if he knew of any member of the Legisla..
ture who could be Influenced by the use ~
money. The witness answered that he knew
two who had the reputation of having been in
fluenced on former occasions, aud Caldwell
further said that if l found any members
who wanted little money for votes to send
them to him Or Lem Smith. Mr.. Caldwell al
SO told him that there was another class OF
high toned gentlemen in the Legislature, who
would not sell their votes, but wanted their
election expenses paid, and if he met any OF
them to send them to himself or Smith.
The committee says that the confession OF
Sprigg shows that the canvass of Caldwell was
thoroughly corrupt and that money was the
chief argument relied on
Mr. Carney testified that Caldwell told him
he paid Mr.. Boaers $1,000 and James f. Leg
ate $1,000 for their votes and there is much tes-
timony showing that Caldwells friends during
the canvass admitted having offered and paid
money for votes, in some cases specifying
names That offers had been made and not ac-
cepted, and that negotiations were on hand in
other cases. These men have denied before the
