to Plata, protested against President Baez's
action, gathered some followers and threat
ened to attack Porto Plata. Gonzales, the
present Governor of Porto Plata, sent a
few government troops and dispersed Mezps
followers. Mezi and bis two SONS fed,
finally taking refuge in the private
residence OF British Consul Ham
burger. Gonzales sent to Hamburger,
demanding that they be given up to him,
but Hamburger refused, claiming that the
British flag protected fugitives in his pri--
vate residence as if they we're at his Official
consulate office. Gonzales ordered the
refugees to be taken By force, and they
were thus taken from the residence. Ham
burger protested, and is reported to have
sent for an English man-cfwar. The course
Of Gonzales is Endorsed by President Baez,

LONDON, March 21.-In the House OF
| Commons this evening. Claiborne Hardy
moved an address to the Crown, praying
that the Government be instructed to dis
| sent from the three international rules
adopted by the Court of Arbitration at &C.
neya. Hardy, in the course of an able
speech in support Of bis motion, declared
that in making it he had no party object,
nor did be intend to cast the slightest i'm
putation on the fairness of the arbitrators.
The disclaimer was received with cheers.
Mr.. Foster opposed the motion because
it practically called for a vote of censure on
the arbitrators who adopted the rules.
These rules affected the United States as
much as England. No other nation was
interested. If we Object to them, it will
appear as If we were smarting under a
sense of having to pay the compensation
awarded, and the united action of Ameri-
ca and England hereafter in case Of war,
with or between other powers, would be
impossible.
Vernon Harcourt spoke strongly in favor
of the motion. He declared the rules would
never held water. The best thing possible
to do was to request the United States Gov
eminent TO Withdraw them and substitute
others, which in the event of war would
not make neutrality intolerable.
Sir Stafford Northcote was disposed tt
favor it. he asked whether the Govern
ment really accepted the case involved il
these rules. If it did they ought to b,
made the law.
Attorney General Sir j. Duke COleridg'
said: We had better hold our tongues anC
pay the money.
Disraeli was glad that the Government
intended to come to some understanding
with that Of the United States in regard tC
these rules. He hoped they would do 81
speedily, anc then the two government
could Jointly lay the rules before ether pow
ers for their consideration.
