EVANSVILLE, July 23.-Advices from
Princeton, about twenty miles north of
this city, report the cholera in that neigbor-
hood. Three orfour miles east of Prince
ton on Indian creek ten persons have died
since last Friday, and new cases are report
ed daily.
Reports are current that the disease had
broken out in Carmi and Mt. Carmel, but
the stories are believed to be unfounded.
Advices from Mount Vernon state that
there are only about one hundred and fifty
persons left in that place, and the sur
rounding towns are filled with citizens
from Mount Vernon, who have fled their
own city. The board of health have
requested all persons not to visit the place
for the present.
CHIcAGo, July 23.--The board Of
health of this city reports 423 deaths, in

Spanish squadron in that port, which was
made the subject of a government decree
and vote in the Cortes yesterday.
The insurgents, after gaining control of
the city, seized the CASTILLO de Las Gateras,
q strong fort on west side OF the harbor,
the entrance of which it commands COM
pletely. This gave them control of two
lower batteries 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-men in
sympathy with the insurgents-and the
vessels fell into their hands without opposi-
ton.
The chief command of the squadron is
now entrusted to Pasas, who led the in
surrection in the naval arsenal at Terrol,
in the province Of Corunna. some months
ago.
The vessels thus taken by the insurgents
are: The Vittoria, iron-clad of "a guns;
Numancia, iron-clad of 25 guns Petuan,
iron-clad of 40 guns; Almauza, screw
frigate of As guns, and the steamer Fer
nando El Catolco, Ferralana and Blasco
Garay, not classified. The four vessels

outbreak there, has mutinied and Joined the

Railroad Train Thrown From the
Track and Robbed.

A dispatch from Desmoines, Iowa,
dated July %, says an extraordinary and
daring robbery on a railroad train was
committed last night four miles west of
Adair, on the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific railroad. At this point there is a
sharp curve in the road and here the rob
bers placed heavy timbers across the track
to throw the eastern bound passenger
train off. The engineer, John Rafferty,,
saw the obstructions in time to reverse the
engine and apply the air break, but the rob
bers observing the movement fired at him
from an ambush and shot him dead. The
engine struck the logs and went off the
track into ditch, and was followed by one
of the baggage cars-the others remaining
on the track. Several passengers were
bruised, but none seriously hurt. The
robbers, who were masked, after opening
and emptying the safe Of the express mes
senger Of its contents, rode off ON horse
back Among the passengers were thirty
Chinese students en- route for Springfield,
Mass.
A dispatch from Chicago says the train
left Council Bluffs at five O'Clock with six
coaches, two filled with Chinese students,
and two baggage and express cars, in
which was the through California mails
| and express matter. The express safe con-
| tanned So 900, and there was three tons OF
bullion. The robbery was perpetrated
| eighty-five miles west Of Desmoines. The
train was going at the rate Of twenty-five
miles per hour. No houses were in sight.
| Meeting the distinctions the train jumped
the track. The engineer died from con-
cussion or bullets the fireman escaped.
The baggage cars doubled on each other.
Then the robbers commenced their ne
farious proceedings, which consumed ten
minutes time. After they left the tele-
graph was used to send the news in all
directions. Engines and q posse were sent
out from Council Bluffs on the Burlington
and other roads to intercept the robbers,
who appeared to be regular bush-whack
ers. They made preparations for throwing
the cars off before the cars came along
| None of the passengers were injured
| Three wrecked cars arrived here at 7:3(
this morning with the dead body Of thu
engineer, who leaves a wife and severa
children.

The New Five Per Cent. Bonds.
WASHINGTON, July 23.--There yet re-
mains two hundred millions of the new
five per cent. bonds to be placed. The
syndicate have the exclusive right until
December l., next, in which to place these
bonds. A prominent member of the SYM
dicate yesterday expressed the belief that
they would be able to place the whole
amount by the middle Of November, and
perhaps sooner. Should they succeed,
and of this there is no reasonable doubt,
the whole five hundred million five per
cent. bonds authorized by Congress will
have been disposed of and like amount
of bonds bearing six per cent. interest
cancelled, thus securing a saving in interest
of five million dollars ler annum.

WASHINGTON, July 23.--Tbe head

will be temporarily removed from New

Since the publication of the fact that the
heads of departments were looking into the
matter of whole families holding office
under the government, the secretary of the
treasury has received number of letters
containing information showing conclu-
sively that the evil is much greater in his
department than he had supposed. He is
determined to have but one member of a
family in his department at time, and
will leave it with the parties themselves to
elect which one shall remain but if there
should be any hardness in the premises he
will find remedy by removing all con-
cerned. ------s

HAVANA, July 22.-The Spanish Con-

so long as single armed rebel remains who
cries Death to the Spaniards,' and until a
sufficient time has elapsed for the complete

are likely to produce disturbance which
would only be favorable to the rebels.o
The petition is signed mostly by wealthy
Spaniards and shareholders and their de-
pendents.

ton or modification of the censorship, and
