Partially Successful, DC.
MADRID, March ga desperate en-
gagement was fought yesterday before
Bilboa. The Republican army under Ser
rano attached the Carlsts at six o'clock in
the morning, and met with a stubborn
resistance. The battle was kept I'D
all day, and was only stopped by the ap
proach of night, when the Republican
troops encamped in the positions that they
had captured from the Royalists. The loss
OF the national troops was 470men. Gene
raj Lomo commanded the centre, and
General Primo De Rivera the right. 1t is
probable the battle will be renewed to-day.

counts--John E. Bossieux, John e. Bos-
sioux, president and John e. Bossieux,
trustee $4,000 or $4,000 of this item oil
200 was in consideration of the
surrender to the bank of piece of
real estate on the Westham road did
not give absolute conveyance of this
real estate to the bank, but was ready to
do so at any time; the property on the
Westham road has not been formally con-
yeyed to me, but it can be done at any
time; know that the transfer to the bank
of this property without clear deed of
conveyance was no conveyance at all, but
was ready to make the conveyance in legal
form; did not place the credit-of 81, 200
to my account, bat directed the clerk to do
so.
The counsel for the respondents here
stated to the court that while they were
not counsel for Mr.. Bossieux, they should
ask that the line of examination pursued
by the counsel for the petitioners be sus-
pended, unless the counsel on the other
side would show that the evidence being
brought out was to have an ultimate
bearing on the case at bar. Judge
Morton then stated to the court that he
might as well state now as at future
stage of the proceedings that he desired to
elicit evidence that would show that the
intent of the parties controlling the bank
was to pay certain preferred creditors
In full, and to defraud others of the
amounts due them. and upon this testi.
mony he would move, upon the rendering
the verdict in this case, an order of the
courtto seize the effects of the bank, to be
held until the further order of the court.
After considerable discus sion by
the counsel, the Judge directed the
examination 10 proceed.
Mr.. Bossieux, resuming-Of the last
item in my account, 5000, cannot now
recollect anything.
The counsel having no further questions
to ask the witness, he was directed to stand
aside, previous to doing which, he stated
to the jury that his inability to explain
his account was owing to the nu-
inerous items it contained, and the absence
of the auxiliary books.
The counsel on both sides at this point
requested his honor to allow them half an
hour for consultation, and stated that they
expected at the expiration of that time to
be able to effect an arrangement by which
the case could be ended without further
litigation. The time was granted, and at
fifteen minutes past two the court adjourn
ed for one hour.
We understand that the respondents will
consent to an adjudication Of bankruptcy,
and request the appointment of receiver
until the selection of an assignee takes
place.
