IN unknown island in the lower Pacific,
and found upon it several persons, who
said they We're the Florinda party, who
had been wrecked on the island, and
had been there ever since-more than
twenty-five years ago. The names given
were those Of the Florinda's crew, and in
other ways the identity of the party is
said to have been established. 1t is fur

of was declined. on the ground that as
they had been lost so long, they pre-

was In readiness for the nuptials, but no
bridegroom came. He wns waited pa

OUR POLICY TOWARDS SPAIN.

The following synopsis OF the sltUa-
ton of the Spanish question, derived
from semi-oificial sources at Washing
ton, is supposed to indicate the policy
of our government toward the new gov
eminent III Spain: 1t is not practicable
to accord to the Cuban Republicans
recognition as belligerants, as they
possess neither ships nor seaports. 1t
is, however, possible to demand that
Spain shall treat prisoners of war with
more humanity. 1t is probable the
United States will insist upon, and the
President may request other powers TO
join the United Stetes in formal de
mand for rigid observance of the
usages of civilized nations i'll this re
gard. The United States can also in
sist on strict compliance with the de
mands in the Virginius case, and the
United States can insist that Spain
shall fulfill her repeated solemn pledge
to provide for the abolition Of slavery
III Cuba. 1t is believed that the prob
able future policy Of the United States
toward Spain is foreshadOwed in these
points.

illegal body was sitting as the House Of
Representatives and that Mr.. Vegors,
clerk, could furnish him with list of
those members who had been duly
elected and as such returned by the
returning board The other letter con
tanned a request to General Detrobriand
to eject those members who had not
been returned as elected by the board.
A lengthy conversation followed be
latter protesting against the interference
of the military The members re-
ferred to in Kellogg's letter were then
elected from the hall by the soldiers
The democratic republicans, headed by
Speaker Witt, then marched out ofthe
hall, and the state house, both of which
were closed as soon as the last demo-
cratic republican went out. They went
to the number Of seventy up St,
Louis street, followed by large crowd,
who cheered them on their way.
After the Conservatives withdrew, the
clerk proceeded to call the roll, when
tifty-three members answered to thei,
names: ffty-fou We're necessary for a
quorum. The clerk declared there were
tifty-four present. Ex-Gov Michael
