England is the haven of exiled roy
atty. Don Carlos it is reported, intends
going there.
The Turks were totally defeated in a
great battle fought recently near Vassogo
vich, in Herzegovina.
Don Carlos has almost reached the
end of his rope. He and his men are re
ported as trying to gain the French frontier
while large bodies of AIfonsists are in close
pursuit
Don Carlos has flooded Paris with cir
culars stating that he has not relinquished
his claim to the throne of Spain-not van
quished, but awaiting his time to renew the
contest.
The jury at the inquest over the bodies
of the victims of the late Strath- Clyde disas.
ter, have returned verdict of manslaughter
against the captain of the steamer Franconia,
which ran down the Strath-Clyde.
A Berlin letter says that the colossal
statue of Bismarck will be sent to the cen
tenniaI exhibition at Philadelphia. A copy
is to be erected at Kissengen, on tke spot
where Kullman attempted the chancellor's
life.
The English courts have decided that
a wife divorced from her husband for cruelty
cannot sue him for damages. The judges
held that the right to bring a civil action
against each other, which was destroyed by
marriage, was not revived by divorce.
Statisticians say that 100000 men
will soon be in arms on the continent of Eu-
rope Russis viii have 100000, France and
Germany each 100000 and Austria and
Italy 1000 900 each. The Saturday Review
thinks that the statisticians are far wrong in
this estimate, and that so large a total is
purely imaginary.
1t is stated on good authority that
Col. G. Ryan, explorer, is returning to Cairo,
Egypt. Various reasons are assigned for this
step. among which are the following: Har-
RAISING struggles with rebellious tribes have
thinned his forces. The Egyptian troops do
not arrive at all. Blacks are always readily
recruited, and also want of harmony between
Col. Gordon and the Egyptian administration
for permanent control of equatorial Egypt.
1t is probable that Egypt will temporarily
abandon the development of her equatorial
possession.
1t is officially announced that eight
! Carlist battalions have refused to fire upon
the royalists. After a conflict between the
! officers and men, the force was disbanded
and surrendered in parties at Toloso last
week The Carlists are soliciting amnesty
/ by the thousands. A dispatch from the roy
/ alist Gen. Martinez Campos announces that
nine battalions have surrendered at Pampe-
/ luna. 1t is generally believed that COM
pIete break up of the remaining Carlist forces
/ is imminent and the war is regarded as vir-
/ tuaIly ended.
The RothschiIds made a very good
| thing out of the British purchase of the khe-
| dives shares in the Suez canal. They ad-
vanced the S2O,OOOOOO to pay for the shares;
/ for this they are to receive two and half
per cent commission, $500, 600, and they are
to have FIVE per cent. interest on the S2O,OOO,-
| 600 advanced by them until the government
repavs it. The Rothschilds paid S4OO0,OOC
TO the order of the khedive on December l.
and the other Sl6OO0,OOO has been paid dur
ing December and January. 1t viii probably
be the end of this month before they are re.
paid and, if so, their profits on this little
transaction, in which they ran no risk, and
out OF which they may make and probably
have made large incidental gains, will be
about $4,000; that is, 100000 for commits
sion and S25O,OOO for three months interest
