Cotton Mills Burned.


LONDON, January s.-The Belgrave
Cotton Mills, near Oldham, Lancashire,
containing fifty thousand spindles, has
been burned. Loss computed ut a quar-
ter Of a million OF dollars.
Late adyices from Khodjent say 1t Is
estimated tha. $4,000 insurgent Turco-
mans are assembled in the neighborhood
OF Audijon, which is expected TO be the
chief theatre OF the war. Audijon has
been fortified and is capable Of offering u
strenuous resistance.
LONDON, January 10.-A special from
Vienna contains the following: "A report
is current in Bosnia and Dalmatia that
forty thousand Austrian troops will very
shortly occupy Bosnia. In Vienna oth-
cial circles assurances are constantly
given that no occupation Of the Turkish
provinces is intended, even If the Porte
rejects Count Andrassy's proposals. II
the insurgents refuse to lay down their
arms when the Great Powers require
them to, Austria will simply discontinue
the subsidy which she now gives 10 the
refugees from the revolted districts.
The Vienna correspondent OF the Times
announces that France has unreservedly
accepted the Austrian note. Another
Vienna dispatch reports that the Turkish
government has ordered the Circassians
settled in Bulgaria, to be organized into
twelve battallions, which are destined TO
guard the frontier OF Servia.
A Berlin dispatch says that Captain
Brickenstein will not demand German
inquiry into the loss Of the steamer
Deutschland. The German Government
has invited other marine States to an in
ternational conference, TO devise common
mode Of inquiry into Ghipwrecks and
other disasters to shipping.
A Berlin telegram gives the assurance
that the principal facts elected in tho in
'quiry relative to Thomas will be officially
published.
The Times, in a leading article, says
the notice in the Gazette OF January Sth,
warning mariners not to approach the
Spanish coast east OF Bilboa on account
OF danger from. the Carlist batteries
planted there, will suggest the thought
that our G Government is treating serious
matter too lightly. Being at peace with
Spain, we have right TO trade with
any part Of her territory. The Govern
ment OF Spain is bound to protect the
property Of our countrymen when with
In three miles Of her coast. Were
any OF our seamen mur.e or
our ships burned in one Of her harbors.
We should insist that the criminals be
punished and compensation made. The
Spanish government might plead it Is too
weak to control its unruly subjects and
too poor to pay. II such an excuse were
false we should invite that government TO
do Justice or prepare for reprisals, which
amounts TO declaration OF war. II thegov.
crnment were really powerless we should
have the right to take its place and defend
the lives and property OF our subjects.
These facts suffice and show the duties OF
the government in the presen: case. II the
Carlisis injure any British ship we must
look to Madrid for redress. Either
King Alfonso or all must assume the
police Of the Spanish coast. The plain
duty Of Spain is to place a fleet of the
coast such us will silence the Carlist
batteries. II the government will not
protect its own coast it must pay for any
damage the rebels may do. We iail to
see why Spain should be forced from
the duty Of guarding her own
coast. Her navy is 80 powerful
that in a rupture with the United States
she would have great advantage in the
commencement OF the struggle. Some
vessels may be stationed off Cuba. That
is an arrangement with which We can not
concern ourselves. II Spain insists on
having the luxury Of rebellious colonies
at a time when she is wasted by civil war
at home, she must take the consequences.
The article goes on to say that owing to
the leniency which other powers have
always shown toward Spain, her states
men presume on continuance OF their
foolish and treacherous course with i'm
punity. 1t would be better for all par
ties il Spain was held accountable for her
actions. The United States might set
good example by insisting that Cuba be
no longer allowed to become the plague
instead Of the pearl Of the Antilles. The
article concludes by recommending that
Spain be ,old that she will be held respon-
sible for every shilling Of damage done
to foreign powers by the Carlists.
LONDON, January 10, Ga. MA Ber-
lin dispatch says it is reported that the
Turkish Ambassador at Paris endeavored
to influence Due dc Cazcs against the
ratification Of Count Andrassy's note,
and consequently it is inferred that the
Porte was assured that Great Britain
