THE CARLIST WAR.
ReSulls OF the Bat lie Of Hermann.
HEAVY FIGHTING ALL ALONG the
LINE.

LONDON, January %. The Times correspon-
dent, writing from San Sebastian, summarizes the
results Of the fighting on Tuesday, as follows -
On the right and centre beyond Hermann, the AL
consists were successful On the left if they really
seriously intended to penetrate to Vera, they were
completely batlied. Gen, Moriones returned to
San Sebastian, escorted by two battalions of
troops and camped on the captured positions
The writer gives the following description of the
fighting Up to o'clock in the afternoon, the
Alfonsis's seemed successful At the foot Of
conical hill, the slope of the Great Three
Crowned mountain, where Carlist battalion was
entrenched, the two parties exchanged fire for
an hour.
The Alfonists attempted to advance with the
bayonet, but they recoiled before the steady fire
from the trenches there. could see the Carliss
leaving their positions and charging down the
hill after their retreating foes. An intervening
slope hid the combatants from sight, but from the
nearer approach of the sound of musketry and
the incessant fire of artillery from the Alfonsist
fort, judged that the Csrli>ts were following up
their success.
The writer concludes 1t is generally belle ved
here that an simultaneous movement Is beng made
in the province of Navarro and Biscay. II so q
very few days will prove whether the Carlists are
ended the campaign Is to be dragged through
the coming summer.

POLITICAL.

Washington, January %. The Senate commit
tee Oh Elections this morning, after prolonged
discussion decided to report back to the Senate
the papers purporting to be credentials of the
election of J. B. Eustis Senator from Louisi-
ana with recommendation that they lie on the
table without further action, because the commit
tee find that at the time of his alleged election
there was no vacancy. This report was deter
mined on by the votes of Morton, Logan Mitchell
and Mcmillan, against Salisbury, Merriman and
Cooper. Wadleigh Of n. H., and Cameron OF
Wis, were absent. The inference intended to be
drawn is that the Kellogg government was de
lure government and that Pinchbsck was legally
elected. The Senate committee on appropriations
deemed it unnecessary to recity the clerical error
in the preamble OF the centennial appropriation
BILL as it does not affect the body of the bill and
might delay the passage of the measure by return
ing it to the House for concurrence; they there
fore reported the bill precisely it from the
House.
