Gen. Martinez Campos, minister of war, that a
new band of insurgents have made their ap

kilograms from the colony report that public
opinion is decidedly in favor of the ministerial
plan for the abolition of slavery, which the
colonists hope will arrest the progress of the
disaffcction The news from the colony has
caused much excitement in political circles.
The cabinet has resolved to suspend the sit
ting of the cortes next week until after the
wedding of the king, when the senate will dis
cuss the scheme for the abolition of slavery in
Cuba, and the chamber of deputies will con-
slider the question of tariff reforms. These
bills will be discussed sim ultaneously, as there
is great probability that ma jority of the con-
seryative will support the policy of the pre-
mier, Martinez Campus. In the face of the
critical situation in the colony, Cano-
vas del Castillo promises his support.
Several of the opposition and liberal
speakers in the cortes have interpellated the
cabinet on the news of the rising in Cuba, and
asked for details, saying they anxiously
desired by the public, private kilograms al

chiefs in the late rising were at the head of

Maester were ut the head of the insurgents.
The Spanish forces, he saya, were in active pur-
suit of the rebels Premier Martinez Campos
promises to communicate more details directly
they arrive. He said Captain general Blanco
was with the army operating
in the Santiago district; that the Cabinet
had nothing to fear from the instruction,
as it had already presented bills for the aboi-
ton of slavery in Cuba, and for the reform of
the tariff which were promised after pacltca-
ton at IaDjon, and the cabinet would, with
the assent of the cortes, pursue the policy
which had already been favorably received by
the most influential classes in Cuba. A full
house listened to this declaration with keen in
terest.
DIPHrHERIA IN RUSSIA.
Dipht IBERIA, which for several years has made
great ravages in Russia, seems to be gaining
more and more ground. The Novoc Trcn.,a
says no disease has attained such frighttul
proportions in the same region. The percentage
of mortality far exceeds that of the births In
the small district of Mirgarod, in which the
epidemic has been raging since 1875, there
were IA died by the disease. In 1876 and 1877
there died over ,3OO persons. In Odessa since
May last diphtheria has snatched away 76 pei
cent. of the children, and in Sevastapol in the
course of four months one-half of the infant
population fell victims to the disease. In
Kiheneff and in the vicinity of Kietf and Pal.
taha the epidemic has been increasing for the
ton. In the village of Kaplcs-
nofka in the government of Kharkoff, fifty
children died in two weeks. In the hamlet OF
Nakamobka, more than 200 infants have been
carried away by disease since January last, in
addition to large number of adults of the
village of Tamarsfka not single child has
escaped the epidemic. The Mariopal districts
showed an average daily death roll of ten. The
-Nouoc Trenya adds a long list Of places where
dishtheria is rag ing in the same frightful de.
gree, and even worse. More than eleven vast
districts are afflicted with the disease. The
mortality, both Of the youthful aud adult
population, is 80 enormous that a comm ission,
under NJ. Karel, physician in ordinary to the
emperor is to enquire into the causes of the
epidemic, and has issued strict injunctions
to local authorities about measures to be
adopted for the arrest and extinction of the
disease.
ENGLAND AND TURKEY.

cept Of fresh instructions, Sir Austin Layard
British ambassador, will abstain from visiting

The present ettitude of the British govern.
