The Irish Troubles.

Gray and others were present. Resolutions
were adopted condemning the action Of the
government, but urging the people to quiet
ness. The meeting was large and no trouble
reported.
| Later advices from Balla indicate extra
precautions taken by the government. More
! than one hundred policemen were stationed
near the place of the meeting, and some cav
airy al in the vicinity, ready for immediate
action. Parnell spoke. In addition to the
resolutions mentioned one was passed ex-
pressing great satisfaction that the intended
evicitons had been abandoned, and other urg-

are engaged to defend the Sligo prisoners.

evidence of the government short hand re-
porter, on which the whole case depends,
will break down. Telegraphic communica-

Slavery and Free Trade.
MADRID, November 22. A rupture is en-
inent between premier Campos and MAORI
ty of the conservatives in Cortes, who have
Joined the planter deputies in the attempt to
retard the abolition of slavery and obstruct
| the free trade policy of the cabinet. Campos
shows considerable energy in the attempt to
secure the success of his measures. His
friends say he will dissolve COrtes, if neces-
sary, to carry the reform measures, or will
| surrender power to the liberals and Sagastis,
who are equally pledged to abolition.
Directly after the festivities upon the occa-
sion of the Kings marriage, the question of
confidence will be put to Cortes, and aboli-
ton and free trade bills will again be
presented by the minister of colonies.

list only in districts of Cinco, Villas, Los
Tunas and Baracoa.

War Preparations in Russia.
vienna, November 90. 1t is well known
that for some time previous to Bismarck's
visit to Vienna, Russia was making vast war
preparations and massing forces in Russia,
Poland and alorg the railway lines. After
the Vienna conference it was found desirable
to effect rapprochement, if possible, with
Germany and Austria, but nothing to prove
that Russia is guided in the matter by any
considerations than those of momentary ex-
pediency. A complete change in the present
regime will alone convince the world that
Russia is peacefully inclined. The appoint
ment of Prince Walonjieff as Gortschakoff's
would be sufficient guarantee that such a
change is contemplated.
