Madrid states that yesterday the ora
tory OF the Church of Spirito Sancto
was found robbed OF its plate, holy
vase, pictures, ornaments, and the in
terror of its popular shrine. The
whole was the scene of perfect
wreck. The altar and tabernacle had
been profanet and the eucharist cast
on the floor by the thieves, who broke
open all poor boxes fixed in the walls.
The occurrence has caused much sens
sstion, as the criminals forced the
great door and altar railings in order
to commit the robbery. II took place
four hours before the animated debate
in the cortes on more acts OF brigand-
age that have taken place in the south
ern provinces, where villages and
churches were attacked.

RUSSIA VS.. GERMANY.

LONDON, Feb 2S.-A Vienna cor

recent editorial articles of the North

many relations are construed there as
continuation of Prince Bsmark's
struggle against Prince Gortchakoff
and Gen. Milutine, Russian minister OF
war; that the manner In which the
Russian press has sought to make use
of the recent demonstrations of Ger
man sympathy for the Czar to prove
that the old relations between the two
states still exist, called forth the arti-
cles Of the North German Gazette as a
protest against the theory that the per-
sonsl relations of the two dynasties
control the relations OF the govern
ments.'
