(By Telegraph to the SENTINEL
LONDON, August 14.-In the House OF
Commons last night O'Connor Power
called attention to the medical reports in
regard to the condition of the fever
stricken districts in Mayo and other parts
Of the west of Ireland, and moved a resolu-
ton that 1t was essential that effective san
itary arrangements be Immediately made.
Thomas Sexton, the liberal Home Rule
member for Sligo, seconded the resolution.
Forster, Chief Secretary for ireland, said
the distress had been much exaggerated,
that the government had sent an efficient
medical staff. He would be willing to
nave a resolution placed on record to the
effect that, in the opinion OF the house,
the present condition OF the Agricultural
population Of Mayo, Sligo and other paris
Of the West. demanded the immediate at
tention of the government. Forster in
cidentally spoke Of the contributions made
by Irish-Americans to relieve the distress
in Ireland, and said the English laborers
would probably not have done as much for
their own people under similar circum-
stances. Power accepted Forster's resolu-
ton, which was then agreed to.
VIENNA, August 14.-General Prochaska
and his agent, recently arrested here on
the charge Of felony, have been acquitted.
They were charged with obtaining 100, 600
francs and the promise of $4,000 more
from the Paris spectators, by means of o
forged concession for casino gaming tables
from the Republic of San Marino. Gen.
Prochaska obtained the concession from
the Chief of Police Of San Marine, which
was absolutely worthless, but in October
he submitted to four Partisan inanciers a
concession purporting to be signed by two
Secretaries OF State, for which the inan-
ciers gave him the sum of 100000 francs,
on account of which sun he gave the Chief
OF Police $4,000 francs and 20, 1000 to his
agent, and tried to get the bill for $4,000
discounted; but before the money was
paid the concession was discovered to be a
forgery by the Chief OF Police, and Gen.
Prochaska was charged with being Access
sorry thereto. On being INTERCEPTED, he
maintained that the Chief of Police, who
had absconded to escape prosecution, had
imposed upon him. He acknowledged his
financial troubles, and that the erection of
gaming tables was not an act Of high NOR
atty on the part of q retired soldier and
bearer of several decorations, who had
served c~reditably in the campaign from
1S49 to 1866, but he represented himself as
the dupe of the Chief Of Police.
LONDON, August 14.-Tbe following is
a verbal copy Of a dispatch received by The
Daily News from its correspondent at st.
Petersburg last night I have grave reason
to believe that Ayoob Khan has been acting
in concert with, and been assisted by Abb
~durrabman, and that the worst suspicious
are not without some foundations. / would
assuredly not send such disconcerting in
telligence except on the most serious
grounds.
The trial by court-martial of Sergeant
Marshman, for false marking at Wimble-
don, began at Gospert yesterday. The
charges include o~ffenses committed in 1878,
and 1879. On the opening of the court,
to-day. the prosecutor stated that one Of
his principal witnesses had been knocked
down and kicked by a person who had
profited by Marshman's practices.
PARIS. August 14.-Experiments with
the submarine cable from Brest to Pen
seance were made yesterday in the presence

Edison's system failed.
