London, Aug. 20.-In the commons
to-day Parnell, in calling attention to
the rearrest of Michael Davitt and
moving for his release from imprison-
ment, said it was currently believed
that Davitt was arrested because he
called Forster ''Mr. Outrage Forster
in his speech. Parnell said it was the
meanest and most contemplate act
ever committed BY any government.
Harcourt, home secretary. justified
the Iarrest of Davitt. Davitt had re-
turned to Ireland an avowed fenian, and
used language which no government in
the world could tolerate. The home
secretary incidentally stated that he
had often vainly tried to obtain disa.
vowal Of fenianism from the Irish mem
bers of the house who supported the
land league. He intimated that they
could not disavow the views of those
who are supplying their friends from
America.
Parnell's motion for the release of
Davitt was defeated, 62 to &C. The
house then resumed consideration of
business in committee Of supply.
Being unable to conclude the business
Of supply to-day. parliament cannot be
prorogued until the 9th inst.

THE HOsTILEs.
The Force Teo small to Cope with
Them.

Denver, Aug. 20.-On the 18th inst.
Lieut.. Taylor had a fight in the San
Mateo mountains, capturing camp of
Indians and twenty horses. The In
dians are in several parties moving
southwest. Every available man under
the command of Gen. Hatch is either
in the field or guarding the settlements.
The number Of his troops is too small
however, and the people are arming for
self-protection.
There is a delegation of citizens of
Sonora now here, asking the governor
to call out the militia for protection of
the settlements and mining camps.
: Three volunteer companies are arm
ing at Albuquerque for service should
the Nayajos become restless. So far
the troops had six fights with the hos
tiles. During the raid some thirty per-
sons were killed, and the soldiers have
lost about twenty in killed and
wounded.
Advices from Cuchills Negro, under
date of August 18th, states that the
Nayajoes are not on the war path, that
some Indians and Mexicans had row
in which two Indians and one Mexican
were killed, but all is apparently quiet
to-day.

FOREIGN BhIRFS.

Constantinople: kilograms received
here from the consuls at Janina, state
that the British member of the Dalma-

gands near the frontier of Epirus, and
after Q sharp encounter in which the
commander Of the Turkish escort was
killed, the brigands were driven off.
London: A Paris correspondent says:
No large movements in gold are re-
ported, some small sums being sent to
Austria for the purchase Of grain. The
Bank of France is again restricting its
issue of Napoleons, which command
one per cent. premium. The French
houses are said to be buying gold in
London and Amsterdam for shipment
to the United States, but 1t is not sent
direct hence. 'ea'

Washington, Aug. 20.-With view
of affording relief to persons who re-

through the mails, the following gen.
eral instructions to postmasters will
soon be issued from the postoffice de-
partment: "When anyone is annoyed
or expects to be annoyed by postal cards
sent from any particular place, or from
any known persons, he may direct the
postmaster at the point named, to de-
stroy all postal cards addressed to him,
or cards from any person named 80 ad-
dressed, and as FAR as the discharge of
the duties of Office will permit, a suffi-

should comply with the request. The
same request may be made of receiving
postmasters. Directions to postmas-
ters should be in writing, and should be
filed for preservation.

New York. Aug. 20.-The Telegram's
Ithica. N. Y. special says: The Journal
to-day says: upon the receipt of
the news in Ithica that Shinkel
had tainted in the boat in the Vienna
race, there were those familiar with
the crew, its personnel and morale, who
shook their heads significantly and
looked askance. A relative of one of
the crew, and very conservative man,
II week since stated to a reporter that
without any particular evidence or
warrant for the charge, he felt positive
that if the facts could be known they
would prove that Shenkel was bogus
and that he had betrayed his asso-
ciates.''

on July Goth, emissaries of the govern
mert discovered the hiding place of
Gen. Roman Perez and julius Fras and
three wounded officers belonging to the
party of Gen. Alvarez. On the after
noon of the same day, all were shot in
The cemetery Of San Domingo City,
notwithstanding the intercession of the
diplomatic corps and ecclesiastical
body. An immense crowd witnessed
the execution from the fortress walls.
On the I'd inst, the diplomatic corps
again asked in vain for the pardon Of
nine more adherents Of Alvarez's who
had been condemned to be shot, and
eight of the number were shot ON that

Chicago, Aug. 20.-The Inter- Ocean's
Washington special says the accidental
discovery of distractions in the track
of the ball, SO near the mouth Of the
wound, is regarded by unofficialy ply
sicians as evidence of great neglect.
Official surgeons have frequently an
nounced that the wound was healing
nicely to within three or four inches of
the mouth Of the wound. It now ap-
pears that eight inches beyond has
been suppurating all Of this time. and
the light flow of pus was due to the OBJ.
struction just discovered, and to the
fact that considerable amount ,was
absorbed. This accounts for the in
fiammation Of the neck, and satisfies
the ablest unofficial experts that the
president is and has been slifferiue
from blood poisoning. For weeks that
eight inches of suppurating surface has
not been cleansed at. all, and the result
will probably be serious complications
yet to arise. The official surgeons,
however. profess to think the president
is doing vel, and take more of a conserv-
ative view than many. Of their profes-
sional brethren.

Selected Bulletins Up to the Hour Of

8nnoG8HG A&I@a6 4-I8&SAta
Washington, Aug. 20-Saturday. in
every stage of the presidents illness,
seems to have always been day of
anxiety and sometimes critical day.
To-day, however, seems to have been
an exception to the rule. The morning
bulletin was most gratifying one, and
seemed to greatly restore confidence.
The presidents pulse has gone down
two beats since yesterday morning, but
in other respects the figures were the
same as yesterday-the morning bull
letin though assuring far as much, as
1t indicated no unfavorable symptoms,
and reports unofflcially received from
the sick room, were that the president
was doing well. His stomach Is re-
gaining its tone, and he continues to
take and retain nourishing TODD. The
swelling of the parotid gland had also
subsidized and less painful. and in the
opinion of the doctors it would not
form an abcess, but would scatter; it
was not believed it would appear else
where. The president has had good
day and is resting well tonight, and
has taken more nourishment to-day
than yesterday; now most of the nour-
ishment is given by the mouth, and the
enemata are being reduced. The presi-
dent is doing finely, and strong hopes
OF his recovery may now be enter
tained.
The president swallowed about three
teaspoonfulls of beefsteak juice to-day
and has taken more milk cruel this
afternoon. Tho swelling of the parotid
gland is only half the size and is slowly
diminishing.

Washington. Aug. 20. The follow.
ing is the reply Of the secretary of wal
and postmaster general to the telegram
of DIR. Hammond, sent shortly after
the president was shot, asking if he
could be of any service:

cal experience in dealing with malaria,
told Times reporter yesterday that the
president was suffering from mumps,
superinduced by the malarial atmos-
phere Of Washington; that the infia-
nation of the parotid gland which the
bulletins speak of is another name for
