tary FOlger is not so we'll to day. For
several weeks he has been i'll one day
and better next, The immediate
ciuse is overwork and insufficient
nourishment. This has impoverished
the blood aud depleted the system TO
such an extent as to render him ex-
tremely susceptible to climatic
changes and liable To easily contract
local diseases. He was at first at
lacked by slight congestion Of the
right lung, which lasted only day or
two; then followed by biIiousness. &C
compauied By daily rigor, succeeded
by slight fever. This lasted for q
week or more. Then he was
we'll enough to attend at the depart
ment tor few days. A change ia the
weather came and he contracted a
sore throat, and that having disap.
peared, his cold has now settled 10
I'D about his eyes. His stomach is
llsordered as well, but at no time has
ne been seriously ill. He has been
well enough to desire to attend to bus
mess, but too ill to bear the whole
burden of his duties. His physicians
have now prescribed absolute rost, and
advised him that it will be unwise for
him to attempt to transact any bust
ness for several weeks. 1t is probable
that within that time he will take a
sea trip to Bermuda or else there.

MADRID, August 6.-The particulars Of
the uprising at Badsjos are as follows: Tie
State garrison disarmed the gendarmerie
and the customs guards and occupied IL 3
railway stations. The disatfscted troops
also closed the gates Of the fortress. 4.
ministerial order has been gazetted pro-
claiming state siege in Estremadura anr!
appointing General Blanco commander OF
the forces Of that province. Eleven hundred
persons participated in the proclamation OF
= republic at B MICS, 400 civilians having
joined the soldiery. 1t Is believed the In
surgents seized several thousand muskel
which had been deposited in the fortress.
The Customs guards refused to join ths
movement. It is stated at Lisbon thas
Ripz Zorilia planned the rising. GeneraL
Blanco is on his way to Balaisfrom Madrid
with strong force.
The insurgents carried OF 800, 900 pasetss
from the treasury. An official dispatch,
published here at Z o'clock this evening,
says the revolt has entirely ended and the
insurgents have either been arrested in
Spain or have fled into Portugal. Troops
sent TO suppress the revolt have been or
dered TO return 10 Madrid.

LATER REPORTS,

VI II is payv 1;nio..I.s -
formation, and very easy to get any amount
Of rumors relative to the long threatened
strike OF railroad telegraph operators.
Careful inquiry at the general railroad
offices in this city fails to bring to light q
single case where railroad operator left
the key to-day in this city or vicinity.
Though 1t was understood Sunday
night that the operators OF the Wa
bash and Chicago & Alton would be
called out at noon to-day. The fact that
not man left his instrument gives color TO
the general belief that the strike was not
actually ordered for that time, or II ordered
it had been countermanded. It is now
surmised the order was not 10 strike to-
day, but continue 10 do railway business as
usual merely refusing business for the West.
ern Union with the understanding that II
companies insisted on sending commercial
business or discharged operators for reius-
ing commercial business the strike actually
begins tomorrow noon. This seems TO
tally with dispatch from st. Louis. 1t is
now said the bill grievances presented
the Chicago & Alton met with recognition
from that road to the extent Of q notice to
the committee, that men who have grley-
ances should apply individually to their
division superintendent. The Brotherhood
profess to have information to the effect
that division superintendents have been in
structed 10 lend kindly ear to such COM
Olaints.

WASHINGTON, August Gan extensive
strike took place to-day among the laboreB
upon the great boundary sewer for an in.
crease from Sl.25 to sl5O per day. The
bosses at the sewer believed riot was i'm
mineut and telephoned for the police to
protect the men who persisted in going to
work. They also believed the strikers wee
about to march TO the brickyards and In.
duce or compel others TO quit work.
Mounted Officer Slack rode to the scene
and found an orderly gathering Of about two
hundred white and colored men forming
in line. He ordered the men to disperse,
and muscular young colored man, named
William Clifton, ordered them to fall in
and march to the brickyards. Slack drew a
pistol, and again ordered the crowd 70 dis.
