| POLITICAL NOTES.
| LONDON, June 15th.-The Ulster Con-
servatives are signing a memorial in favor
of the adoption of Earl Spencer's mini
mum coercion bill. The Marquis of Sails

on the understanding that it will be en-

1t is reported that Lord Randolph

iZation of the Conservative party, sending

making Sir Michael Hicks Beach the lead
er in the House of Commons, and exclud-
| ing other members of the old Cabinet
Lord Salisbury had another conference
with Sir Stafford Northcote late tonight.
1t is believed their efforts to form a min
istry have not been successful. Lord
Randolph Churchilrs action and views on

upset the Conservatives.
Progress of the Cholera scourge.
MADRID, June 10Th. - The cholera is
spreading westward along the Mediter-
ranean. There are several cases in Terlu
Alicante and Cartegena. Twelve thousand
persons left Madrid during the past week
in consequence of the cholera scare The
exodus is increasing.
THE DISEASE EXPECTED AT MADRID.
New YORK, June 15th.-The HeraldS
| Madrid correspondent says The best oh
tainable statistics show one or more cases
of cholera in each of the fifty-one towns
scattered among the eight Provinces along
the Mediterranean. The Province of

| twelve hours. | had this morning an in
! terview with Martet, ex-Minister of the In
| terror, who has seen three great epidemics.
He thinks the slowness of the cholera in
spreading proves that it will be a small af-
fair this year. All the previous great epi-
denies appeared suddenly and spread like
| lightning. From sanitary point of view
! the Spanish are better prepared than for
merly. Martet expects the cholera will
reach Madrid or other large cities, but an
| ticipates light death rate in Madrid He
will be greatly surprised if it ever goes over
ten daily. He thinks the disease easily
cured, with proper care, and calls it the
" tenement-house" cholera. He thinks
| that America needs not fear it, if the au-
thorities attack the cholera, instead of al
lowing the cholera to attack the people
| The sanitary authorities in Madrid are
showing great activity, and have ordered
all cows and donkevs ont of the city
limits. Fires are burning in the worst
streets, and the sewers are flushed nightly.
FILTHY CONDITION OF MARsE1LLEs
MARsEILLEs June 15th.-All the doctors
decline to express an opinion on the value
of Dr. Ferran's experiment, but all declare
that for the present they would not venture
to adopt the inoculation system were the
epidemic to break out to-day at Marseilles.
To-day correspondent visited the tilthiest
quarters of Marseiles and interviewed sew
eral local authorities on the prospects of
the recurrence of the cholera. Experience
has taught Marseilles little. In most of
the old streets the inhabitants still pitch
their animal and vegetable refuse into the
cutters. The sewers are foul and every
thing is ready and favors the development
of the epidemic if it should again break
out. All the warnings of the doctors seem
I pOwerless to stir the Municipal Council to
the danger. The sanitary precautions
! taken against the scourge extend no further
than sprinkiing little disinfecting fluid
against the walls of few houses. So far
there is no sign OF anything like an epi-
demic, but as the first physician in Mar
seilles remarked The city is full of in
fection. All remains to be done NV re-
peated appeals to the Municipal Council
fall into deaf ears

Affairs in Colombia.
PANAMA, June 18TH = Advices from
Colon state that affairs in that city are in a
bad shape. There is no police force, and
every man has to guard his own property.
About the only buildings erected since the
destruction of the town are little shanties
made from the iron roofs Of the burned
buildings. These are located on the side
walks and in the streets. in utter disre-
gard of order. The flagship Tennes-
see, bearing the broad pennant of
Rear Admiral Jouett, left Aspinwall ON the
4th for Sayinalla. DR.. Justo Arosemena
sailed on the Tennessee. 1t is stated that
the visit of that vessel to the coast on the
present occasion is in connection with
efforts TO bring about Il peaceful under
| standing between the belligerents in and
about Barranquilla. DR.. Justo Arosemena,
| it is said, has received instructions from
Bogota 10 treat with the leaders of the rev.
olutionary party, and to give them some
thing more liberal in terms than those
! proposed to them by General Reyes q few
! days ago. These We're the same as those
Offered TO and accepted by Aizpura five
weeks ago, but the rebel chiefs in
BaTranquilla are men of higher standing
| and heavier caliber than the Isthmian
chief and they told Reyes that they pre-
| ferred to fight it out. The Government
forces are gradually approaching the revo-
| lutionary forces operating on Barranquilla
as their headquarters, and Eyeiv news may
be expected fram that quarter soon. Cen
eral Reyes, with the Cauca contingent, is
moving to effect junction with the forces
of General BTiceno, and General Mathews
is coming down the river as rapidly as pos
| sble to join his contingent with those OF
the two chiefs just mentioned. Their
united detachments will number about
2.4O0 men. Then General Quintero is re-
! ported to be moving down i'll support
! of these forces with $4,000 men; but
/ he is said to be too far away
| to possibly arrive III time to assist in the
| decision Of the battle. The Tevolutionists
! are reported in strong force, having 1000
men, with excellent arms and the inval-
liable assistance of eight armed steamers.
| General Santo Domingo Villa is in Carta-
| gena with i strong garrison. The Sentries
and positions indicate an early and decisive
! battle, on the result of which hangs the
question of the immediate pacfcation of
! the republic or a return to- life and
energy Of an expiring revolution and an
| other six months of war, turmoil and loss.

victory for the rebels at Barranquilla would
