Paris, March r5.-An immense sen
sation has been caused by the stand
which the authorities have taken
toward the Fenian agtators In addi-
ton to the arrest of James Stephens,
Eugene Davis and John Morrissey
yesterday, the police this morning
arrested journalist named Mortimer
Leroy and another Fenian, name not
learned. Mrs. Stephens was also
arrested but subsequently released.
Warrants for the expulsion Of other
Fenian leaders have been issued and
further arrests are expected.
Stephens, Davis and Leroy were
taken to the frontier Of France to-day
and warned not to return. They and
the two anarchists expelled at the same
time have gone into Belgium Morris
sey was allowed to remain in Paris.
A cable special from Paris to the
Herald OF the I4th says 1t is reported
that the Chamber of Deputies and
members Of the government are con
WINGED of the necessity Of marching
upon Peking The government will
ask for a grant Of $ro,ooo,o 900 to pro
vide for the dispatch of $4,000 men to
China. The government has received
dispatches from Tonquin to-day, stat
ing that General Negrier succeeded in
occupying Thalke on the 9Th inst |
The Chinese troops who had been
defending the place fled into China
TIE Chinese Embassy to day deny
that the French have occupied the
heights of Keung, as claimed in Paris
The members of the Embassy say that
the French, after fighting several days |
and losing 500 men, succeeded in
occupying two positions commanding
road across the island between kelung
and Tamsui, but the Chinese still hold
all the other forts.
Drs Sands and Shrady, consulting
physicians in General Grants case,
visited the Generals residence this
afternoon, March 18th, and held con-
sultation with DR. Douglas. 1t is
understood that they fully endorsed
the treatment adopted by Drs Barker
and Douglas. The General was in
comfortable condition. The local dis
ease is believed, for the present, to be
stationary. General Grant slept more
last night than the preceding night.
He fell into sound slumber at 4
o'clock this morning and did not awake
until 10 O'Clock. The General does
not suffer much from pain, but COM
plains of little soreness. He takes
food more plentifully and consumed a
chop this morning. The damp weather
had no injurious effect upon him. The
affected part of his throat is treated with
iodoform, but the use OF cocaine has
been discontinued. The General says
that his insomnia is not due to pain.
The cancer does not interfere with his
breathing and has not particularly i'm
paired his voice or speech.
A Washington dispatch of March
I4th says; The administration be-
lieves that public sentiment demands
the preservation of the autonomy of
the Central American republics. In
his inaugural address the President
advocated peace policy and expressed
an unwillingness to interfere in the
affairs of foreign governments. When
Senator Bayard opposed the ratifica-
ton Of the Nicaraguan treaty in the
Senate he expressed similar sentiments.
The declaration of this policy, how
ever, did not imply that the United
States will sit idly by and see the gov
eminent of Guatemala consolidate three
unwilling independent republics under
Ole head, especially when President
Barrios is strongly suspected Of being
in the pay Of the French Government
and attempting to blackmail the United
States by having the Nicaragua Con-
gress rescind the ratification OF the
treaty Mexico has notified Barrios
that she will not consent to his consoli-
dation scheme, and this government
has ordered its ships Of war, the Shen-
andoah and Wachusetts, to Central
America, and the commanders of three
other vessels have been told to hold |
themselves in readiness to proceed
there at once There are American
interests to protect in Central Amer
lea and it looks now as though they
would be carefully watched.
The Secretary Of the Navy to-day
directed by telegraph the commanders
Of the Wachusett and Shenandoah Of
the North Atlantic squadron, now near
New Orleans, to proceed at once to
Central America. The commanders
Of three vessels OF the squadron remain |
ing near New Orleans were directed to
hold themselves in readiness to execute |
a similar order. OF the North Atlantic |
squadron three vessels-the Galena,
Powhattan and Swatara-are now in |
Central American waters. The entire |
squadron will be held subject to orders
from Washington. These movements
are understood to have direct reference
to the endeavor Of General Barrios to |
make himself supreme military chief
Of Central America"
