Star and Herald bulletins published to-day
say: The steamer Colon was seized at As
pinwall by the rsvolutionists, who demanded
the delivery Of shipments Of arms on board.
The agent refused to deliver them. Conner,
local superintendent of the Pacific Mail
Company, was first arrested, and later the
captain and Parser Of the steamer were
placed under arrest on board. Subsequently
Captain Dowell, general agent Of the Pacific
Mail Company, Mr.. Wright, United States
Consul, and Lieutenant of the American
man-of-war Galena were arrested and
MARCHED OFF TO THE PRISON.
They were released At Q o'clock on condi-
ten that the arms should be delivered, and
the delivery Is now going on. The Ameri-
can and English war ships did nothing to
protect foreign interests because the revolu.
tionsry chief declared he would resist their
influences BY force. The Americans are In
dignant at the insult to the flag and the out
rage to their persons and property. Troops
60 from here tonight to attack the revolu-
tionists, but with the arms from the Colon
they will probably be able to control events
In their own way and in their own interests.

GENERAL GRANT ON MONDAY.
An Unfavorable Turn in His Disease.

| General Grants disease assumed an un.
favorable condition last Saturday night, and
TO this writing since intense solicitude ha:
been manifested by his physicians and the
world. Bulletins have been issued by the
physicians, and every one who has had access
to the General has been interviewed and the
points telegraphed. We give some Of the
most important:
NEW YORK, March 80, 2:3o p. MN an.
swer to an inquiry as to Gen. Grants condi.
ton, Col. Fred Grant just stated that his
father was not quite IS we'll Is he has been.
The General is now sitting up. He has
taken some food since noon. DR.. Douglas
has not left bis side to-day, nsr will not
leave until relieved by another doctor.
NEW YORK, March 80, AS p. m.-Dr.
Douglas, on departing from General Grant 3
residence to make . call, was asked II he
thought the end would come during the
night. In answer he said 81 think not, but
the General IL now passing through q stage
incident to the disease, and frankly cannot
tell II the end will como tonight. The
General Is growing weaker and weaker"
These words were spoken without reserve,
and carried conviction to the hearers, which
none OF the bulletins had done. DR.. Doug
las returned from his calls after an absence
Of about an hour. He had come back to
remain oil night. DR.. Shrady soon Joined
him for the same purpose. At 6 O'Clock p.
m. Romero, the Mexican minister, called At
the house. His stay was short. When asked
on Fifth Avenue about the patient and the
outlook, he said: "Of course no one can
foretell with certainty. The disease recently
was within the power Of the doctors, but
now 1t has gone quite beyond them. The
General may live ten aud he may die in two
hours. fear he Is going to choke to death.
If the disease reaches an artery the danger
Of choking 10 almost inevitable. The men,
bers of the family are now at the Generals
bedside. The doctors are there, too, but
they keep back as much as possible. 1 fear
the General will choke to death. It's too
bad" In response to inquiries, Doctors
Douglas and Shrady put out the following
bulletin:
cat this moment, p. m, General Grant
is very quiet. His temperature and pulse
Is about normal. He has taken food regu-
larly and well, and In the usual quantity.
He Is more silent than usual and has made
no exertion Of any kind to. day. 1t gives the
impression Of being weaker, which Is not
indicated by his pulse.
9:20p. m.-No change in the condition of
General Grant. He Is somewhat weaker II
anything. Temperature and pulse normal.
He has taken liquid food In the usual guam
tity to-day.
10 p. m.-General Grant Is somewhat cas-
isr than at last reports. He continues very
weak.
NEW YORK, April Lilac p. m.-(Dur-
ing the day General Grant had been very low
and 1t was thought he could not live through
1t, but at the above hour the physicians
thought he would live until morning.)
Up to Thursday evening there was no
marked change in General Grants condi-
ton.

LONDON, March 29.-The Daily News says
there Is reason to believe that the reply OF
DE Oilers concerning The Afghan frontier is
on the way to England, and that 1t Is dis.

thank the firmness of England and the imi.

belief that some resource of diplomacy will

The French Meet a Reverse at Dong Dong.

PARIS, March 27.--All the morning news
papers contain articles on the French reverse
at Dong Dong. A few editorials severely
criticise the Government for its dilatorines,
in sending achievements to Tonquin, but
the majority are very warm In denuncistion
Of the Cabinets Chinese policy.
Rochefort has an editorial in the Intrdnsi-
geant on the debate in the Chamber of Dep.
uties last evening on the Interpolation upon
the present state of the France. Chinese war.
The article concludes with the following
words: "Cease to question the Ministers and
invoke the guillotine."
The Gaulois says thirteen French officers
were killed at Dong Dong in Mondays and
Tuesdays fighting, and declares Gen. Ne
grier's position is an exceedingly prscarious
one. Forty thousand Chinese troops are
massed on the frontier, not far distant.
Figaro urges the French forces to imme-
diatsly march upon Canton.

will be seen that the situation revealed by re-

evitable outcome of a deliberately planned
and firmly prosecuted movement. In 1896 il
will be seen the largest sections of territory

in 1S63-'67-'74-76-'S1 and 'S4 grow smaller
