Tie Dispute Over the Caroline Islands.

On the oath ult. the Germans took possession
of Yap, one of the Caroline Islands over which
there has lately been SO much dispute. This
news caused the widest excitement in Madrid,
where an attack was at once made on the Ger
man embassy. The windows were smashed,
the doors broken down, furniture destroyed,
and the German arms torn down and trodden
under foot. The mob was finally driven of by
the police and military, and strong guard of
cavalry, infantry and artillery was placed
around the building. The people insist upon a
determined attitude on the part of Spain, and a
revolution seems imminent in the event of the
Government submitting to Germany's en-
croachment. while on the other hand war
with that empire means, of course, most
humiliating defeat for Spain.

Went Out of jail to Attend the Funeral Of the
Wife He Murdered.

Michael Devanney was taken out of Jail at
st. Louis Saturday last to attend the funeral
of the woman he murdered. Funeral notices
have appeared in the papers to the effect that
Catherine Devanney, the beloved wife of
Michael Devanney," would be buried, etc, not
withstanding the woman accused him of her
murder. Much surprise was expressed when it
was learned that State officers had lent them
selves to presenting murderer in tears at the
grave of his victim. The Sheriff would have
been responsible i'll case of an escape, a riot or
any disturbance. Nothing of the kind, how
ever, occurred. Devanney was taken to the
funeral by Deputy Sheritls at the request of
Prosecutor Claiborne, who says the favor was
granted at the desire of the Devanney family.
This is said to be the first case of the kind on
record.

He Gave the General Away,
Chicaso Inter Ocean,1

Gen. Blank was to make speech at ra-
union at Winona. He has the reputation of
being temperance man, and, As his repu-
tation came to him without his asking, he is
somewhat proud OF it and dosen't want to
lose it. But 1t is very difficult for him to
speak without stimulant of some kind, and
he had devised many ways in which to take
a drink on the sly. On this occasion the
general arranged with one of his iutimates
that when he hal been speaking for half an
hour the friend should bring him drink of
whisky in a coffee cup.
The plan worked we'll up to certain
point. TIE general, at signal from his
friend, paused in his eloquent address to
take his coffee. He turned and saw his
friend standing before him with cup and
saucer in one hand and a glass Of water in
the other. One glance at the audience told
him that the cat was out of the bag, and
that his own jealous friend had given him
away. He made the best of bad break
and proceeded TO take his stimulant, the
Grand Army boys in front celebrating the
event with roars Of laughter. .a

tion that if his scalp was burned, he would

he couldn't rest his head, and couldn't sleep;
