The Cholera i'm Spain.

MADRID, July 9-The number of new cases of
cholera reported in Spain, yesterday, was ], ,479,
and the deaths, 744.
Cholera, it is rumored, has crossed the Span
ish frontier into the French department of the
Auge
Dispatches from Aranjuez show that the rava-
ges of cholera in that beautiful suburb Of Madrid
have been dreadful beyond description. The
streets are deserted and the population has sud
denly decreased from $4,000 to 5000. Those
that are left feel fated, and make hardly any
attempt to ward off disease Many who are at
tackled drop senseless as they are walking about,
and expire before aid can reach them. More
than one-tenth of the soldiers in the garrison,
including six officers, have died of cholera within
week Half of the remainder are IN hospitals.
Every one of the Sisters of Mercy sent to nurse
the cholera patients has caught the plague and
is dead. There collins left in the city to
inclose the dead, and the few hearses are prac
tically useless The bodies of the victims are
left by the roadside wrapped in blankets, and
are gathered in the city dust-carts, in which
they are taken to the cemeteries and cast into
trenches

The NTahdi Must BE Smashed.

LONDON, July "a blue book has been is
eued on the evacuation of Dongola. General
Wolseley telegraphed as follows to Mr.. Smith,
the Secretary for War: There some troops
still IN Dongola. There would be no difficulty
in reoccupying the places evacuated.
No frontier forces will suffice to
arrest the Mahdi if our retreat be continued The
Mahdi will invade Egypt and we will then be
compelled to fight him under the disadvantage
of possible rising of the Egyptians also if
slight reverse happens. The Mahdi must be
smashed. A Khartoum campaign in the autumn
would be certain of success"
Mr.. Smith asked what forces irrespective of
an autumn campaign, would be required to re-
occupy Dongola General Wolseley and General
Butler exchanged views on the subject The
latter replied that the task would be difficult:
that 1t would practically require fresh expedi-
tlon, the province being denuded of
supplies. General Wolseley replied that
General Butler overestimated the diff
Guilty. Mr.. Smith then telegraphed that the
government had decided not to reverse the orders
OF the preceding government, but wished the
completion Of the railway from Wady Halfa to
Ferket. which would be necessary in the event
of a future advance being ordered, and that
General Wolseley should continue the retreat to
point which, in his judgment, provided security
for Egypt

gentlemen whom the Pail Mall Gazette named to

ranged for meeting Of members of the House
of Commons on Tuesday, to discuss protection
of young girls.
During the debate strong feeling was displayed
both for and against tue bill 1t was ultimately
ordered to a third reading. which practically
insures its passage. A leading feature of this
bill is provision to increase the age at which a
female can become a consenting party to an un.
lawful cohabitation.
In the House of Commons, night, Sir Mi
chael Hicks Beach denied that the appontmen
of a commission to investigate the depression in
trade and agriculture was a covert effort to re-

the Crop He Expects.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WAsHINGTON July 9.-For twenty four hours
after his arrival here from Atlantic City and
other points East, Vce-president Hendricks was
assiduously engaged feeding the Yankee upon
sweetmeats of his most copious manu-
facture. 1t is we'll known that Mr. Hendricks
went into New England for the purpose of SOW
ing seed for 1888. He said himself, shortly after
returning, that he was glad to 60 there, because
the people there did not know him personally,
and that ho was much gratifed that he had
favorably impressed the inhabitants.
''The Yankee" said the Vice-president to a
friend, who was expected to circulate the words,
''is my ideal of man-big- hearted, big Drained,
astute, educated He is the genius of the coun
try comes up fully to the standard in every
thing. 1t is indeed gratifying the way 1 was re-
ceive5 in New England. 1t was like going
amongst old friends, They impressed me mag
nlfcently-and in frankness l must say be-
lieve had similar effect upon them"
The Vice president went there to pose and he
believes he has smtten that whole section of
country. He expects hereafter to count New
England among the States that will vote for him
-soid after the first ballet you know, which is
but complimentary-in the convention three
years hence
1t is observed now that the Vice president
takes great pains to be agile when walking or
alighting from vehicles. and that he frequently
alludes to his robust health. He doesn't want
anything like an affected toe to cheat him the
next time that he has the Yankees eye. The
Yankee-he knows him but to love him, he
names him but to praise.

her passengers little group of three, father,
son and daughter, who can boast of a real ad

thirteen, respectively. Some time in February,
1884, the two children were sent to the butchers.
some four squares distant from home, and never
returned. The police made dllgent search, but
to no purpose. A wandering band of gypsies,
who had been encamped in the outskirts
of the city, and who left the same morning,
were suspected of being the kidnapers, and the
father, accompanied by private detective,
followed in search Of the abductors The band
had gone South, and thither the pursuers
followed. Time and again they were hot on their
trail, only to lose it again. Finally Mr.. Carson
sent the detective home and continued his weary

portion of the band were at Covington, Tenn.
He at once departed for that place, and on

person he saw was his boy engaged in gathering
frewood. The little fellow, when he saw his
father dropped everything and ran sobbing into
his arms. His captors were inclined to offer re-
sistance to the intruder, but a few emphatic
words and the display of revolver quieted
them, and, chagrined at having lost their cap
tive, they told the father where he would find
the other band and his daughter, who were then
camped at LaGrange, Tenn, close to the Missis-
sippi line The now oyerjoyed father left at
once for that point, and. on the 4th, found his
little girl, sadly changed. The gypses had
darkened her skin and dyed her hair

scar had also been branded on her neck, and, in
fact, many things had been done to destroy her
identity. Here Mr.. Carson met with resistance,
being driven out of the camp, but he returned
with the marshal of La Grange, and the little
girl was at once given up. Mr.. Carson went on
to Memphis where, having telegraphed the news
home he took passage on the Gaff. When your
correspondent saw him this morning he was
smiling and although several thousand dollars
poorer than he was year ago. seemed very
happy in the possession of his children. The
little ones bore the marks of rough life, but

Refurnishing the Capitol-Mysterious Disap-

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WAsHINGToN, July 9.-Repairs in progress at
the Capitol now make the building look un-
kempt. The floors are bare in the Senate and
House, and the seats are ali out of place. Every
two years new carpets are put down throughout
the building, the desks are recovered, and repairs
costing about $50, 900 are made. A great many
new fixtures are put in, and the place looks
clean at the opening of new Congress. Con-
gressmen and senators are the most reckless
people that visit the Capitol and seem to delight
in wearing and tearing things out What be-
comes of the old furniture, and carpets, and fix
lures no ono seems to know No questions are
asked. This is great place to lose things,
and nearly everything loose is carried away. The
idea prevails that what belongs to the govern
