REVOLUTIONARY.

Republican Insurgents Make an Attack ON
tho Fortress of St. Julian at Cartageus,
Spain. and After Creating Bad Scare
Beat a Retreat--Arrests OF Accomplices.
MADRID, January 13.-The attack made
on the fort of st. Julien at Cartagena by
Republican insurgents was carefully
planned and was probably as successful
as was expected. The enterprise was the
outcome of a meeting of revolutionary
exiles at Marseilles. A swift schooner
was bought with money said to have been
furnished by Senior Ruiz Gorilla, and was
fitted up as coasting trader. She had
deck-load of empty crates and a
cargo of weapons and ammunition.
A party of fifty men, nearly all OF whom
had held commissions in the Spanish
army or navy, sailed in her from Mar
settles on New Years Day. The vessel
rode at anchor in Cartagena Harbor for
several days, and it was given out that
she was awaiting charter for Mediter-
ranean cruise. The pretended sailors
lounged about Cartagena, and soon be-
came familiar with the sentinels at
the fortress, which is q trumpery affair
Oh Olu.JdSHIOucu uIdScHlys muhy
innocent looking barrels and boxes were
sent ashore and secreted in places which
have not vet been discovered by the po-
lice or military authorities. These are
now believed to contain arms and cart
ridges to be used in a general uprising.
The plans of the conspiratOrs were COM
pletely arran ed by last Sunday. Many
soldiers of the St. Julian garri-
son had promised their assist
ance, provided that the attacking
party came in respectable force. Just
after midnight several boat loads Of men
left the schooner and landed at different
wharves in Cartagena. They concen-
trated at the fortress and carried the
outer works with hardly q show of resist
ance. They had reached the parade in
side of the fort before a general alarm
was given. The whole garrison was
called out, but as they came from
their barracks, the officers were
shot by skillful marksmen among
the rebels. The officer who was most
seriously wounded is General Fajardo,
the military Governor and commander of
the fortress. He will probably die. At
ter delivering their first round of shots
the conspirators escaped through a sally
port which had been left open for that
purpose. None of them were captured,
and there is no evidence that any of them
were even wounded. They hastily re-em-
barked on their schooner and put to sea.
A man-of-war was sent in pursuit, but up
to the latest advices, the schooner had
not been overhauled. Some naval Off
GERS have q theory that she was run across
to the coast of Algiers or Morocco, and
scuttled. Eighteen soldiers and civilians
have been arrested at Cariagena, charged
with being implicated in the conspiracy.

A Solitary Survivor,

NEW YORK, January l3.-The schooner
Cassie Wright, 365 tons, with guano from
Philadelphia to Savannah, off Fryingpan
Shoals on Friday, the 9Th inst, and while
leaking badly, was struck by heavy gale
of wind from the Southwest. Captain
Clark turned his ship and scudded for
Beaufort, but was compelled to beach his
vessel on Friday night, about six miles
west of Cape Lookout light, and three
miles east of Beaufort Bar. The Stew
ard was swept away soon after the vessel
struck. One sailor was drowned in at
tempting to get ashore, and another was
knocked overheard and lost on Sunday
by the breaking of the mizZen mast.
The Captain and mate froze to death
on Sunday, and one sailor on Sunday
night at eight O'Clock. Another sailor,
the only one of the crew left, was rescued
yesterday about ten o'clock by crew of
natives. Tie natives, to the number of
nearly fifty men, with several boats that
they carried across the banks, stayed on
the beach from Saturday until yesterday
in the worst spell of weather that we
have had for many years and made every
effort in their power to reach the suffer-
ers, but the wind was blowing a gale
right on the beach, making tremendous
sea in which no boat could live.
The rescued man did all in his power
to keep his companions from freezing.
He beat and kicked them constantly, but
to no purpose. They would sleep, and
sleep brought death. The crew of the
schooner were without anything to eat or
drink from Wednesday night, the 18th
instant. 1t is reasonable to suppose that
if there had been life saving station at
Cape Lookout the six lives would have
been saved

Murdered ana Robbed

Bismarck, Dakota, April 1.-The
body of jacques Lagier, French set
tier, who was murdered in his shack,
ten miles south Of this city, was brought
to town to-day. The body was not dis
covered until last evening, but it is be-
lieved the murder was committed sew
eral days ago. Lager was peaoeable,
industrious farmer, siyty-six years OF
age, and came to the country four years
ago with $1,000. When found there
were $40 in his inside pantaIoons pocket.
The fact that he had on overalls leading
to the belief that the guilty parties
were deceived and gave up their efforts
to secures plunder after rihing the
other pockets. Tie crime was the most
brutal, the killing being done with an ak
with which the entire top of the old
mans head was crushed. There are evi-
denees of q struggle in the shack, and
the burned whiskers on ono side of the
face show that he was thrown against
the fire. The scene OF the homicide is
near the shack of the late Gus Lenz,
who was killed one year ago. Suspicion
tests ON neighboring Frencbman with
whom LAGER had disagreed about two
years ago.
