ing Atrocities.
A correspondent at Liona writes that
news has been received of collision
between the Rositas and Bermudistas,
resulting in l. loss of many lives and
the pillage of many homes by drunken
Indians. 1t Is also stated that battle
took place in the streets of Huanta,
many being killed on both sides, among
them being the chiefs of both parties,
Senior Lazon deputy OF congress and
head OF the revolution, and DR.. Urbana,
chief Of the Rosa's party.
DIR. Urbana having seen five members
OF his family fall at his side during the
eight hours of the combat, left with the
remaining members TO seek refuge at
the Matriz Church. There he found a
number of women, children, and old
people. The priest, before the tragedy,
eX-Orted the Indians to desst, but
when the Indians are drunk they are
most furious and are incapa bic of
reasoning. AS they drew near the
church, threatening to burn, it DR..
Urbana, knowing that he had BEEN
the only cause for such action on the
part OF the Indians, and wishing to save
the lives OF the many innocent persons
that bad taken refuge in the church, re-
solved to sacrifice himself. Leaving the
church he addressed his enemies: 81
am Urbana whom you are looking for, !"
he said; 'kill me if you like, but the
persons In the church are not my &C
completes. Do not injure them"
The priest to whom he announced his
determination, gave him his benedic
ton and accompanied him TO the door,
opening wicket and bidding him good
bye, sobbing as be did so. The priest
intended to return and close the church,
but as he arrived at the porch he be-
came deprived of reason. A few mo-
ments afterward the head of DIR. Urbana
was carried on a pike. The euer-
rlllas, in their drunken fury, not being
satisfied with the murder Of DR.. Ur-
bana, continued TO slaughter the inhab-
itants, and to sack and burn the town
for many hours atterward. Over 100
lives were sacrificed to the Old rancor
existing between the families Of Lazona
and IJrnana

ton in n Body.

ton in u Body.
PARIS, March 14.-Adverse action by
the Senate, yesterday, on Prime Min
lister Tirard's demand tor the adoption
of the order of the day, when the mat
ter of the commercial treaty with Tur-
key was brought up, has caused the
downfall Of the entire ministry.
An Interpolation was submitted DUR
ing yesterdays sitting regarding the
treaty, and in response to this NJ Tirard
moved the adoption of the order of the
day. The Senate, by q majority of rs,
refused to adopt M. Tira1d's motion,
which was tantamount to a refusal to
vote confidence in the government.
M. Trard then rendered his resignation
to President Carnot, but the latter then
persuaded him to remain in office until
after Easter.
A cabinet meeting was held to-day,
to discuss the situation, at which NJ.
Trard reconsidered his determination
to remain, and after the meeting was
over he went to the palace of the
Elysee, President Carnot's residence,
and rendered the designations of all the
members Of the cabinet.
M. De Freycinet, munster of war in
M. 1irard's cabinet, will probably form
new ministry. 1t is rumored that NJ.
Constans, VINO recently resigned from
the ministry of the interior, and M. Ri
bot, will hold portfolios in the new min
istry. 1t is also understood that Ad-
miral Barley, minister of marine, M.
Faye. minister of agriculture, and M.
Falliere, minister of public instruction,
will remain in the cabinet.
President Carnot held consultation
with NJ. Floquet this afternoon. It is
believed in some quarters, this evening,
that NJ. FloQuet will be asked to form a
cabinet.

tributes Germany's failure to invite
Russia to the labor conference to the
fact that there is no labor question in
Russia, and because Germany is con-
WINGED that Russia would refuse to take
part in the conference on the ground
that it is virtually patronizing socialism.
Moreover, the paper adds, Russia's re-
tusal would seriously impede Germany,
inasmuch as it would cause France, also,
to refuse to take part.

In Russian Prisons.
Dispatches from Tomsk, the central

the prison now holds 400 healthy and 275
sick exiles, but that in 1886 the number

Their into the interior. In 1887 the arrl-
walls numbered IA ,277; in 1888. 1905,
and in 1889, up to September,
$4,000. Of these there were taken to
the interior 1882 in 1887; 1929 in
1888, and IL 900 in 1889. The daily av-
erage number of prisoners in 1888 was
$3.50. and the daily average number on
the sick list 396. A majority of the sick
had typhoid fever. An official report
declares that owing to lack OF room
hundreds of sick-heds had to be placed
in the open air while the temperature
was as low as six degrees Reaumur, and
that in consequence of this exposure
the mortality among the sick was enor-
nous.
