 The Rajah of Manipur Among the
 Number.
 CALCUTTA, March 31.-Further particu- lars received from the scene of the Manit pur massacre shows that the insurgen- tribes captured a number of prisoners, in- cluding the rajah of Manipur, whose de- position of a chief was the cause of the present trouble Mir. F. c. Grimwood, the British political agent at Manipur, Colonel Skene, who was commander of the detachment of Ghoorkhas that defend ed the camp of the commissioners, Mrs. Grimwood, wife of the political agent, two assistant commissions and one of the off cers of the Ghoorkas escaped in the dlrec- l tion of Silehar when the insurgents made | their final charge upon the camp and broke through the ranks of the Ghoorkas, | owing to the latter having exhausted their supply of ammunition during the forty, | eight hours fight which followed the mid night assault The fate of the remaining | officers is still unknown.
 | Four regiments have already started for
 Manipur with the object of effecting the
 release of the prisoners and of punishinl
 the rebellious tribes. These regiments in

 The general opinion seems to be that tn,
 military authorities will have to punish
 the insurgent tribes severely and prompt ly in order to avert a more serious revol
 which might follow any hesitancy or dis
 play of weakness upon the part of tn
 British officials.
 The seat of the government of Assam Ii at Shillong, which has a population 2,0O0. The population of Assam, how ever, is estimated at 5000, ,000. The hos tile tribes, composed of we'll armed, bray and cunning fighting men, are liabl to give the British forces considerabl : trouble before the revolt is ended.

THE BOSTON PRESS.


 BOSTON, March 31-Commenting edito- rially upon the recall of the Italian minis ter to this country the Globe says: That the situation is very serious, nay, critical, cannot be denied.
 The Advertiser says: The recall of Min ister Fava by the Itallan government is perhaps serious event, but it is not grave enough to warrant any visions of carnage or international war.
 The Journal says: The sudden recall of the Italian minister at Washington is sim ply unaccountable on the basis of any in formation as to the status of the New Or leans affair that is possessed on this side of the Atlantic. It does not appear that our government has shown any indiffer- ence to the case or any unwillingness to do all that could be done in the way of rep | aration.
 The Post says the position of the Italian government must be held both foolish and | offensive. Italy cannot expect us to 1 change our constitutional system, or set it aside for this occasion. | The Herald says the recall does not mean war or anything that is likely to lead to hostilities between Italy and the United States. It does not mean the upturn of diplomatic relations, even. | Ex-sECRETARY BAYARD's VIEWS. WILMINGTON, Del, March 31.-The Morning News tomorrow will print an in terview with ex-Secretary Bayard in which he says: There is no cause for the antici. patton of war in this action of the Italian government. The suspension of diplo. matic relations does not indicate that casualty exists between the nations. It ii highly probable that some error exists il the explanation of the minister's recall The king of Italy would be in a great hur ry if he broke off diplomatic relations a this time.

GOVERNORS MANSION.
The Proposition to Purchase the
SteRen's Residence.
Provisions of the Bill introduced
and the Amount to &c
Appropriated.

The announcement that bill had been
introduced in the Legislature appropri-
ating $4,000 for the purchase Of the resi-
dence Of Joseph StefIen's, on Fl street, for
a Governors Mansion, is not strictly cor
rect, and has led to considerable misap-
prehension in regard to the matter The
fact is the bill does not fix any price upon
the property, but leaves it to the discre-
ton Of the Governor to fix such price as
he may deem just and reasonable. The
outside limit of expenditure under it for
the purchase of the property, necessary
repairs and complete furnishing of the
house, is $4,000, which is about half what
it would cost to purchase the same
amount of ground and erect suitable
residence for the Governor if the work
is done by the State The full text of the
bill is as follows:
An Act to provide for the purchase, re-
pair and furnishing of a residence for
the Governor of California and to an
propriate money therefor.
The people of the State of California
represented in Senate and Assembly, do
enact as follows:
Section l. The Governor of the State of
California is hereby authorized and en-
powered to purchase for the State of Cal
ifornia, as and for a residence for the
Governor of California, that certain real
estate situated in the City of Sacramento,
California, and particularly described as
the east sixty-five feet of lot and all of
lots and 4, in the square, or block,
bounded by II and |, and Fifteenth and
Sixteenth streets, being 20 feet frontage
BON III street and 160 feet frontage on Six
teenth street.
Section 2. The sum of $4,000, or so
much thereof as the Governor may deem
necessary, is hereby appropriated out of
any moneys in The State Treasury not
otherwise appropriated, to defray the ex-
ponses incurred by virtue of this Act and
Tor the purposes thereof, and the Con-
troller is hereby directed to draw his
warrant therefor. for such sum or sums
as the Governor may require.
Section 3. Such sum as may remain
out of the money appropriated for the
purposes of this Act, after the purchase of
said real estate, shall be expended by the
Governor in the repair aud furnishing of
the buildings on said real estate so as to
make them suitable for the residence of
the Governor.
Section 4. Said real estate when the
title is conveyed to the State shall be and
remain known as the residence of the
Governor of California, and shall not be
used for any other purpose whatever.
Section 5. This Act shall take effect
and be in force from and after its passage.

Mr.. and Mrs. Steen varied their mys-
terry entertainment very materially last
night. The arithmetical feat was per-
feat was repeated, but the reading of
dates, names thought of, and the identify
ing of articles were omitted. In their
place two wonderfully puzzling feats with
cards were performed, in one case with
both operators blindfolded, and q clever
trick with glasses and the changing of
the colors of liquids in them, was given
and explained. 1t was myStifying en-
tertainment, wonderful memory exhi-
bition, and the naming of cards in adj
vance of drawing them an especially
strange and impenetrable feat But the
chief an browning act was the blindfold-
ing of MIR. Steen while two of the COM
mittee drew cards. These they showed
to the audience, and Mrs. Steen, also
blindfolded, named them, to the as
tonishment of the committee. Steen
was then released from his band
ages, and while the committee-m men
held. the cards in the pack, made
the selected bits of printed cardboard ap-
pear underneath a hat. 1t was better done
than anything we can recall to the credit
OF Heller, Keller, Hermann, or any spirit
