some time ago and acquitted. The tes-
timony yesterday was to the effect that
the deputy had immoral habits, and led
fast life, making it necessary for him
to add dishonesty to the small salary

was under. The case was given to the
jury about 8 O'Clock in the afternoon,
and at a late hour they had been unable

the seat vacated by Lord Harrington. Both
parties, fully alive to the fact that
the loss of this seat will be ac-

an almost decisive test Of tho fate Of tho
ministry in the coming elections, will strain
their resources in money and local infiu-

triumph. Lord Harrington held the seat
partly in family interest, partly on account
of personal popularity and partly as a
unionlst.
WHAT 1T WILL DECIDE.
The vote will decide whether the eiector-
ate, which is fairly representative of the
whole of Lancashire, is on purely political
grounds Gladstonian or dissldent. The

Considerable Anxiety at Military

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Jan l.-Anxiety at
military headquarters over the situation
with regard to the United States troops is
very great. The wires between Fort Ring
gold and Brownsville are still down and it
is impossible for any late advices
from the seat OF war TO get through.
The only way in which the military
authorities here can get information is by
oouriers from the scene of active field opera
tioas or from Fort Ringgold to Lareda or
Brownsville, a distance of about 100 miles
either way. Under these conditions It will
be impossible for any news to be received
here, even if an engagement occurred, until
many hours afterwerd.

and if the l 900 Mexican troops who are re.
ported to have murdered and defeated Gen.

Mexico, have made their way to Garza's
stronghold on the Texas side, their united
forces would give Capt. John O.. Bourke

GEN. STANLEY UNEASY.
Gen. Stanley and other military autbori-
ties are very uneasy over not receiving any
information from the seat of war during
the past fortv-eight hours. The locality
where the field operations are now supposed
TO be carried on is fully 120 miles from a
telegraph station. II would not be
at all impossible for Cara. with a
force of 200 TO capture Fort Ringzold il
it became necessary for him to secure food
and military supplies. Ii an opportunity
has occurred it is not improbable to
believe that he has executed his
threats Gen. Stanley will send two
more troops Of cavalry to the scene Of dis
turbance early Tomorrow morning. If it
becomes necessary additional troops will be
sent TO the frontier from other military de-
partments.
