Charles Russelfs assertion that Mr..
Bayard never tried to justify the Behring
Sea seizures on the ground that the
United States had property in seals was
SO hot that it. threatened to jeopardise
the whole arbitration. Sir Charles Rus
sell, Senator Morgan, Lord Hannah, the
Baron de Courcel, Mr.. Phelps and JUS
tice Harlan spoke with high spirit and
occasionally with bitterness. Senator
Morgan and Mr.. Phelps declined to guar
antee that the United States would ac-
cord damages for the seizures even if
the tribunal decided against them Lord
Hannah exclaimed: ''Then our whole
arbitration is useless and the whole
question will be reopened." Finally the
difficulty was adjusted temporarily bya
decision that the discussion of the ques-
tion of liability should be postponed.

Court today, and again arraigned on the
first mentioned charge. Townsend was
also charged today with having sent a
menacing letter to Mr.. Gladstone, which
was read in court. The letter is dated
April rs, and is as follows:

THE M'LANE ON GUARD.
The Revenue Cutter Ready to Give Chase to
Fi1ibusters.

New YORK, May 1.-THE Times Key
West special says: The revenue cutter
McLane, which was telegraphed by
order of the secretary of the treasury to
return to this port Immediately, on ac-
count of the demonstrations of the Cuban
filibusters here, and reports of an expe-
dition being fitted out to sail for Cuba,
arrived here at p. M, yesterday Her
commander had a conference with the
collector of customs. the result of which
could not be ascertained, but no liberty
to officers or men was granted. Boats
were lowered and armed and every prep
aration made to intercept any boat or
vessel entering OF leaving the harbor. ia
force of custom house officers nightly
patrol the south beach, with code of
signals arranged between them and the
cutter. The McLane is under steam and
ready to slip her moorings and steam out
at the signal.
The Federal officers here say they have
reliable information of preparations to
send an expedition from here or from
one of the adjacent islands to Cuba, and
are of the opinion that the attempt will
soon be made.
Politics In 1t.
New YORK, May 1.-THE Herald's
Havana special says: There appears to
be no danger whatever that revolution
can be organized in Cuba. It is believed
that the sensational accounts of the out
break, of which the Sartorius brothers
were leaders, originated in semi-official
sources and were spread with the hope
that they might influence the vote in the
Spanish Cortes on the proposal Of the
Colonial Minister to reinforce the garri-
son in Cuba and to increase the Cuban
Secret Service Fund and the general bud
get. Opposition to these proposals was
feared, and Cubansnewspapers now open
ly charge that the Holquin affair was ar
ranged between the Captain General and
the Sartorius brothers with the hope of
frightening the home government into
voting the sum asked for Cuba.

BRAVE MICHAEL DONOVAN.
The Hero of q Sad Tragedy on HaverhiIl


HAvERHILL, May 11.-Michael Dono-
van, the gateman at the Essex street
railroad crossing, was taken to the City
Hospital this morning with one leg out
off and the other badly mangled. Re
gardless of his own danger, Donavan
rushed in front of a train this morning
and attempted to save an old man from
death. He saw the victim mangled he
'yond recognition, and before he could
spring to a place of safety he was struck
and had most miraculous escape from
instant death. The accident happened
shortly after 9 o'clock. The shifter SO
was coming over the crossing on the in
coming track, and at the same time the
shifter 183, with a flat car, was backing
out of the crossing from the Granite
street freight yards. The old man at
tempted to run between the two engines.
Gateman Donovan saw that he would be
killed and rushed out on the track
directly in front of the engines and tried
to pull him to one side. His efforts were
too late, however, and both were struck.
Donovan was taken to the police station
in an open express wagon, the police for
some reason falling to respond to call
for the ambulance. The groans of the
injured man and the bleeding stump of
his leg dangling over the end of the
wagon, as he was being driven through
Essex and Merrimac streets formed
horrible spectacle, and good deal Of
criticism is heard of the treatment re-
ceived by the brave man at the hands of
the police. The aged victim was identis
fed as Farrell F. MeGovern, Is years
old, residing on Central street, Bradford.
Donovan died shortly after noon. He
was 29 years of age.
