and the rest of the Irish political prison
ers be released. The official report from
Dublin Castle on the recent plots of
dyDamiters in Ireland says that the out
break has been traced to an insignificant
group affiliated with the old Fenisns.
Hardly more than half dozen men com
prise the group, and they have been under
police surveillance for years. No trace
of relations between the group and any
body in America can be found
ENGLAND STANDS AY SPAIN.
The Earl of Rosebery, Secretary of
state or foreign affairs. has been asked
by Spain to assist in the settlement of

ment of the aggressive Riffs, for an
indemnity to cover the expense of the
Spanish campaign and for guarantees
against future attacks. If Gen. Campos'

INDIA's FINANCES.
G. 2. Russell, parliamentary secretary
of the Indian Office, made a rather cur
ious statement in the House of Commons
last evening as to the condition of the
Indian finances and the need of an Indian
loan. He virtually attributed the neces-
sity Of a loan to the reduction of the ur-
used balances to R1 $50. 900 and the obliga-
tion to spend 9S,0O0,00 by next April
The sum of the situation is in fact as fol-
follows: Since the closing of
midas minis to free coinage
of silver, the Indian council has
borrowed "a, 800, 000 partly on six months
bills and partly by a sale of debentures.
In the coming year the council must pro-
vide e22 200, 900, including the payment
or renewal of this years bills. Indian
trade is in worse condition than at any
time before the closing of the minis, and
the Indian treasury is in a state which
causes grave apprehensions. The coun-
ellis present loan of g1O,O0O,0O0 must be
supplemented by another within year
If anything like order is to be restored i'll
