Here's the Insult.

HAVANA, March 18.--Tbe commander
OF the Spanish cruiser Condo de Vena-
ditto reports that on March s, while
cruising of the eas:err coast of toe
island, he sighted a steamer heading
for Maysi Point. The steamers course
wcs to the northeast. The cruiser
hoisted a flag and The steamer replied
by raising an English flag. The cruiser
sigualled the steamer to stop, but with
out effect. As the steamer proceeded
at full speed toe cruiser first fired Two
blauk shots aud then two solid shots.
The commander says he did lot de-
sire TO hit the steamer, but merely 20
cause her TO beave to. He asserts that
the steamer was out one and a halt
miles off the Cuban coast when the
6riog occurred. The authorities here
have ordered a full inquiry to be made
into the commanders acts. Judging
from Captain Crossman's story, nobody
can doubt that the steamer III question
vas the Alliance, which was fred oD
by a Spanish cruiser on March S;h.
Nothing has beeu heard here to con-
firm the rumor that the gua5oa; Alsedo
has sunk an American. schooner. Inc
rumor is regarded as utterly %uutouoded
ia fact.

Baptist Convention a collection was
taken for its benefit.
In 1870 he wrote his lannon's book,
Preparation and Delivery of Ser
mons" which has been repub!ished
in England and various foreign coun.
tries. and is a text book in a ma ority
of the seminaries of all denominations
in Europe, America, and also the
evangelical schools of Asia and
Africa.
In 1871 he agreed with Dr.. Boyce
and others in the removal of the Sem.
mary in a larger city, and when Ken
lucky Baptists pledged 100000 it
was decided to come to Louisville.
In the autumn of 1871 he moved
with his family to this city, where he
at once took the highest place in the
estimation ofpeople of every faith.
The announcement that he was to
preach would always fill any church
in Louisville. He was probably n
Of the greatest preachers of the age.
On one notable occasion, when tae
lamented President J. P. Boyce was
making an appeal for the Seminary,
he said of his colleagues: "lfone were
called upon to name the FIVE greatest
living preachers be would have to m
cIude my colleague, John A.
Broadus."
Few ministers have written more
extensively or SO successfully.
Twenty-eight years ago he wrote for
The Religious Herald the most no5a-
bic series of papers criticislng the
Ame1icn Bible Unions version OF
the New Testament. In 1872 he
wrote another series, Predictions OF
Travel" in which he gave an &C
count Of a tour he made through
Europe, Egypt, and Palestine in
l870-lS7l. In 1876 he published
his series of lectures on the "E1istory
of Preaching" His recent works
include a documentary on Mat.
thew" Sermons and Addresses
"Jesus of Nazareth" "Three Cues
tons as to the Bible," "Duty Of
Baptists," "Christian Baptism"
Should Women speak in Mixed
Assemblies p" AS a teacher and
lecturer, DR.. Broadus was singularly
successful. He was chosen to de-
liver the opening lecture in the
lowering series at the Johns Hop
kins University, and won the admira-
ton of all who heard him.
DR.. Broadus took a lively interest
in all public affairs. He said it was
a duty as we'll as a privilege to vote,
and he always registered and voted
He remarked on one occasion: "Ihe
trouble with our elections is that
some people don't vote often enough,
and some vote too often" He was
in great demand as a speaker on ali
prominent educational and religious
occasions, and has probably declined
more invitations than any man in the
South.
Since the death of Dr.. Boyce be
has been a trustee of the Slater
Fund, which trust he gave much
attention, it being for the education
of the colored people of the South
Among the trustees were ex.Presl-

The "Carolina" Case.
The State Must Surrender the
Liquor Laden Boat and
Pay Costs.

CHARLESTON, March l5.-United
States District Judge Drawley to-day
decided the admiralty case, arising
out of the seizure by the State con
stables of the schooner Carolina
which arrived here on October rs,
with a cargo Of contraband whiskcy.
The snit was brought by the owner
to recover possession, and the court
directs that he be given possession.
The court finds that Section 80 Of
the dispensary law under which the
schooner was seized. is undconstitu-
,:onal and void in so far as it applies
to this case.
The court confines its jurisdiction
of the case to the single question as
to whether the seizure OF the vessel
was legal or not. Upon the validity
OF the police regulations by which
the State purports to control the
liquor traffic, it is not called on to
pass an opinion and rcfrains from
doing Q :. It does not sassume any
jurisdiction of the right of the State
to contiscate the cargo, but holds
that the seizure Of the schooner was
Illegal and in conclusion says 1T is
adjudged that SO much Of the act Of
January, 1895, under which the
vessel was seized is void as an in
reference with interstate commerce,
and that the libelIant is entitled to a
decree for possession and for his

Conflict Between Soldiers
and Citizens-The Cabinet
Resigns in a Body.

LONDON. March 1.-THE United
Press correspondent 10 Madrid tele-
graphs late this evening that the whole
Sagasta cabinet has resigned and Gene
raj Martinez de Campos has been
appointed Captain Genera! of Madrid.
General de Campos will take command
of the troops aud will be the next
Premier, as there is a general feeling
that a strong hand in the government
is an imperative necessity just now.
During the final council of the Sa-
gasta cabinet, a committee of officers
went to the council room and asked
for the Premier. They demanded that
be suppress The Resumen, which bad
published reflections upon the courage
Of the officers corps, aud proposed to
Parliament severely oppressive press
laws. The Premier declined to make
any such concessions. He reported the
officers demands to the council. and
after a brief discussion, the Ministers
decided to resign.
The upset is due primarily to the
ill-feeliug aroused between the civil and
military authorities by the military
raids on the newspaper Offices. Tha
present colonial complications also add
ed to the difficulties Of the Ministry.
General Campos has just ordered back
to their barracks all the officers, who
at this moment, 11:15 p. ~, stand 10
groups in the streets. Officers of the
provincial! garrisons have begun tele-
graphing expressions of congTatuIation
and sympathy to their comrades IN the
capital
In addressing Congress last evening,
during the debate or the military ez-
cesses the Minister Of War tried TO pal
late the conducs of the rio,ouos officers
He accused the Spanish press of crif'-
cising the army aud its generals more
severely than was customary with the
press cf any other couhtry.
His plea for the rioters caused a cen-
siderable disturbance in the Chamber.
Tie reporters began murmurlng when
he made his FIRST excuses and gradually
increased their protest until the presl-
dent threatened to have the press gal
lery cleared. Tue reporters held a hasty
consultation. Their rose and left the
House in a body. The editors and dlrec-
tors of the whole Madrid press met an
boor later. Many Of them are Deputies
or Senators and they lef' their seats
ia the Cortes to attend the meeting.
The speakers criticised severely the IN
action of the government duriog the
riot. Some of the speeches were SO bit
ter that no reports of them can be pub
lished.
The governments failure to interfere
with the rioting officers was not due.
however, entirely to dissemination to
act. The ministers and local officials
could couut cnly upon the police to
execute their orders, as the civil guard
refused to proceed against the officers.
The city has been in a ferment of eS-
citement all day. Crowds filled the
st: cefs aud places of pu6Ilc resort Such
q couAict between the army and the
civilians has BOT been known before
since the Restoration. The progress of
events is watched with the keenest IN
terest from the palace. The Queen Re
gent was greatly affected by the reports
of Yesterdays disorder. She conferred
repeatedly with Geo Campos and Sa-
gasta.
