ing will be left to Admiral Sicard, as
the present orders are restricted to de-
taching them from the squadron at the
most available moment.
Up 10 last night the official advices
were to the effect that the Spanish fo-
tilla had not left the Canaries, where a
stop was made to await the arrival OF q
Spanish cruiser. Persons acquainted
with the facts say that the stop at the
Canaries is only temporary, and that
there is no purpose on the part of the
Spanish government to turn back the
torpedo boats because of the removal Of
the Texas and Massachusetts from Key
West. On the contrary the purpose as
made known in Washington is that the
torpedo tlotilla will continue its trip to
Cuba.

Chinese CnnsnirncY.

LONDON, March IA special from
Shanghai says conspiracy, with the
object of bringing about rebellion, has
been started by Chinese officials at
Chang-Sha, in the province of Human.
1t is said to have spread to all the prov
inces bordering on the Yapk- Tse. Kiang,
and fears are expressed that it may
prove to be the most formidable since
the TAPPING rebellion.
1t is professedly patriotic move
ment to overthrow the Manchu dynasty
and save the central provinces from
European control. But, it is suspected
that the plot emanates from the Man
darins, who are alarmed at the prospect
of diversion of part of their pickings
to pay the interest on the new loan.
The Pekin authorities are cognizant
OF the movement; but, distrusting the
loyalty Of the provincial satraps, they
are helpless. The conspirators are said
to have approached British subjects
with inducements to join in the rebel
lion, and they have also offered large
sums Of money for arms.

The residents of this place are now keep

avenue that is said to be haunted. Five
years ago John Diehl committed sui
eide in the dwelling by hanging him
self from one of the rafters. A number
of families have occupied the house
since, but none of them remained long
as tenants. John Fatz was the last per-
son to rent the dwelling, and his fami-
ly occupied it last night. About 2
o'clock this morning the family was
awakened by strange noises in both
the cellar and the garnet, and the ap.

terror in their night clothes to the home
of Joseph Brown, on Cincinnati avenue,

A SOLDIERS HOME TO BE SOLD
The Soldiers Home for Confederate
Veterans built at Atlanta several years
ago by popular subscription is TO be
sold on Tuesday next at public outcry
to the highest bidder. The home was
built at cost of about 100000 and is
magnificent building, with all modern
conveniences and appliances. 1t is sit
uated on n tract of land containing 119
acres on the outskirts of Atlanta. When
the home was completed an j many old
soldiers were rejoicing that they would
have comfortable place to spend the
remainder of their days, the legislature
refused to accept it on the condition
that the State maintain it. Since then
the home has been for sale and several
times it was thought it would be sold,
but price could never be agreed on.
For several years the commissioners
have out of their own pockets paid the
insurance on the building and also paid
the salary of the walchmau, there be-
ing no fund on hand for that purpose.
Instead Of having q home, Georgia pen
sions her disabled Confederate Veterans.
