This state of affairs, which was brought abruptly to head last Saturday by a partial quarrel be- tween General Gomez and Governor General Brooke, has been forming for the last two months. The first move has been made by the army It will probably be supported by many Cu- bans. The army, which is really rep resented by General Gomez, although many dispute his authority, is rartic- ulaTly bitter against General Brooke and his policy. The soldiers declare they have been miserably trapped and fooled by the Americans. They lock upon the exchange of guns for $75 as an ignominiolIs transaction for them, as they have mot been defeated by the Americans and consequently they re- fuse flo exchange. Some persons say che determination of the army net to surrender is the outcome of General Brooke's refusal to sanction General GOmez's plan for Cuban militia

CHURCH DISCIPLINE BILL.
House of Commons Defeats IL to Give inc Bishops Chance.

London, May 16-The debate on the church discipline bill in the house oi commons this afternoon attracted a crowded house and filled the public galleries to such an extent that scores of clergymen who wished to hear the discussion were unable to find room, MT. Charles McArthur, member for the Exchange Division of Liverpool, in moving the second reading Of the of the Church of England were in open revolt not only against the law of the church, but against the law Of the land. The lawlessness which threatened to rend the church asunder was the result of a movement called by different names, sometimes ''trac- tartan ritualism,' and sometimes ''sacerdotal rituaHsm,'' but which un- der all names was one and the same thing, it's object being to undo the work of the Reformation. Ore of the reasons why the Protestant laity had lost confidence in the bishops, he said, was because they had not only failed to put down ritualistic practices, but they had exercised their patronage in favor of the ritua'istic clergy. Instead of the bishops sitting in judgment upon these matters, they themselves should be caEed to account. They all knew the evils of tha confessional, 171d 4Io J,S IL mined that they would not have the confessional back in the church at any cost. THr. McArthur's speech was re- ceived with loud cheers.
 Sir John Kenway, Lord Hugh Cecil, Sir William Harcourt and Mr Ar thur J. Balfour also spoke, the latter making capital of what he termed Harcourt's gross and extraordinary historical errors''
 On the second reading the hll was defeated by a vote of 1856 against BIO.
 Sir R. B. Webster, attorney general, moved an amendment to the effect that the house, while not prepared to accept a measure which creates fresh offences and ignores the authority of the bishops in maintaining discipline in the church, is of the opinion that if the efforts now being made by the bishops and archtishops to secure the obedience of the clergy are not speed fly effectual further legislation will be required to maintain the existing laws of the church and the realm
 The amendment~was adopted with out division.
