Cubans have murdered several Spaniards
near Barajagua, and mentions cases of the
persecution of Spaniards at Calabazas,

Rough Riders Who Participated in the
Bluefelds Revolution.

New Orleans, March 8.-The steamship
Condor arrived tonight from Bluefields with
forty-one passengers aboard, mostly the
Americans composing the body known as
Rough Riders with Captain ]. C. Kennedy
in command.
They tell the story of the revolution
which failed. They had been sent to attack
Greytown, marching overland, and the San
Jacinto, the gunboat which the revolution
lists seized, kept close to the shore, was to
supply them with rations and aid in the
attack. When they got half way they ran
into another gunboat, which Nicaragua had
borrowed from Honduras. The San Jacinto
could have sunk the enemy, but turned tail
and fed. The Honduran gave pursuit, but
when she got close enough to use her sta
tionary gun the San Jacinto ran up the
white flag. Her captain made terms for the
soldiers as well, and then both boats
steamed up and made known the fact that
the revolution was over and Reyes had fed.
They went back to Bluefields and found
the revolution really over. Eleven Ameri-
cans had led a victory at Rama, but after
that were deserted by the natives, and also
compellad to ratarn - 1lnafalds. Reyes

SEARCHED THE SOLDIERS.
Policemen Forced Troops to Give Up
Their Arms.

Nashville, Tenn, March S.-About 500 OF
the Eighth immunes. mustered out in
Chattanooga, reached here just before mid
night last night. Fifty police and detect
ives were at the station to preserve order.
The sergeant who had shot two people at
Chattanooga was searched for, but not
found. The police used their clubs freely
in forcing the negroes to give up their pis-
tolls and remain in the cars, but there
was no firing. Police were refused admit
tance to one car by armed negroes at the
door. They forced their way in, demanded
all weapons and in this car there was
much clubbing, some negroes being badly
beaten.
The chief causes Of the trouble were the
refusal to remain in the cars, to give up
pistols and using insulting language to the
police When the second section passed
there was no trouble. Captain Gus w.
Fahlbush, regular in charge of one COM
pany, was forced to surrender his pistol.

TALK OF WAR
Between France and Germany in the
Chamber of Deputies.

Paris, March S.-In the chamber of depu
ties today the debate on the army budget
led to the usual references to the necessity
for preparedness against Germany, and to
comparisons of the two armies. The MEM
bers of the house. while complaining of the
budget, which aggregates S75 100000 francs.
admitted the impossibility of retrenching in
the face of the necessity of meeting Ger
man increases by corresponding additions.
The minister of war, NJ. Defreycinet, ad-
mitted that the French effective was in
ferior to the German; but he pointed out
that it was impossible to remedy, ow-
ing to the lack of popular opinion. The
ministers also expressed the -belief that
mere numbers, above certain point, did
not add to the effectiveness of the army,
as the excess beyond that point could only
act as reserves, and he was convinced that
the fate OF a conflict would be decided be-
fore the reserves, could be employed. 1t Is
not necessary, therefore. the minister said,
to be alarmed about neighboring increases.
France must meet quantity by quality. The
rifles and guns of the French army were
without their equals; and the country,
might await the future with confidence.
