TRH CUBAN REFUGEES.  A correapondent writes I am able to state that General Macro has given the following description of his transfer from Ceuta to Pamplona "On Ittar,h 3 I wee taken from Enlace, at Fort Ceuta, pla.ad along with my family on the war vesael Vulcan°, and landed at Cadiz, from which place I telegraphed to my friends, asking them to beg for an interview with the Minister for the Colonies, and intercede for me, so that I might. be_. permitted .to remain on parole in  Madrid. From Cadi4 I was taken to the capital by train, and at the Madrid Station I ached to be allowed to see the Minister for the Colonieq, and also to leave my mite and family in Madrid, but the officer of the Civil Guard who escorted as declared that his orders were to the effect that she, too, must proceed to Pamplona, so we came on here together. We are confined to the room In the fortress, and guarded by four sentinels. The commander of the fortress, on my application for 8,:,n,A Alleviation or allowancee, informed me I was a az,,d not a political captive. Since leaving c,ou• 'bar. not w,eived the $9 a month (about 3 which all the other Cubed exiles ate allowed by the Madrid Government. My wife and child hive not receive I their allowance since Dec. and we ate poor." Mame goes on to say that he begs to be released Me parole, and that he cannot understand why beak aid he worse trete,' than the other exiles. Ile add. that in Chafarinas Island, where he nes detained until August last, he was allowed to move freely about, like any of the nuttier°. other Cabana exiled to that place, and when he escaped from Cadline to Gibraltar, in augo.t, he was' at his own request, going to Ceuta as a simple exile, to live freely in that fortified town. General Maceo complains of the climate of hie present place of confinement. and of the rigour of his keepers. The Madrid Government, on h aring of Ms complaint about money matters, o-d,red the Governor of Pamplona to give him the usual $9 allowance per month.  THE Scotch Medical Bill, the second reading of which will take place in the House of Lords after the Easter holidays, has proved to be less at variance with the views of the Scotch medical authorities than was at one time anticipated. It is expected, however, that the bill will be conaiderably amended in committee. ONLY sixty-four members have at present been put on each of the Standing Commitmee. The Committee of Selection have power to nominate any number between sixty and eighty; and it is probable that when certain bills are referred to, these committees, some twelve or fifteen members having special knowledge of the subjects to be droll with, triil be added to each of the Standing Committees.  A narcaruraina act of suicide was recently witnessed by a boy at Worcester. Whilst ...oiling on the race-course he observed a well-dressed woman on the bank f the Severn deliberately walk into the river, where she struggled for a few moments, and then sank. Information was given to the police, and the body was recovered. It turned out that Ate was a single woman named hemming, who had had a judgment summons out against her in the county-court for a small debt, and, being in fear of arrest, she had been driven to commit the rash act.  A Onnote of the Kingston Cotton Mills, Stock; o t, owned by Mesqrs. Nicholls, Lucas, and Co., fell re.ently with at. rrible crash, burying seven men in the r mill was in process of reconqiuction. Four of t rescued were more or less injured, and (sten to the infirmary. A large gang of men were set at.work remus lug the dcbria.
