During tbe encounter the attempt was
made to set fire to the town . Castro sat

Grey, in tbe commons today, said tbe

Mr. Grey, in reply to a question as te
whether tbe holders of United States se
curities mnst send a statement of tbelr
income to tbe American authorities before
April 15. said tbe American income Ui
law as it stood bad been already pub
lished. For details inquirers should
commumoate with the British consul at
New York.
He said m regard to tbe Nicarsguan
matter, tbat tbe government bad bad
communication with Nicaragua regarding
tbe expulsion of tbe British vice-consul
and other British subjects at Blueflelds
but until Nicaragua's reply was received
be thought it unfair to make public tbe
terms of England's note.

Washington, March 23 There is ab
solute authority for tbe statement, not
withstanding guarded denials, tbat Great
Britain's demand upon Nicaragua is of
such a character as to merit very grave
consideration on tbe part of the United
States. Birnos has brought a special
copy of the demand to Washington, and
it discloses tbe tact that the conditions
Imposed upon this feeble and impecu
nious republic are harab in tbe extreme.
Great Britain demands (75,000 "smart"
money, to be paid down within seven
weeks; tbat is to say before April 10 next,
for the affront to tbe British crown lm
plied in the alleged wrongful expulsion
of tbe British pro consul. Hatch, from
Biuefarlds. Next, Great Britain insists
tbat the claims of Hatch and other
British sobjects for damages shall be
submitted to a commission of three, one
to be appointed by Nicaragua, one by
Great Britain and a third to be selected
by them: but "not to be a citisen of any
American republic." Tbe United States'
interests in Nicaragua especially regard
ing the oroblem of the trans isthmian
canal, are so great that tbe presentation
ot excessive demands, followed perhaps
by security of territory as a guarantee of
payment has brought the United States
face to7ace with a complication which,
in connection with tbe Venezuelan
boundary question, assumes importance
of tbe first magnitude. Knowing that
Nicaragua can spare not one cent, it re
mains to be seen whether she can give
satisfactory asurncei of its future
payment. Little doubt is expressed tbst
Great Britain will seize something, and
by tbe Clayton Bnlwer treaty tbe United
States will have a right to know in ad
vance jnst what Great Bntam proposes
to do. Discussing the matter, a leading'
official said.
"Great Britain's exolusion of tbe
United States from participating in the
proposed Nicaraguan arbitration is a
distinct recognition of tbe identity of
Nicaragua and the United States, and of
tbe United States oa tbis continent, as
well as a confession of Great Britain's
weakness among tbe American republics.

Port Louis, Island Mauritius, March
23-John L Waller, formerly - United
States consul at Tamatave, Island Mada
gascar, has been round guilty oi
corresponding with Hovas after trial by
French court-martial, and sentenced to
20 years' imprisonment.
On April 20, 1894, Mr. Waller secured
a concession from the Hova government
of the whole southern part of tbe Island
of Madagascar, in spite of the repeated
protests of tbe French resident and French
colonists generally. According to tbe
French tbe pioneer colonists of all
nationalities engaged in India rubber
trade considered their Tested interests
bad been injured by tbs concession to
Waller. , France hitherto has claimed a
protectorate over tbe Island of Msdsgss
car, and Great Britain has recognized it,
but tbe native government or Madagas
car-repudiates tbe French claim to the
protectorate, and France is now sending
to Madagascar a large expedition to sub
due tbe Hovas.
Early in Jane last tbe New York World
pnblisbed a letter from E Underwood
Harvey, editor of tbe Madagascar iTsies,
saying: "It is time for the great Ameri
can government to put its foot down and
say American enterprise in tnis country
shall ne longer be trampled upon by the
Frenoh."
Tbis was tbe result ef the action of
representatives of France in Madagascar
in denying tbe Malagasy government tbe
ricbt wltbont flrst obtaining tne sanction
of tbe Frenoh resident general.

Washington, March 25 Tbe United
States supreme court today began hear
ing arguments In the case ef Eugens T
Deb, president of tbe American Rail
way Union, and others. Counsel for de
fendants are Lyman Trumbull, S 8
Gregory and R S Darrow. Attorney
General Olney and Edwin Walker,
speclel United States attorney, appeared
for tbe government.
Debs snd bis associates ssked for a
writ of habeas corpus relieving them from
tbe sentence ot imprisonment passed
upon them by Judge Woods,
The fact waa developed tbat the main
contention of tbe petitioners would be
tbat the ongioel bill stated no ease
cognisable in chancery, and therefore tbe
In i unction was void, and the persons at
whom it was aimed were not bound to
observe it. In support of this propo
sition tbey asserted tbat without statutory
authority from congress, tbe government
oould maintain no such bill, and no snob
authority could be found nnless it be in
tbe ant of 1890, known as tbe Sherman
an ti-trust act, but tbey contended tbis
not was unconstitutional because of
involving proceedings la chancery, and
in snob a cue it deprived tbe defendants
on trial nader tbe penal statute of ths
ngbt of trial by jury, contrary te tbe
sixth amendment of tbe constitution.

New York capitalist, who arrived here
tonight from Cuba, Ha said: "If the min
istry in Spain neglects reforms in Cuba, I
believe this rebellion will become serious.
Many citizens who are now neutral will
become active as soon as tbey realize
that there is no bope of reforms from
Spaltf . The Spanish officers and soldiers
now in the field seem very indifferent
with one or two exceptions, notably
General Garrish and Colonel Santocllde.
"There is practically no enthusiasm
among tbe Spanish troops, wbile the in
surgents are full ot it If Spain does not
handle tbe insurrection with a firm band
at once I do not believe it will be possible
for her to conquer It. She la preparing
to send a great many soldiers, but they
will fall easy victims to yellow fever just
as soon as tbe rainy season begins,
"There Is ne donbt bnt the insurgents
will receive large reinforcements. - Their
numbers sre growing constsntly now,
and I should say tbst tbey bave about
6000 men In the field from tha Canto
river to the east of tbe island. All work
is stopped by the war in tbis section.
The insurgents seem to be concentrating
in the vicinity of Jignani, or Baire, but
for what purpose I : could not learn.
Tbey are nslng great diplomacy and are
winning favor thereby. Tbey are not
