A Central News telegram from Madrid says -The "Imparcial" publishes a telegram from Havannah stating that the insurgent.s have made a fresh attack on Carey, destroying, in the course of their march, the railway bridges between Cristo and San Siu. A body of men is reported to hav2 embarked near Santiago, and their sus- picious movements have created the impression that the old rebel leader Ballazo is about to arrive. A Central News telegram from Santiago (Cuba) pays In the fight which followed the rebel capture of the village of Gristos on Tues- day the insurgents lost ten men killed and a hundred wounded- i A SPANISH REVERSE.

JABEZ IN THE DOCK.
JABEZ IN THE DOCK. LIBERATOR INVESTOR GETS BEAR AND HAS TO BE WARNED. During the proceedings the police on duty at Bow-street had to deal with several Liberator investors who became somewhat demonstrative in their demeanour. One gentleman, who rtated that he came from Glasgow, and had lost 93,000, had to be cautioned by the police owing to the heated language he was using with regard to the prisoner. After gaining admission to the court he made frequent remarks, and was threatened by the officer in charge of the door with removal. Just before the adjournment it was noticed that the dis- tressed investor had made his way to the back of the dock, where J a lie z was standing, and the attention of a police-constable having been drawn to the fact, the officer stationed himself close by to prevent any possible scene. In the end the prisoner was removed without any untoward incident. AN ANNIVERSARY. It was exactly 'twelve years ago on Thursday, on May 9, 1883, that Jabez Spencer Balfour drove in a carriage and pair to East Croydon Station in his capacity as mayor-elect of the newly-created borough of Croydon, to officially receive the charter of the incorporation of the borough. Balfour, who was then at the height of his popularity in Croydon, was elected as the first mayor of the borough a month later. OR his visit to the station he was accompanied by some hundreds of people, prominent among them being the gentleman who is now known as "the convict Hobbs," who was then very j intimately associated with the various com- fj paiiies of the Balfour group. THE CONVICT HOBBS. The convict Hobbs is still in prison. Since his removal from Dover he has been an inmate of Borstal Penal Establishment, near Rochester. His health has improved, so that there is no likelihood of his being released on medical grounds. Hobbs, with Wright and Newman, is expected to be called as a witness at the pending trial.

JUDICIAL IGNORANCE.
JUDICIAL IGNORANCE. JUDGE HAWKINS HAS TO HAVE A PHRASE EXPLAINED. It is not long since Mr. Justice Hawkins startled the world by asking counsel, "vVhat is an oof-bird?" The other uay he made a similar exhibition of judicial nescience in the course of the hearing of a Lancashire slander case at Manchester Assizes. Mr. Shee, Q.C., had extracted from a witness the statement that when asked to apologise, the defendant replied, "Will 1 h-- as like!" "What is that?" asked the judge. "He said 'Will I li as like1.' replied Mr. Shea. "And wl^at does that. mean?" queried the judge, blandly. "It is equal to saving in the South, I'll be d d if I do, replied Mr. STiee; and the court- house rang with loud laughter. His lordship, however, kept a very straight face until the merriment had subsided, and then he re narked in measured accents, "I prefer the Southern expression."

Agreed to Die Together
-?-?- Agreed to Die Together MAN TELLS THE POLICE A STRANGE STORY. Agreed to Take a. Fatal Plunge with his Mistress then She Pleaded for Another Way to Death. A Dalziol's telegram from Paris says —A young man, about 25 years of age, ran into the police-station at Meaux on Thursday even- ing, but was 1U so excited a condition that it was as much as the officers could do to under- stand him. By degrees they obtained the details of a singular story of depravity, vice, and crime. The young man, who gave his name as Ruffet, said for the last three months he bad lived in a residence in Paris with a young won:an named Oarriat, who was living with the gentleman as his wife. On Tuesday Oarriat and Ruffet resolved to commit suicide together. With that intention they went to Meaux 011 Thursday to drown themselves in the canal. They wandered about the town all day, and at night time turned towards the water. On arriving at the bank of the canal they bound themselves firmly together, em- braced one another, and were just about to take a. final plunge when the girl had an attack of hysterics. Ruffet loosed the ties that boiuid him to the girl, in order that he might help her to regain consciousness. She then trembled and seemed frightened of the water, and begged him to cut her throat instead of drowning her. This h0 did, but when he saw blood flowing from the wound and heard the rattling in her throat ag she tried to bid him good-bye, he became frightened, and, aban- doning his mistress, he ran away as fast as his legs could carry him until he saw the police- station. Then he decided to give himself up, and make a full confession of what he had done. Having heard his story, the officers hastened to the canal-side, and found the girl h ing- in a. pool of blood. She was at once rcn oved to hospital, where it is thought she may recover.

(Opposition eneers.) The SPEAKER: That is hardly a. point of order, but there can be no objection to stating what, must be obvious to every member. There is a very high duty, of course, imposed upon every member not to introduce within the walls of the House any person whom he had reason to believe is likely to be guilty of dis- orderly conduct. (Cheers.) RAILWAY RATE8- Mr. JEFFREYS (C., Hants, Basingstoke) as-ked the President- of the Board of Trade whether he had received a copy of the resolution passed lately, by the Central etiamlx-r of Agriculture with reference to the uncertainty ot the law as to the preferential rates on foreign produce'charged by English r»d,va-r companies, and whether he would introduce a. Bill to define tht law on the subject. and to givti powers to the Board of Trade to carry the law into effect. lution referred to, but 11e could not lubion referared to, but lie wuld not promise, to introduce a 15,111 on the subject, as he1 was not prepared to admit that the law on the subject was uncertain.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER: I am not able to sav. Sir D. MACFARLANE <L., Argyll) asked whether the right lion, gentleman was aware of the strong feeling which existed on the part of Scotch members tha.t if there was any further delay with the motion for setting up the Committee to which the Crofters Bill was to be referred Scotch members might have to re-consider their action in the support they gave to her Majesty's Government. The CHANCELLOR of theEXCH EQUER: My only answer to that is:. It is entirely open to the hon. memher and his friends to re-con- sider their position with reference to her Majesty's Government. (Laughter.) Dr. M'GREGOR (L., I"vernesshire): Are we to understand that this means that the right hon. gentleman is showing the white feather to the Opposition? (Laughter.) No answer was given.

A HEAVY FAILURE.
A HEAVY FAILURE. IRON MERCHANT'S CREDITORS MEET IN LONDON TO-DAY. At the London Bankrupf^y-eourt on Friday the first meeting was field of the creditors under the failure of H. B. F. Borner. iron and iron ore merchant, of 63, Rill iter-buildings, E.C., trading as H. Borner and Co. The gross debts are £ 167.0(50- and the assets £ 63,000. Tlie debtor, who is interested in several com pa-nits, states that last year his balanct-sheet showed a surplus of £ 120,000. He attributes his failure to inability to realise his interests in the above concerns.—A committee was appointed for one month, with the proviso that if a scheme is not then forthcoming the estate will be wound up in bankruptcy".

At t.he resumed meeting of the Iron and Steel Institute., in London 011 Iriday, the forenoon was occupied in the discussion of a paper read by Mr. John Edward Stead, of Middles borough, the subject being "The Lffeet of Arsenic on Steel.' The conclusion generally accepted by ir embers was that arsenic has not that injurious effect which has been justly held to result from the presence of phosphorous. To this Sir Henry Bessemer expressed assent.

ITURF TALK.
?-- --?- ITURF TALK. Pithy Pars for Sporting Readers GOSSIP OF TO-DAL'S EVENTS At this period of the year it, is almost super- fluous to anticipate success for a meeting of the calibre and popularity of Kempton, but it seems very likely that previous records in con- nection with the spring gathering will be broken this week. Tiie park at Sunbury just HoW looks charming, and the clerk of the weather having worked harmoniously with the clerk of the course for some time past, the last-named olhcial, together with Mr. S. H. Hyde, the manager, has been enabled to bring his prepara- tions for visitors to a surprising pitch of com- pleteness. The racing will thus be witnessed under she most agreeable conditions, and the quality of the sport will not fall short of the Kempton standard. The card for both days is of the most attractive character. This after- noon the Royal Two Year Old Plate is the leading feature, and it cannot but provide a contest of much interest. Sport begins at two o'clock. Tom Loate6 will ride El Diablo in the Jubilee Stakes. When is Bradford going to ride another winner Y Captain Machell never lets his horses run loose, but he only had a trifle on Kilsallaglian for the Chester Cup. In his trial on Monday Ravenebury smothered KilsaIIaghan. Writing upon the Jubilee Stakes "Vigilant" says:—So satisfactory was Ravensbury's trial on Monday (his chance looks better than ever after the Kilsallaglian business) that the Bedford Cottage stable will not send a third representative. Ravensbury became favourite .for money in London at 100 to 15 after the news of Kil- sallaghan's Chester victory came to hand, and I look to Kavensbury and Grey Leg to supply the trump card. Three cross country jockeys, recently seriously injured while following their hazar- dous profession, formed an interesting group in the paddock at Chester. Each had an arm in sling, and while condoling with each other described, in picturesque language, the accident which disced »lnn.. The trio were Will Daniels, who steered Gamecock to victory in the Grand National; Alf Bickley. son of Mr. Joe BiciUy, trainer; and Mr. à. J. Neill, owner of High Priest, Lady Adeline, &c. Quilon, the last horse in the Cluster C' p, finished nearly a quarter of a mile behind the winner. Apropos of the fAieeoss of Kirkconnel, the "Man of the World" savs:—"The most tre- mendous breeding establishment that ever was known is at Childwick. The proti s must be tremendous. Apart from the home stud and the stallions at high fees, there are a couple of hundred mares there at 25s. per week. Every ah'Jling over 12s. 6d. per week, with hay and oats at their present price, is dead profit. I would almost as soon own Sir John's breeding establishment as I would the furniture depart- ment, and that, I am told, is worth over R60,000 a yeii.r." At Newmarket on Thursday T. Chaloner's Ruwenzori beat Belle Dame and Tyrannical at five furlongs. Won by a length; a bad third. Swan tried Crusade to beat Crathie and Cere- mony colt over a live furlong course. Won easily by two lengths; three lengths divided the second and third. j Within a month the Manchester Whitsun- tide Meeting of 1895 will be a thing of the past, and the proximity of the meeting is brought hone to us by the appearance in the official broadsheet, of weights for the Man- chester Cup, the acceptances for which will be published on Thursday next. Ravensbury, by his victory over the course last November, earned his positior as top weight, and at 9st 12111 he would appear to be well looked after. He has only however, to e°i cede 41b to Thros- tle, while Reminder's gallant_show in the City and Suburban has brought him up to 9st 31b. Nev.court has 8st 121b, and the American Don Alonzo 8st 111b.. Among these who have done well ever the course the following de- serve attention, viz.—Sliancrotha, 8st lllb; Red Ensign, 7st lClb; Goldon Drop, 7st ^lb; Progression, 7st 31b; and Faddy, 6st 13ib. A sporting paper lately stated that the Duke of Westminster had presented a 'monkey" to the Chester Infirmary. A religious journal took the paragraph very seriously, and, in com- menting on the presentation, suggested that the monkey was "for the children to play wTith' Ravensbury on Thursday left off a firm favourite in town for tilie Kempton Park Jubilee, 6 to 1 being accepted. Grey Leg and El Diablo each stood at 8 to 1, and 100 to 12 was booked to Stowiilarket. For the Derby on Thursday in town Kirk- connel was an easy favourite at 9 to 2, and his stable companion, The Owl. figured at 50 to 1. Double the latter odds were booked to Oleander after he had triumphed in the Dee Stakes at Chester. George Barrett, the jockey, who has been ful- filling an engagement, in xuistria, is again back at ISewniarket, and rode Marco at work on Thursday morning. After Weldon had returned to the paddock before the Earl of Chester's belter Handicap at Chester OIl Thursday to replace a broken stirrup leather, his mount got away with the lead and was never headed. It will be interesting, seeing that to the winner of the Chester Cup all Thursday was given a prize cheese, to note other curious prizes that have been offered in connection wi;h horeeraciug. Mr. George Baker, of Elemore Hall, once gave a piece of plate to be run for at Newcastle which took the form of a coal wagon. William IV. once offered a hoof of Eclipse set in gold to form for a time one of the attractions of the Ascot- programme. Port and claret have also had their share in prizes, and Mrs. Thornton is recorded to have had the mount on a horse that walked over at York in 1805 for a match of 2,000 truinea-, four hogs- heads of Coti Roti. and 600 guineas p. p. Iv, by the rider. In 1878 Lord Rosebery's Touchet beat Sir F Johnstone's Posthaste in a match for J3500 and a hogshead of claret. An extraordinary business was transacted in the Postal Telegraph Department at Chester meeting on the Cup Day, the total number of messages despatched being about 10.000. The press work was a'so an important feature, as no fewer than 40.000 words were signalled for publication in the different newspapers :n a satisfactory manner by the large and efficient staff under Mr. T. Mason. Mr. Enfield Tavlor. the managing director, provided pneumatic tubes from the grand stand to the instrument room. which greatly facilitated the disposal of the work. We understand that Tattersall's enclo- sure and the instrument-room will be connected in a similar manner before the next meeting comes round. °

With the football season over, a number tJf the Newport kickers, past and present, have been going in thick for hockey of late. A drawn game between Newport and Lieutenant tirepe's team has given zest to the game, and it is ex- pected that it will be kept up in lieu of football The report of th, committee of the Amateur Swimming Association states that they are in favour of the formation of a. Welsh A.S.A. at the earliest moment practicable, and the hon. secretary was asked to inquire into and agitate the question. In the report on Wales, the association say:—Very great inteiest was aroused throughout the Principality by the sug- gested formation of an association, and several enthusiasts were found thereby. Everyone apparently agreed as to desirability, but, based on the replies sent in, the committee resolved, to recommend 1. That, owing to lack of bath- ing accommodation and scarcity of clubs, the time has not yet arrived for the inauguKTtion of a Welsh A.S.A. 2. That, for the purpose* of swimming. Monmouth shall be considered a Welsh county. The Neath Homilig Society will have their first "fly" on Saturday, when about 50 birds wiU be released at Ludlow—distant from Neath about 64 miles. In all probability the society will have a very successful season. There are a large number of members, hailing from Glyn- Neath, Resolven, Briton Ferry. Aberavon, and Neath. The present thick weather is not suit- able for training purposes, and it is not antici- pated that the birds will get home much inside two hours. Some pigeons, belonging to Air. F. II. Pari.^h, were released at Brecon a few days ago, and reached Neath within the hour, which is considered good flying. Several valuable birds have been given by breeders as prizes for Saturday's tly. Birds belonging to the following gentlemen will take part: — M cssrs. W. H. David (president), F. H. Parish (treasurer), and John Owen, Neath; Messrs. Morris and Calderwood, Aberavon aaid Messrs. Holliek, Davies, and Nelson, Glyn-Neath. Mr. James Harcom has been appointed liberator for Neath and district. The County Ground Company at Bristol have made such prohibitive charges for the use of the Ashley Hill track, &c., that the Bristol Bicycle and Tricycle Club have arianged to hold their annual sports at the Bedminster Cricket Ground, Bristol.

Mr. ASQUITH: The tithe rent-charges, faU-' ing under the provisions of the Welsh Church Bill, continue to be payable half-yearly, on the 1st of January and the 1st of July. They will be payable to and collected, not by Government officials, but by the county council, who will be re sponsible for handing over to the Welsh Com- missioners such amounts us will be required t,7 satisfy vested interests. There is nothing in the Bill to require the county council to exceed the proper payment or to prevent them making iebote. If the amount received by them is no" sufficient to meet the requirement* of the Com- missioners and the satisfaction of the vested interests, the deficiency will have to be made ur f 1 cm the county funds.
