A DUEL between Gen. Moeenni, ex- { minister of war, and Signor Barzilais, ; a radical member of the Italian cham- i ter of deputies, growing out of a-! wrangle, on the 22d, during the discussion of the credits asked for by the government, took place on the 22d. The weapons used were sabers. Gen. Moeenni proved himself the better swordsman, and wounded his opponent in the face. Honor being thus satisfied, the duellists became reconciled. The revolution in Nicaragua, according to intelligence received, on the 22d, through private channels, is more serious than previous dispatches from that country would indicate, the strict press censorship established by President •Zelaya, rendering it impossible for news of any character except what is favorable to the government, from j being made public.

C., on the 13th, for Tampa, Fla., with a cargo of arms and ammunition, returned, on the 33d. minus her cargo and 23 of her crew of . 31 men, which had undoubtedly been transferred to some larger vessel i bound to Cuba in the interest of the insurgents.

GERMANY’S ASSENT fo Eoeland'll Expedition Against the Soudanese »IMMfre«4il>l«Surprlft«. to Franc* —Germany’* Newly-Formet! and Heart!. ly-Expresaad Friendship for EnglandFranco Has No Ground for Objection la the Hatter. Berlin, March 23.—The official announcement that Germany had given her assept to England's drawing ok the Egyptian reserve fund to defray the cost of the British expedition up | the Nile valley, which was published i in the North German Gazette, was i worded in such a manner as to convey | the impression that.Germany's assent i was not given to conserve English, inj terests, but rather for the sake of upI holding the interests of the. allies of Germany included in the dreibund, | especially those of Italy. Two ar* i tides on the subject, which were | subsequently published in the Gazette j were a great deal more cordial toward England, and the intention seems tc i have been to dispel all traces of the recent German irritation toward England; to defend the Dongola expedition as an inevitable and indispensable movement, and to predict the ultimate recognition by Europe of the value of the operations of the expedition in controlling the destructive power of the dervishes. Other inspired journals arc now taking the same view. The National Zeitung denies the contention that France can : possibly create international trouble 1 because of the fact that Egyptian troops are seeking to reoccupy Egyptian territory. As late as 1894, during the dispute | over the Congo agreement, the Zeitung | says the French gpyerament mainj tuiued that the Soudan provinces were ! legally Egyptian territory, although : they were iu the hands of barbarians. The Tageblatt holds that the evacu- ; ation of Egypt by the British is En- : gland's affair and the. Kreuz Zeitung | says that France cannot oppose a puni1 tive expedition against Soudanese | malefactors.

a ut vviu^uc ; uu auuc m au ai uv tc ! obviously inspired by tin; foreign office, e xtends that the Dongola expedition is absolutely imperative. "The union of dervish forces, wltieh are now divided by the Egyptian advance,” it says, "might have the effect to drive the Italians out of Kassala and so strengthen Abyssinia against i Italy and ultimately enable France and Russia, who are now' lurking in the background to determine the fate * of Khartoum and the whole region of the Upper Nile.” The key to all this sudden display of good will toward England is unquestionably Germany’s sympathy with Italy. If the battle of Adowa, fought on March 1, in which the Italians were dis~ trously defeated had not occurred, Germany would not have countenanced the expedition up the valley of the Nile and probably would have sided, with France and Russia to ; prevent it. A curious incident connected with I the situation has arisen from the overtures which were made by France with | the object of“ ascertaining Germany's i intentions with regard to the expedi- | lion. The communications from the ! French foreign office, which passed through the hands of M. Herbette. ■ French ambassador to Germany, were i couched in language which indicated | expectation that Germany would join i the French protest against England's ! action. It consequently must have been a very unpleasant surprise to M. Uerthelot, the French foreign min1 ister, to learn that the assent of Germany had already been sent to London i and to Cairo, and thea fact must certainly have caused the French government to surmise that the emperor knew mpre, and at an earlier date, of the designs of Great Britain than i could have been obtained through the ordinary diplomatic channels. It is now conceded on all sides that | M. Herbette must be recalled by hi* government and very speedily, too. A THIN STORY | Invented to Cover n Successful Transfer of Men and Arms for Cuba.
