Every one of the eight parties in Germany is putting forth its full strength in view of the coming election to the Reichstag next month. A revolution is in progress in Nfcaraugiia, and the revolutionists are gaining ground rapidly. Apparently the present Government will be overthrown. The German Reichstag has been dissolved by order of the Emperor, and new elections ordered, because it defeated the army bill by an overwhelming vote. The Infanta Eulalia and her husband attended a grand military review at Havana, Saturday afternoon, and in the evening went to a ball at the Casino Espagnol. Charles de Lesseps, one of the convicted managers of the Panama Canal Company, is suffering from acute dyspepsia and has been transferred from his Paris prison to a hospital.

This event has long been looked forward to with great interest, particularly as it was assumed the emperor would have something to say about the recent defeat of the army bill and the present electoral campaign. The emperor did not disappoint his distinguished audience, for. in his speech, he said, speaking with great solemnity: This festivity is in the midst of serious times. Eleven years ago my grandfather addressed you tne most important words. Now we must maintain what William I said, and secure the future of our fatherland Our army requires increasing and remodeling. I have summoned the nation to provide the necessary meahs. All other questions are inferior to this, the most serious question, one upon which depends the very existence of the fatherland. And we need absolute unity in order to solve the question. Whatever separates us as Germans must now be put ~ aside because it imperils the future of the fatherland.
