Blowitz , the Times cor respondent at I'-mi , in n letter ntUsks .Bis- marok for indiscretion In hs ! dealings with the British foreign ollico concerning the South Pacific islands. In the biuo book on this nub- jcct , Issued by the British government on 1'ebruary 25 , there is given a conversation early In February between Bismarck and Malet , the liritieh ninbiasador at Berlin. The German chancellor than road & dispatch which ho said ho had sent to Count Muustcr , the German ambassador at London , on the Cth of the preceding May , which purported to convey to Bngland Bismarck's idea how Great Britain could assist Germany in her colonization schemes , and hia promlso to ro- clprocato by helping English interoita nearer homo. The dispatch urged Kngland to fall in with the suggestions made , bocauie In the event of n refusal Germany would bo compelled to ask 1'rench aid. The chancellor told Malet that , ns Count Munster scemod to make no prog ress , it was feared in Berlin that ho had not fltatud the points in the dispatch with sufli- cient strength , to the Count Herbert Bis marck \vos sent to London to assure the suc cess of the negotiations. Herbert obtained from the British foreign oflico nothing but general assurances of friendship. These were valueless , Bismarck said , when RIalct ex pressed regret at the situation. Ho assured Bismarck that Kngland had no desire to thwart Germany's colonial ambitipno.aml asked him what ho wanted , Now Guinea or Xulu- land , The chancellor replied that it was now too late to discuss the matter with England , became Germany already had an understand ing with Franco. IILOWIT ACCUSES IIIBSIAKCK 01' DII1KCT FALSE HOOD in in those statements. ( lo refers to the fact that Bismarck toad the original dispatch to Malot tv3 a proof it was never teat to London. Bismarck , Btonotz says , proceeded as if thin dispatch had been tout to London to form'the basis of an alliancu between JCnghind and Ger many concerning colonial annexations : as if its rejection by 1'nglatd had been formally and deliberately made ; as if this rejection were the endorsement by England , or German- French alliance , and gave Germa ny certain liberty in the south Pacific , and then when asked for explanations about his encroachments on British poanea- felons , produced as his warrant the original despatch. Tim production , Blowitz avers , was made nine month ) after the date of the deopatcb , and just when it suited Bismsrck'a purpose. The Introduction of this system , fiays Blowitz , must create a panic in the po litical world , . With such suppressed despatches the strong power can do as it likes , .and turn might into right anytim9so abolish- 'ng international law. To prove the assertion that the despatch read to Malet was never cent to London , Blow itz points to the fact that Granville , the British foreign minister , February 7 , im mediately after Sir J'Mwnrd Malet had com municated to him the Bismarck Invitation , wrote to Sir Edward : The dispatch in ques tion was nover.conimunlcated to me. Dr. Blowitz contends that it was impossible fur the dispatch to have miscarried or been forgotten , because Count Munster would ha\o resigned if ho know that Lord Granville had BOOH the ells paten before making such a statement , whi o if Count Munster had rually received the despitch and failed to transmit it 10 the British foreign minister , Bismarck would have recalled Minister for neglect of dity. The fact tbdt Herbert Bismarck , who , the German chauca'lor alleges , was Bent to London to second Munster in his efforts tote to secure colonial adxico with England , failed to discover the very despatch which contained tin terms of his mission had never reached Granville , Dr. Blowitz pronounces very strange. Ho declare * the truth is that Bismarck did not believe England would give Germany the assistance desired , lie know bettor how to succeed with Franco , behind the mission of hia son. Bismarck intended to havu the mlfslng dispatch uppoar at the proper time to put England in the wrong. Ho proposed amuser-le-tapis to confront England with an accomplished fact. 'VOIIKIGN NEWS.

[ Via Mackay.Bpnnott Cable to the Tribuno. ] Mr.Burloigb , thewar correspondent who was wounded at Abu- Klea , lias , under tha in.ipir.ition of hit hint , written to the Daily Telegraph a thrilling ac- countof the bittle , and in itoesur.s this des cription of Col , liurnaby'.s death , which must become historical : "Still down upon us the dark Arab wave rolled. It had arrived with three hundred yards , undlminlsned in volume , unbroken in strength a rmh of spjarmneu and swords men. Their rifle fire had ceased. Other Arab forces surrounding us The Mahdi's troops plundered , plundering Bedouin ? , and plliaglng villiagers from the riverside stood eager on the hillside watching the charge up on the British square. In wild excitement , their whlta teeth glistening and the sheen of their brandished weapons flashing like thousands of mirrors , on ward they camecharging straight into our ranks. I was at that instant inside the square and not far from tha Gardiner gun , whan I sw the left Hank move ome- what backward. Col. Burnaby himself , whoso every action at the time I baw , from a distance of about thirty yards , rode out in front of tha rear left face , apparently to assist two or th'ee ekirmishcro running in haid pressed. All but one man of them succeeded In reaching our lines. Col. Bnrnaby went forward to his assistance , sword in hand. As the dauntless colonel rode forward lie put himself in tbo way of a Sheik charging down on horseback , Eru the Arab closed with him bullet frum eomo ono in our ranks brought the Sheik he.idloag to the ground , nuiis'AUv'a FIGHT ran LIKE. "Tho enemy'a spearsmon v/ero close behind , and ono of them suddenly dashed at Col , Burnaby , pointing the long blade of his spear at his throat. Checking hia horse and pulling it backward , Burnaby leapt forward in his saddle and parried the Moslem's rapid and fe rocious thrusts , but the length of the man's weapon ei ht feet put it out of his power to return with interest the Arab's murderous In tent. Once or twice Col. Burnaby just touched his man , only to make him more wary and eager. The affray waa the work of seconds only , for the savage horde of swarthy negroes from Kordofan and straight- haired , tawnv-comple.Moned Arabs of the Bayuda Steppe were fast closing In upon our square. Col. Burnaby fenced the swarthy Arab as if he were playing in an asamlt at arms , and there was a smile on his features as ho drove off the man's awkward points , Tbe scene was taken in at A glance. With that lightning initinct which I have seen desert warriora before new display in battla while coming to one another's aid , an Arab , who was pursuing a soldier and had passed five paces to Burnaby's right and rear , turned with a Eudden spring , and this second Arab run his spear point into the Colonel's right shoulder. It waa but a slight wound. Enough though to cause Barnaby to twist around In his saddle and defend Himself from this unexpected attack , Before the savage could repeat his unlocked for blow , to near tha ranks of the square was the ccene now being enacted , a soldier ran out and drove his sword-bayonet through the second assailant. Brief as was Barnaby' * glanci backward at this fatal episode , i \y s long enough to enable thi first Arab to deliver his spear-poin full in the brave officer's throat , The blov drove Buinably out of his saddle , but it re quired a second one before lie would let go o ! his grin of the. reins and tumbled upon tin ground _ Half a dozen Arabs were now abou' t him. With blood gushing in streams from hi td ti gashed thioat tha dauntless guardsman leapei d to his feet , sword in hand , and slashed at tbe ferocious group , They were the wild strokes of a proud brave man dying hard , and he ws quickly omborne and left helpUij and dying.

Grant's condition , the Record's bulletin , two weeks ago so largely quoted by the press of the country , requires some explanation. It is fair to state tha facts at tha time presented by the Medical Record were founded on the best authority , that of Dr. Fordyce Barker , the attending physician cf Gen. Grant , and this explanation is manifest in the following note. " The note referred to contains n tech nical description < > E Gen. Grant's symptoms as observed by tha writer ( Dr. Barker ) , and asserts that the statement then made waa not exaggerated. _ The letter explains that nt that time the ation of congress hud a most de pressing effect on Gen. Grant , hia vital powers suddenly broke down , nnd the local malady speedily nssurr.lDg a new aspect. The news paper accounts were much exaggerated , and the doctors had never anticipated any such speedy termination as they indi cated. Tha word "cancer'1 was not used in. connection with tbe case , but "Epitholioma" of a magnificent type. The Medical Record's article after referring ogam to the exaggerated accounts of Grant's condition , published in the newspapers , de fines the nature of the disease , which it ni- ( erts.ia seiious andunfrequcnt. It had not , however , become deeply rooted in this case under considerationthe tongue , epiglottis and nil othot parts of the throat bsing in n normal condition.

The defiant ut titudo of tlio defendant ! la now known to have been duo to the fact of their hold on him and the belief that he would bo able to keep them out of the penitentiary. They have been bleeding him from the outset and are prepared to continue the process as long ta necessary , even if it runs until the etatuta of limitations bears the prosecution. It has al ready cost him around sum and It is thought that ho will not get out short of $100,00 trib ute.

In the matter of ho suspemlon of State Auditor Brown by ! ov , Sherman , there were no new develop ments yesterday tntil C o'clock in the even- ng. In the forenoon the governor wont with Mattel ) , auditor pro tom , to the auditor's office , nnd tbe governor asked Drown if he it 'used to surrender posaecslon to Cattell , llrown replied that bo did. The governor and Cattell then retired. In the afternoon . the governor went before a justice of the peace and filed an information against Brown of having committed ft misdemeanor , by ex ercising and attempting to exercise the functions of auditor after havinf been suspended from ald office by the governor of the state Late in the afternoon Sheriff Painter nerei the notice , and arrested Browp , and took him before Justice McMaitin , who released him on bill and fixed tbe bonds at S2.0CO , and the hearing was eet for Fridaymorning , Ho gave the bonds and waa released. He was ropre tented by countel , The theory of his defcnsi will ba aa stated by the counsel , that the law under which the governor has nu pended bin are unconstitutional. After Ilrown'd arrcn C ttell ws placed In charge of the auditor' VAN WYOK , Seine Moro Compliments to Nc l > r nln'8 Senior Senator. Vnn Wyck , Denver Tribune-He-publican , Senator Vnn Wyck , of Nobraikc , ha : made himself famous by forcing the san- n'otoavolo on the Texas Patifio for- feitnrn bill , Thu friends of monopoly in that body did all In their power to de feat the measure by dodging its consid eration , but when it came lo a vote they did not dare go on record rgilnst it. Old Bowou , of Colorado , and Blnir , of Now Hampshire , voted openly that way , and iho press of the whole country is aniRzod at their hardihood. In thus bringing this bill to Us passage , Van Wyck and his aasrolataa have won a signal victory over Gould and liuntlcg- ton. It is gratifying to Colorado t ? know that from the first Senator II111 has warmly and ably seconded the No- biaika sanator. For it the latter lost his sen * . Van AVyck hhniolf will bo de feated if money and monopoly cin do it. Bnt it is far preferable to the true statcs-uau to have the esteem of his conn * try and go out cf the sen-vie , thtu to re main In It at the price of baliy regarded ai the tool of corporations. The bill rjstoroj to the people 15,000- 000 acres of hnd. This is 3,000,000 acres more than the Union Pacific grmt and is about as largo ni the statss of New Jersey , Connecticut , Dalawaro and Rhode Is'nnd ' u'l ' put together. It will make 93,750 farms of 100 ncroi ench. The bill was slightly amended In the senate - ate , but will doubtless go through the house again and btcomo a law. Some vital amendments in the sanato in the in terest of the monopolists were only do- featad by 2 majority. The grant was intended to build the road through Now Mexico and Arizona. The Texas Pacific was built through Tcxai by a state g'ant. Ten ycais vas the limit. The road MAS finished to the Texas line at El P.-uo , whore it was to bgin , to earn the grant , bnt therj it stoppad. The ton j em wnj already out. Gould now controlled tha read. It was not only too Into to cam the grant , but Huntington hid not only built his Sontheni Pacific across Arizona , and Now MsxfcD , without any grant or sub sidy , and boested that ho needed none , and that Gould should not have an extension - tension , in which to forestall him. Tbii wai very true , and very creditable. But Huntlngtqn anJ Gould , feeling that they owned congress , laid their heads together to steal this lapped grant. The Texas Pacific transferred it to the Southern Pa cific , and stipulated not to build beyond El Paso. It ii the consummation ot this steal that the fight lead by Senator IVan Wyck has just defeated. Few events in our recent congressional history have moro significance. It indicates that money cannot , when it is wholly in the wrong , entirely control the government. By Far tlio Moil Successful Senator. PJaltsmouth Journal. Mr. Van Wyck is by far the most suc cessful senator of the picicnt congress. tie gets more of his favorite moiaures through than any other man , and does it by reason of his Independence and through devotion to duty and the public interests. Quite Easy. Plattsmouth Journal , The Plattsmouth Daily Journal says : "Sen ator Vnn Wyck will accept thanks for public documents. " Now will tbo Journal bring in a bill of particulars ni to what the senator would decline ? Omaha Republican. Well yes ; that is quite easy. Judging by his record ho would decline to unite with his party or any other party to > erpctrato any robbery of the people ; as 10 did the other day by opposing Mr. ? rye and his parly'a schema to subaldix.j John Itoach's Pacific mall steamship line , even if the red-haired editor of the R- icbllcan wore to urge him to it. In gen- jral he declines to join the Blaine shool. Give us something hard. Xovcr LOSOB an Opportunity. St. Louis Republican , Mr. Van Wyck , of Nebraska , never loses an opportunity in the senate to ' i t the railroads. The moit of his ra- publican brethren in that body , though , stand in with the companies , as their votes on the Tesua Pacific forfeiture bill will show. Vim AVyck's Victory. New York Times. Tha surprise of the forfeiture bill's enemies at tbo pasjago of the measure is almost equal to their disgust. They never intended to allorr the bill ta reach a vote on its passage at this session ol oougroes , but they were defeated by the good management of Mr. Van Wyck , ts the loader of their opponents. Friends of the measure are jubilant over their success. Tlio bill was twine placed at the head of the Iht of special orders by its advocates , nnd twice barlod in the calendar by its enom.et , and to have car ried it through under thcss circumstances its friends considered a big victory. The amendments made thobysenate aronnim portant details , and it is believed that boy vrlll be accepted by the homo of representatives. A Boom 1'or Vnn AVyolc.
