Madrid, March 18. In the Contes on Thursday, Senor Castellar read a four hours speech,' criticising the poli cy of the ministry in general, but chiefly in its course on the religious question. He declared that TJltra montanism had created the civil war. The house wa3 crowded; all the ministers were present, but remained silent. The spectators in the galleries several time3 applauded the speaker. Canovas de Castillo and Parvia, will reply to Castellar. King Alfonso has arrived at Vallado sa. Vienna, March 18. The Servian ministers seem in favor of immediate war. The situation is aggravated by the continued rains. The Austrian representatives at Belgrade had an other interview with Prince Milan on Thursday, and urged him to make binding the declaration in favor of peace. The Prince asked for a few days' delay, because he could not trust the" pacific assurances of Montenegro. He said that if Montenegro entered in to a war, he could not remain behind, as the Turks were again concentrated on the Servian frontiers. Long cabi net councils are held daily. Pakis, March 18. M. Louis Blane. has decided to take a seat in the Chamber of Deputies for the 13th ar rondissment of Paris. An arch of the railway bridge over the River 111, gave away to-day under pressure of the flood. A crossing pas senger train was precipitated into the river. The carriages were dashed to pieces. The passengers were all crush ed to death or are dying. Thirty corpses have been already received. The programme of the ministers is as follows: 10 or 12 of the most ob noxious prefects, and a sub-prefect, are to be removed in a few days, and eight of these replaced by men thoroughly resolved to serve the republic, careful' ly selected and particularly calculated to. attract the support of the middle class. The remaining officials will be carefully examined. Those who have interfered in elections through polit ical passion, will be dismissed, and others who acted under orders or through errorj removed to other 'de partments. Afer- these changes, as surances will be given to the officials that tfrey have hothing more to fear. The bill on irufciictpiil reform rs will not be intrcducid till1 the end 6f "he year, as -the Excitement of another electionas immediate during the pres ent year. They will, however, endea yor to choose officers from the Muni cipal Councils, and arrange for the election of a new municipal couucil to replace the one which has been ap pointed by the Prefects. A bill has been introduced restoring to the States the sole power of grant ing University degrees. Mid-Night Dispatches. WEATHEEkPKOBABILITIES. ; - Washisgtos, March 18.

Investigation of the Treasury Soon to Begin Marsh to Retorn Next Week Damaging Evidence to Spencer. Washington, D. C, March 18. The Committee on Expenditures in the Treasury Department, convened this afternoon, and decided to go into an extensive examination of the expen ditures of the Treasury Department, with especial reference to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Numerous witnesses have been requested to ap pear, including Bristow. Marsh will return here next week, a pardon having been issued for him as well as immunity for his wife. He consented to come on these conditions. The Spencer investigation was re newed to-day. Robert Barber, Clerk of the House of Delegates of the so-called Court House Legislature, testified that Spencer promised him the appoint ment of Marshal when Healy's term expired. The promise was made a long time after he had,begun to labor for Spencer. The night before the elec tion, witness kept guard over two col ored Republicans who were feared to be disaffected. In the morning he told them in the presence of Spencer, that Spencer had made up his mind to get them offices. Spencer said he could not make a direct promise, but there was a route agency vacant on the Western Railroad. They subse quently voted for Spencer. The ques tion was asked if Spencer furnished any money to take a journey to Lown des county, and to this ex-Senator Carpenter, counsel for Spencer, ob jected, taking the grounds that no proof can be given before the commit mittee, showing that any one had been bribed; that bribery was punishable by the State. The witness was direct ed to answer the qusstion, and did so by stating that Spencer furnished one of the party $300 for his expenses. The reason they went there was to de feat a man named Stan wood, who was an enemy of Spencer's. Moore, the colored man, irho was elected in his place, was also entrusted to go into other counties and induce persons to run as independent candidates, the ex penses of the canyass to be paid by Spencer, or the State Committee, he forgets which. Several letters were in troduced and read, one from Spencer, dated November 24th, no year, saying: "Healy's time scon expires, and you shall have the place," and that the office would be worth $5,000 a year. The letter adds that in case the United States government has a war with Spain,Alabama will come in for agood share of the patronage as he (Spencer) is on the military committee of the Senate, and can thusjget many offices, telling Barber that he could get him a good place in the army if he wanted one. The witness said he was appoint ed as Inspector of Customs of. Mobile, at a salary of $2.50 per day, although he never applied for it : he thinks Spencer got the appointment for him. He never went to Mobile, and never rendered any services but drew his pay, and held the position three months. FLASHES. New Oeleans, March 18. Washing ton Rockwell was to-day shot and killed by R.

He bellowed insult and den ance in that bold and violent manner which he has apparently adopted un der the impression that it indicates a vigorous mind. - He stood in the cen tre of a crowd, and exploded denunci ations, and swung the lash ef inveetive until he had converted tne Mouse of representatives into a howling . mob.
