Ky , March IT -'Ever I lastingly -eternally and forever." ac j cording to Cy Brown's motion, the ?joint assembly of the Kentucky Leg j islature adjourned to day. The ses? sion was a failure. Primarily the chief business of the body, tue pro? vision or proper means and the en? actment of just laws for the conduct and administration of" government, was neglected, aaa in addition was presented the rare spectacle of a State Capitol filled with troops and the enforcement of martial law. And lastly, the election of a representa? tive of the State in the highest body in tho land failed of accomplishment The lamentable feature of to-day's procedure was the failure to pass the revenue bil!? Tfce urgent necess'.ty for tile passage of the revenue biils may be gained from thc fact that the present indebtedness of Kentuckys i $60,000, and the calculated indebted? ness by next June $l,c00,000, Senator Blackburn professes to be elated.

A supplemental charge to the same body by Judge Earl? broke the record. The grand jury filed i::ro Court tied made its presentment, and among c-theT things stated that the dispensers of this county were violating the Law-, and de? tailed some specific net? cf violation, and that ended tbe story of thc jury. Judge Earle said, (referring .0 so '? much of your presentment as relates to the dispensary,) if the county dispens ors have sold alcoholic liquors as yo:: DOW report then they have violated the provision:' of the statute They are au? thorized 'o dispense liquors only aa tb-* prarute directs, and if they rna''-' ru io any orb"- manner they are j .. cuit tv as the mao who run^ a b::e;i tiger, as tr is caliea.

March 15 - "Tut' Span? iards ktiow there is hell ii; Cuba quit?0: as well as Senator Sherman floes,''" said Senor Romero Rohledo, minister of justice, to mo this morning.

"A strong feeling has nov/ arisen, especially if the southern and wes? tern provinces, about him. Spaniards are impatient with his mild enforce? ment of his vigorous proclamation." Mr. Armstrong, secretary of the Coiled Stales legation here, said to me to day: ''Generai Weyler is cer? tainly in a very embarrassing pcsi 1 tion.

There is a great deal of talk to the effect that the civil guards are to be augmented to 25 000 and that the home army is to be reduced. This is officially denied on the ground that it would increase taxation, as the civil guards are paid fairly good sal? aries. The reformists have given the government a hard shock. There is an uneasy feeling about their mani? festo declaring that the elections can I not be held in Cuba. There is a feeling of desperation regarding Cuba which is growing i stronger.
