One of he has seen a telegram from Mr. Parnell s ing that he would bein London to-morro The dispatch, Mr. McCarthy says, is dated to- day. MUTINY AT SEA. The British bark Willowbank, Capt* Parrin, at Falmouth, from Pisagua, re- ports thats on March 2, in latitude 1 deg., 2% min., longitude % deg., 88 min., west, she spoke the American ship Occidental, from Penarth, January 30, for Acapulco. The mate of the ship was in command, her master, Capt. Williams, having been killed by one of the crew on March 20. Five sailors were working on the forecastie on that day, when one of them, fan Irishman, became involved in a quarrel with the captain. The latter dealt the Irish several heavy blows with a belaying pin, when the sailor drew a knife and stabbed the captain to the heart. The sailor was not placed under arrest. Capt. Williams’ wife and three children were on board and pro- ceeded with the vessel for Acapulco. The second mate of the Willowbank boarded the Occidental and learned the above facts. The crew of the Occidental were mutinous. Germany. A BLOW TO GERMAN INDUSTRY. BERLIN, May 11.—The Russian Government has decreed that all merchants in Posen hav-_ ing commercial intercourse beyond the sian frontier must pay the taxes of the Russian Merchants’ Gulld and obtain a license from the Russian Minister of Trade. The semi-of- ficial press, in ite comments on this and the new Russian duties on metals, displays great indignation. The Cologne Gazette says: This course con- stitutes a crushing blow to German industry, and is also a blow in the face to the previous Russian policy and the policy of its present official leaders. It shows that the Katkoff, not the DeGiers party, commands real power. Such measures can only have the object of af- fecting the political attitude of the country against which they are directed.’’ CAUSES DISMAY. VIENNA, May 11.—The threatened increase of the German corn duty causes dismay in Aus- tria and Hungary, as an increase would entail serious loss in the Austrian-Hungarian Em- pire. Mexico. THE OFFICERS SHOT. Orrr OF MEXICO, VIA GALVESTON, Tex., May 11.—The first intelligence of the shooting of the Mexican army officers on account of the Nogales meident, reached the public at the capital to-day and caused a profound sensation. Nothing was known of the execu- tion of the sentence at the American legation last evening. NOT OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED. WASHINGTON, May .11.—The Department of State has not been officially informed of the intention of the Mexican authorities to execute the three Mexican army officers for illegally crossing the border at Nogales,and the publications to that effect have caused con- siderable surprise, as the penalty is regarded as entirely disproportionate to the offense. Still, in the absence of any official information on the subject, the department can take no action looking to intervention in favor of the condemned officers. The petitions referred to in this morning’s dispatches have not reached MONTREAL, May 11.—From the moment that Editor William O’Brien of United Ireland left the Grand Oentral Depot in New York until his arrival here this morning, at 8 o’ clock, his journey was without incident.
