As soon 28 the result was annouuced, Gon. Pavia sent an officer to tho Chamber with a letter demanding the dissolution of the Cortes. Senor Salmeron and others urged Castelar to continuo in power, but their prayor was rofused ; whereupon 2 company of Municipal Gaards en- tered the palace of tho Cortes and expalled the Deputies. Gen.'Pavia with his stalf held a position ontside with connon pointed at the building. THE FEW MINISTRY. + Mapmm, Jan. 4.—A new Ministry has been formed, as follows: President, Serrano.

THE COUE D'ETAT APPROVED BY THE COUNTRY. The chief civil and military authontics of nearly all the provinces in communication with Hfadrid have telegraphed to Gen. Pavia thoir ap- proval of his conduct. No disturbance is re- ported in any quarter. NO PRIVATE TELEGRANS TRANSMTTED. The transmission of private telegrams has been temporarily suspended. SERRANO'S CFFICE DEFINED. A decreo has been promulgated sppointing Marshal Serrano Chief of the Execative Power. The News in Washington. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. WasEINGTOX, D. C., Jan, .—The Madrid dis- patches in tho morning papers bavo been the subject of general diccussion to-dsy. The State Department has received advices up to 12 o'clock last night. They ehow that Pavia's troops, & sort of militia force, with which e attempted to overthrow the Cortes, were disarmed by tho regulars, who were stationed throughout the city with sartillery planted to maintain order; that Pavia himself is to be tried for high tromson; that at 5 oclock yesterdny morning Castelsr ten- dered his resignation, and Serrano was at once elected President; and that his Cabinethas been announced. The feeling here is one of fear that the experiment of a Spauish Republic i3 a fail- ure. Serrano is regarded as at heart anything but & Republican. (7o the Ansociated Press.} WasnrsaToy, Jan. 4. —The coup d'etat of Gen. Pavia at Madrid excites much surprise in diplo- matic and other circles, his name not having heretofors been mentioned in & manner which would cccasion even a suspicion of such a move- ment. Speculations are freely expressed 88 to the futnre, and the general opinion is that THE REPUBLICAN CACSE HAS BEEN DAMAGED by lately reported revolutionary procecdings, but tho official information thus far received is of 8o ‘meagro a character as to atford no basis for reli- able comment. The Castelar Government had, during the YVirginius negotiation, ropeatedly declared not only its friendliness toward the United States, but ite desire to draw still closer the relations of the two countries; and our Government evinced 2 like amicable feeling toward Spain, even tak- ing the negotiations ont of the hands of Gen. Sickles in order to be in better accord with the Castelar Government. THE CRISIS AXD CUBAX AFFAIRS. The friends of that Government in Congres- sional and executive circlos regard recent events in Spain us likely to delay the promised reforms in the Antilles, sod to prevent such negotiation throngh Gen. Cushing as would tend to the pacifi- cation of Cubs and Porto Rico, and 2t the same time protect American interests in Cuban waters from tke annoyauce snd outrages to which they have been 8o frequently subjected. LATEB. Wasamsaros, D. C., Jan. 1—Midnight.—Offi- cial advices confirm the main -features of the Madrid dispatches. g It appears that Pavia is to ‘be court-martialed for rebellion, and that his supportors have been disarmed. Marshal Serrano. Marshsl Serrzno, the new President of tho Council, was born at San Feruando, near Cnd!_z, in 1610, and acquired his military experience in ot ‘Tadependence. Devoted to the in- terests of Queen Christine, he assisted in over- throwing Espartaro in 1843, He then formed s conliton with Naryaca o tho stiexapt of tbo hitamy Dail; CHICAGO, MONDAY, JANUARY 5. 1874. ’ Iatter to overthrow Olozaga. After the over- throw of the Ministry of M. de Salamanca, he turned Liberal, and, just before the accession of Narvacz, accepted the Captain-Generalcy of Grepada. In 1854, he "was exiled, but returned in July of that year and became en active supporter of tho O'Donnell-Espartero Cabinet. In 1356, he was made Caprain-General of New Castilo. In 1857, he was sont 28 Am- hassador ; in 1859 waa appointed Director and Colonel-General of Artillory, and in June, 1865, Captain-General of Madrid. ' On tne return to power of Narvaez, in 1866, Scrano vehcmently opposed him in consequence of tho iilegal prorogation of the Cortes. As Presidont of the Senate he was - delegated, together with Senor Rios Rosas, the President of the Chbamber of Deputies, to prescut to the Quaen a protest sigued by large numbers of the members of both Chambers. Tho Ministry, however, prosecuted the two Presidents, and Marshal Ser- rauo was confined for a sbort time in the Mili- tary Prison at Alicante. The Revolution of 1868, however, again brought himiate prominence. Queen Isabella having fled, and her dynasty being proscrifxed, Serrano hus- tened to Cadiz, on the 19th of September, where, with Prim and Topete, ho became the prin- cipal actor in the Revolution. A fewjdavs after- wards, the Jenta of Madrid mado him President of the Couucil of Ministers, and nominated bim Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Gen. Prim being assigned to tae Ministry of War, and Ad- ‘miral Topote to the Ministry of Marine. the posi- tion to which he i8 now called, the second time under Serramo. Tho mounarchcial form of government having been decided upon, Serrano Was elected Regont by 193 votes against 45 on June 16, 1869, and continued to act in that copacity until Amadeus was_prevailed upon to accept «he Spanish crown. Since the abdication of Amzdeus, ho has beon mostly engazed in tho field agaipst the Carlists. He now tases the Presidéncy of the Couxcil Skctch of Senor Castelar. Sonor Don Emilio Castelar is in his 41st year, and 1o his youth was noted for the Republican ardor ho displayed in the political movements of the time. The insurrection of 1854 brought him into greater prominence and intimate rela- tions with the leader of ths Liberal movement. He wrote at that time for the ultia Liberal papers, and was mansgiog editor of tho Tribune, a Democ:atic orgen. He contributed also to M. Rivero's paper, La Ihscusion. In 1864 he founded » journal named La Democracia He was, sbout this time, becauso of his liberal Views, deprived of the Professorship of History aud Philosophy in the Univessity of Madrid, whic: he had Won in a competitive examination. In the upricing of 1868 hs was one of the first at the barricades, but was sbandooed by the other 1surgents, who were dissatiefied with bis adveuced principles. He was condemned to doath, by contumacy. for his shaie in tls revolt, but escaped across the frontier to Switzerland, whence he repaited to Franca. When tho great revolut:on of September, 1363, bogan, Castelar promptly re-euterad Sbaia, and, with Orense and Pierrad, was the most ar— dent propagandist of democratic priciples. e promoted pubhic demonstratious against mon- archy, and thrilled assembled multitudes by bis powerful eloguence. Ho viriied tho provinces prior to the municipal eiections of December, 1868, rnd 0 wnfiuenced popular fecling that the Republicaus carricd sl the great cities except Madrid. s paty was, however, placed in minority in the Cortes by the general elections of February, 1369, and it devolved on Castelar and his devoted nahercuts to assert the cause of republican liberty against the overwhelming intluenca of Prim, Serrano, and other mounarchists. Iu the discussions on the framing of the now Constitution, he reeisted at every step the encroachmenis on popular Iiberty which that measuro involved. Ho op- osed the Regency, and also the proposed se- lection of Prince Leopold. o dissented with egual vigor with {he majority in tho Cortes at tho elscuon of the cx-King Amadeus, and thronghout the reign of that mouarch was ac- ivety opposed to his Government, althongh willing to support any liboral measures which 1¢ might submit. After tho abdication of Amadeus, Cactelar took the position of Foreign Secretasy 1n the new Government, aod in October last waa elected President of the Republio against Sal- meron, the opposing candidate. i OTHER NEWS FROM SPAIN.

A Threatened Strilke Among the Schuylkill Coal-Miners—RBesistance to the General Reduction of Wages by Gther Trades. special Dispatch to The Chicano Tribune, PurapELeEia, Pa., Jan. 4.—There is a threatening prospect of a goneral and extensive striko among the Pennsylvania conl-miners dur- ing the present month. The trouble among the ‘miners is the same as thatof ths locomotive- engineers, viz.: a 10 per cent reduction in wages. A meeting of coal operators, ‘miners, and others intercsted was lately held at the Reading Reilroad office, at which the ‘mine-owners introiuced the matier of the pro- posed reduction. The miners objected, aond threatoned a strike in cnse it was persisted in. No dofinite arrangement_was arrived at, but it ‘as agreed that $2.50 ot Port Carbon be paid till Jan, 8, when snother meeting is to be held at Pottaville. Meautimo, thero is & murmur of dis- approbation in the Schuylkill rogions, and it is feared a strike ia imminent. THE FACTORIES at Kensington and Manayunkare almont all run- ning. Four thousand hands were taken on dur- ing the past week. OTHER LABOR BEVOLTS.

The striking carpet-weavers still hold out, but there is much distress rcported among them, and it is generally believed that they must even- tually yield, s tho scanty demand necessitutes eithor a reduction of wages or & LOMPOTary Bus~ pension. THE MOBOCCO DEALERS of Philadelphis and Wilmington, Del., are Yery busy just now preparing stock for the Eastern trado, the demand beiug fully up to last yesr'a average.

Four Murders Reported from Different Parts of the Country. Mail Advices of Horrible Murders in New Mexico. Double Murder and Suicide at Louisville. Attompt to Kill Judge Worris. Special Disvatch to The Cisicago I'ribune. New Yorr, Jan. 4.—The desperation of the Brooklyn ring at the near prospect of active prosecution of the large gang of repeaters and ballo:-box stuffers in its pay is indicated by a diabolical attempt to take the life of Judge S. D. Morris, formerly District-Attornay of Brooklyn. and tho most active and prominent opponent of tho ring. Morris holds in the reform m vemeat of Brooklyn about the same relative position ns Charles O'Conor did ia this city when Tam- many was overthrown; and leads, as well as legally advises, the reforms of Brooklyn. He was tho chief counsel engaged in prosecuting Winchester Britton, the present District-Attor- ney of Broozlyn, for malfeasance in oflice, and thus made himself PARTICULARLY OBNOXIOUS TO THE BING, who recognize that the removal of Britton and the eprointment of o reformer as District-At- torney by Gov. Dix, would result in cthe indict- men: of many members of the ring. During the investigation of Dritton, and 1 order to estab- lish the charge that ho had protected ballot-box siuffers, by whose fraads it is admitted Rritcon was clected, it became necessasy to prove crime on sbout ten of the ring_gang, most of whom kad to resign public ofices and secreto them- sclves donng the trial. The proof of guilt way conclusive, and, if Brittonis removed, State's pris- on stares them in the facc. dorris, in that event, would probably prosceate and convict them ; avd it 18 believed that soms of theso vitlaias 1nsti- gated, 1f they did not commit, the crime just brought to Light. e TILE INFERNAL MACHTNE. On New Yea's Eve a box, apparently contain- irg cigars, was sont to Judge Borris at his resi- dence; aud, in bis sosenco at Albany molking the clusing argument before Gov. Dix against Brition, his wife laid it aside. Several membe1s ot the Reform Committee. of wiuch Morris is counsel, called on his family on New Year's Day, aud weio offerca cigors, but the box left the pight before was tortanately not called into 1equisition. The Judszo did not return from Aldeny until lest night, “and the box was undisturbed _unul about 10 o'elock this morning, when Morris opened it in his bed- room, surrounded Dy his wife and soveral little ones.’ On lifting the lid the snap of & epring s heard, and 4t o glanco it was scon that tho box was an infernal machune. It is a miracle that it did not explode. Only the TOO GREAT PRECAUTION of the maker provented the explosion, the matches which were to ignice the powder having caught against tho edge of the sand-paper across which tho epring was iutended to Gave drawn them. The box contained a torpedo and cnough loose powder and gun-cotton: to bave shatiered the honse to pieccs. Judge Morris carefully lifted the box and placed 1t in o bath-tub, where it was saturated with water and then taken to picces. 1t is in' the Lands o1 the police, who are alroady in scarch of the ballot-box stnffers, in hope that some one of them will confess the crime, to which ic is al- most impossible otherwiso to obtain a clew.

Before detailing the causes and circumstaaces of tho tragedy, it will bo Decessaiy to expiain that Thomas Cooko is the man who 8oino time 830 was arrested charged with seiting fiie to the Orliland rope-walxs, whereby *Squire Willis and fam:ly were burued fo death.

About two wecks ago Le gave bail for this latter offense, and was al- lowed s liberty. From these aud other crimes commitred at intervals during the past six years, hie Ligs become notorious as bewng one of the most hardened, vindictive, and_daring despera- does that are koown to the police and communi- ty of Louisvillo.

Ho seemed to boin the best of humor, aad, dinner being over, he remained in the room talking to his wife, who was busily engaged at o sowing-machine, and to Mrs. Rutledze, who was Iying on tho bed. In {he room. tnd standing seat his wife, was a gir!, 16 years of age, named Elen Martin, who had been visiting the bouse wnco mormng, and had dined with them at noon. ‘Loaving the parties thus occupied, wo will re- trace the nozrative. Cooke aud his wife have been warried for three years. It seoms to be the umiversal opision in the neighborivod that dwing this period sbe hed given proof to him aud tlio community that she was not as constans to him s their matriage-vow Lad promised. On the contrary, it is stated that sho #oughs tho 2o~ ciety of other men, ond morcover sought to de- coy thoso younger than berself into tho same path whici is dads. 1 our very miast. leading to Tuin girls just budding into_ womanhood. Hav- iug Lecome acquainted with Elen artin, who bad separated from Ler mother a short whilo a0, baving quarreled with ber in regard to tize apporiionuient of her fatier’s cstate, and who, 1 congoguenes, was thrown upon the uncertain charites of the strect, Mrs. Cooke immediately undertook to proviae a **home” for her with o certain man of their mutnal acqaaintance. Lhe gil, it may bo. well to remark, piofesses io bave boen iguorant of the iwoman'a real intention. In oider to effect tho urrangement they had corcluded to go to tho employmont of- fico near the corner of Fourth and Jefferson arects. and it was in order to accompany ary Cooke thore that the girl Martin had called at the house. Of this Thomas Cooke was unaware. He kpew, howover, that bota had, together, gone to tho ball at Glover's Rink on New Year's eve, which, a is geneially kuown, is attended only by prostitutes, rougis, aud the fasiyoung men of tho town. Thinkiog then that tho two had some scheme of an unlawful nature ou foot, Cooic’s jealous anger was aroused, and ho domanded botly what Elien alartin wanted with his wife. She replied that it was their intontiou to go down town to- gother. ¢ Then,” replied Cooke, *you can leave, 88 my wife shall notgo.” Iis wife then told the girl to do zo such thing, but to stay and they wow.d go _down town directly. 3Mrs. Rut- ledge then ssid, ** Tom, if you can't behave yourxelf you must leave this house, and I tell you now to go and never como back hero again.” Cooko then answered, * Well, I will, ——yon; but you nor Mollie sk:all nevertrouble me again.” By this time the devil in bhis nature maoi- fested itsolf in lus languago, bis looks, and his actions. Drawing from lus _pocket an ordinary, but very sharp, barlow-knife, ho jumped to- ‘warda his wife, seizing her by the hair 28 she turced to flee, aud plupged tiie blade five times in quick succession into her back. She fell to the floor as with the upraised koife he would bave stubbed ber again. Then, datting to the side of bis mother-In-law, with aa_oath ho sank tio blade deep into her left shoulder. There the thoughs of the cnormity of the crime which he had committed must suddenly have flashed upon his mind, disordered by tho maduess of bis an- ger.

Mennwhile Ellen Martin, with s temified sbriek, ran out to the opon air and started for _the drug-storc. Suddenly it occurred to Cooke that she had -witnessed the awful tragedy, sad, with the blood flowing from his wounds mpon bis clothing, marking his way with a crimson stream, ho pursued ber 20 yards with the reeking koife in his hand that 'had”eerved his pupose so terribly. He turned, however, and urst into the next house, occupicd Ly Ars. Lindley, and fell cpon the bed, satuvaiing it with bfood. . No sooner had he euicred than following him came some women. deariag the form of his wite, who was placed on tho same bed. . The buggy of Dr. Rademaker had just passed the house when tho murder occurre: o was at once hailed and summoned to the scene. “When I entered the room,” says the Doctor, “the sppealance of things rem:nded me of a slaugbter-isouse. The floor was slippery with blood. Tho chairs were bloody. The ped waa bloody. And in the midst of all walked up and down tns room tac ghastly and bloody form of Thomas Cooke, with his severed throat plainly vieible. I immediotely attended to hiswife, and found that sho had beon stabbed fivetimesin the back between the scapule. I then sent for the necessary instrumeuts acd sewed up her husband’s throat.
