The Spaniards bave found their advantage in a bold display of what may, perhaps, be termed patri- otlsm, and 1s certainly national courage.

Our columns Lave informed the public, not only What. ths Spanish peo- ple thought of the American Ambassador's note, but what he himseif thought of it when its effects became visible. He was mauifestly alarmed at the result of tus own proceed- ings, and requested turtier instructions trem Wasih- ington, pending which, as we have now reason to believe, he has expressed his desire ro withdraw his note altogether. Jf this is actually the poaition or the case at the preseut moment, Spain owes it to hee fearlessness, a fearlessness which may savor of un- reason, but which, at any rate, is not bravado, She has declared that if driven to it she will fight, and that she will figat is not to be doubted. That ste could obtain any success in a war with the United States ts, of course, out of the question; but, at the same time she standa to loose so Much les’ Uhan her adversary, that the Americans way fairly deciune even an easy victory on such ouerons and partial terms. Tue Spanish government has declared, and the Spanish people have resoived that they will not allow Cuba to be wrenched from ‘their possession without making @ fight for it. It is not to be imagined that the contest thus accepted could end in any- thing but tue loss of Cuba, with probabiy other losses to boot; but whereas it is Ghvious that Gene- ral es expected no such resistance as his note provoked, it is possible that in the face of such oppo- sition his proceedings may bo qualitied or rejatt!- ated.

Lieutenant General Bias Pierrad, repubtican deputy, and the only general on the republican side, has, after months of meditation and timid reticence, issued an address to his correligionists and fnends, ‘Which now covers the fences and dead walls of the Spanish ‘capital, and is being read by delighted Miultitudes.

About 1,000 feet above the avenue—four blocks—is the Nlath street bridge, where the Coney island horse cars cross. Tbe next bridge—which cost $25,000—1a at Third street, and is built of tron, by the commis- sioners of the Third street improvement. It ts @ haudsome though light structure, and is much used, that route being a popular one to the habitucs of the new park, owing to the fine pavement laid on Third street, the unuiorm arrangement of trees and the pleatihul distribution of lamps, whico are set at half distance, and at night add considerably to the [eeteniedy of the drive by the briiliant llumina- tion wich thoy afford. Four blocks, or 1,000 feet more, i# the fourth bridge, at Carroll street, a tine modern structure, while two blocks further on is te Unicn street bridge, which ia built of iron and cost $70,002, The abutments and centre Pler are of stone, leaving thirty-lour feet width of draw on either side of the centre pier, From this point the canal runa three blocks further to its termination, Previously the average dept of the water was at low tide not over two fee: and a half. ‘The consequenco was that la many places ihe botiom, filed with decomposed aniinal and vege- table matter, when exposed to the sun emitted a deadly miasma, which spread its infection on every side, creating @ very ban santiary record for South Brooklyn, and thereby lajuring tie sale of propert; ‘This can no longer occur now that the boom been cleansed and deepened and the tide ebps and Hows from the mouth to the terminus of tie ci Q Origmally there Was a creek running up to Fourth street.

Tue other branches, 657 feet each, leave the canal at Seventh aud at Sixth streets, and ter- minate at Sixth avenue. The excavations for the two last are nearly completed. The foundations for the constraction of these docks are made by driving piles iu the meadow at intervals of eleven feet from each other. The piles are driven eighteen fect into the soil, 80 ag to pass through the strata of mud and get 4 firm hold in the hard olay underlying it, Tie creation of these docks abolishes Fourth and Fifth street a3 roads between the Gowanus canal and ‘Third ue.

THE INDIANA HORROR, Particulars of the Frightful Disnster at the Indianapolis Foir Gzounds--Kourful Suffex- ings of the Victims—Graphic Description of the Scene. (From the Indianapolis Journal, Oct, 2] One o'clock yesterday afternoon was the hour assigned for the trial of portable engines and saw mills. aud into the competitionseveral firms entered, among them-sinker & Co., engine builders, and Long, Joseph & Carter, sawjers. ‘The test had been completed and the victory, if a victory it 13, had been won by the Sinker machine. Seven minutes and a half of sawiag had been done, with every part of the engine and miil strained to the Utmost tension, alter which the fires bh been permitted to go down aad the machines to rest, About three o’clock Mr, Sinker’a foreman thought it advisable to saw up the logs on hand, 80 a8 Lo Clear up for reuiovai oa the morrow, The engine Was started and vie task acconplished with the exception of two “turns,” ‘Tho pit beueath the saw was tilled with sawdast, and @ tomporary rest was taken to allow two colored helpers to clean it out. A large circie of interesied lookers-on were gathered avout the area occupied by the machinery, while here and there over the grounds were scat- tered 12,000 or 16,000 people, At a moment of undais- turbod quist, while the hum of the machinery was hushed and attention directed toward the ring In Which the fast trotting was about to commence, noise, like the explosion of & park of artillery, 6a- luted the eas, and a concussion ofthe earch, as of an earthquake, sent @ thrill of fear to the heart. A volume of steam, a olinding cloud of dust an soko, the air liled with debris of timber, of plecea Of iron, O1 shreds of ciotuing, parts of human beings, of groans and shricks, men falling hither and thither, and ranks opening as if ploughed through with grape and shrapnel, told the Tearful tale of an expigsion. ‘The engine, & moment belore a thing of beauty, Obedient to she ouch of man, was torn and rout by a@ mighty convaision; %ts comeliness gone, its parts seattered to the four winds, hardly a joint left in integrity, That which in one second had been un implement of industry, in the next was turned into @ Bickle of death, reaping and mowing its vie~ tims in a swath confined vy no rule aud woasured by no regalarity, ‘The scene was one to appalthe stoutest heart, The Immense crowd, oaty informed enough to know that -a terribie accident had eccurred, swayed and surged like migaty billows, breaking oyer every conflue and Unreatentug to add to the list of deaths by trampling beveath thelr fect sone of the weaker and the smaller, who were reeling about 1a the yortex in ulter he'p.essness. First impelled by curiosity the jam was toward the spot from whicnce the sound came; the maimed and wounded lying about the vicinity were overwhelmed, aud doaotless some were Killed outrigat who might have lived had they been allowed er and given attention at once, When curiosity Was appeased by (he giastly sigats which met the eye, and when the people, in @ dazed and bewildered way, came to comprehend the character of the disaster a panic seized them, ana cven a more feariu! calamity was threat. ened through their terror, Stvenuous exertions Were made by the cooler and ner to quiet and allay excitement, aud after e © someting Uke order Was evoked and survey made Of the extent of the casualty, The engine was set up about seventy-five yards west of the Power Hall and the sawmill some fiity orone handred fect due north of tue engine, The force of the explosion seemed to be lateral. Heavy pieces of the macilaery were biowa to the north and to the west a long distance; 9 iow of the lighter parts were found seme distance to the east, but Imore were thrown backward, Those who saw i5 gay that nothing was thrown bigher than tairty or forty feet. The bodies of several were lifted into tho air and alighted in mangled and mutiiavea shapes many yards from were they were standing wuen struck with the steam. An idea of the force and power and the horror of tho explosion may be gathered from some of the incidents which we have been able to collate, Where the eugine stood was left no perceptible trace, except an area of smoked and blackened ground, Even the foundation had been torn up, and not a brick was left standing the one upon the other, The framing of tho sawmill was thrown askew, turned over, broken and dislocated, A large piece of the boiler, Which must have weighed 500 nogads. piece was thrown ciear Into the time track, and skipping over it buried itsef in the sod beyond. Another large piece was blown westward, clear over the dyke upon the cattle pens, It crashea through the roof of ove and struck a large ox on the horns, breaking of the tips, assing entirely out of the enclosure of the rair grounds One of the shalis, to which was atiacied an eccentric, was thrown sideways over Vower flail, aad iandeu at the side of Domestte Hall. One of the rods was twisted off and carried at least 300 yards in a north- easterly direction, striking ® man on the head who was standing not far from the amphitheatre, In aimosi every direction smaller pieces of the ma- chinery were thrown, and the air was literally full of aplinters, bo}ts, screws, nuts, pioves of rods and such of the lighter portions of the engine, Innu- merable are the stories told of how deadly missiles alighted just infront of people, arrested by a gra- cious Providence in their deadly flight. To attempt a pon picture of tie scene were folly. Imagine 15,000 people, pallid with fear, rushing and crushing to and fro, mpelied by a nameless somethin towards an undelinabio object; m:n bearing dead ant wounded into the various hulls. women shriexing and crying for fear their husbands, sons or brothers mightbe among the Killed; strong mea convulsed and in tears because temporarily separated from wives and children, and in suspense ag to their aafoty; hero stumbitng across tie mutilated form of &@ man, there appalled with the horrid eg beg ofa sknil absolutely stripped of its fosn; here an arm, there a pair of legs; here @ aide of flesh cooked until it looked like tripe, there @ pool of clotted blood; here a borse siruck dead in its harness, with the occupants of the cartage dumb and paisted with terror, All this, and more, infinitely more, must be imagined to fil in the details of a picture of which it were next to impossible to give but the fainiest outiines, In time, however, this Babel and chaos ceased, and the dead and wounded were gathered t ber, placed in wagous and started for the city, wiere they received every possible attention that sympathy and skill could bestow. Yhe procession of the maimed and biecding and of the corpses into the city was sad and sickening enough. J¢ was a forcible imitation of tiat spectral panorama of suffering tat enfiladed into the atreets of Washington city ou that Jaly morning when the federal hosis were beaten bags in viood and dis- may trom Bull Kaa, ‘The tidings of the accident reached town ina very few minutes, and Roon tho whole populace was aroused, Peunsyivania and Delaware streets, ay the prinetpal avenues from tho grounds, were lined With terror-stricken people, eager to hear the news.

PUBLIC EDUCATION. Opening of the Evening Schools. During the past two weeks tho principals assigned to the various evening schools throughout the city lave been engaged each evening in registering ana classifying applicants for admission to the schools for the ensuing term. This method was adopted so as to avoid any confusion at the opening of the schools, and also to do away with any pousibility of delay in getting to work. Last evening the schools Were opened, and the effects of the previous regis- tration and classification were everywhere apparent, At almost all the schoois the attendance was very large for the opening night, and at the evenii high school for males there was an actual crowd pupils, In the HgRaup of Septemver 26 there was pub- lished a full account of the establishment, work and progress of the evening schools in the metropois, ‘The rules of government and subjects to be taught in the schools were given in detail, The rules pre soribe that the schools shail remain open during eighteen weeks, from the first Monday of October, with the exception of the usual wiuter holidays; bat the high school is to remain open during twenty-four weeks, with the same exception. In many of tho schools classea have been formed for foreigners who desire to learn the English langu: and have proved in past sessions highly efMicacious, ‘The Committee on Normal, Evening ‘and Colored Schools of the Board of Education, of which Mr. Isaac Bell 13 chairman, visited a number of t schools Inst evening and expressed themselve highly pleased with the general neat appearance and good order. At the Svening High School, on Thirteenth street, there was a large attendance of visitors—friends of the puptis aud persons interested in edncatioual matters.
