[BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.) Tasuxznp, Turkestan, March 7, 1879. ‘The Afghan ambassadors have been noti- fied that their powers have expired. They will, therefore, return shortly to join Yakoob Khan, who is said to be still at Cabul, Their baggage has already left. The official report of Dr. Javorsky would go to show that Shere Ali died a natural death. No autopsy was made, The Ameer died on the 2ist of February, after two days’ agony. His sufferings were mitigated as faras was in his power by the Russian doctor, Javor- sky, who was sent for at the last moment. Immediately after the Ameer's death mas- Sacres were. begun by the three rival parties—thoseof Yakoob Khan, the present ocoupant of the throne, Azim Khan, Shere Ali's brother, and the dead monarch’s nephew. The second named was Governor of Mazar-i-Shariff, He is now a prisoner and his house has been delivered up to pillage. The party of Yakoob Khan having been victorious, he appointed a new Gover- nor, who at ten o’clock on the evening of the 22d sent and released Dr. Javorsky, the Rassian surgeon, who had’ been thrown into prison, The Governor, apprehend- ing danger from 15,000. infuriated soldiers who had been let loose, escorted him in person to the frontier. The Doctor is hourly expected to arrive in Tashkend. He brings with him letters addressed to ‘General Kaufmann and the Afghan ambes- sadors detailing all the facts of the Ameer’s death. The Afghan ambassadors are in flespair, and greatly disquieted about their families. They return to Afghanistan on the 7th. It is reported that Yakoob Khan has abandoned Cabul and retired to Herat. PASSANANTE CONVICTED. HE WOULD-BE ASSASSIN OF KING HUMBERT OF ITALY SENTENCED TO DEATH—PROCEED- INGS DURING THE TWO DAYS’ TRIAL—TERROR OF THE PRISONER—TESTIMONY OF THE MED- ICAL EXPERTS—HOW PASSANANTE WAS QUES- TIONED. . {BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.) Narxzs, March 8, 1879, The trial of Giovanni Passanante, de- scribed as a pastry cook and “a hater of kings,” for the attempted assassination of King Humbert of Italy on November 17 of last yeam came to an end yesterday after- noon with a verdict of guilty and the usual sentence to death. The date of the execution has not been announced, and opinion is almost unanimous that King Humbert will commute the sentence of the Court to penal servitude for life. This belief is based on the precedent furnished by thé punishment meted ont to the men convitted of throwing bombs during parades in Florence and Pisa, on which oc- casions several people were killed. An im- portant difference between the two crimes exists, however, in the facts, first, that as capital punishment no longer ex- sts by statute in Tuscany. the King doubt- less wished that the law of the province shoald be paramount, and, second, that the attack of Passanante in the streets of Naples was directed solely agninst-the per- son of His Majesty. Even in the liberal _Italy ot to-day there is great difference be- tween murder and attempted regicide. Signor Cairoli, ex-President of the Council of Ministers, who was riding in the carriage with the King, Queen and Prince Royal at the time of tho attack, was examined at Yeaterday'’s sitting. Ho testified to the general facts already known to the world, and described the way in which he was wounded in the defence of the King. The captain of cuirassiers, who witnessed the attack and aided in the arrest of the ambitious regicide, was next examined. Nothing new was elicited from either of these witnesses, their testimony being substantinlly the same as given at the first examination, im- mediately after the arrest. This closed yes- terday's proceedings and the accused was conducted back to the prison of 8. Fran- cisco, where for the past two months the wretched man has been subjected to all manner of inquisitorial treatment by the President of the Naples Court of Assize. To such an extent was this scientific and legal inquisition carried that the Naples magistrates were severely censured in the Chamber of Deputies by Taiuni, tho Minister of Juntice. The session of the trial yesterday was in many respects an exceedingly paintal spec- tacle, ‘Lhe prisoner's advocate asked that the trial proceed in the absence of Passa nante, stating as a reason that the excite. ment of yestorday’s hearing had completely prostrated him. On the demand of Com- miendatore La Francesca, advocate for the Prosecution, this request, however, was refused, and after a brief interval the trem- bling cook was brought in. It was a sad sight, however grave the offence with which he stood charged. He was weeping vio- lently, and after entering the court room endeavored to hide himself be- hind a pillar in order to avoid the staring throng,that filled the apartment. The sentiment among the audience that filled the court room was clearly adverse to the prisoner at the bar. Passanante made repeated efforts to divert the course ofthe trial into a discussion of the prin- ciples he professes, Once, when called to order, he excited grgat amusement among the unsympathetic spectators by declaring that if he was not allowed to speak he mght as well go away. Then followed the reports of the medical examiners, Scveral of the most noted mad- house keepers in Italy, who had been sum- moned to Naples to examine Passanante as to his sanity, were heard. They detailed, severally and®* collectively, the various psychological tésts to which the be- wildered cook had been subjected. The vehement assertion of Passanante that he was thoroughly sane appeared to have had great weight with all the specialists, The testimony of all the wit- nesses went to show that Paossanante was perfectly sane. This being established, together with the fact that he was the man who had made the attack, conviction was already looked upon as secured. The speeches by counsel occupied little time, The jury, after deliberating only a few minutes, rendered oa verdict of ‘‘guilty.” The sentence to death was delivered from the bench in the usual manner, and tke Court adjourned. The delay which occurred in bringing Passanante to trial might have been avoided if the Cabinet had gonsented to his crime being treated as against the safety of the State and to his being tried by the Senate. The majority, however, yielded to the prevalent aversion to capital punishment by causing the trial to be be- fore the ordinary tribunals. They are supposed to have placed the King in the quasi necessity of commuting the death sentence, SPAIN AND CUBA. GENERAL MARTINEZ CAMPOS FORMS A NEW SPANISH MINISTRY—OVERTHROW OF CANOVAS DEL CASTILLO. [BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.) Mapnip, March 7. 1879. General Martinez Campos has formed s new Cabi- net, which has received the approval of King Al- fonso. The overthrow of Canovas del Castillo and the retrogressionists is signally complete. The Ministry stands as follows:— General Martinez Campos. . Minister of War snd Presi- dent of the Council. Sefior Melans..............Minister of Foreign Af- tairs, Sefior Silvels.. -Minister of the Interior. Sefior Ayala. ++++-Minister of the Colonies. Admiral Pavia. Mivister of Marine. Count de Toreno -Minister of Works. ‘The Marquis of Orovio....Minister of Finance, Sefior Aurioles.............Minister of Justice. The new Ministers have taken their oaths of office with the exception of Sefior Ayala, who declines to serve on account of ill health. Orovio will take'tho Ministry of the Colonies ad in- terim in addition tothe Ministry of Finance. Gen- eral Martinez Campos has suggested to the King the appointment of General Blanco as Governor General of Cube; and as the Genoral’s influenceéseems to be paramount in Spain now, the recommendation is equal to General Blanco’s appointment. THE REAL CAUSES THAT LED TO GENERAL MAR~ TINEZ CAMPOS’ RETURN TO SPAIN. Advices received from Havana through trustworthy sources state that information has been received in that city from Madrid throwing mach new light upon the real cause that led to the departure of Cap- tain General Martinez Campos for Spain. It appears that General Campos proposed to the Minister for the Colonies certain administrative and financial reforms of the greatest importance, and that the Minister, after a Cabinet council on the subject, answered that it would be convenient to leave the proposed reforms aside and look for other means for improving the situation of the island. ‘ro this General Campos re- plied that he would be delighted if the Minister of the Colonies would come personally toCuba, in order to convince himself of the necessity for these Proposed reforms. This the Minister declined to do, because he was not authorized to act independently, whereupon the General requested that permission might be given him to explain personally to the King and his Ministers the reasons which impolled him to propose the reforms. The King acceded to this request. Thus General Campos wae not expressly called to Spain by the King, as was reported, in order to take. charge of the office of Minister of War, or to replace tho President of the Ministry, Seiior Canovas del Castillo. General Mar- tines Campos’ views appear to be in harmony with the personal opinions of tho King. Gcnoral Campos is ot present the most prominent person of Spain, less by reason of very extraordinary talent than on ac- count of his firm will, united with great pr°bity and clear understanding which teach him that the time has come when Spain should do away with old proju- dices. GENERAL EUROPEAN POLITICS. EFFECT OF THE FRENCH MINISTERIAL CHANGES — IMPEACHMENT OF THE DE BROGLIE CABINET DECIDED UPON—THE ORIENTAL QUESTION— BISMARCK'S GAGGING BILL DEFEATED, [BX CABLE TO THR HERALD.) Loxpow, March 8, 1879. The recent French Ministerial changes give the pure Left exactly one-half the posts in the Cabinet, M. Lepére, Minister of the Interior, is an advanced Gambottist; M. Waddington, President of the Coun- cil and Foreign Minister; M. Say, Minister of Finance; Admiral Jauréguibarry, Minister of Marine and General Gresley, Minister of War, may be considered as of the Left Centre. This is a considerable shifting of the Ministerial contre of gravity in favor of the Left. In the de- bate on the Merchant Shipping bill M. Lepére stated that the governniont is in favor of bounties on ship- building, but noton the equipment. The Times’ Paris it remarks that the government's agree- ing to the bounties at the last moment is another proof of their lack of resolution, and {a a bad omen for their firmnoss relative to commercial treaties. The Paris Moniteur has reason to belleve that all the French ambassadors abroad will resign if the Cabinet is overthrown. The Revolution Francaise has boon fined 3,000 francs for publishing articles written by Valles and other condemned Communists, . THE DK BROGLIE CABINET, The Committee of Inquity have decided in favor of the impeachment of the Mi of the 16th of May (the de Broglic-Fourt ‘and the Minis. try of General de Griman Rochebouct by a vote of 21 to 7, A Paris despatch says that the report recommending the impeachment of the Ministry of the 16th of May and the Rochebouet Ministry, will be presented to the Chunber of Deputies on Saturday, and the Ministry will demand that the debate be fixed for Monday or Tuesday, The committee arrived at ite decision, notw The Marquis de standing the remonstrances of Ministers Waddington, Le Roy and Lepere, who attended the last sitting and declared they were more than ever opposed to im- Peschment. La France, of Paris (radical), says it is generally supposed that the Chamber will adopt the committee's report, as many members of the Left Centre have been requested by their constituents to support it. THE ORIENTAL QUESTION. [BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.) Lonvow, March 1, 1879. The correspondent of the Times at Constantinople saye that the International Commission at Philip- Popolis has lately made-rapid progress. Some of the Commissioners now confidently expect that the statute for the organization of Eastern Roumelia will be completed before the Russians begin to retire. Referring to the statement that an offi¢ial communi- cation peoeived by the Porte states that the Western Powers are disposed to insist upon complete execu. tion of thé Treaty of Berlin, &c., the Times, in its leading article, points out that, Mr. Bourke, Under Foreign Secretary, replied very satisfactorily to various questions in the House last: night that the Russians were certairfly expected to evacuate Rou- melia in the time allotted by the Berlin Treaty; and as regards the entry of the Turkish troops hb would only refer to the treaty, which said the Porte’s troopa would be able to garrison the frontier and have power to enter in' the event of disorder. The Times further says:—‘‘Everything will depend npon the resolution manifested by the Powers during the next few weeks. If any symptoms of wavering in our adherence to the terms of the treaty are dis- cernible there are plenty of agitators Yho will make the most of the opportunity, but if the futility of their efforts is certain beforchand they will not be made. Should a conference be deemed advis- ‘able to consider such difficulties as have inevitsbty arisen, it should be clearly laid down beforehand that no proposal can be even entertained altering any particular on which our government laid stress at Berlin.” A despatch to the Times from Tirnova states that it is said a compromise has beon effected between the extreme and moderate Deputies, by which the former agree to proceed with tho discussion of the constitution and the latter consent to postpone the election of a prince until it can be made for Eastern Roumelia as well as Bulgaria, Moanwhile a fegency seems to be contemplate 1, FURKEY, GREECE AND BULGARIA. A despatch to the Times from Constantinople says the Porte has concentrated three brigades at Nevro- kop, Melenik and Gumurdoina to repel incursions of Bulgarians into Macedonia. It is expected that the Turkish troops will enter Adrianople on Sat- urday. A despatch from Constantinople says:—‘*Coratheo- Gori Pacha has notified the Greek Minister here that the Turkish troops have dispetsed the band which en- tered Thessaly from Greece recently, killing several of the raiders. Coratheodori Pacha adds that the number and equipment of the raiders proved that they were not brigands, as the Greck government alleged.” BISMARCK'S GAGGING BILL. Loxpox, March 7, 1879. The Parliamentary Discipline bill has beon re- Jected in the Reichstag. The Reichstag has also re- jected a motion from the conservatives for rendering the standing orders more stringent, but adopted the proposal of Baron Stauffenberg for a committee to report to the House whether its regulations re- quire modification. The Berlin correspondent of the Daily News, reviewing the attitude of the free traders, says:—‘Tho word compromise is abroad, and points which lend themselves to early concessions are openly betrayed. The leading part in a compromise is as- signed to Herr Delbruck. He will probably decline it as inconsistent with his principles, but even if he fails, there are but too many liberals who will make any sacrifice to avoid a rupture with Prince Bismarcs. Prince Bismarck has the chief option in the matter. I do not believe he will oxert himself much to come to an understanding with the present Reichstag.” ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY, MB, JAMES M'HENRY'S CIRCULAR TO THE BOND AND SHAREHOLDERS.

He left Gallipolis at nine o'clock this morning, amid the cheers of the populace and the strains of music. The first few miles were made in ordinary time, but soon Boyton began to spurt and the remainder of the journey was remarkable in point of rapidity. Raccoon Island was passed at ten o'clock, making eight miles in an hour, about doubling his ordinary speed. The steamer Iizzie Johnston passed him near Chambers- burg at noon, the passengers greeting him a loud cheers.

JAMES RB, KEENE'S NAME SIGNED TO A BOGUS , DESPATCH AND THE CHICAGO WHEAT MARKET BROKEN BY AN UNAUTHORIZED SALE. The announcement thet the price of wheat in Chicago had been knocked down by means of the forged signaturo to a despatch of the name of Mr. James R. Keene caused # sensation among the speculators of this city last evening. Mr. Keene's large operations in wheat have been s theme of discussion for ‘a long time, and his pur- chase of 3,000,000 bushels in Chicago at an average price of less than eighty cents per bushel was an- nounced in the Hrratp during the early part of the winter. Last evening at tho Hotel Brunswick Mr. Keeno stated to a reporter that his name was forged Thurs- day night to a half rate telegraphic message to J. K. Fisher & Co., grain brokers, of Chicago, directing them to sell 3,000,000 bushels of wheat on Mr. Keeno's account. This caused the decline in wheat in Chi- cago yesterday from ninoty-six to ninety-three cents per bushel at the morning and afternoon boanis. Mr. Keene knew nothing of tho transaction until the afternoon, and he repudiates the entiro sale, which will compel the repurchase by Fisher & Co. of the amount sold on his account. Mr. Keono says ho had no intention of making any sales of grain at present, and certainly not at ninety-three cents per bushel. The message was sont through the Atlantic and Pacific Company, and, Mr. Keenc states, was evidently the work of an agent in New York of a conspiracy formed in Chicago by parties who wore largely short on provisions and who hoped by breaking the wheat market to cover their sales and buy long. Steps have been taken to discover the author of the tele. gram. Mr, Keene says suspicions are strong against what is known as the provision clique of Chicago. A large reward will be immediately offered by Mr. Keene for the discovery of the forget aud his asso- ciates. The original copy of the despatch is now in Mr. Keene's possession. ALD SORTS OF RUMORS, The news of the forgery was much talked of in the uptown hotels and clube last evening. One gentle man related the way in which the forgery was, <is- covered in this fashion:—Mr. Keene received, td his gteat surprise, a despatch from his Chicago brokers saying, “Have sold half a million of your wheat.” Immediately attor he received a second despatch, “Have sold anothor half million.” Ho telographed them, saying he had sont them no order to soll, but before they heard from him the entire 3,000,000 bushels had been disposed of. The signa, ture to tho despatch is said to have been simoly “tieone,” withous the initiels J. B, NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1879.-TRIPLE SHEET, SOUTH AND CENTRAL AMERICA, THE REVOLUTION IN ANTIOQUIA—SEVERAL BAT- TLES SAID TO HAVE BEEN FOUGHT—BOLIVIA AND THE NITRATE QUESTION. Pawxama, Feb. 25, 1879. The revolution in Antioquia is now said to be at an end, although advices concern ing the whole affair bear the stamp of uncertainty. The first report received from Buenaventura was to the effect that the conservatives of Antioquia, one of the largest States of the Con- federation, had rieen against the general government. Antioquia is a conservative stronghold, and it was within its borders that the last revolution origin- ated—one which threatened even the integrity of the union itself, Several battles have taken place, one at a locality named “Alto Pelado,’* in which it is reported that ‘700 conservatives laid down their arms.’’ Another, at a place known as the Cuchillon, which resulted as disastrously as the former for the revolutionary cause. These re- verses, in addition to a few others of less importance, broke the strength of the movement, and latest advices are to the effect that order and quiet were being restored in the State. The President of Antio- * ‘an official telegram, thanked the Pres- ite the State of Cauca for the valuable assistance he had rendered in the emergency. BOLIVIA BAD AS EVER. Affairs in Bolivia are in a very unsatisfactory con- dition. A famine is raging in the most f por- tion of the country—the ict of Cochamba. In different localities of the it from eight to ten persons Cae | of starvation. In one small town 206 persons died from want of food in twenty days. A serious question regardii meeprting she. right to tax the nitrate worl at Antofagasta and in other pale the Republic threatens to precipitate the blic into a war with Chili. By a treaty between the two republics the nitrate works, which are the property of Chilians and worked mostly on Chilian of ‘every Kind ‘xcept that which might be. Imposed of ‘except wi it be im by the municipalities. Lately the government at La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, decreed an export duty on all nitrates exported from the country, on the ground that the treaty celebrated with Chili, and which secured exemption from taxation, was made by a revolutionary government whose acts were not acknowledged by the existing governmont. The owners of the nitrate establishments have to ee the tax. Orders of arreat and imprisonment ave been issued against seems, their agents or fac- tors, in Grete ral miany of whom have taken re.uge on board the Blanco Encalada, a very formida- ble Chilian iron-clad, which is now in that port. PREPARING FOR @VAR. From Limia advices have been received that Bolivia is seriously preparing for war and is purchasing arms, &c. The Chilian government has sent the Ad- miral Cochran, a sister ship of the Blanco En- calada, to Bolivians ports, and so far as the naval part of any possible fight is concerned Chili can dominate the whole Bolivian coast. In the event of any struggle with the Argentine Republic on the question of bow es Bolivia could inflict serious injury on the northern provinces of Chili, AMUSEMENTS. ACADEMY OF MUSIC—IL FLAUTO MAGICO, Signor Frapolli he Prente Due Uomint Armati. Monostatos.... Due Oratori { re Gent} Le Tre Damigelle Dolla Regina Papagena: - Mme. Sinico Pamine Mme. Marie Roxe Astrifia me. Etelka Gerster An immense audience last night occupied the Academy of Music to enjoy the presentation of Mozart's opera, ‘‘Il Flauto Magico,”’ by Ber Majesty's Opera Company. It is safe to say that it has never been presented with more successful scenic ex- cellence or greater dramatic effect. The chief artists being Mme. Gerster and Mile. Marie Roze, much curiosity was exhibited with reference to their re- spective personations. « It is needless to say that both of them fairly di- vided the honors of the evening. The opera is one that calls for a strong cast, and, as may be noted above, Colonel Mapleson ted his best artists. It was generally con that Mme. Roze never looked or sang more exquisitely than she did while Tepresenting the character of Pamina, a part with ies taamente she been identified during a long oper- experience, or that Mi Gerster ever more saperbly ly interpreted the part of Astrifammante. The ik of the vocal work rested upon Mme. Roz’, and her fine mezzo soprano voice, beauty of person and elegance of dress, all combined to make the occasion ‘one that will be long remembered in musical circles. Signor Frapolli lacked the power that is required in the ropresentation of his part, but compensated for his deficiency in this respect by earnestness and taste. Signor Del Puente as Papagena was admirable, and with M. Thierry, who ited Monostatos, mre 4 the house in good humor from beginning to end the representatives of the comic element. The Papa. oan of Mme. Sinico, the rich vocalism of of Signor Pyati as the Priest, the fine contralto of Mme. Lablache, heard in the trio of “Geni,” and the deep, sonorous vigor of Signor Foli as Sarastro also command praise. The “Magic Flute” offords much opportunty for scenic , and the management last night left nothing undone in the way of choral or scenic effect that was needed to emphasize their pu eo so sup- ply the public with » better rendition o e opere than it has seon for many years. “Carmen” will be given at the matinée to-day. ACADEMY OF MUSIC-—-FIFTH PUBLIC REHEARSAL OF THE PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY. The audience that assembled at the Academy of Music yesterday afternoon was composed chicfly of ladies. It was large, and from an amateur point of view critical. From the satisfaction expressed it is fair to assume that the entertainment was in every way pleasing. The first number on the programme was Mozart's symphony in C, a composition that is quite familiar and yet always welcome when in- terpreted by a congregation of true artists, led b; such conductor as Neuendorf. The allegro move. ments seomed a trifle slow, and the concert to-morrow evening will doubtless show a de- cided improvement. The second feature on the programme was a concerto for piano by Ignaz by Mr. Richard Hoffman. The theme is neither novel nor elaborate, and yot it affords so excellent an artist as Mr. Hoffman the op unity of introducing many admirable effects suited to his style, which is one that illustrates what may be called the lighter poetry and embroi of music. He does not ambitiously attempt to make a sensation by an assumption of unnecessary grandeur, and yet, preserving artistic vigor, develops i his theme with werlth and beauty of expression that is suggestive and educational. The serenade in G was a gem and afforded ample opportunity to the Philharmonic Society to exhibit its splendid practice with henge bo representing the beautiful measures of Fuchs. ie last feature of the ys ga was tho “Poemoe Symphonique,” by iszt. This also was rendered with the rfection and enthusiasm that attach to thoroughly artistic work. Mr. Neuendorff, as a conductor, is evidently quietiy moving into the place that has been occupied by Thomas and is giving the public the best of music. The fifth concert will take place this evening, when the programme will be repeated. HOTEL ARRIVALS, Insurance Superintendent John F. Smyth is at the St. James. Congressinan Joseph G.
