Nothing but prejudice has deprived us of a most a|q>etizing dish, and with this indorsement from Capt. Reid, we may expect to see alligator steak occupy a prominent place on the table- of the Putnam and Larkin next winter. It shonld he taken from young specimens not too fat, and should 1* broiled quickly ami eaten, like fish, immediately. Mr. Young and Com- ■ mod ore Root tried only cuts from old 'gators, and, of course, declared the steak tough and of poor flavor. The same would lie true in such case of lieef or vension.

Recollections of manv feasts make us sigh at the thought of wasteful preju dices.” LUIOU'S WORK AXI> PAY. The Waltham M atch Company Reduces Its Working Time Two Days For Meek.

PITTSBCRG, July I.—An Athens, Ohio, special says: “The general coal miners strike that has been inaugurated through out the Hocking Valley threatens to be attended J>y more serious consequences than any similar movement that has transpired since the development of the coal resources in this section of the State. Five thousand or more miners whom the strike wholly throws out of employment, have during'the spring and summer been working on but partial time, and, as a very large portion of them have families dependent on them, the inauguration of the strike finds,an im mense number destituteof mean* for sup port. It is evident that considerable alarm exists on the part of those owning inter ests in the several mine corporations of the valley. Already in large numbers of instances the local representatives of these corporations have applied for spe cial police protection. Further develop ments ol the strike are awaited with so licitude on the part of the residents ol the valley.” It AII.HOAD SHOPS CLOSE. Columbia, 0., July I.—The shops of the Columbus, Hocking and Toledo Kail road closed to-day, throwing 300 men out of employment. This measure was taken because of the strike of coal miners.

Randall Uncork* Hl* Eloquence and Indnces the House not to Give in on the Naval Bill’* Disputed Point*— Hope* of Final Adjournment on Satur day Still Nourished. Washington, July l.—ln the Senate to-day Mr. Harrison, from the Committee on Military Affairs, reported the House bill providing for the establishment of a branch soldiers’ home west of the Missis sippi. The bill was at once amended by substituting the Senate bill for the same purpose already passed, and as so amended, it was then read the third time and passed. Mr. Cockrell, from the Committee on Mili tary Affair*, reported favorably with amend ments the House hill relieving from the charge of desertion soldiers who served until the ex piration of their terms and are improperly charged with desertion, or who for any other cause are improperly so charged. The bill, after amendment, was passt and. As passed it requires that applications for the relief pro vided for shall be made within live years from the passage of the act. Mr. Logan reported from the Committee on Military Affairs, and the Senate, after amend ment, read the third time and passed the House hill amending the seventy-second article of war. ft provides that anv general officer commanding an army, a territorial division or department, or Colonel command ing a separate department, may anpoint'gen erai courts martial whenever necessary, but whenever any such commander is the accuser or prosecutor of any officer under his com mand the court shall he appointed bv the President. The joint resolution introduced yesterday by Mr. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, directing the Secretary of the Treasury to redeem f 10,- 000,000 worth of trade dollars at their face value was laid before the Senate. Air. Morrill moved to refer the resolution to the Committee on Finance. On this Mr. Cameron called for the yeas and nays. Mr. Morrill’s motion was agreed to, and the resolution was referred accordingly by 36 yeas to 20 nays. Mr Butler called up his resolution direct ing an investigation into the condition of the New York banks, adding to it a clause au thorizing the investigating committee to sit during the recess of Congress. Mr. Morrill moved reference of the resolu tion to the Committee on Finance, which was agreed to by :!9 yeas to 16 nays. The vote in detail was as follows: Seat— Messrs.

Says —Messrs. Butler, Call, Cameron of Pennsylvania, Cockrell, Farley, George, Gib son, Hampton, Morgan, Pendleton, Pugh, Slater, Vance, Van VVyck. Voorheee, and Walker—Total 16. RIVERS ANI) HARBORS. Consideration of the river and harbor bill was then resumed. In the course of the debate Mr. Frve. in defending the bill, said that he had gone into the Committee on Commerce with the idea that trout streams were receiving appropri ations, but he found that he had to aoandon it. There was no stream receiving an appro priation that was not certified bv an engineer officer of the United States to need mueli more than the Committee on Commerce here appropriated for it. Mr. Call moved several amendments to in crease the appropriations for rivers and har bors of his State, among them being the fol lowing: For Cumberland Sound to 4150,000, for Apalachicola Bay to 420,' 00, for Pensa cola harbor to 4100,000, for Tampa Bay to 430,- 000, for Manatee to 410.000, for Key West to 4100.000, for St. Augustine to 410,000, for St. John’s river to 415,000 and for St. John's bar to 4250,0C0. The amendments were not agreed to. Mr. Call remarked that since the Senate did not apparently consider Florida in the Union for purposes of that class of amend ments he w ould move to insert the harbor of Charlotte, Fla., as one of the harbors to be surveyed. This motion was agreed to. Mr. Jones moved amendments to increase appropriations as follows: For Pensacola har lir to 455,000, for Cumberland sound toslio,- 000, for the mouth of the St. John’s river to 4175.000. These amendments were lost, but at a later stage Mr. Jones succeeded in securing an increase for Pensacola to f55,000. Mr. George renewed bis efforts of yesterday to increase the appropriation for continuing the improvement of the Mississippi river, and moved that the amount be increased from 41,- 250,000 to 42,250 000. After some further discussion Mr. George's motion was voted down. Sir. Hoar closed the debate in a long speech upon the general policy of this country in relation to internal improvement and protec tion against hostile invasion. At the conclu sion of his remarks the bill was passed. As originally passed by the House it appropriated 412,008.400. The Senate committee added to it 41,268.000. and the Senate itself has made a further addition of 4230,500. making the amount of the bill as it now stands 413,308,700. Mr. Allison, from the Committee on Appro priations. reported the sundry eivil bill, aud gave notice that he would call it up early to morrow, and added that if Congress was to adjourn this week, which was desirable, the bill would have to lie completed to-morrow. There would then be only the fortifications bill to be considered. The Senate then went into executive ses sion, and when the doors were reopened adjourned. IN THE HOUSE. In the House to-dav Mr. Randall submitted the report of the conference committee on the naval appropriation bill, announcing its ina bility to agree. The explanatory statement which accompanies the report specifies the chief items of disagreement to be the appro priations Tor new cruisers and for the continu ation of work upon t lie double-tnrreted moni tors. There are o'her points of disagree ment, Imt the conference committee thinks that these differences could be easily adjusted if an agreement could be reached upon the two items specified. Mr. Randall said that the Senate seemed to have a lurk ing hope, which either ought 1 1 bm affirmed or dismissed by positive actiniF on the part of the House, that ultimately the House w ould recede from its disagreement to these two amendments. Understanding his dutv as he did, and lie thought he spoke for his Democratic colleague on the committee, Mr. Hutchins, he said deliberately that noth ing but instruction from the House would in duce the House couferees to yield these two points [applause on the Democratic side], because they had not that confidence in the manner of construction of the cruisers that warranted further expenditure of public money in order to duplicate them. That judg ment was not based on their own knowledge of the subject. Naval Constructor Wilson confirmed that judgment as to the construction of the vessels and the highest scientific mint} in the navy, Mr. Isherwood, declared that the engines pf the vessels were not such tvs they should be. He might rest the of the committee on the opinion of the.-e authorities but he was will ing to go farther, and say that there was not thrown around these propositions that safe guard iu the expenditure of money which present circumstances, known to the country, warranted, and which should be thrown around the department which was now the subject of investigation. Next, ss 'to the monitors. That subject was a mattef which had been considered in the last Congress, and the House bad not appropriated a dollar for their completion. The Senate h*d incorpo rated an appropriation in the navy bill, and in a sort of coercive way the House had been com pellet! to yield. He did not altogether object to the pending appropriations on the score of economy. He based his opposition on judg ment which he would call into action upon matters relating to his own private afl'airs. lie wautei} it known, in conclusion, that he did not want ativ man to give a wavering vote on tide question. He wanted every man to remember, so far as he was able, his final and conclusive purpose in regard to the mat ters iu controversy, because, as he had said [ before, there was nothing that would induce the present conferees to yield on these two lHiints except a direct vote of tlie House, and when that vote was given he trusted that the House would select some other conferee be sides him. [Applause ou the Democratic side.] THE PROPOSITIONS PRESENTED. Mr. Calkins, of Indiana, said that the first proposition presented to the House was whether the building of the navy should be delayed for another year, or whether Con gre.-s should take another step in ad vance. The next proposition was whether Congress, after having expended millions of dollars in building four monitors should cease work on them. The cruisers in course of construction had been severely criti cised. lie admitted, but U 0 per cent, of ail the brains of the American navy had said that the vessels would lie the best of their class in the world. Ho did not care whether the appro priations for the monitors was made at pres ent, for in the course of time they must be completed. He was sorry to hear the gentlc mau from Pennsylvania refer to the fact that an investigation ’was in progress iu the Navy Department which in some way militated against further use of money by that depart ment. The investigation hnd nothing to do with the new cruisers or with the monitors. Mr- Randall admitted that that was so, but asserted that it should have its effect upon members in appropriating money for a de partment where there hatf been maladminis tration. Mr. Reed, of Maine, criticised Mr. Ran dall’s objection to the disputed clauses, assert ing that they w ere intended only to mislead the country, and declaring that if sincere they might be easily removed by • slight modi fication of the items. Mr. Randall said that he was perfectly will ing that the country should judge of the sin cerity of his objections. The conference report was agreed to. Mr. Calkins then moved tuai the House te cede from its agreement to the steel crui sers' amendment. THE HOUSE IMMOVABLE. This was lost by 90 veas to 147 nays. The following Democrats voted with the Republi cans in the affirmative: Messrs. Belmont, Dorsheimer, Ftnerty. Morse, O’Neill of Mis souri, and Sumner of California. A similar motion in r< gard to the monitors' clause was also lost by 85 yeas to 139 nays. The Haiise further insisted on its disagree ment, and Messrs. Rantall, Holman and Calkias were appointed conferees. SAVANNAH, WEDNESDAY. .JULY 2, 1884. Mr. Townshend, from the ccgnmittee on conference on the post office appropriations bill, reported a failure to agree. The only points in controversy are those reducing by 6 per cent, the compensation to railroads for mail transportation, reducing to 50 per cent, of this amount the compensation of land grant roads for similar service, and increasing from 44-000,000 to 44,300.000 the appropriation for railway mail clerks. Mr. Townshend said that it was impossible for the conferees to come to any agreement. The House con ferees were willing to make a compromise, but the Senate demanded an unqualified and complete concession on the part of the House. After further discussion Mr. Horr moved that the Houe reeede frfim its disagreement to the Senate amendments touching rompersutlon to land grant and other railroads for mail transportation. This was agreed to bv 116 yeas to 102 nays. THE BILL DISPOSED OF. Mr. Horr moved to recede from the dis agreement to the Senate amendment increas ing the appropriation for the compensation of railway mail clerks, and the motiou was agreed to by 123 yeas to 99 uavs. This dis poses of the bill as far as the House is con cerned. The House then, at 4 o'clock, went into committee of the whole, with Mr. Blount, of Georgia, in the chair, on the fortification ap propriation bill. Mr. Hewitt said that as between the two bills he preferred that of the minority. He thought that the majority bill was unneces sarily liberal for the wants of the people. Mr. Randall maintained that there was no immediate necessity and no prospective ne ces-ity for the armament contemplated by the majority hill. That bill involved an expendi ture of several millions and ultimately meant an expenditure of more than one hundred millions. Air. Ellis, of Louisiana, advocated the ma jority bill. He had heard more errors stated in the course of this discussion than he had ever heard liefore in debate. -Many who had spoken had proved their utter and absolute ignorance of the subject. The defenceless condition of the country was con ceded. Did the gentleman from Pennsylvania 'Han<jall) deny it? Air Randall—There is hut one other thing defenceless, and that is the Treasury of the United States. Mr. Ellis—The Treasury is amply defended so long as the gentleman from Pennsylvania insists that taxation shall not be reduced at one end and that nothing shall be spent at the other end. Mr. Randall—We will discuss that ques tion when it is in order. Mr, Ellis—You voted against considering OUR DEFENSELESSNESS. There were, Air. Ellis said, 15,000 miles of sea coast in the United States, including over 300 cities, which embraced 11,000,000 of people, and nearly one fourth of the entire wealth of the nation, that were absolutely at the mercy of whom- Of a powerful nation like England! Certainly of France! Certainly of Germany! Certainly of any other powerful nation! Certainly what more of Japan, of Mexico, of Chili, of anv little insignificant power that happened to have an armored vessel with ten inches of armor and capable of (jetting into American harbors! That was a disgraceful condition of afliurs in the first place, anil was a dangerous condition of affairs in the second place. He denied that the ma jority bill marked a departure from the settled policy of the goverumedt, and de clared that it was but a re turn to the splendid policy of the Democratic party before the war. He called attention to the length of time which would be required to construct guns of an approved pattern, and inquired whether Congress would wait to read its duty by the fi.ames of its burning cities, invaded by for eign foes. If we would preserve peace let us be prepared fbr war. If we would resume the spirit of our forefathers let us make every city by llie sea and every liartior which floated our commerce safe and secure. The clerk then proceeded to read the bill by paragraphs. Air. Randall raised the pointof orderngalnst so much of the first paragraph of the majority bill as provides for the construction of new works at the deep water harbors of the coun try, but subsequently withdrew the point and offered the bill reported by the minority of the Committee on Appropriations as a substi tute for the majority bill. On a verbal amend ment to the substitute no quorum voted, and after the roll call it was agreed that the sub stitute should he reported to the House and a vote taken on it to-morrow morning. The committee then rose and the House adjourned. KELLOGG FACES SPRINGER. The Ex-Senator Makes a Defense of Brady and Himself. Washington, July 1.-Ex-Senator Kel logg, at his own request, appeared before the Springer committee to-day to make a statement relative to liis connection with the star routes. He said: A nll mtier of the witnesses before tins com mittee have been dwelling on my indictment as an offense involving bribery. There is no charge that 1 paid Gen. Brady anv money whatever. I utterly deny telling' Banker Walsh to put one-half of a certain amount to my credit and one-half to Gen. Brady’s. Ref erence has been made to my having secured an increase on two routes from Alouroc to Shreveport, and from Corpus Christi to San Antonio. lf|Gen. Brady was called,and should swear to the truth, as [ believe be would, I believe that he .would swear that 1 never ap proached him, directly or indirectly, as re gards these expeditions.” Air. Kellogg read a letter signed by Senator Alaxey. of Texas, recommending an increase of service on the San Antonio aud Corpus Christi route. He said that in justice to Senator Alaxey there was no question as to the propriety of the ex pedition. A letter was also read indorsed by then Representatives Elam and Robertson, of Louisiana, recommending an increase in the Monroe and Shreveport route. An increase, the letter said, was necessary. Air. Kellogg’s name appeared as follows: “I concur in the above. w. P. Kellogg.” The route ran through a portion of Mr. Elam’s district, adjoining which was the district of Mr. Robertson. Mr. Kellogg continued: “The committee cannot find the slightest proof that I rendered any service whatever except that single indorsement. BLISS’ STATEMENTS. “Col. Bliss, if not another member of the prosecution, has said rejieatedly that there were missing links, and that it could not be proven. 1 got an increase. Nowhere does Mr. Price state that I said that ! would go to Gen. Brady and procure this service, or that it would be procured by my service. J will give the names of four or five gentlemen to whom Mr. Price has said that I tiad noth ing to do with securiug the service.” Air. Kellogg referred to the alleged payment to him by Mr. Walsh.of one-half of the Price drafts and a note amounting to 410,000. He said that Air. Walsh had importuned him toaid in prosecuting his claim against Gen. Brady, but lie had not rendered the aid. He said fur ther that he did not receive money from the drafts or note as charged. Air. Walsh, he tes tified, had borrowed S6,'COO from him in New Orleans in 187f, The money that lie received from Air. Walsh grew out of this business transaction, and was in no way connected with the star route service or political matters. Mr. Kellogg said that he did not believe that Mr. Price desired to make the affidavit which he gave to the prosecution, but that lie was sick, aud wishing to fet “from under” the imlictffient made it. te said.ps Air. Merrick had previously testi fied, that Mr. Price’s son went to Air. A’lerrick to see him relative to his father’s indictment, and that Mr. Alerrick told him that if his father would prepare a statement, and it was satisfactory, he might be granted immu nity. A statement was prepared, but it wa* not satisfactory. Afterwards Mr. Woodward was requested to see Mr. Price and secure, if jiossible, additional information against Mr. Kellogg. Mr, Woodward had an interview, and an affidavit, Air. Kellogg said, was obtained which was satisfactory to the government. The committee expect to have Attorney General Brewster as a witness to-morrow or Thursday. ADJOURNMENT SATURDAY. Randall and Allison Confident That Congress Will Wind Up its W’ork This Week. Washington, July I.— Members of the two houses ask Chairman Randall, of the House Appropriations Committee, and Chairman Allison, of the Senate Appro priations Committee,every day when they think an adjournment of Congress will be had. So far both gentlemen have uni formly said: “On Saturday, July 5.” In order to adjourn comfortably on that day it will be necessary to pass the de ficiency, the diplomatic, and the naval and the army bills, which are in confer ence, the sundry civil bill, which will be conlidered in the Senate to-mor row for the first time, and the for tifications bill, which will pass the House to-morrow. Mr. Randall thinks that they can all be pased by Sat urday, except the naval bill, as to which the two houses seem to be able simply to agree to disagree. In this case the dif ficulty can be obviated by adopting a res olution extending the appropriations ot this year for the Navy Department until Congress necls again. Mr. Randall de feated the friendsof the Navy Department in the House to-day. He had fifty major ity against, the additional steel cruisers proposed by the Senate and against the completion of the moni tors. He received many compliments in the course of debate. The most flowery was that of Mr. Culkins, ot Indiana, wLo called him the Gladstone of America. There are some members of both houses who wouid like to see some further attempts at leg islation before adjournment, futile as they mitrbt be. but a majority of the members on both sides, express a’ great desire to get away. Wade Collectors of Customs. Washington. July I.— The Senate to day confirmed Charles E. Robinson as Collector of Customs for the District of Albemarle, N. C.; Dennis Eagan as Col lector of Customs for the District of Key West, and Benj. Upton, Jr., as Collector of Customs for the District of Rappa hannock, Va.; George Joy, Collector of Customs for the District of Cherrystone, Va., and Thomas N. Green as Postinaster at Birmingham, Ala. FITZ JOHN PORTER’S BILL. Powerful Influence* Tugging at the President with Contrary Aim*. Washington, July I.—The Cabinet was in session to-day until nearly 5 o’clock. It was discussing the Fitz John Porter bill. At the capitol the opinion prevailed that this was the tenth day from the day when the bill w as presented to the President, and that therefore he would have to announce its fate this alternooD. This was a mistake. The bill after its passage was presented to tie President by Gen. Slocum and Gov. Cur tin on June 21. Two Sundays have to be taken out of the succeeding period, so that the ten days limit expires on Thurs day. The general belief among Senators and Representatives who share the Presi dent’s confidence is that he w ill veto the bill. If he does so it will be against bis own judgment, and on account of the urgency of the majority of his Cabinet, backed by a personal appeal from Senator Logan and all the Congressional influence which the opponents of Fitz John Porter could command. Gen. Logan represented to the President that his signing the bill would damage- the chances of the Re publican ticket this fall. The President has throughout tak?n Fitz John Porter’s side. The friends of Fitz John Porter are still hopei 1 that his bill may be signed, but they admit that the chances are now against it. They are falling back upon the theory that the President may neither sign nor refuse to sign, thus permitting the bill to become a law. The enemies of Fitz John Porter say, however, that the President wilt veto the bill as a matter of political necessity. It is a long time since such powerful in fluences have been brought to bear ou the President as in this case. Herders Suspicious of the Indiaus. Washington, July l.—A disnatch has been received at the Interior Department from a number of large herders in Mon tana, statin” that about 900 Comanche Indians fro# the Pine Ridge Agency, in Dakota, have left their reservation'and are now on the Rosebud, Powder and Horn rivers in a starving condition. Stockmen fear depredations on their cattle and desire the department to take immediate action looking to the recall of the Indians to their agency. The Com missioner of Indian Affairs has instructed the agent at Pine Ridge to investigate the truth of the statements. Milks City, Mont., July I.— The com mittee appointed by the citizens of Eastern Montana telegraphed to Secretary Teller urging the immediate removal' of the Northern Cheyenne Indians now on the Tontt'ue and Rosebud rivers. There are more than 900 without rations and starv ing, having nothing to subsist on except •range cattle, which they are killing in large numbers. Stockmen will make armed resistance if they are not moved, and the result will be serious trouble with ttie Indians, who are independent and ugly. The Indians are renegades from Pino Ridge and have no agency or agent here. The situation is serious. ’ The Bureau of Labor’s Head. Washington, July I.—The bill estab lishing the new Bureau of Labor Statis tics became a law to-day. This fact in creased the eagerness with which the claims of the respective candidates are being pressed. The leading candidates in the order in which they are said to stand now are: John Jarrett, ofPittsburg, T. V. Powderiy, of Scranton, and Miles Hum phreys, of Pittsburg. Charles S. Hill, of the State Department, the well-known scientific statistieiau, has been suggested to the President by distinguished New York merchants, whoare friends of both gentlemen, as being just the man for the place. But it seems probable that the place will be given to some representative workingman. The position has a salary of 43,000 a year. The Comparative Statement. Washington, July I.—The compara tive statement for the present fiscal year, prepared at the Treasury Department to day, shows that the expenditures since July 1, 1883, were 4245,000,000. This gives a surplus of 4103,000,000, which is about 418,000,000 more than the estimate given by the Secretary of the Treasury in his last annual report. . Compared with the preceding year the expenditure of the gov ernment has decreased 420,000,000, but for the same period the receipts show a fall ing oft' of 450,000,000 for the month of June. The receipts compared with the corre sponding month of last ymti' show a fall ing off of $8,000,000, while the expendi tures for that period are about the same, or nearly $16,000,000. Fencing in the Cattle Trail*. Washington, July I.—The Secretary of the interior has received telegram's from cattle men at Dodge, Kansas, com plaining that the Cherokee Stock Associa tion, who have leased a strip of land in the Indian Territory traversed by the es tablished cattle trails between Texas and Kansas, have closed the trails with wire fences and offered armed resistance*lo the progress of the cattle droves. The Secre tary has accordingly instructed Inspector Benedict to go at ouee to the region of the disturbance and take active measures to open and keep open all established cattle trails that may be found closed. The. Debt Statement. Washington, July i.— The debt state ment issued to-day shows the decrease of the public debt during the month of June to be $9,217,256; the decrease of the debt since June 30,1883, $101,040,971; the cash in the Treasury, $391,985,928; the gold cer tificates outstanding, $98,392,660; the silver certificates outstanding, $119,811,- 691; the certificates of deposit outstand ing, $12,385,000; the refunding certificates outstanding. $290,000; legal tenders out standing, $346,681,016; fractional currency outstanding, not including the amount estimated as lost or destroyed, $6,980,061; the available cash, $139,887,439. ' Threatening the Quorum. Washington, July I.—Fifteen or twenty Democratic Senators intend to leave by special train for Chicago Satur day morning should Congress not adjourn by Friday night. The absentees, being paired with Republicans, will break the quorum and make the transaction of any but unobjected business, of which there is very little left, impossible. The Drisko Outrage. Washington, July I.— The State De partment has not as yet received the report of our Consular Agent at Cardenas, Cuba, on the Cuban outrage upon the Philadelphia schooner Drisko, May 20 last. The State Department will 'take vigorous measures as soon as the report is received. Washkigton Territory’s Governorship. Wa/hington, July I.—The President to-day nominated Washington P. Bquire, oi Washington Territory, to be Governor of Washington Territory. The Sunday Law to be Enforced In Mil waukee. Milwaukee, July I.—The Citezens League has decided to attempt the en forcement of the Sunday law, which de mands that all saloons shall be closed on that day. The move will necessarily in clude a dozen large parks under the man agement of leading brewing companies and the Germans, who will resist the move, together with 1,000 saloon keepers now licensed. The law has been utterly disregarded, every form of the liquor in terest running wide open. The first and test case will be that of a saloon called the “Y. M. C.,” recently opened next door to the Young Men’s Christian Asso ciation, and which took that name. The association members were strenuous in their opposition to granting a license to this saloon, but the Council sided with the saloon keepers. A Man Dying of Hydrophobia. Pittsburg, July L—A young man named John Donaldson while walking along Ohio street, in Allegheny City, last evening, was suddenly attacked with all the symptoms of hydrophobia. He was removed to the Central Station, where it took live men to bold him all night. He howled and barked like a dog, frothing at the mouth and exhibiting a de cided aversion to water. This morning he was no better, and the physicians have no hopes of his recovery. Two years ago in Portland, 0., Donaldson was bitten by a dog supposed to be mad, but as the wound healed rapidly no alarm was felt about it. Orangemen on Parade. N'fwry, July I.—The Orangemen to day celebrated the 140th anniversary of the battle of the Boyne. On the hilltops bonfires blazed and were lighted, as they were aUo in various parts of the town. A procession, headed by brass bands, marched through the streets and carrying an effigy marked “The Traitor Lundy,” which was afterwards burned. The po lice dispersed a crowd of nationalists en gaged in stoning the procession. What a Tedious Time. “Benson’s Capcine Porous Plasters cured me of a chronic affection of the kidneys.” S. T.

CUBA’S HATE OF THE YOKE. Costello Admits That the Revolt Ex tends to Every Part or the Island. Madrid, July I.—ln the Chamber of Deputies yesterday Senor Valdosera in troduced a bill providing for the improve ment of the situation of affairs in Cuba.

Havana,July I.—A report is current that Captain General Castillo recently consulted the various provincial Govern ors of the island regarding the adoption of more vigorous measures for the re pression of the revolutionary factions. Only a few days ago small parties of in surgents devastated plantations at Moria and Lowrich, when troops arrived too late, and even on their march lost some prisoners they had already made. They had a profitless light with a force en trenched in an empty house. This ill-ad vised way*of contending with the rebel lion Las suggested to the Captain-General the idea of forming in each rural district flying columns to prosecute the war just as it is prosecuted by the insurgent bands. He is said to have discovered that the present disorders are different from those of the first Insurrection, when the rebels were massed in several eastern districts, leaving the rest of the island compara tively quiet, and when they .re peatedly risked an engagement. Now, on the other hand, it is admitted that the insurrection is at once every where and nowhere, and troops are har assed by marching east and west, con tending with an invisible enemy. Thus the soldiers are growing fatigued and dis satisfied, while the inhabitants are in volved in general bankruptcy, which par alyzes all trade, and for these several rea sons it is asserted that the Captain-Gen eral wiil at once change the present method of warfare, and will allow the proposed general assembly of the corpora tions of the island to consider the means of remedying the situation, an assembly which a few months ago he refused to au thorize. EXPLOSIVES FOR THE FILIBUSTERS.

The plan is for her to run into Hillsboro Inlet and there to be met by a small vessel to take and land stores at Torch Key or Sugar Loaf, where the filibusters propose to establish secret magazines. DIAZ CONVICTED. Diaz, the Cuban who came back in tbe schooner Shavers, was convicted to-day of a violation of the neutrality laws by aiding in fitting out an armed expedition against a friendly power. The jury wete out but a short time. Another curious feature in the mystery of the Aguero matter has been made public to-day. Among the papers left here by him w'as a letter front a promi nent and influential Spaniard, who had traveled with Gen. Aguero from New Orleans to Key West and then proceeded to Havana, leaving Gen. Aguero here. OFFERS OF MONEY, During the voyage the matter of the contemplated raid was discussed, the Spaniard endeavoring to dissuade Gen. Aguero on account of the disturbed state of Cuba, and assuring him that large sums of money would be contributed by the people of Havana tor his benelit % in which contribution the government would probably Join 11 he would desist from liis purposes. The letter states that the writer had seen Captain General Castillo, who had said that such matters were not so arranged, that he had at heart only the peace, happiness and prosperity of the country, but that if statements w’ere made through proper diplomatic channels, guarantees given or some legalized method adopted of reaching the matter, it may be considered. AGUKRO’B REPLY. Gen. Aguero replied, saying that sim ultaneous with the receipt of his letter he should be in Cuba ready to continue cor respondence. PROMINENT CUBANS FINED. New Y ork, July I.— Senor Ramon Bar rento, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Cuba, who, with his nephew, Santiago Alanazo Borrento and Francisco Figueras were arrested last night and locked up in the police station on a charge of disorderly conduct, were arraigned in court to-day and fined siq, each, which they paid and departed. CUBA’S TRADE W ITH AMERICA. The Danger of the YVest Indian Sugar Trade Clearly Foreseen. Madrid, July I.—An important inter view* occurred yesterday between John W. Foster, American Minister, and Senor Canovar del Castillo aud Senor J. Deel d’ Nayen, Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Spanish Minister showed a desire to ar rive at an equitable commercial arrange ment. Mr. Foster assured them that America was. animated with amicable views regarding trade with Cuba, and as far as possible would feel inclined to meet tbe views of Spain and Cuba, lie de clared that America had no desire to an nex Cuba now nor at any future time. America had no wish to assume further political responsibilities. He thought, however, that something must be done for Cuba quickly, as Mexico had obtained by treaty the privilege of Importing sugar into America free. Unless Cuba and the English West India Islands secured equal terms it was evident that their best mar ket was lost. MORGAN’S SONS SLED. Allord & Cos., the Paris Banker*, Seek ing to Recover Valuable Letters. New York, July I.—Suit has been com menced in the Court of Common Pleas by J.

Pier son, Postmaster ot this city, for an in junction to restrain the delivery of cer tain letters to any other persons than the agents ef the plaintiff. Believing that Morgan’s Sons were sol vent, on June 18, 19 and 20 the plaintiffs sent registered letters which contained coupons and money aggregating $6,100, to be disposed of by Morgan’s Sons for the plaintiffs’ benefit. In consequence cf the failure of Morgan’s Sons, Allord & Cos. made a demand for the letters, but Morgan’s Sons said that they had made an assignment, and declined to comply with the request. The Postmaster de clined, and said that he would have the letters given to the persons to whom they were addressed unless otherwise in structed by the Postmaster General. An order was granted requiring the de fendants to show cause why they should not be enjoined from receiving or trans ferring the letters to any other persons than tne plaintiffs’ agents here. To-day an injunction against the Postmaster was vacated and an order was granted au thorizing Assignee Dixon to receive and open the letters and to deliver copies of them and their contents to Allord’s agents.
