GENERAL GRANT.
ateceptton of the President Elect in
Mew York,
from the 2T. Y. Tribune of this morning.
General Grant, of the United States Army,
and President elect ol the United States, accom
panied by bis wile and General Deut aud Colo
nel Badeau, arrived in this city yesterday morn
ing by the owl train from Wnstb.lDe.ton, and is
now stopping at the Metropolitan Hotel. The
General was not generally expecW, aud there
fore very tew persons were awure of his pre
sence in the city until the appearance of the
afternoon paper. Ou the train with the Gene
ral and his party was Secretary Seward, who
came on to attend the funeral of Mr,
lilatchford, wife of Judge Blatchlord. Ou arri
ving at the nepot the distinguished vWitor was
immediately driven to the Metropolitan Hotel,
where he was quickly accommodated with a
room on the pallor floor. After partaking of
breakfast the General and Mx.s Grant started on
a snopT'imr tour, each going in a different direc
tion. In the afternoon the O'neral took a rule
in the Park with Mr. ltobert Bonner, behind his
last mare rocabontae. During the day the Pre
sident elect was visited by Generals McDowell,
lleatzelniau. Doubleday, Ingall., Sickle", But
tcrueld, and Walleu; also Judge Duly, B. Dela
field Smith, Hufus F. Audrew, A. X S ewart,
and other citlzeuF. It was not until after
supper that the General determined ou
visiting any place of amusement. Shortly before
8 o'clock he started for the Olympic Theatre",
accompanied by General Dent aod Colonel
.badeau, ot his statf. While descending t Lie
stftirs of the hotel he met Mr. A. T. Stewart aud
wife, who had come to escort Mrs. Graut to
Niblu's Tneatre. Kxchangiog a few words with
Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, he descended to the main
hall, where about a dozen per.-.ons wera stand
ing, most of whom were ut aware of the presence
of the distinguibbed visitor. After waiting a
moment lor Geueral Dent to join him, he passed
Into the street, and ou foot proceeded to the
Olympic Theatre. It was almost evening before
a private box was engaged, and when the Gene
ral and his companions passed into the thcare
not even the ticket-taker knew of his presence.
Mr. Tajleure. the manager of the theatre, had
not even the opportunity of decorating the
box, or of bringlue: the orchestra together
to play "Hail to the Chief." The General passed
down the parquet to his box unobserved. After
he had taken his seat the gas was turned on full,
and then he was quickly recognized, and there
was a spontaneous burst of applause from the
crowded audience. The Geueral rose and bowed
au acknowledgment of the compliment, aud the
orchestra plajed "Hail to the Chief." During the
entire performance the General seemed very
much interested in the play. He frequently
laughed outright at the antics of "Humpty
Dumpty," particularly when he performed the
flank movement aud took possession of the pig
pen, from whence be hurled bricks at the panta
loon and the lover. Between the acts some boys in
the gallery became uproriouc in their demands lor
a speech, when the General retired to the rear of
the box, where he remained until the beginning
of the second act. After the performance a
large portion of tue audience lingered for some
time around the entrance, in hopes of getting
another look at the Geueral. Bit he disap
pointed them by leaving at the stags entrance,
under the guidance of Mr. Dud', the proprietor
of the theatre. Walking leisurely through
Crosby and Houston streets to Broad way, the
General reached the hotel without any demon
stration, where he was joined by Mrs. Grant,
who, accompanied by Mr. A. T. Stewart and
wife and Judge Iltllou, bad visited Aiblo's
Theatre to witness Miss Hero a periorm in the
character of "Camiile." About 11$ o'clocit
the General and Mr. Warren Lelnnd entered the
supper-room, where there were about a half
dozen persons, and, without any interruption,
the landlord and guest sat dowu and eijoyed a
quiet supper. During the entire day there was
hardly any demonstration whatever. Wherever
the General, went, every person appeared to
resptel his unostentatious manner and disincli
nation tor noisy demonstrations. Ttie General
was dressed in civllan attire, and his appear
ance with a beaver sack overcoat and blsck slik
hat was anything but military. Tue General
and his party leave to -day tor West Point, where
they will remain over Sunday,
"llrick" Poineroy on the General's
Arrival.
The N. Y. Democrat, the orean of the "Red
Hot" Demo racy, thus speaks of Geueral Grant's
presence iu Gotham:
The patent cigar holder is in town. The
Lilands bseeed him, of course. That's right;
for if any n an knows a borse when he sees
him, it's Uncle Sim; if anybody understands the
value of a cigar, it's Warren; and if any one ap
preciates a good lunch, it's Charlie; aud the
Metropolitan flies the flag of lh nation in his
honor. Sundry eminent contractors have called
at the image's rooms, but he was out looking at
horses. When he returns from West Point he will
spend a week but nothing else in the city,
and the membeis of too Union League are
already preparing little schemes for his enter
tainment. Humor has it that on Sunday he
will go to Beecber's church in the morning and
smoke in the evening. Monday he will open
the new portion of Ktewart's stoie, ask lor a
little peace, and order some Indian blankets.
Tuesday he will visit the Democrat office,
examine the Bullock presses, subscribe for the
weekly, and order the daily to be teut to
the White House. Weduesday he will ba
driven to Jerome Park in the morning by
a- committee of the League, and iu the
evening will attend private theatricals at the
club theatre, on which occasion the Worlfs
farce, called The Pauper, the Editor, the Turn
coat, and the Bondholder, will be produced, wl'h
a strong cast; scene laid in New York. Thurs
day, he will sleep and smoke until eight o'clock,
at which time he will proceed to Stewart's pri
vate box at Niblo's if he admires any or the
girls iu particular, they can be introduced
through the private door covers laid lor f ur.
Friday, be will loaf and enjoy his sail until
evening, when he and his staff will atteud
prayer-meetings at some orthodox dog-pit.
Siturday, he will depart for headquarters
wherever they may be.
IMP OR T ANT S UIT.
A Case Involving 835,000,000.
The Boston Traveler of Thursday evening
sajs:
Among the decisions in important lawsuits
tow pending in the United States Circuit Court,
that in the case of Mrs. Edward H. Green (nee
Miss Hetty Kobicson). in equity, vs. Thomas
Mandell et si., is perhaps the most interesting,
and we are happy to inform our readers that
the long-expected decision will be mare ou
Saturday next, at 11 o'clock, in the Circuit
Court. The history ot the parties conuee'ed
with the cae, the facts at issue, aud the
grounds on which the plaintiff claims to have
the will of her aunt. Miss Uowland, set aside,
have been frequently stated lathis and other
Journals. It is said that the decision will
turn upon three questions involved in the
will: First, whether a contract for mutual
wlls, if proved, can be enforced, as being with
out consideration aud against public policy aud
good morals. Second, the question of fact
whether such a contract, as It is alleged was
made.was actually made; and third, whether the
duplicate second page of the aunt's (Howlaud)
will la genuine, and which pretends to give all
bcr property to her niece (Miss Robinson), the
terms of tue other any original wills notwith
standing. It was alleged that the signatures to
each of the papers were forged by tracing irom
the signature to the will ot Miss Howlaud. The
report that the complainant in this great case
died in a foreign land a few months since Is
without foundation; but it Is quite certain that
if she wius her case, when her child shall have
come of age it will be worth about $35,000,000.
If Hetty is defeated her heir will get $28,368 000,
a sufficient sum to make it happy or miserable

"ON T0t CUBA!"
Important Plans ot the Filibuster
Developed.
The N. Y. Sun, which has gone Into the wo k
o'l lerreung out the plaus of the filibusters
created by the World, gives the following la its
iesue of yesterday morning:
The ciy "On to Cuba!" still rages. The head
quarters of the Liberating Army werscrowdod
yesterday with excited volunteers and revolu
tionary enthuf lasts. The Colonel's (Gibbons)
brother, who does the real estate business at the
establishment, raved at the blockade of his
office, when tenants were waiting outside im
patient to pay their rents. A supernumerary
corps could nave been raised on the spot, but it
was not wanted. The army Is organized, mus
tered, and ready lor war. Near recruits must
wail till the next performance.
Our reporter entered into an ante-chamber aod
found the Colonel's brother sktiug at ease in an
arm-chair. He looked wiih surprise at the un
expected arrival, aud remarked, "Around
again? but you can't get much lo-nipht. They
are holding n secret meeting In the back room.
Even I am not allowed in there." Our reporter,
however, not bafllcd by this reception, t ok a
seat anu opened a couveratiou with the cider
Gibbous, who gave his views ou the impending
f xpeili'ion: "I myself was oppo-ed to tne
Cold el's having anything to do wl'h this
scheme. The time hasn't come for It it) one
sense; but perhaps I may be nus
takee There are a great many military
men in our larae cities who have notiiiar, to
do, and it is easy to enlUt all such lu auy cause.
1 know not that a large fore? is organized. Not
n single expedition has lutt this country which
I haven't bad something to do with. Mv bro her
lias tnteied into this movement with all bis
soul, and so I help him bv advice, but other
wise 1 remain neutral. To day some of the
ftieiid8 of General Lopez sent us the flag he
floated. It Is a lone star on a red field, with
al ernate red and blue stripes. It will be the
banner ot this expedition. This morning a gen
tleman ott'ired to equip the expedition, and he
is now in the council; also an agent of oue of our
steamship companies is in there."
At this point, about 9 o'clock, the door
opened, and Geneial Kerrigan, with Colonel
Gibbons, entered the room where our reporter
was sitting.
Coionel Gibbons Ab, yes, you want our pro
ceedings; but 1 am Borry to say they are secret;
however, there are some minor details you can
have.
The Colonel then introduced General Kerri
gan to our reporter, and the three sat down.
General Kerrigan We are now only waiting
the arrival ot a prominent Cuban from Havana,
who is the prime mover in our scheme in
Havana. Then we shall go for them.
Colonel Gibbons A committee, consisting of
General Kerrigan, Major Charles O'Roorke. and
mjself, has been appointed to go to Washington
as delegates from the insurgents in Cuba, to
represent our intentions.
General Kerrigan We are not going to vio
late any neutrality laws. Tbo-e Cubans have
invited us over there, and we ouly accept the
invitation. What we want Is simply to ask
r-eward to protect our property, guns, ammuni
tion, etc.
Colonel Gibbons Our staff Is male up as
follows: William Sweetman, Commander of
the naval forces; Dr. J. B. Loby, Medical
D.rector; Colonel James Lamb, Chief of Ord
nance; Major William Dowuing. Commissary;
Colonel Tresillen, Chief Engineer.
General Kerrigan Sweetman is a splendid
captain. He knows every rock arouad Cuba.
He can sail without a chronometer, and go it
"blind."
Colonel Gibbons General Basil Duke, Gene
ral Forrest, and General Blair have S'guitied
their willingness to co-operate with the move
ment provided no neutrality laws are violated.
General Kerrigan You see this Is a b'g
thing. We take Cuba, and then we have on our
hands an army of 40,000 men. We'll sail to the
iNtbmus, capture that, aud sell out to the
United States for $3,000 000. Another thin,
we are polng to have a mass meeting here soon
to get the tone of th public on this scheme.
Reporter You will waut a reporter ou the
expedition?
General Kerrigan Ob, you'll get the report
of our guns. That's all the public wants.
This discharge levelled our reporter, and the
chiefs retired to the council chamber.
The secret conclave numbered aboat forty
persons, among them leading fusil tiers, valiant
stunts, bold navigators, princely Cuban", aad
the redoubtable Colonel.
The Wor'd'a renorter had ano'her interview
wih Colonel Gibbous, la wb'ch he inquired
whether or not the Colooel would give him any
statement, of a direct or explicit kind, concern
ing their financial condition.
Colonel Gibbons At present our great and
only needed source of revenue is In the hauds of
the Cubans themselves, for they have luvited us
to come to their aid; and this General, acting
for the Cubao revolutionists, has charge ot tne
entire finances, aud he has been lavishly pliei
with gold by the revolvers. Auy funds got
up in this aod other cities will be for the
purpose of supplying any extra wants of our
men. I should here tell you, he continued,
that an address to the Cuban revolters h'ia
been gotten np by the promoters of the move
ment in New York. In wnich the latter strongly
urge them to persist in their patriotic emiea
ors, and cheer them with the news that there
are thousands in the United States willing to
sacrifice themselves In the noble cause. He and
the others who were acting In this scheme were
acting on the principle of universal benevo
lence, and it is because of the anxiety to act
upou this maxim that we are to hoi la graud
nia-s meeting at the Institute, to which we
publicly invite all to come, for our great object
is to secure the co-operation of the multitude,
and we think we cannot better do this than by
laving our case before them in its proper light.
Reporter Can you tell me augut about the
navy jou are said to possess?
Colonel Gibbons We have several transport
ships, etc., as I already told you, aad our fleet is
lobe commanded byCaotaiu Sweetman, who
commanded the Kiln's Hope expedition to Ire
land, and who knows all i he creeks an. I cran
nies of the Cuban coast. He is, of course, a
thorough snnexatlonist.
Tbe Colonel next, in reply to some lnterroga
tones by our reporter, said that there were
12,000 standing rebels in Cuba already, who
were to support them on landing, and they
expected that when the first blow was struck
the ereat majority two thirds of tbe Cupau
people would hasten to their standard. Coloi el
GibDons then briefly reiterated some other facts
in connection with the movement which .we
have already giveu in extenso.
There will bo a second secret meeting of the
revolutionists on Monday evening next, wheu
he Washington delegation will report.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Report or the AlJiitaitt.Ueiieral of tlie
Army 'I lie Military Strength or tlie
A nt ion.
Washington, Nov. 14. The Adjutant-General
of the army has made his auuual report to thu
Secretary of War. The actual strength of the
regiments In the service on the 30;h of Septem
ber was 43,741 men, and besida these there were
4340 men in the Engineer, Ordnance, and other
special branches of the service. Au uuusually
large number of discharges have been
granted during the year on individual applica
tions, and these, with ordinary discharges
and casualties, are rapidly diminishing
the regiments, except of cavalry, which are
necessarily kept in force, because of the Indian
depredations. It is reported that 4300 men are
to be discharged before New Year's, by reason
of tbe expiration of their term of enlistment.
The number of desertions last year was 2700
less than in the previous year, and the number
of deserters arrested was nearly a thouiand
greater.and the proportion of losses by desertion
to the strength of the army is coml let ably less
than last year. Recruiting was carried ou for all
branches of the service until Nov. 26, 1867,
when orders were issued to reduce all regiments
of Infantry aud artillery, except the ten light
batteries, to the number of fifty privates per
company, and to reduce the recruiting service
by breaking up all rendezvous except four for
cavalry and four for infantry. Kocruitlng for
infantry and artillery was suspended April 3
18G8, except in cases of old soldiers desiring to
enlist; and on the 24th of July, 1868, instrus
tlons were Issued prohibiting all enlistments or
re-enlistments, except as musicians, of any men
in either of these two braucbes. It is added
tl at to still further reduce the expense and
strength of the military establishment,
the detachments at the recruiting depots
have been reduced as much as possible,
and the schools of instruction have been
suspended. No recruiting of any kind but for
cavalry has been going on since the end of last
July, and there are only five stations for
recruiting in this arm of the service. The
regiments on the Pacific const have, as far as
possible, to avoid expense of transportation,
been supplied with recruits obtained in Cali
fornia. The strength of all the colored regi
ments in the service is nearly up to the required
standard. The Ad)utant-General renews the
recommendation which he made last year,
namely, that men be enlisted for five Instead o(
three years. He further recommends that
Congress authorize the enlistment ot boys over
twelve years of age as musician, with the con
sent of their parents.
Tbe Adjutant-General speaks at some length
on the subject of military prisons. He says
that tbe present system of punishment in the
army not ODly fails to reform the men, but ten Is
to degrade them; and that by throwing hardeued
and desperate criminals into close c .intact with
young aud thoughtless soldiers, subjects the
latter to contamination by both precept and
exaa ple. He forcibly alludes to the evils of
guard-house confinement, and holds that tbey
are the fruitful cause of desertion. Herenmks
that men who have been guilty of offensei
against the civil law often enter the army to
escape the penalty of their offenses, and
at this time there is no way of getting
rid of these men; for if they are dis
charged from one regiment they will go
to another part of the country and enlist again
under other names. After speiklng further and
with much feeling and judgment on this subject
ot army discipline and punishment, the Adjutant
General declares again, as he did last year, for
military prisons. These, he says, if properly
managed would serve at reformatory institu
tions, and would rid the army of many vicious
and insubordinate men; they would materially
diminish the need and expeuse of courts
martial, prevent the discharge of many
desperate men in unsettled parts of the
country, where they always become pests
and outlaws, and would facilitate the
lecogmtlon of offenders against the civil law
who have entered the ranks of tbe army. He
proposes to build the first prison in New York
harbor, and if that is found to work well, then
he would have Congress provide for 'similar In
stitutions on Ship Island, at one point on the
Pacifio coast, aud at one point in the Mississippi
Valley, Tbe labor of convicts and the stoppages
of pay would, he thinks, nearly support each
prison after its erection. He would have
companies of discipline attached to each prison,
into which, under proper regulations, all idle
and worthless men of the class who prefer being
in the guard-house to doing duty should be
trausfened, and would have these vagabonds
severely dealt with. He sketches his plan in
detail, and suggests that it be submitted to Con
gress. Tbe report closes with tables showing
ihe number and rank of officer ia the Adjutant
General's Department.

DeatrncMve ConflasrrwUoii five Men
Injured And One It rued to Oentb.
SpetHal Desjtatch to The Evening Telegraph,
Boston, Nov. It. Early this morning an
alarm of fire was given, caused by a fire being
discovered in the large frame building on
Albion slreet, occupied by Messrs. McNeil &
Bro carpenters and builders. The flames
spread very rapidly In consequence of the dry
and combustible nature of the material, aud
rendered it impossible to save any portion of
tbe building. In the basement there was stored
from five to ten thousand dollars' worth of
builders' stock, the most of which is probably
destroyed. Recently there had been placed iu
the building a quantity of new machinery,
which is, of course, more or loss injured.
During the progress of the flames, and while
the firemen were exerting themselves to their
utmost, one side of the building lell lu, injuring

prove an actual loss of one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars.
FROM SOUTH AMERICA.
Arrived.
New York, Nov. 14. The steamship Henry
Chauncey brings Panama advices to the 5th,
and $659,088 in treasure from California.
The United States Consul
will, as other representatives of foreign govern
ments have done, advise Americans, if an lu
cres s commercial contribution Is enforced
against them, to file protests with him, and
they will be forwarded to Washington. Ue
regards the contributions as an extraordinary
tax. The various Consuls have united ia a
remonstrance against the tax, which is levied
to aid the revolutionists against the Govern
ment. Earthquakes
continued all along the coast ot Chill and Peru.
In Copiapo severe shocks have been experi
enced, doing considerable damage to property;
but no lives were lost. A very heavy one
occurred on the 13th of October, lasting nearly
three minutes, and another lasted four minutes.

A Bloody Civil War
lu Chill was imminent, growing out of the
support given Errazunz for the Presideucy.
- Australia.
Advices from Australia to tbe 8th of October
reached Panama ou the 4th Instant. The news
is unimportant.
GENERAL BUTLER.
His Kind Feelings for the South.
I ouisviLT-E, Nov. 14. The Courier and Jour
nal publishes to-day a private letter from Gen.
Butler, in which he says:
"That we are politically opposod, I think,
must arise from the different liht lu which we
see the same thing. The South has no firmer
friend than I am and ever have been. It Is a
part of my country, and although I may mis.
judge in the best way to preserve the South
from the consequences ot what I must regard as
agieatcrime, and, still worse, a blunder, yet 1
would do anything I could bo convinced would
tend to the prosperity, quiet, and regeneration
of tbe South as a pait of ray country. I bear
no hatrod towards the 8outh or Southern men
as such, it I know my own heart. But I am
opposed only to those who still war upon the
best Interests of the country as 1 understand
them, and that opposition, from the very
necessities of my nature, will be a stem and
unyielding one. 1 hope to see you and assure
jou in person that I can be as ardeut a friead
in peace as I was a determined aud unrelenting
foe in war."
The Courier and Journal says ol this:
"As a partt-an we have untiringly fired the
heaviest guns in our battery at General Butler.
When he soars higher and demonstrates that
his will is equal to bis capacity for good, our
guns shall all be spiked or turned upon those
who may assail his acts In our behalf."

- METEORS.
Brilliant Shower or trollies.
The New York Herald of this morning says:
About mlduight tbe heavens, which were per
fectly clear, were traversed by small meteors
which seemed like to fireworks. The directions
were from all parts of the heavens. About one
o'clock this morning the display became more
brilliant, owing to tbe appearance of nu
merous large and intensely bright meteors
which exploded like rockets, carrying a
thin cloud of what seemed smoke in
the bmens. One ef then large meteors,
at twenty minutes past 1 A. M. passed from
northeast half away across the heavens, and
when descending made a streak of intenicly
bright lh'ht, so bright that tbe letters on a.
newspaper could be distinctly seen. Another
such shot from the east at thirty five minutes
past 2 A. H., and lit up the whole sky with the
flash on exploding. The mniorlty of theie
meteors came from the . noi tuenst, but some
were noticeable coming from almost every
point of the compass. They averaged abut six
per minute up to 3 o'clock A. M.
It will be recollected th it this 1 the anniver
sary of the display in November, 1867.
