CUBA.
Jr'onltor) FltlinK Out for the lrot rtiim of Our
Interests A Hcmniid To He Made tor the Itt
Irsutr nf Ainrrlrnn Prisoners.
The Washington correspondent of tin: New York
Tribune telegraphed the following yesterday:
Cuban matters nre tiecomiug more important
and intcrcNtiiifir each day, the interest being en
hanced by the netion ol our own Ooverniiienj,
and the presence here of intelligent representa
tives from the insurrectionary forces, who are
daily gaining influential friends by the repre
sentations which they are enabled to g'.ve.
There can no longer be any doubt, of
the attitude of our Government in refer
ence to the American primmer held by
the frpanlsh authorities, nor of the. decision to
luaintuin a faithful neutrality us between the
contending parties on the island. There is
no doubt, however, that our Government
will unhesitatingly demand the immediate uud
unconditional release of all the American pri
soners, and that all efforts at interference on the
part of citizens of the United State will be pc
rcmptorily dealt with. This in rendered more
apparent each day by the action of the President,
and heads of departments. The Navy Depart
iucnt is especially active in its preparations to
prevent interference by our citizens. Rear-Admiral
1'oor, the commandant of the Navy Yard at
Washington, received Instruction to-day to
fit out an iron-clad monitor with all possible
despatch, and it is more than probable that
the is destined to swell the largely-increased
naval force in the West Indies, Telegraphic
orders liave also been sent to Commander John
II. l.'pshur to proceed w ith the apprentice-ship
Saratoga (.now at New London, Conn.), without
unnecessary delay, to Havana, and report for
duty to Rear-Admiral lloff. It is also known,
seiui-ofliclally, that instructions will soon be
Issued for the preparation for sea-service Of the
iron-clad monitors Dictator and Canonicns two
of the best vessels of their class in the possession
of the Government, and now laid up at League
Island.
Efforts are being made by parties belonging to
cither one side or the other of the Cuban diffi
culty, to open negotiations with the Navy De
partment for the purchase of a certain few of
onr monitors, and have asked the lowest price
which the Government will reeeive for them.
Secretary Boric and Admiral Porter, however,
arc wary of these overtures, and have thus far
declined to entertain them. Admiral Hotf
communicates to the Government the
fact that the Spanish authorities
have upon several occasions urrested American
citizens in Cuba upon the mere suspicion of their
complicity with the rebels. Frequently they are
held for a long time without trial, and when
their cases come up they arc discharged for want
of evidence. This practice has become so com
mon with the Spanish authorities that Admiral
lloff deems it his duty to call the attention of
the Government to the fact, in the hope that
Borne action may be taken to prevent such af
reets in future.
THE BRODHEAD MURDER.
alow They FHcnpcd from the rXtrnurlMhnrg Jail
The .Pursuit and Capture ol Orine.
A correspondent of the Scran ton ItepMican
furnishes the following additional particulars of
the escape from the Stroudsburg Jail of Brooks
and Orme, the announcement of which was
chronicled in The Evening Telegraph:
The episodes In the Brodhead murder case are
many, exciting, and varied. The hist chapter
was heralded in by the ringing of alarm bells
in Stroudsburg, ut about 3 o'clock on Saturday
morning lost. The citizens thus, awakened
listened to hear the cry of fire, but heard instead
'the prisoners have tied." Very soon there was
a large rally at the jail of a very excited multi
tude, armed and unarmed, on horseback and on
loot, eager for the chase.
It seems one of the prisoners feigned sickness,
and at length tumbled down on the floor of the
cell as if in a fit or spasm. The other one called
to the old jailor, who was watching in the hall,
and asked him if lie would come in and help him
lift his companion on the bed. The old man
' unsuspectingly unlocked the door of the ($11,
leaving the keys sticking in the lock. The pri
isouers at once'sprang to their feet, commanding
ttie jailor to keep still at the peril of his life.
1 heir hopples and handcuffs they had previously
removed without keys by hammering them open,
and they now sprang out, closing the cell door
on the old jailor, and were soon ut liberty out
side the jail. They hod failed to lock the jailor
in, so in a few minutes after their escape the
bells rang out the alarm, and at an early hourthe
chase began. Couriers on horseback were sent
out in every direction, whilst those on foot touk
to the field's and woods. A bloodhound brought
from ,'lersey for the purpose seemed to indicate
' that the fellow s had made for the Pocouo Moun
tains. An examination of the enpty cell led to the
discovery of an opening in the wuli almost, sulii
ciently large to have admitted their exit from
thence. It was made by sawing out a piece
from an oak plank about VI or 14 inches wide by
two Inches thick, and then digging almost
through the main wall of the building. The
sawing seems to have been doue in the usual
prisoner style, with a case-knife filed for the
purpose. It must have taken many hours of
labor. The stones taken from the wall were hid
in their bed. Why they ehoe to operate on
the old jailor instead of this opening we know
not,
Throuirhout Saturday the excitement was very
great in Stroudsburg and vicinity, and business
came to a halt equal to the day of the murder.
The Sheriff had offered a thousand dollars ro
wurd, private individuals had added other hun
dreds to the offer, and the pursuit was vigorous
and earnest. Up to Sunday morning nothing
had been heard from the criminals. Many of
the pursuers had returned, declaring the chase
in vain. At length, at about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, it was rumored that they had been
captured. Soon after a crowd approached
Stroudsburg, when it was fouuil that the pri
soner, Orme, was iu custody, while Brooks was
still at large. ,.,.,
Not being accustomed to exercise, they had
found it difficult to flee from their pursuers, and
were found in a barn of one Mr. Long, on Sunday
morning, only a few miles from Stroudsburg. A
boy had gone Into the barn, and on getting hay
for his horsel had eoiuo upon them. They asked
him if he would betray them. Ho said no.
Going to the house he told his father, who came
to the barn and promised the same thin.;. He
took them to the house, gave theui something to
tat, and while they were eating Long set out for
, Ktroudsbnrg, where he inquired if he would get
the reward if ho informed the authorities where
the prisoners were. Being answered lu the
affirmative, he told the story, when a party
hurried back to the scene. Arriving at
Ixmg's it was found that not only were tho
fugitives gone, but Long's homes also. The
party followed hastily on and soon came In sight
j1 the tleeiug convicts. There, seeing their pur
suers, and not being accustomed to horsobaek
riding, left the horses and the road and took to
the woods in opposite directions. Orme was
soon overtaken, when ho turned around, threw
open his arms, and begged to be shot on the
hpot. But he was returned to the jail. It is re
ported that he said if ho had known the boy
would have revealed their whereabouts he would
not have left the burn alive, it Is also said that
as he (Orme) was weakly and could not travel,
he urged Brooks to leave him at the barn and he
make hi escape, but that Brooks refused to
do so.
The Governor lias not yet fixed the second
appointment for the execution.

om Our Own Oorrvtponttent.
Nrrw York, April 0, 18W.
The business habit and talents that dis
tinguished the late Sir Edward Cunanl, for more
than thirty years a resident lu this city, are
know n all over the world, but his social qualities
and the social esteem in which he was held arc
not so well known. He hod used his tliirty
years residence iu the mid-t of tis with eqnal
aptitude ;n a social as in a business ppberc, and
had made himself very many friends. Though
an out-and-out John Bull in many essential Johu
Bullisms, he was yet a rcvercneer of much that
was American, for the simple reason Chat It was
so. He never carried nrouud with h'.m any of
thofe aristocratic "airs" which a-c iui re
pulsive to refined republicans as the
assumptions of the parvtnu are to tho best peo
ple of any society. His death, pronounced by
some to be apoplexy, by others to be heart dis
ease, resulted from a simple cold that was ne
glected. Moderate care might have pro
longed his existence for many years, for he was
but lifty-threc at the time of his death. He hod
been for many years a communicant at Grace
Church, where the obsequies are to be com
memorated to-morrow. His wife has bee,u par
ticularly liked and distinguished among the
ladies of New York society for her gentle and
unobtrusive bearing. Sir Edward may be al
most raid to have divided his allegiance between
the (Jueen of England and the President of the
United States, and was as good a subject of both
as the discrepancies Implied in such a condition
would admit of. Since his death the Hags of the
British Consulate have been at half-mast.
A funny, but almost fatal, atttempt at suicide
has been made by another escaped convict from
Blackwell's Island. The escaped one's name
is Fay, although I believe he has no connection
with the Davenport Brothers. Whilst walking
along Twenty-sixth street, he says he felt him
self "impressed" (as the mediums say) to take
Ills life precisely as the clock struek the hour of
noon. The thickness of Mr. Kay's frontal bone
T u m not. ncminintcd with: tint, this has nothlnfr
to do with the fact that the bullet wa.s arrested
thereby and flattened as flat as a penny, more or
less. It almost rolled out upon the pavement,
leaving the victim unhurt; and he forthwith an
nounced his ability to walk, audbe conducted
to the nearest apothecary shop. Since then he
is pronounced a very promising lunatic, and
bids fair to bid good-bye to Blackwell's alto
gether. Mr. Collector Grlnncll, since his return from
Washington, has been so badgered and beset by
office-seekers, that as a desperate remedy he has
reduced the number of days on which they can
be admitted to his presence to three, and the
number of hours upon each of those days to one.
No changes have as yet been made, und the
thousands who have crowded aromid the Custom
House doors since April Fool's Day are in a state
of blissful philanthropic ferment and expec
tancy. As tilings were, oidy one applicant at a
time was admitted; and as the same rule obtains
under the new regulation, yon may imagine the
applicants' state of mind and body.
Between two and three mouths ago two
wretched-looking indices of human nature, Ed
ward Keilley and John Robinson by name, were
arrested in an obscure station-house, as accom
plices In the celebrated Rogers murder. They
were confined in the House of Detention, whlh,
although it answers as well for its purpose as
could reasonably be expected, is neither a palace
nor a paradise. There they have been in service,
there they are likely to remain uutil Judge Ber
nard undergoes the just ignominy of becoming
recalcitrant to an opinion formerly expressed,
und confesses that he was mistaken In declaring
that the "rear murderer was in the possession of
the authorities. Between two and three mouths
is a very long time for innocent men
to be incarcerated, shut up from home and
friends, and everything that makes life euioya
ble. All that has been proved against Robinson
and Keilley is that they are vagrants. Ixgair
number one uas ueen uismisseu. iogan numoer
two has simmered down so quietly that nothing
has been heard of him. The negro boy, whose
testimony was so conflicting that it amounted to
nothing, was discharged about a week ago with
a munificent gift of a few dollars. Robinson and
Keilley are the last lingerers on the edge of the
Rogers mystery, the tag-end of ex-Detective De
lanoy's remarkable story, and no more is known
in relation to the murderer than on the morning
when the deed was done.
It is something of a sight to stand on Burling
Slip, near the Fulton ferry-house, and watch the
scene succeeding the arrival of a fruit-laden ship
from some foreign port. Time out of mind this
has been the locality where the ships are un
laden, and the "good part of the cargo sorted
from the bad. Oranges and lemons from Baro
eoa, llgs from San Bias; bananas from Havana;
melons from Casstellamare and Messina; cocoa
nuts from Nicaragua and Brazil, how they do
come iu! Bananas, by-the-by, have never leen
made thoroughly at noiue upon our dessert tames.
Oranges nnd apples arc generally considered the
fitting ueeompaniraeuts of almonds, raisins, and
nuts, and the banana is, for the most part, de
spised, or at least unnoticed. Fruiterers give
evidence, however, that this fruit Is becoming
more appreciated this year than ever before, and
that its mellow meltinguess is quite casting into
the shade the sweet acidity of the orange and
the cold-grained too "pronounced" apple.
At a meeting of the Workingwomen's Asso
ciation, held iu one of the rooms of the Cooper
Institute, it transpired that a building is in
process of erection iuteuded exclusively for
women's offices and rooms for holding private,
or, if need be, public meetings. A long discus
sion took place in regard to the appointment of
postmistresses. Miss Anthony thought u very
well there siiouiu re sucn an institution, imi curt
not think that they ought to be paid only ten
dollars a year. 1 his was apropos of
Miss Van lcw having been appointed
postmistress of Kichmotid. A Mrs. Bickcrdykc,
however, a back woods woman from Kansas, in
stanced two or three postmistresses who received
several thousands of dollars per year. Mrs. Ixj
y.ler, w ho is a strong-minded doctress, and has a
good run of custom, thought you ought not to
look the gift-horse iu his mouth; and that General
(irant having appointed Miss Van l.cw, strong
minded women were culled upon to feel thank
ful to him. A Mrs. Dr. Salford roe
and delivered a eulogium upon Mrs. Bickcrdykc,
the back woodswomau, whom she pronounced a
strong-minded female angel, and Mrs. Cecilia
Burleiuh. who dot's "the good, the beautiful, and
the true of the association, read an esty on
"Womanhood." Not to throw ridicule on an
earuest organization, however, it is only fair to
add that the Workingwomeu's Association bt
better than any number of rose-water SorosUes,
and that Susan the Sensible would be loved by
newspaper men if she were not dreaded!

FROM 1MRKISIWRG.
The TwHchell anil IjiKin Trairedy Some New
Development Mr. Twitelicll .Made N In
terression In Ilclinir or llrr Husband.
Makiuhhuho, April 9 Several facts of inte
rest have transpired in reference to the Katon
and Twitchell tragedy. It Is found on inquiry
that Mrs. Twitchell had never said or written a
word to Governor Geary in behalf of her hus
band. On one occasion a closely-veiled wom.iu
called at the Executive department and obtained
an Interview, in company with a female friend.
The friend spoke a few sentences In favor of
Twitchell, but the veiled woman, who was after
wards represented to have been Mrs. Twitchell,
remained both veiled and silent during the short
interview.
The only appeal made by Twitchell to the
Governor was the following:
"Moiamknsino Piuhon, 2!th March, 180!).
To his Excellency J. W. Geary, Governor of
Pennsylvania: Sir as in a very short time I
have to appear before the bar of God, and know
ing that for the protection of society tho majesty
of the law must be sustained; yet It does seem
very hard that I must suffer for a crime which
I know nothing about. I would ask that, if you
might not deem it inconsistent with your ollicial
duty, you will give me a little time before exe
cuting this dread sentence, for 1 feel that Provi
dence will yet shed some new light on this awful
deed by which I may be enabled to prove to the
world iny entire innocence of it. Hoping that
you may not deem this request intrusive, I am,
sir, very respectfully,
"(iEOKOE S. Twitchell, Jn."
The letters sent to the Governor in behalf of
Twitchell were from the utmost variety of
sources. Some were sentimental, sotnc legal,
and quite a number gave the history of enses in
which innocent men had been hung on circum
stantial evidence.

The Detail of n KrUlufuI Triiuedy-A Mother
nnit Four Children Brained With an Axe The
Father and Murderer lnHnnp.
Special DenjMitch to The Evening Telegraph.
Chicago, April 9. A despatch to the Times
fromJSt.gl'aul gives the details of the horrible
murder which occurred on Wednesday morning
in Oakdale. township, ten miles from that city. A
farmer named James B. Grey, well known iu
that section, in a fit of insanity killed his wife
and four children, the latter consisting of two
boys, aged eighteen and eight, and twogirlsaged
five and three ye:u-s. The murderer was about
forty years old, a large nnd powerfully-built
man, and has many relatives in the neighbor
hood. He lata lately been suffering from deaf
ness, and grew insane over it.
The deed wns committed about daylight. The
neighbors heard Mrs. Grey scream, and going to
the house found the wife n.ud four children cut
to pieces with an axe, and the murderer endea
voring to hang himself. He was arre-tcd and
lodged in the St. Paul Jail, where it required
three or four men to hold him. In answer to in
quiries he would only reply, "I killed them all
with an axe. Oh, hang me!" The wife was
murdered first, being cut in the head and
stabbed several times. The children were then
murdered and placed in a row on the floor, their
throats so badly cut as to nearly sever tho heads
from the body.
The murderer had evidently chopped their
heads with an axe, mutilating them so as to reu
der recoffiiitiou almost Impossible. Tho pri
soner, nt intervals of tho paroxysms of maniacal
fury, made a statement detailing the particulars
of the murder. He says his motive was that he
feared ho was coming to poverty und the family
would be left destitute, and so thought it would
be better to send them to heaven at once. The
prisoner tried to beat his brains out several
times by jumping against the sides of his cell.

There Is considerable activity in financial quar
ters to-dny, tho demand for loans being quite hi
excess of supply, and rates of yesterday firm.
The banks are not disposed to relax their con
servative eourse, though they arc evidently
gaining strength by remittances of currency
from the Interior. As it cannot bo considered
profitable to keep their funds idle in the vaults,
wo must presume that they find employment for
them lu some way or other. The applications
made to them by regular customers are often re
jected ou the plea of non est, whilst a docidod
preference is manifested for tho.-ie of the
brokers, to whom currency Is advanced appa
rently, on liberal terms. We limit ourselves to
the bare fact, without attempting to account for
the choice. It rs by no means so notieea'de here
as In New Vork, but the simple truth is that the
bulk of the bank loans U tivken by the brokers
when the commercial nnd business want aro
forced upon the outside market, where heavy
rhuves are invariably iullicted.
The rates for call loans coatiiuie nt about 7 per
cent, on Government collaterals, and at 8(&'9 per
cent, on other securities. Mercantile bills con
tinue at a wide range, between 'MfOVi per cent.,
according to credit.
The stock market was active this morning,
and prices of almost everything on tho list were
higher. Nothing was done in State loans. City
Cs were unchanged, selling nt 101 for the new
issues. Government bonds were dull at about
former rales.

llAimtsuuiMi, April 9. Amonf? the persons who
visited the Governor on behalf of Twitchell whs Alt
Kelt, the witness who swore that he saw two men
leave the scene of tho murder. An aunt of Twitchell
was also at Harrlstiurg. Not the least singular fea
ture of the matter was the conduct of Gloerson and
Dyke, two of the Jurors who convicted the accused.
On the 84th of March, 1869, they signed a paper
alleging informality or Impropriety in the trial, and
It was sent to the Executlvo on the 87th of March,
three days afterwards. They scut a private letter to
Governor Oeary urging him not to pay any attention
to their first statement The pressure upon the
Governor was intense, but the appeals larked tho
one great essential, viz. : evidence.
The course of the Executive was marked with
courtesy, and every opportunity was given to those
who desired to change his views. From tho day of
the verdict he has seen no evidence to shake his
faith In that verdict. Every human probability has
asserted the guilt of Twitchell.
In the case of Katon strong appeals were also
made.
Eaton was the associate of thieves, and was him
self a runner for gambling bonses and an Instrument
for reckless characters. It was this class of men who
asserted his innocence, and here, as in the case of
Twitchell, all the appeals for mercy were unsup
ported by a shadow of evidence. Ueenan, tho pugi
list, and brother of the murdered jnan, telegraphed
on Wednesday to the Governor on behalf of Eaton,
but his Excellency deemed the safety and good
order of society required tho execution. Since thut
event a threatening letter has been received at the
Executive department, declaring that the death of
Eaton will be avenged. The letter shared the fate of
all anonymous communications.

On motion of Mr. Trumbull, the House mil aothortsin
the aubmiseion of the constitution of Virginia, ManZ
aippi, ai.d Texas to a vota of tho p.iople waa taken up.
M r. N orton offered ae an additional flection Um joint rw
aoluti "i tifferod by bim Uie other day, providing that be.
fore Virginia, Mississippi, and Texae shall be admitted is
representation in Con grew their jveral Legislatures shall
ratily the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution.
Mr. Trumbull did not think it w.ae to add tbw aUon to
the bill. Congreee had already with great delilwrat.ion
passed several acta prescribing the conditions of recon
struction, and several Mates bail complied with ibeee con
ditions and were aduimiltcd to representation, and for
Congresa now to impose additional con litions wonfct he a
breach of faith with those people. He had nodoobt that
those States would ratily the Hiteenth amendment without
it being made a condition of reconstruction.
Mr. Morton denied that it would be a bressih of faith.
No agreement had been made between kmgrens and the
unreconstructed KtatHi. Congress had offered triese Htstss)
reconstruction upon certain conditions, but tbojr had re
fused U) accept, the offer, and had stood out in hostility to
the Government, and now it was the right of OmtrceM to
iuipce whatever conditions it pleased, provided tliat they
were right and just in theiuaeivoa. He won id rattier see
tho pending bill fail than pass without this amendment.
1 he desire of the I iemocratio party was to keep tins ques
tion of negro suffrage open as an element of eucoess in the
election of ISVi. 1 be ilemocrnU calculated that without
the votes of Virginia, Mississippi, Texas, and Indiana, the
fifteenth ameniunent must tail of ratification, and the
only way to defeat that result waa by making jta ratifica
tion a condition of tbo readnnssion ot these Htatee.
Mr. Conk ling said the imposition of the new condition
frcpared by the Senator from Indiana (Mr. Morton) wonW
e a breach of faith. That Senator contended that the
States in question remained unreconstructed only beoaase
they had unjustly stood out, and reiuaed to eoueit recon
Hfiuctien npon the conditions offered by Congress. This
certainly was not true of Virginia, one of the States to
which tbia bill was intended to apply.
Virginia had gone on as far as sue could in the prescribed
course of reconstruction, und liad tailed to complete it only
becaive the commanding general, repreaentina tne Gov
ernment of the United Status, had been unable for want of
money to bold the election which was necessary as a eunitt
tion precedent to her admission to representation in Con
gress. .

leave to report back the bill permitting defendants in

to make the State laws govern in the United States Courts

Mr. Bird objected. ,
Mr. Butler moved to suspend tho rules.
Ttie rules were not suspended.
Mr. Cook moved to suspend the rules to enable kint te
report from the Judiciary Committee the biU to pro
vide for the publication of the opinions of the Attorney
Cenerals, aud for other purposes.
T he rules were anspended, and the bill came before the
Honae for action, and was passed nndor tho previous ques
tion. Mr. Paine, chairman of the Committee on FJeetkrae,
moved that the Representatives elect from the State of
Connecticut be sworn in. They had not the nmal regular
certificates, because tho canvass was not yet folly com
pleted, bnt they had credentials from State olHoiais which
Kitislied the Committee on Elections, unanimously, that
they were dnly eleotod.
Mr. Krooks suggested that this would establish very
dangerous precedent. What was the particular object of
t his haste? Was it simply to anticipate pay and mileagef
Mr. Paine retorted, that whatever satisfied the House of
the election of its members satisfied the constitutional re
quirement. The canvass could not be fully completed be
fore the adjournment of the session.
After some further discussion the motion waa agreed to,
and Messrs. Strong, Kellogg, and Starkweather were sworn

A Sew Horror.
We have had many fire-damp explosions and
mine-lloiidiugs in Kngland, and occasionally a
calamity of tho kind in this country, but there
has never Been its yet, we believe, an accident of
the nature occurring on Wednesday morning lat
in the Nevada gold mines, at Gold 1011, in that
titate. So far as tho telegrams give any particu
lars of this terrible affair, the timber-works in
the shafts and cuttings of the Kentock mine
took fire iu some unexplained way, aud thenue
tho flames spread to tho Yellow Jacket and
Crown Point mines, with tho result, at latest dates,
of thirty-live of the unfortuato miners being
literally roasted to death underground. From
some of the few details in tho despatches we are
inclined to suppose that, though the shafts aro
not deep, the hointiug machinery waa so entirely
destroyed in tho first ravages of tiie fire as to
h-avc a number of miners to perish within very
sight of their companions abovo. As the flames
were subdued in the Kentuek mine eight bodic
were taken out of tho shaft, and other were
K en at tho bottom of the shaft. It is stated that,
this is the most dreadful calamity ever oocurriokf
in the Western mining regions, and it might be
lidded, or in any other In any part of the United
States.
