"General Jordan's Appeal to the Ameri
can People -De Kotlas' Opinion
of American Officers and
the Probabilities of
Recognition.
A New York correspondent, while In lliivana,
conversed with D(j Kodas, the Spanish Captain
Oenernl, and from his report of that Interview
we take the following;
1)E RODAS OPINION OF AMERICA OFFICERS.
General Do Kodus Ah, j'ou have been In the
United States army, eriiaps during the lato
civil war?
Correspondent Yes, sir; 1 held a commis
sion as a staff and lino olticer for four yean.
General Do Kodas Then you must be well
Acquainted with the prominent military leaders.
I tried very hard to obtain leave of absence
from our Minister of War to euable mo to wit
ness the great struggle then presented between
the peoples of one nation, a country which was
generally considered weak, infantile, and unedu
cated in the art of war, but which presented to
the world, instead of a childish farce or Spanish
American revolution, the spectacle of two young
. giauts, who, after every battle, and contrary to
what would have been tho case In Europe, re
newed tho struggle with increased force and de
termination. It often brought to my mind tho
remark of General Zurualcarrcgul, when speak
ing of the English legion who fought in
our groat civil war, "Estos inglescs
son murallas do came." (These English arc
perfect walls of flesh.) And this reminds me of
that famous Southern General, Stonewall Jack
eon, whose figure stood out pro-eminent as my
beau ideal of a soldier, although Shcridau, Sher
man, Grant, and Lee arc, in my opinion, equal
if not superior to any generals in Europe. Sheri
dan was tho 8tonewall Jackson of tho North,
-and if we had a few generals like those produced
by the United States, Spain might accept the
gage of battle from France or Germany without
any fears as to tho result. I am astonished,
however, that General Sheridan or. President
Grant should lend their aid and moral support
to a band of rebels, when they risked their lives
eo often to suppress a rebellion.
DE RODAS ON ASSASSINATION.
Correspondent But, General, we hear a great
deal of the assassinations of Cubans, who were
not even taken as prisoners of war.
General de Rodas This unfortunately is too
true. I might give as an excuse that tho rebels
net worse. You mutt remember that this is only
a partly civilized country, inhabited by the de
scendants of Spaniards, who inherit the san-
uinary character of the race, by the sons of
pnnish criminals who were sent here while
Cuba was a penal colony, in addition to that
horrid mixture produced by the miscegenation
of the European, negro, Chinaman, and abo
riginal. All ignorant peoples are brutal, and I
cannot excuse the execution of any man unless
he is a criminal. My only desire is to leave my
children the inheritance of an untarnished
name, and, if God will, the early pacification of
this territory.
THE LENGTH OF THE REBELLION.
Correspondent Do you think, General, that
the war will soon be over?
General De Kodus Yes, sir Tho rainy sea
son is drawing to a close. 1 have despatches
that tho home Government will send mo heavy
reinforcements. Those who came here during
the spring are now acclimated and conversant
with tho peculiar mode of warfare necessary
here. In addition, the volunteers will take tho
field, or at least a large portion of them. Tho
mere suppressing of' tho rcbelliou will bo a
matter of a few weeks. The complete exter
mination of tho small band3 will require tinio
and labor.
THE AMERICAN RECOGNITION OF CUBA.
Correspondent But if tho United States
should recognize the insurgents as belligerents,
would not that interfere very much with your
expectations and plans ?
General Do Kodas I don't think tho United
States will recognize the Cubans. In the llrst
- place, they have neither government, harbors,
nor an organized army or navy; besides, tho
Cubans, according to their manifestoes, don't
wish to be annexed to the United States. Many
and very influential Cubans arc on tho Spanish
side; they know that under Spanish rule they
havo become wealthy and flourishing, increasing
in population; the sense of self-preservation
is very strongly developed in them, and
they havo learned enough from tho examples
given by Texas, Florida, and California, that the
Latin race is no match for tho An .lo-Saxon;
that they will be annihilated in a very quiet ye:
perceptible and effective manner. The Inferior
race must always give way to tho superior race;
and although I tun a Spaniurd, with heart and
soul I am fully convinced that we are no match,
cither morally, physically, or mentally, for the
Teutonic breed. I must bid you good evening,
as a gentleman wishes to see me, and as soon
as your affairs arc in train let me kuovr.
CJcneral Jordan AppenU to the American
People.
Bijarru, Cuba, June 8. The people of the
United States havo manifested in tho protound
1st manuer their sympathy for tho people of
Cuba in their struggle for freedom aud a na
tionality of their own, American and republican
In its character. 1 am satisllcd that this sympa
thy only needs direction to take practical, mate
rial shape for tho immediate benefit of a sorely
oppressed people; tnereiore i snail not nesitato
to appeal directly to them for substantial aid,
and in a manner that does not violate
any laws of their country. Cuba does not need
men although, of course, the aid of sonio veto
ran soldiers would bo of great service at this im
mediate juncture but sue does neea suoes,
r.lothino-. and medicine, for none are in the
country. Hundreds of brave men are stand
ing in my sight almost naked, many quite
so, and few witti shoes of any sort, but all mani
festing delight that at km tliey have arms and
ammunition in tlieir hands with which to meet
an enemy whose atrocious Habit k is, as i cau
testify, to butcher tho wounded and prisoners.
Men more willing to become soldiers 1 newr

the inextinguishable resolution to be rid
of .Spain atd Spaniards, and at every
sacrifice to bo free. People of tho United
States! out of the great uiiundance of your
stores send these struggling, urave men, who

for their women and children. Of meat there is

She brings Information of a desperate attacK
ly the insurgents on Las Tunas, and their re
puhebjthcprrlsonof tliati!aco oo th'J lJl
of August. The delay in the transmission of tho
news was doubtless owing to the fact that tho
Cubans nre in large numbers between Tunas and
l'nerto Padre, and communication is seldom and
difficult. We havo as yet only the Spanish
accounts, not ft word having arrived
through Cuban sources. These in the past have
been by no means remarkable for their truth
fulness, and should, therefore, be taken with
manv grains of allowance. The ofllcial report
of Lieutenant-Colonel Bonichc, chief of the gar
rison at the time of the attack, appears in the
(iazttte. It Is very long and unreasonably diffu
sive. His own force had been reduced to 400
men, while the. Insurgents, according to the
statement of ft prisoner taken during tlie fight,
numbered between WWO and 0000 and one piece
f artillery. About an hour previous to the
attack, 1200 men of the garrison, under Colonel
Fftvela, had gone out to collect cattle, leaving
but 2(H) to receive tho onslaught of the enemy.
The attack commenced at half-past 4 A. M.,
on tho eastern side of the town, where it was
sustained for a few minutes by a small force there,
quickly reinforced from tho plaza. Tho Spa
niards were fighting behind tlieir trenches, it
will bo recollected. The attack soon became
general nt the four principal points of the town.
Colonel Favela, hearing tho firing from the out
side, returned on the double-quick, and entering
the town from tho north attacked tho cjiemy lu
the rear, causing him great losses. Ho seems to
have succeeded In reaching tho plaza with
out dllllculty, nnd his force Immediately
strengthened the weaker points. The
fight continued with varied success at
the different points up to halt-past 1
P. M. At one time the Insurgents had posses
sion of nearly all the bulldinns in 4he southern
part of tho town, and were working their way
towards tho trenches surrounding tho plaza by
cutting through tho walls of the houses. Ah the
attacks at the other points had mostly ceased,
the commandant concentrated his force and
moved on the enemy in that direction, his men
being subdivided into two divisions. Tho in
surgeuts were protected by barricades of furni
ture, wbicli were carried at tno point oi too
bayonet, while the enemy from tho housetops
and from other points poured down a deadly
fire upon the charging column. The advance of
the Cubans in that direction was checked, and
the fight carried to another portion of tho town.
During tho morning certain barracks occupied
by the Spaniards were abandoned and burned
to prevent their falling into tho hands of the
Cubans. At 12 o'clock tho commandant set
fire to eight or ten houses about the plaza, in
order to supply himself wit'j a more open space.
Further details of the light arc given, but they
are confused and without interest. At half-past
1 P. M. the insurgents retired towards the
country, after having Pet fire to more than 1(K)
houses, mostly thatched. During the tight the
Cubans kept up a lively fire with tlieir one piece
of artillery, directed mostly against tho church
tower, beneath which tho military hospital was
situated, and falling mostly in tho court-yard.
Now, says the report, the intention of the cuemy
in the attack was to capture the place aud make
it the seat of the republican government. This
was evident from a proclamation of Cespedes,
attached to the report, a translation of which I
forward. Cespedes and Qtiesada, it is said, con
templated tlie action from a distant eminence,
and near mem, on ine rrincipo road, was seen a
train, doubtless containing the insurgent ar
chives, brought up in tho evident expectation
that it would be an easy matter to take tno town.

From the Boxton Traveller of Tttemlttg evenitvp.
Tho following letter was received to-day from
a well-known. American resident in iiaytl. inc
outrages he describes are of a character almost
too horrible for belief, but his reputation war
rants us in irlvimr Publication to his statements:
FOKT-AU-l'KINCK, llayti, Aug. 3, 1I)'J.-WO
stated some time since that a terrible atfair took
place in this city on the ith of July. Since
then acts of the most cowardly and of tho most
revolting nature are daily occurring here under
this infamous government of Sal nave. Two
nights ago, tuc aotu instant, ft horrible assassi
nation was committed upon u inottcuslvc man
by the name ot iiarrcau, sixty-live years ot aire
This gentlemen was about embarking a nlcco of
Ills, Mrs. Pagrolx (the wife ot an cx-rcpreseuta'
tlve, who Is now at St. Marc), on board of the
French man-of-war, the D'Estrec: as they
reached tho wharf, they were arrested by tho
guards of the Post Ollice; the lady was
beaten by those savages and put into jail, where
she is still in close coutiuemcut in irous. .Mr.
Barrcau was then conducted to the Post Olllje,
the General commanding tho post, by tho name
ot Jseoclls Saintongc, ordered tho man t no
taken to Fort Hot (only a short distance from
tho city), where he was butchered by five of his
men at 9 o'clock in the evening. When the old
man saw that his doom was sealed, ho gave up n
ring which he had on his linger, and tlie keys of
his house to the general, to be remitted to his
wife. At I o'clock in tho morning tlio house of
the poor man was robbed of cvrythiug by tho
soldiers, and the only reason he gave was, 'It
was for an example!" We can understand that
when two enemies meet face to face, the natural
consequence is that cither one or the other falls,
but we cannot account for such a dastardly and
cold-blooded murder. Only a (lend, like this
General Saintonge, could have put in exe
cution such a horrible act of barbarity. Wo
will say a few words concerning this Sain ton ire,
this monster in human shape. Under tho gov
ernment of Soulouque, this miserable wretch,
after squandering all that his father had left
him, at the gaming tables, was a low vagabond,
begutng in the streets, barefooted and miserable.
He committed a most outrageous act upon a
child twelve years of age. for vvliich Souloii iiu
had him thrown into u dungeon, but as go. id
luck often favors such scamps, ho made his
escape, ond found himself in Kingston, Jainilca,
where he met tho same old man whom lie mur
dered on the 2ith instant, who received hlin at
his home, Berving him as a protector aud father
for ten years, until the downfall of Soulou-pi".
when he returned to llayti, und he Is now gene
ral commanding tho port. Tliis rulllau is not the
only oue of that stamp. The General of tho de
partment is one of the very lowest scoundrels
a blood-thirsty negro: thc'Gcuerul of the place
is a thief; tlie Chief of the Police Is of the hnvc-t
character. These four blacklegs are only wait
ing nnd watching their chance to excito the mob
to plunder tho city of Port-au-Princ?. Women
of the most degraded character are allowed to
insult every oue; no on dare circulate in tho
streets after dark. Those that have means and
have deposited them for safety in the largo mer
cantile establishments hero, receive in return a
receipt uuder this condition: "Wo are not re
sponsible for anything in case of pillage."
Even the foreigners have no security for their
property, and much less for their own lives.
This is the state of things at Port-au-Prince;
but, as we all look for help from above, we are
waiting with patience for the day of deliverance.
The two vessels of the revolution have left St.
Marc for Aux Cayes, and one of Salnavo's small
steamers, called tho Artlfonlto, has been cap
tured laden with coffee, and reports have reached
this city that Aguin has fallen into tho hands
of the patriots, and Salnave wounded In tho
leg and etioulders. The Alexander Potion '.and
the Salnave, tho two vessels of war of Salnave,
are here In bad order, they say, but the short of
It is, they dare not 6how themselves before Go
naive Island, and the contract between Captain
ILllms and tho Governor having expired, tho
noble captain does not care about trying his
force with the revolutionary steamers. Ho has
a notion now to offer his services to Nlssago. The
best thing he has to do is to leave for the Unitod
States, to save a whole skin.

KlCHMOND LORING,
Late U. 8. Consul at Aux Cayes, llayti. '
FRANCE.
The Speech of "I'lon-Plon" on the Hcnalun
i.oriHiimim.
On the 3d Inst, it is said that an extraordinary
scene occurred in the Lcgislatif Chamber, at
Paris, the cause ot it being the speech ot 1'rinco
Napoleon, or "ITon.Plon," as he has been
dubbed, on tho tenalns conxultuta.
Jle closed as Jollows:
I entirely Birree with the demand, for I consider
that the duty of every jrood citizen requires him to
take an Interest in polities. ImllfTcrence in such
mutters is dangerous lor a country, i suouiu aiso
desire a moilllicntton of the article regarding the
nomination of deputies, their number, and the for
mation of the .electoral conscriptions. (Murmurs.)
Die number of members ought to be augmented,
nnd the arrondissement adopted as the biisis of
electoral districts. I shall not dwell upon the In
conveniences of the present system ; thej Involve an
anachronism which might become dangerous to those
who employ lt. I now come to another and graver
point; I allude to municipal reform. (Noise.) lshue
the opinion of those who udvocite the election of
the mayors by the municipal councils, or, If you are
not disposed to go so far, 1 ask for the suppression
of the article which enables the Kmperor to select
those functionaries outside of the local body, aud I
also desire that the proceedings of the Utter should
be made public. Those are tho principal p ilnts
which 1 submit to the examination of the Senate.
have coiilined my arguments to discussing the ou
st It utUmal obstacles which oppose the foundation of
that dream of my life, a liberal empire. Hereafter,
wIicb we conic to the discussion of particular mea
sures other questions will arise, such us the suppres
si hi of what remains of the law on general safety,
the abolition of article 70 of the Constitution of the
Year VIII; a bill on tho ad ministration of
the city of Paris; one on the relations ot
Church and State; on primary, gratuitous, am) obli
gatory Instruction ; on the liberty of superior teach
ing; on decentralization ; on the emancipation of
the citizen : on the reduction of expenditure ; and on
foreign policy. Then will come the real struggle,
and we shall sec all ancient abuses and superannu
ated practices vanish. The mission of the Empire is
to do whut no ottn r government has been able to do
would not have dared to attempt to act In unis n
with the great popular and democratic aspiration.
Do not allow yourselves to be frightened by the
spectre Houge and other well-known evocations.
The best method of combatting revolutions Is to
adopt what Is good In them, and this is the path on
which the (Jovcrnuymt has entered. Let It perse
vere. (Applause.)
An I'nrxpcpted Hchpoiihp.
To this M. de Forcade La Koquette, Minister
of the Interior, said:
In the speech which we have Just heard, by the
side of liberal sentiments. In which the government
fully participates, there are propositions Interpreta
tions, and a series of observations which are per
sonal to the speaker. (Hear, huar.) We cannot ac
cept anyottier responsibility than that or our own
opinions and acts, and before those we shall never
recoil; hut I cau declare that I would never be the
responsible Minister to a policy such us hiu been just
set forth, (tireat approbation.) I am not of those
who doubt the possibility of the alliance of the
empire with liberty. My firm belief Is that the Na
poleons ure destined to establish constitutional
monarchy In this country. (Great applause.) but
liberty is not rounded witn temerity, witn mat tin.

(Hear, hear.)
French Opinions of the Crisis.
The Tarls Journals of tho 4th of September almost
the whole of the city press remark on Prince Napo
leon's speech, some of them Joining with It the re
marks of M. do Forcado la Uoipielte in reply. The
general opinion is that the Prince displayed great
ability and a liberal spirit, which sounded somewhat
strangely in a "iTince or tlie blood. ' lieuco the
Imperialist journals express considerable discontent.
and declare that the speaker went too far. We pub
lish me main points oi me comments.
The Omni it nt tunnel says: All the Interest of the
sitting was concentrated in ft mngnitlcent speech
from i'l ince Naixileou and uu eloquent reply from
M. do Korcade la Koquette. The former, with great
force of expression and elevation of thought, drew a
fiicture of the existing situation, aud declared that
ic received the new reforms with so much the more
favor Unit they are a first and large satisfaction
given to the idea of his whole life, flat he considers
them llisiittlclenU
Tlie liiluitH expresses satisfaction at tho speech
thus: However little we maybe inclined to nlar
the courtier's part, we cannot help highly applauding
I ne picas, as priiuciu as nnerai, expressed ny the
Kinperor's cousin. We found lit them, with srreat
pleasure, the larger part of those which we have
constantly sustained, and which have so often
brought down upon us the bitterest attacks of tho
scuii-oltlclul press. We did not hope a few months
buck, that those doctrines would so soon find in the
high Assembly itself an interpreter placed so near
ine uiroiie.
Lit y-VfiHcc, of Paris, remarks: Tho Prince hesran
by placing the Ideas he was about to develop under
mi invocation of tin; most absolute devotcdness to
tlie empire, the Lmperor, and the youny; Prince.
i ne exordium, Hearing an impress at once or gran
deur and emotion, will remain as a pane of history,
The dominant Idea inuv he comprised lu two wordj
to make the empire subsist together with liberty ; to
rentier ineir union not a marriage or cold reason,
but one of feeling; not a timid und ephemeral ex
periment, hut uu indissoluble alliance. From one
end to the other the speech of the Prince breathes
the moBt lively faith in that result.
The public Is not satistied. ltsavs:The sneech
will certainly make a profound impression. Hut of
what nature will it be? (iood or bad? Tho latter,
we do not hesitate to sav. Prince Napoleon loves
frankness; h possesses that quality, und will not,
therefore, be astonished that we should use It In re
gurd to himself. Well. then, his Interference in the
debute of the Keiurte is simply uu act quite gut of
place. Hut if ever circumstances Imposed upon any
prince of the blood the obligations attendant oil
ceremonial aud on family ties, ihey ure those at. pre
sent existing. If ever Impatience or ambition was
sure to produce an evil ellect It would bu at this
moment, und this species of trampling down every
thing on account of the Prince, If it Ins not In reality
tlie ctiurauter of an cscula le, has all tho uppearaue'e
ol It.
The Paris Trmp says: This speech from V.vi
commencement invested tlie question with propor
tions llilinltely more vast ami liberal llian were eon.
tallied in the tioverument measure. Therefore pro
ject and report huvo isii.W palecl. Tim IViiioo had
not prepared us for ua initiative ho deeidi-il. A
doubt has been expressed in regard to the import
ance of the reforms which we are eng.ig 'd In cariv
Ing out, and of tke crisis which they imply. In order
to estimate their Importance we should only reipiiro
to read the Mineral oration pronounced br a prince
of the blood upon the unfortunate Constitution of
There is not much iTiiiuiiiiug of it.
The Arrjnr Mutitimtt makes the observation that
the Prince won applauded only ut the commence
ment of his speech, when protest lug his devoted
liesh lo the Kmperor.
The J'trrv comments thus: The Prince considers
that nil which the Xiuntim CnuHitltn ,n contains is
good; but he denies that every think' that is good U
to tie found there, aud his speech is only tlie deve
lopment nnd rapid defense of that supplement, Hid
ubscuce ol 'which hu regrets. Tin Minister, on the
contrary, considers the. work satisfactory, ami lie
w ill defend it in Its a.-lual shape, and with Its omis
sions, which hu characterize us prudent, and its
iimblgBltleH, w hich Iih iucreastis, as If designed, by
the manner lu which he interprets them.
The Steele writes lu a strange fashion on tho
speech, treating, In one place, wlih great contempt,
while lu another it praise and tm.louc many of His
points which his High lies Insisted on.
The extent to which tho Idea of repudiation
has entered into the Democratic faith Is Illus
trated by the following extract from tho Salis

Strong-mindedness Broke I.none Aanln-.Mr.
IHnry A. I.ivrrmore In Reply to Judge .lut
thewn What Women Want.
Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph,
Cincinnati, Sept. 10. Pike's Hall last night
was filled by a very largo and highly respccUblo
audience, assembled to hear a discourse roin
Mrs. Mary A. Llvcrmorc, of Chicago, who had
been announced to deliver a reply to Judo
Matthews' letter declining to sin the call for
tho convention.
She considered it a most handsome, fair, and
manly letter. There was very little in the letter
that eho could object to at all; but when tho
Judgo concedes that they need to have a change
made in the laws in reference to tho rights of
married women, industry, education, etc., he
conceded all that they asked for. He could not
grant these without the other inevitably follow
ing. Just as soon as it is found that women arc
able to do business nnd to follow the professions,
the ballot will be given them.
The single objection in the mind of Judge
Matthews was that the exercise of tho elective
franchise would confuse tho spheres of tho two
sexes. His idea is simply this: Women are
women. They arc to be wives and mothers, and
therefore they nre to have nothiug to do with
the government of society.
The speaker agreed that there Is a different
function in the two sexes, but she differed from
him in this, that, because of this difference, you
should enfranchise one and make slaves of
the other; aud tho very fact that there is a dif
ference in the sexes, the very fact that men are
unlike women, utterly disqualifies men for legis
lating for women.
Mrs. Livcrmore contended that women had
shown their ability to govern by their govern
ment of families, and quoted from the essay of
John Stuart Mill on the subjection of woman in
support of her position; and how is it kuown
that they have no capacity to govern when an
opportunity has not been offered them of trying
the experiment t v hut women asK is to nave
those disabilities removed, aud that they be
placed on a perfect legal aud social equality with
men.

By the A nylo-American Cable.
London, Sept. 10. It Is known here to-day
that Major-Gcneral Sickles, United States Minis
ter to Madrid, transmitted to the Spanish Cabi
net an ofllcial note protesting, in behalf of tho
American people nnd the Government of the
United States, against the outrages recently
committed on American citizens in Cuba, in
sinuating at the same time to the Ministers that
belligerent rights would soon ho accorded to tho
Cubans by the Government in Washington,
should Spain persist in her barbarities in tho
island and in her refusal of terms of a compro
mise with the people.
The members of the opposition to the Serrano
Government assailed tho Sickles despatch with
the object of embarrassing tue Regency, as well
as to prevent, if possible, any arrangement with
the Executive in Washington.
A statement which has been pretty exten
sively circulated here to the effect that England,
France and Austria will coalesce with tho inten
tion of sustaining the ' rights of Spain" in Cuba,
is denied.

Wamiinoton, 8cpt 10. General Reynolds
recently telegraphed to General Sherman that
the Texas Constitution provides for only one
election precinct in a county, and some counties
nre so largo that voters from a distance cannot
reach the polling place in one day, and asked an
extension of time. General Sherman telegraphed
to tho President, at Pittsburg, stating the im
portance of Reynolds telegram, and tho Presi
dent replied: "If any provision in tho Recon
struction net allows an extension, do so." Gen.
fihcrmnn, on examination, found authority to
extend the time four days, and telegraphed an
order to Reynolds last night.
Mississippi has not yet asked for an extension,
but if Ames finds any difficulty In that State, no
doubt an extension of tunc will be granted.

The Escnpe, Pnrnnlt, nnd Capture of an Expe

The New Bedford (Mass.) Standard of
Tuesday evening has the following nccount. of
the escape, pursuit, ana capture ot a uuuusteriug
expedition intended for Cuba:
d, nnrtv nf nlintit thlrfv aailnra nrrlirA.1 In thta ptf.v
by the evening train from lioston, by way of Taun
ton, on Monday, who appeared to be In command of
one of their number, a (lerman. They took supper
at ine .Mansion iiouse, ami tne nea i man was active
during the evening endeavoring to charter some
small vessel, generally stating that he was going ou
a fishing excursion to Noimin's Land with a party,
but sometimes representing that he wished to bo put
on a vessel outside.
"Captain Cobb, of the pilot-boat Hornet, had his
suspicious excited, and politely Informed Mr. Ger
man that he was not lu the habit of taking fishing
parties out at night.
"He waited some time for the yacht Manersing to
arrive, Intending to go In that vessel, but finally
made urrangeiiieuts to be takeu out iu the pilot-boat
Penekese.
"About 9 o'clock two men, who probably belonged
to the party, went Into Tucker & Cununing's store
and bought two barrels of crackers and two hams,
requesting that they should be delivered to order at
a wharf not then named, some time between then
and midnight. Mr. Kben Nye, who was In attend
ance, declined to take so much trouble about de
livery, and the goods were left temporarily at the
St. James' Hotel.
"Tlio tirst Intimation tho olllclals hero had of the
presence of such a body of men lu the city was when
they were going down Union street to embark. Sumo
members of the city watch endeavored to learn
where they were going, but ttiey were not very com
municative, aud their commander forbade tliein to
hold conversation with auy oue.
"At the wharf two of their number refused to go
any further, and the remainder sailed uhrat halt
past 11 o'clock. Captain FlamWrs, master of the
Penekese, did not go with her, aud she sailed In
charge of his son, John F. 1'lauders, aud two or
three men.
"The men who remained behind stated that they
had shipped In lioston to go on a cruise to the West
Indies, and were to be taken on board a steamer
from this port, lint they had become BalisUed, from
what had leaked out among tlie gang, that they were
going into the Cuban service, and therefore with
drew from the expedition, wishing to sail only
under the American flag. They give the mimes of
Cieorge Pradshaw, of Philadelphia, aud William
Long, of New York. 'I hey are now locked up lu tho
Central Police Station.
"The excited Imagination of the watchmen swelled
the number of the party to ninety, aud Collector
Grlnnell, Captain Hall, of revenue cutter Active,
United States Deputy Marshal Cobb, Captain Hurl
but, olticer of the watch, aud Mayor Pierce, were
immediately notified.
"The cutter, on account of injuries received la the
gale, was not iu condition to go in pursuit, aud as
soon as possible steam was got up in the boiler of
the propeller Helen AiiRUStu, the cutter's crew was
transferred to her, and ten men from the city watch
were armed and went on hoard. The pursuing ex
pedition was commanded by Collector (irlnuell,
with Captain Call and Lieutenants Pease and Charl
ton of tho cutter. Deputy Marshal Cobb did not go,
his duties as shell II demanding Ills presence at the
Superior Court lu Taunton to-day.
"The steamer got away about two hours arter tho
Penekese, and at daybreak spoke tho Hornet near
the Vineyard Sound light vessel. Learning from on
board that vessel that the Penekese lud trniie
through (Quick's Hole, tho steamer passed between
the Islands of Penekese and Cuttyhtiiik, nnd along
the north shore of Nashawena, and coming ft the
hole, a small schooner, thought to be the Penekese,
was deicried near (jay Head.
"The steamer went in chase, and coming up with
her between Way Head and Numan's 1itid, she
proved to lie the riht vessel and was taken In charge
und brought to this port, where the arrlva". of the
steamer about 1 o'clock tills afternoon was the signal
lor hundreds of penpl to Una tlio wharves to get a
sight ol the prize and the prisoners.
" I he supposed llllliustcrs had no doubt made ar
rangements to meet a Kteamer outside, but the
plans had falh d to co-operate. Some of them ex
pressed great indignation ut the breaking up of
their 'Hulling party,' and oue fellow declared his
intention of bringing suit, laying damages at Jao.oul).
"The circumstances of the'ease are suspicious, but
It is ditlieull to conceive on what charge the men
cuu be held. Thej are now on b iard the Penekese,
ut anchor near tlie cu iter, aud Flanders is In cus
tody on bourd the cutter.
"A telegram was received from Colonel Hutch
about noon, directing the police to hold liroilshaw
and Long till lie Bhould arrive with a warrant for
their arrest.
"The atrair has caused considerable excitement
in town, and many citizens, whllu the steamer was
absent, openly expressed a hope that tho men
would escupe.
The Tribune' Washington correspondent
telegraphs: "I have the best authority for
stutiug positively that the Chiucse mission has
been tendered to ex-Senator Frellnghuyson, of
New Jersey, and by him declined."
Asa Packer, tho Democratic candidate for
Governor in Pennsylvania, is accused of bolting
the Democratic nominee for Judge of the Su-
Ere mo Court, some eighteen years since, bocause
e was a Catholic; fourteen years ago he trained

The purchases of United States securities In New
York jesterday, on Treasury account, brought out
offerings of over six millions. The issues bought
were 66s and 07s, at 118 i4k'llt)V The large
amount of the otrerlngs on the occasion coun
teracted entirely the influence of the purchase,
anil tho prices fell off In consequence; und,
although a slight reaction took place previous
to the close of the day, It failed to restore the
market to the closing point of the previous
clay. There Is a manifest weak feeling in tne Gov
ernment loan market in all the large money centres,
and were it not for the regular with withdrawals from
the market on the sinking fund aTmnt, there can
be no dtubt that the heavy supply afloat would have
a weakening effect on prices. In our city there ap
pears to be no disposition to Invest or speculate in
Government bonds, ami prices are entirely controlled
by Wall street. Money Is active to-day, and de
cidedly scarce, though rates con luue unchanged.
Gold opened rather string at I30tf, with no fluc
tuations of moment from that figure.
Governments are inactive, but yesterday's closlog
prices are so far maintained.
The Stock market Is without Improvement, and
prices have a downward tendency. State loans were
neglected. City Blxes were steady at 101,' for the
