An Important Bill in Congress.
OFFICE OF THE BOARD OF TRADE, 505
Chestnut street, Philadelphia, June 29, 1870.
To the Editor of the Evening Bulletin :—The fol
lowing is printed as telegraphic information
-• in each of the morning papers supplied with
news by the New York Associated Press:
" Mr. Finklenburg, from the Committee on
Commerce, reported a bill to regulate the ap
praisement, and inspection of imports in cer
tain cases, allowing the transportation• of im
ported articles in bond,'except wine, distilled
spirits anti, perishable and explosive articles
froin New ~: York, Boston, .Baltimore, Port
Huron and New Orleans,to any of such . ports,'
or to Portland, Buffalo, Chicago, Cincinnati,
St. Louis, Evansville and Milwaukee."
The transportatiOn of imported articles •in
bond has been allowed between those points
for the last fifteen, years. These Philadelphia
" Commercial " papers' leatie Philadelphia out
entirely. The bill in question includes Phila
delphia, and is One Nyhich.. this Board origi
noted in 1866 (see' reports), and 'allows mer
chandise, imported at any port of entry, to be
transported to . its .port. of destination. without
appraisal Or bonding at the port of arrival. Our
Representatitee, Messrs. O'Neill and' Myers,
have been indefatigable in urging it forward
from the first, and deserve well of the business
public of this city for their efforts. It is a bill
of great importance to the Commerce of Phil
adelphia. •

SPANISH BRIGANDAGE
to Englishmen Captured by Spanish
Brigands.
be correspondent of the Standard at Gib
-1 ar, from whom the best accounts imblished
England of the capture of the Messrs.
nellliave been received, has written a high-
Interesting narrative of the experiences of
Englishmen while in the hands of their
tors. They were taken, as is well known,
be 21st of May, and at first only $5,000 wae
.-ed as a ransom. • Shortly after eight o'clock
at night the brigands and their captives left
the ventorillo where they bad spent the after
noon. Before starting tile prisoners had been
robbed of their watches, and $lO had been
borrowed from the nepheiv: The night be
came dark, and the bandits' were , evidently
ignorant of the_ country; a man: was - en
countered whom they compelled to act a;
a guide, and so dark was it that this guide
was obliged-4f.° crawl - upon - his - bands and
knees in order to keep on the right path. At
daybreak the party found themselves in the
neighborhood of Castellar, and here they
halted, lying concealed in a thick, part of the.,
wood. here the captives got some food.
Most of the party lay down to rest. One,
however, was constantly on guard, and at no
time was either of the captives allowed to
move a couple of yards away. During the
halt Don Antonio (the brigand chief) said to
Mr. Bonell , "Don Juan, when-we took you
at the ventorillo near Gibraltar we merely
asked you for .5,000 dollars, but now we Lave
carefully considered the subject and we must
have 30,000 dollars." Mr. Bonet] replied that,
such an amount was quite out of their power
to give, and that the best thing would be to
kill them at once. Both be and his nephew
were prepared to die courageously; they only
supplicated that the manner of their death
migght be one attended with the least possible
suffering: This ityle of 'answer seems to have
'met the approbation - of all - the brigands, for
from that moment they were' treated with
more rftpectiand - less - harahly - addressed..
The brigands at length ascertained that they'
would get 27,000 dollars, and determined on
the release of their prisoners.
. . Mr,.. Bonell, sen...was blindfolded; mounted'
on horseback, and, accompanied by two rob
bers, removed from his nephew. He rode for
some six bours,lut he is confident that he was
taken backwards and forwards and round the
house, for the handkerchief being somewhat
loosely tied' he was enabled to recognize stones
and marks on the road. When they halted the
bandage was taken from his eyes, and he
found himself at the entrance to Xeres. They
entered a fonda for refreshment. the captain
,ef the band warning his captive to appear as.
C much, as possible like an ordinary- traveler,and
that on his discreet conduct depended not - only
_ his_own_life but that of his nephew. From
Xeres Mr. John Bonet] went to Cadiz,and the
..tort' of,his arrival here and . his departtire
with the ransom money has already been told.
The manner in which the ransom was handed
over to the robbers haa also appeared in print.-
A few words about the movements of the
nephew - will now complete the history of
this remarkable affair. On Monday evening
one of the robbers arrived and told the
nephew that the ransom had been paid, and
that very shortly he would be set at liberty.
About an hour after the three other men came
and, placing all the money on the table, Mr.
lionell, Jr.,was ordered to count it, and divide
it into live equal portions, placing $2,000 aside
for special. expenses. While-.doing this Don
Antonio jocosely remarked, " That really such '
a large sum of money made a very small show
on-the table." About midnight Mr. Bonell
. was:blindfolded and placed on horseback with
one of the brigands'; they roae for about two
=-hours, when they dismounted. - and - Mr: Bo
nell's eyes were uncovered. He was told to
remain where he was till daybreak, and that
then he was to proceed a short distance in
front, where he would discover a railway
station. He was to take a ticket for Port St.
Mary's, and on arrival there he would
either find his friends waiting for him
at the station or at the Fonda de los
Toros. Soon after the brigand bad left a
Sereno, or night watchman,
challenged him.
It appears most probable that this man was
one of the gang, and that the real Sereno had
been bribed to '° pass by on the other' side,"
for having lied Mr. Bonell with numerous
questions, finally asked him if he had heard
I that two ge, tlemen from Gibraltar had been
y
taken awa .by brigands. Fortunately Mr.
Bona retained his presence of mind and put
off these queries with'svasive replies. Event
ually the Sereno and Mr. Bonell repaired to
a ventorillo close by, where they remained
_fillabout seveno'clock,A.-11--whenthetrain
was ready. Mr. Bonet! then went to the sta
tion, and learned for the first time that he was
at Xeres. I must not omit to mention that,
previous to the robbers leaving him at day
break, they had courteously returned the ten
dollars they had borrowed from him on the
first night. At Puerta Santa Maria young Mr.
Bone] met his uncle and friends waiting for
iiim_at_the-station,

General Babcock's Instructions
corning the St. Domingo Treaty.
The following correspondence explains
itself:
UNITED STATES SENATE, _ WASHINGTON,
June 28, 1870.—Mr. President: Thereris a rumor
that, General Babcock used your name with
out authority in reference to the confidential
basis for the annexation of St. Domingo, and
that General Babcock exceeded the verbal in
structions given him in regard to the Tele=
grafo and the sending of the Tuscarora after
that piratical craft. The' select committee

ations or statements you may see fit to make
on these subjects, should you - think it worth

to-day, I am pleased to inform you that Gen.
Babcock did not exceed my wishes or my
verbal instructions to him in connection with
the confidential basis. Gen. Babcock - was
sent to St. Domingo to ascertain, so far as :he
could, the wishes of the Dominican people
and government with respect to annexation
to the United States. If he found them favor
able, be was directed to - ascertain the terms on which they desired annexation. He brought
the confidential basis, whi was not binding '
nor intended to be binding lipon either govern
ment •unless each saw fit to continue-the
negotiations.- It contains a clause, making it
into
effect.
and void unless accepted and carried
effect I altio directed the Secretary of the
Navy to send by Gen. Babcock such. instruc
tions to the commanding officer of the United
States steamer Seminole as would direct hint
to seize the Telegrafo, if found on the high_
seas,, and send her to Baltimore fir adilidica
tion, she having interfered with our merchant
shipping. In transferring - these instructions
the commanding officer-a the Tuscarora,
Gen. Babcock did
,no more than was his duty.
Gelt - Babcock's conduct throughout meets my
entire approval. Yours truly,

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29, 1870
On Sunday, during the most exciting time,
(leer and rabbits were seen crossing the road
to Babylon and the rilroad in larg. numbers.
A large field of corn on the north - of the rail
road caught tire and burned like so much tin
der. Hundreds of acres of grass were also
burned. From twenty-five to fifty smiles 'of
fence shared the same fate, as well as a num
ber of thousand feet of timber. On Sunday
afternoon a large pile of! railroad ties - coin:"
menced to burn; but it was immediately put
out by the foreman of the railroad squad.
The people in this section are bitter against
the Long Island Railroad Company, clatming ; _„
that the nettings on the smokestacks of their
locomotives are all worn out and do not con
fine the sparks.
Before the shower on Sunday there had been
no rain in this vicinity for six weeks and
everything was dry and badly parched. The
shower - seems - to - have - beeneontined - to - a — wiry
narrow tract of country, for it did not rain
either a mile north or south of the burned dis
trict.—N. Y. Repaid.
Wholesale Murders in Algeria.
In the Courier d'Oran a frightful criutais_r
corded, Which, even in.the unhappy country of
Algeria, has hardly been paralleled. On the
27th of May, at Mascara, about seven o'clock
in the morning, an Arab,who had been known
as a wandering marabout, living upon alms,
secreted from a butcher's Shop an ax, and,hid
ing it under his bournous, posted himself upon
a bridge. This particular bridge, especially
on Friday, is crowded with people going to
market—Arabs, Jews and Europeans being
indiscriminately mixed. Into this crowd the
fanatic rushed, striking from behind with his
axe, and in less than ten minutes felling four
teen persons to the ground. A terrible con
sternation took possession of allpresent. Thii
neighboring shopkeepers closed their shops,
the wounded were. carried away, but no one.
seemed" 'to= have attenipted to seize the Mis
creant. At last two Spahis after a desperate
struggle secured him. an I he was conveyed to.
the Bureau Arabe Militaire, where, after soma
delay; the civil and military authoriti es arrived
to inquire into,the matter. It is noteworthy
that the victims were selected 'solely from the
European population, the Arabs not only be- ,
ing spared, but exhorted to help in the slatigii-
ter. As the Arabs were mustered in large
numbers at the time, from 1,500 to 2,000, and
always carry long knives, any infection of
fanaticism might have had fearful results. As
it is, the lives of several of the wounded per
sons are despaired of:

Detail of the Losses.
The, largest Are which has ever occurred in
be woods of Long Island commenced a few
minutes after .12 o'clock. on Saturday noon,
on the line of the Long Island Itailroad.about
one and a half mile east of Deer Park Station.
The-fire originated from a spark from the loco-.
motive attached to.the freight train going east,
and In the immediate vicinity of where the
foreman.of the Deer Park section was at work
with eight, men. N'otwitlistanding the fire
'originated an it did, these men, it is said,
neither :lifted a Anger to stay the destroying
element nor Warned others of the greatdanger
oft general conflagration.' farmers of
thneighborhood were all at work-in the hay
, .
fields, and although some of them saw the
flames, none of them were aware of the danger
until about lour P. M., when it commenced to
spread in a tearful manner.
The Compte of the Flamit ,
_
was at first eastward, towards, Boulevard
station, driven by a light westerly wind.
About midnight Saturday- night the - wind
changed to northeast and the flames com
menced to run south towards Babylon and the
more thickly populated-Sections. - The alarm.
now became general, and as many as 500 men
were at this tunelighting the flames... Sunday
morning found a tract overrun twoand'a half'
- miles east and west, and nearly three miles
south, but little fear was entertained that the
fire would run further south, and it looked as
if the force of the conflagration was spent.
About this time the wind • commenced to
freshen. and -blow- from—the .. sontheast.' 'The'
flamesgained new headway and commenced
to run directly towards Deer Park.
At two o'clock Sunday afternoon the smoke
was so dense in the houses of Deer Park that
theinmatcs could - 12dt stay in them. The entire
heaveng were black, - as if- a dense cloud of
smoke hung overhead. The roaring of the
-flames, the sound of falling trees, the shouts of
the men and the darknesS of night, which
hung over what seemed to be a doomed vil
lage were _
' "truly AppallinA". -
The school-house fence was already on-fine,
and the people were-busily-engaged in - hastily -
removing the valuables from their homes,
when of a sudden it commenced to rain. For
an hour the rain poured in torrents. At first
it did not have much effect on • the devouring
flames, but before a half hour was over it _was
evident.that thevillage was saved. The men
who bad been at work So long took new
heart, and by nightfall the fire was conquered.
The following are some of -
The Losses.
D. H. Skidmore loses 200 cords of wood and
about 700 acres burned over; Elbert ()aril

OBITUARY.
Senor C. Jose Morales Lomas.
Senor Morales Lemus, the Minister from
the republic of Cuba to the United States, died
at two o'clock yesterday afternoon,at his resi
dence No. 368 Bedford avenue, Brooklyn.
He had been for some time past afflicted with
heart fflsease, 'which was intensified of
late by the constant labor and excitement
he' was compelled to undergo in his efforts.
to advance the cause of his native land. On
more than one occasion his physicians ex
pressed a fear that unless he took e more rest
and avoided the discussion of subjects calcu
lated tti excite him that there was danger of
file lesing his life. , And it is altogether i pro
bable that the, recent letter of President
Grant to Congress and the subsequent action
of the House of Representatives on the reso
lutions of General Banks hastened, to some
extent, the end of his life.
The deceased Minister was born - at•Gibara, -
Cuba, in the month of May, 1808. His early
years were spent at Holguin, a plate which
has become prominent since the outbreak of)
the pendihg contest. "Here he received as 7
good an education as the island afforded, his
family -being a wealthy one. At the early age
-of twenty years i while'yet a student of law,
Senor Lemus married Senora Rosario Portero.
-Seven - years later he received his - degree -as
'lawyer, and entering into practice, soon be
-came distinguished in his profession. He also
acquired reputation in Cuba and to some ex
tent in Spain, as an able writer on legal ques
tions. Long known to all his acquaintances
and friends , as- an. unswerving opponent of
Spanish rule, in Cuba he welcomed the revolu
tionary outbreak of 1868, and at once gave it
his hearty support. He was appointed by
President Cespedes on a mission to the United
States, and arrived 'in this city in January of
last year. All that he could do to aid his com
patriots was done. He endeavored to obtain
recognition of belligerency, and, as we know,
failed, .He made every effort to prevent the
departure of the Spanish gunboats from New
York ; .: but without .sucaess. Several expec t tions were despatched by him to _Cuba, but
the most important ,of all, that commiuded
by the-late General Goicouria and Colonel
Ryan, was prevented •leaving by the
vigilance of the United States authorities.
Notwithstanding his many failures• Senor
Lemus never relaxed his
. efforts to secure the
triumph of the Cuban cause. Too far acl
vanced in years to fight in person, he gave his
civil services and his fortune to his country.
He was, in fact, a devoted patriot, whose loss
to Cuba will be severely felt. The deceased
leaves a widow and brother, both of whom are
in this country. On Friday afternoon his re
mains will be taken to Greenwood-.and'-de--
posited in a vault, where they will rest until
the time arrives when they can be removed
to Cuba.'
