ASIESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT. Wasmtxatoy, D. C., dau. 20,~The Presideat’a moasago relative to aduitionnl sea-coaat defenses was agreat surprise to the House, The Com- mittoo on Military Affairs immediately called a epecial meeting for to-morrow morning to con- sider it. Tho members of that Commilteo to- night eay that itis unfortunately truo that thé aea-coast defensos aro at present in a vory weak condition, and that our present armament would bo abrolutely worthless in tho ovent of attacks ‘by & forcign foo with tho now, heavy guns of Europe, The Committes say, however, that they must be moro thoroughly advised as to the necessity of immediate srmament before thoy can report the additional appropria- tions at this time, when Congress is called upon to impose additional tax burdens upon the peo- plo to provide for tho ctwrent expendituros of tho Government. The apprehensions that tho President'a meseaga mas refer to the possibil- ity of VERY GERIOUS DIF. CRENCESWITH HPAIN ennnot be disguised; uoither can there bo any doubt that tho anticipation of euch » possibility by tho Prosident, and the consoquont desira of a soldier Preaident to have the nation prepared for any emergency, aro the reauaus which prompted tho preparation of tho message. ‘She iast advices aro that tho matters with Spain sro in process of amicable adjust- anont, except a3 regards the vessel Virgins itself. Uho trouble which seemed possible in tho caso of Creat Britain has beon settled, The Stato Denartmont has discovered that thera woro no colored mon among tho Amencans eliot. This question of color cannot, therofora, ariso, and tho Stato Department has agreed to accept tho terms of settlement between Spain and Great Britalo. These terms were $500 for the family of every victim, ‘be chief remaiuing difficulty in as to the vessel. The Spsauish authori- ties seized the Virginius, and oondomued her ino prize court, ‘The award af tho veatol was mads to the Spanish officers, Before thy United States took the slup the Attorney General of tho United States decided THAT THE UNITED STATES HAD NO JURISDICTION of tha vessel. ‘Toktog. this admivstou as a basis, tho Spanish Minixtor here has mao an intima- tion to our Government that Spas wiil demand from this Government tho prize yalio of tho Virginius 28 awardod to the Spavish officers in the Spanieh-Cuban courts, ‘The knowledge that tho diplomatic nogotin- tiony sro at this stago conplod = with tho President's meseago has created some uneasiness lero among thoughtful men, Itiaknown that but little would be re- qnired to excite the open hostility of the Madrid Government towards this country, ‘The threat- ened interfcrenco of the Unitod Btntes is an elo- ment of strength to tho Spanish Bourbons.

THE DEMOCRATS aro endeayoriug to make great capital ot of the meugsgo, Senator Thurman saye that the possi- bility of swar with Spain during tho coming sunviner is imminent, Tho opponents af the Ad- ministration Insist that the message is part of & scheme for a third term. Tho friends of the Administration do not look behind tho measago to discover any ulterior purpose, ‘The special mossage con- taits only n renewal of the recommoudation for the lant two yoara. ‘The importance of prepar- ing for war in tame of peace by providing proper ariuamonts for our sea-coast dofonecs has long been the settled policy of the President. ‘The sea-conut defouses Are now manifestly inade- quate for any emorgency of war. ‘Lho ordnance ofticers say that we havo no heavy gins equal in calabro or rangoto thoxe of European Pow or, Gen, Shorman, in his professional examination before the Honve Military Cormmittes, @atd that enorgl sinslt arms to begin to supply an army could be manufacturod in two weeks, and on account of the conmtaut improvements it in unwino to keep on hand a largo stock of umall arms; but that months of great skill aud com- plicated machinery ara requisite for tho con- struction of heavy ordnance. Nouo of those things can bo obtained whon war iv declared, Mombers of the Military Comuuuttee who have recently examined tho ordnance question, yay thay our coast defengen aro in such & condition that in many points, in tho ovent of war, we should bo at the merey of « foreign foe, Tho torpedo system in Now Yori barbor is an excep- tion to the general statement.

INGHAM'S ETORY. Special Dispatch to The Chreana Tribune, Wasnixotos, D. C., Jan, 20.—Schuyler R. Ing- ham, of the Chicago Inter-Ocean, was to-day ex- amined by a Sub-Committee of tho Committeo on Wavs and Means, on account of bis counec- tlon with Irwin and the Pacifle Mailenbsidy, Ingham’s physical condition was such that it wan neceseary to examine him in his chamber, Tho following is o brief abstract of his testimony. Ife is not connected in aay active businees at present. Was not summoned, but camo yolun- tarily bocauso bis namo was mentioued in the Abert liet. Abert paid to him £5,000in Washing- ton. Irwinenbsoquently paid bim in Sau Francisco £5,000 moro, making £10,600, Daring tho win- ter of 1871+'72, Ingham was hera endeavoring to secure tho paxsszo of a bill for tho irrigation of the Bear River Valloy, Utah, whero he was in- terested in lands. The Paciflo Mail was at that timo before Congress. Ingham received a noto fromirwin asking him to call upon bim, Ho calicd. Irwin said he had beon informed that Ingham was avterested in Dill, and that ho might do something to help him (Irwin), Ingham proposed to —ansalst Irwin tn return for assjutanco on his own Bear River bill, Irwin refused this mutual ausistanco, saying be proferred to give €10,000, Ingham told hin that $10,000 would be no ser- yice to him in compnrison to the passage of his Bear River bill. Irwin preferred to makea money considoration. Ingham said he would not bo in Washington much of tho timo, but had friends in Wall street who wero largely interost- edinashort interest inthe Pacific stock. Ho thought Le might help Irwiu in this way by counteracting the short interest, Ingham ACCEYTED INWIN'B PROPOSITION, asisted in evory way ho conld in Washington or Now York; talked with oll bis friends; said little to those who were favorable to the scheme; advoented the measure with oll who were op- posed to it, but uscd no othor arguments than those that were used on the floor of Congress. Tho first 5,000 received from Abert, Ingham dopogited with his old Wall street firm. 5, B. Whito. Ingham traced the proceeds of this do- posit in paymont by chooks, Tha other &5,0U0, paid to lim by Irwin in San Francisco, waa also. traced through a bank at Salt Lalo City. Nano of it wont to Congr mon, sugham was unable to say what special servico he had rendered Irwin, This ditticutt question ho had often asked bimeelf, Tho ser- vica, €o far a8 he could jadge, consisted in thoso general conversations and advocacy of tho met tire, Ho noyer prepared a tally-list for Irwin, and nover informed him how tho votes etood, Iio never intimated the names of any Congrear- men whom he might intluence, and nover said thet he could influctice any. Ho never {nformed any niembor of Congress that ho was a paid at- torney of Itwin. Ho thought ho MAD A PERFECT RIGHT TO DO WIIAT UF Dip, Ho carried no Pacific Mail stock for members, and vasa hittle shy of it himself; lost some- thing init. No part of tho 810,000 baa avor boen paid any member of Congress, cither by money loan or valunble considoratiou. Ing- ‘Waar’ feo was contingont upon the passage of the eubsidy. Irwin told him that if the till was passed ho wouk! do what wis ngbt, Ingham never told any Congressman that ‘ho had a con- tingent interest in the passage of tho bill, Tugham, in responto to all general interroga- tions, made this tinal anawer: ‘1 did not at- tempt to influence any membors of Congress or Senator, or other Goyernmont ofiicor, in any other manner than by arguinent, giving the rensons that wore frequently stated upon tho floor of the House.” ‘ ‘The Sub-Committos said they wore sntistled with the testimony. WETMONE’S OFFENSE. “ The House has cont a journalist to fail, and in so doing has establshod a yery curious preco- dent, He was sent there not becauso he had re- fused to aussor any quostion, but becausa Lio was impertinent in anawering a question.

There is conviderablo consternetion among tho 0 havo textified as to tho charac- ter of Irwin's testimony. Most of the evidonca has been given in the confident reliance that Irwin's lips wore sealnd. If he tells tho whole truth, thore is httle doubt that SOMENODY WILL UE PROVED 70 HAVE LIED. Notwithstanding Irwia's determmation to ba ret- icent, it in believed that bis entire line of tcati- mony will be nearly in the following words.
