AAE COMMANDER,OF THE AUSTRIAN ARMY OF OCCUFATION OF IOSNIA. Pall il Gaseite. Felazeugmeister Philipovich, the Command- er-in-Chief of the Austrian forces mobilized to form the army of occupation of Bosnia and Her- zegovina, belongs to a family Joog resident in Bostou, and which, before the proviuce was cou- quered by the Turks, belonged to the old nobil- ity of the country. . The father of ghe presnnt Feldzcuzmelster was a Captain in offe of the old Austrian frontier regiments; and Joseph Philipovich, the Feld- zeugmelsier, as well as his younyer brother Francis, vow vommandanta: Aeram, are Ronn Catholi Joseph _received his military cducation at the School of ~Ploneers at Tulln; and shortly after receiving Ins commission_ was appointed to _ the general stafl of the army. -In 1848 and 1840 he took Dart in the cunpaizns dn Huneary, and in 1859 commanded # brizudesof the Eighth Corps; distinguished himself particularly at the battle of San Martina.

IGNATIEFF. ALLEGED LETTER FROM TUL RUSSIAX DIP- LOMAT. . ¥ . Philadelvhia Press. The Dublin Frezman’s Journal has published portions of a letter from Gen. Iznatieff to one of his countrymen in the Inshmetropolis, which plainly indiéates, what many politicians and diplomatists hsve suspected’and suggested, that Ruesia has got more than she anticipated from {he recent settlement of European. affairs, tiay- fug prepared Tor this by riving a remarkable broad base to the treaty signed at San Stefano, and that the Czar was not surprised nor an- poged by 'the private treaty which transfers Cyprus to Queen Victoria,: making her head of a protectorate over Asia Minor. : ornatiefl's letter; as printed in the Dublin papers; carries with it, fu -ilanguage and facts, internal evidence of general. suthenticity. -1t begins by stating that the writer was satisfied with what heé bad done for: Russia before and after the war of 1577, and that he expected that his Sovereirn azd his country would be gratetul to bim when the Treaty of iBerlin was - siumed. VY suppose,” hie wrote, “no‘one_but a fool can tnink that I expected the treaty I drew up with ‘Tarkey last March tostand inits integrity. Taded doble expecting half 1o be ratified by the Powers. But they have pone infinitely beyond my hopes, and Beaconsficld and Andrassy huze sriven us threequarters.”’ Ignatiefl stutes to his friend that England will obtain coutrol of Asia Minor by the contract with Turkey which gives ber the right of mili- tary occupation in Cyprus, but declares that En- zland} having this control, will be held respoun- sible for the good government of that country, which must put her in constant collision v:irzn Turkey. The mnse%:lcnce. he says, will be, that fn a few years England cunnot fafl to be most odious to the Government of Turkey, which will finally see.that they can lean on Rus- sla alone, and that any power Eugland may ob- tain in the management of Asia Minorwl rath- cr weaken than strengthen her fu any future collision with Russia. Ihe reuson of this, it must be admitted, is not so clear us that of Gen. Iga- tiell's other opinion. As to the possession of Kars, that alone, the subtle Muscovite affirms, would compensate for the Russiun sacrifices in the late war. Gon. Todleben, Who so ably fortitied Scbastopol duringz tne. Crimean ‘war, will mauke Kare, when he hus time, the strongest fortress in the world, absolutely impreguable. If Eugland, Ighaticfl suys, were to Jand an ‘ex- peditionary foree bereafter, the position of Kars would rénder Armenia untenuble to any enemy mustering u smuller force than 200,000 men. Finully, this sazacious and plaiu-spoken Russian diplomatist. believes that what has been done i3 ten times more unfortunate for England. than for Turkey. * England,” he aftirme, “inust benceforth add enormousty to her mili- tary budget, and the futerests the Prime Minis- ter has awakened and excited in the nation will certaiuly lead, at no distant day, to the intro- duction of a system of conscription or cowpul- sory military service.” . MEXICO. ESCOBEDO. St. Louis Globe-Demacrat. Now that the forces of Gen. Diaz have at last succeeded fn capturing Gen. Escobedo and takiug him as a prisoner to Monterey, it is very probable that he himself may experience that speedy and merciless punisbment which he was the means of meting out to the unfortunate Maximiliaa of Austrin and his two Generals, Miramon and Mejia. In Jane, 1867, the Em- peror, with a small force, arrived at Querctaro, with the intention of making a last stund there. Escobedo avpeared before the_city, aud, having succeeded in bribing Col. Lopez, entered se- cretly by night and arrested Maximilian himselt und his principal officers. The Court-Martinl for their trial met on the 13th, and on the 19th the sentence was carried out. Esco- vedo Iimself . urged. this_ measure of unnecessary severity on President Jua- rez. He is a restiess and ambitious man, and the result hus shown that he never had any chance_whatever of succeeding in his revolutionary desigms. He only threw the country inoto disorder, and was the means of complicating cur own relations with Mexico. When he entered into his mad attemot to drive out Diaz and bring Lerdo back, he must have been aware that his own life was at stake. Now be is caught, the . penalty will_probubly be ex- acted. It heis released he wiil at once besin toplot another revolution, and, under all cir- cumstances, his prompt_execation will perhaps be the best thing for his countrv. It will be Dbut justice. and in bis prison Escobedo can easily realize the memorable words of Macbeth when, in_his soliloguy, he broods over the cou- templated murder of Duncan: ‘We bat teach Bloody instructions, which, being taucht, retarn “To plague the inventor.

Revonno Oficials “Barrowing “for Whisky Crookedness. Spacial Dispateh to The Tribune. Pronia, I, Aug. 3.—For severatdays past Revenue Agent Trutabull, of Springfield, and Deputy Collector Somerville, of Chicago, have been actively cmployed in unearthing some hitherto concealed facts relative to the old Tekin Whisky Ring, of which Lleory Westermin was the hesd-centre. It will be remembered that ic was caught in the act of running off crooked goods, and his house was condemned. Jle was indicted, pleaded guilty, and was let off with a very moderate fine. The other two dis- tillers, Reisinger and McIntyre, succecded in covering their tracks 50 well that the only pen- alties to which they were subjected were two or three assessments. Westerman, who, it scoms, was the scapegoat for the sinsof the ring, and is now practically bankrupt, grieves very much over the treatmeut which be has since recelved at their hands. ‘They have potat- ed him out as the boss whisky-tax evader, and boast ofthe fact that they never were indicted. The two revenue officers huve had frequent io- terviews with Westerman, and commuuicated the resutts thereof to the Department at Washineton. The reports were of so grave o chamacter that it was thought advisable to bave the whole af- fiir thoroughly sifted by Gen. Sewell, the chief of the revenue agents. fe arrived this afternoon, avd for several hours was closeted cith bis subordinates. The three oflicials are extremely reticent, and_positively decitue to o fnto auy particulars. From sentences dropped here and there your reporter bas learncd that on twu different occasions the Government bid in the same piece of land, some 3X) seres of swamp lots, in satisfuction 'of assessments awruinst the Reisinzer property. which be pur- chased at u tax-sale two or three days before the judgiment was entered ap, sud this fo view of the fact that there was property which sight nuve been lesied upon, but wasi't.

Foxp po Lac, Wis.,, Aug, 3.—Nothiug of a fnenciul or commercial uutare ever coused greater commotion throughout the State, and especially in Fond du Luc, than the dispatch in TRz TrIBONE that the Hou. W. H. Hiner, of this city, was a defuulter. In this city all other matters were dropped and this alone Was the theme of conversation. Thioking that s state rient from Mr. Hiner would be of iuterest to all politiciuns and Masons iu the Northwest, where he is so well kuown, o represcutative of Tug TrisoNe called - upon him. He was found at his elewant home, and in good humor and spirits. Ile was not reticent. He had pothing to conceal, he said, as he hed done nothing surreptitiously or with dishonest intent. Ie bas been, until this year, Treasurer of the Masonfc Grand Lodge for many years. At the beginningof the panic be owned property which cost him over $100,00, and which he cou- sidered worth more than this. It had an fn- cumbrance of only $6,000. He then employed not less thau 120 -men, and did o larze and lu- crative business 03 8 founder. Business began 10 grow dull snd duller.’ In 1674 he had $80,000 of protested paper returned. snd to square up ois oblizations at that time consumed all bis available cash’ capital. “He then, four years ago, hypothecated the securities of the Grand Lodgeaud used them to meet obligu- tions then due. He did so thinking that, at a fortnight’s warning, he could mortgagehis large property. and not only reimburse the Lodge but reimburse any other unsecured creditors. But the dall times erew still duller, and moncy was mot tu be bad on ordinary secarl- ties. About this time he fudorsed a note for a large amount to accommodate business friends. The security offered was the word of an bonorable and wealthy bauker, 8 uantity of pinc lauds, and a saw-mill property. rfhe banker died, leaving no_provision to keep his promise; the pine-land securities roved utterly wortaless; and the sawmill was al lowed 10 be sold, without his_knowledge, for taxes, Last Junuary he was called upon to pay this note. In order to save bonu-fide creditors and 1ot allow the mote to reach a judzment, and tius become a preferred —creditor, he filed a petition in bankruptey- lThls, As a00n a8 his petition was tiled, he notified the Grand Lodge that he could not longer remaiu the custodian of the Masonic tund, und turoed over ut the same time several thousand dollars which he had not used. The $10,000 of Lodze funds which he liad used be dia not schedule in his petition for bakruptey, because he wwas ndvised by Cougressman Bouck (one of his bondsuien) and others ook to do 50, s they lad faith In his ability to soon make the dis- crepsficy #ood. In June last the Grand Lodge ~ met at Miiwaukee, and . Mr. Hiver explaiued. bis situation.. Re said that \wher & man’s house is buruing he does not stop Lo ask who owns Lhis bucket or that pail, but seizes angtling which is buudy aud attémpts to cxtingsh the fire and save his house. He had Useud the moneyiu such 3 inanuer, but ot doubtine his ability to_replace it at auy time. Mr. Hiner says the schedule of losses first pub- listed in THe TRIBUNE is mot correct. In- stead of having S100,000 of unsccured debts, he has, not inciuding the Lodge funds, only $45,000.

The other bondsmen ine tioned Fred Kalk, » druggist; Jonn Spence, Secr fary and Treasurer of the McDonald Manuk turing Company; and John §. Burrows, Cashier ot Buker's Bank—are all men of pruperty aud houor residing here; but the statement tuat they are putting wbeir property out of their hands 1s » false one, as none of them regard themsclves liable on the bond. Every one of them was seen by yoar correspondent, and they have not aud will not make any sssignment of property. Mr. Burrows says he does uot think it would be right for the lodge to sell bis household and entail a great loas upon him in- dividually simply 1o protect 1,000 Masous from an averaze loss 0f 85 cents apiece. He sayshie fsmot holden, as he is noton the lost years boud, when the defalcution, so-called, bécamne kuown, and_hence does not propose o pay it.

Hence Mr. Spence thinks that, although the defaleation Was progressing while several dulercot ones were on the bonds, only the last ones are holden, because no defaleation was known until .Y became responsible, and the former bad ¥ bondsmen properly relicved. Others ro- ard it differently, and if Mr. Hiner cannot pay the amouat this witl be the contested point when un attemot_is made to collect it of the bondsmen.
