The Yantie was bound to New York, and was only one day out when the Gamecock was sighted. Pending orders from Washington, the tug has been returned to the original owners and her navigators lodged in fail as traitors. A quantity of arms and ammu- nition was found upon the vessel. The Yantic, after taking her in, proceeded at once to } York. The rebels upon the Gamecock retused to surrender when called upon to do so, and it was necessary to fire a bow-chaser. This was the only shot fired, and it had the desired ef- fect. Way He ResicNep His UNiTED STATES ComMissIoNERSHIP.—The application of Mr. James H.

A PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT ORDER- ING THE REMOVAL OF THE UNLAWFUL IX- CLOSURES. ‘The President yesterday issued a proclama- tion ordering and directing that any and every unlawful inclosure of public lands, maintained by any person, assoclation, or corporation, be immediately removed, and forbidding any per- son, association, or corporation from preventing or obstructing by means of such inclosures or by force, threats, or intimidation any person entitied thereto, from peaceably entering upon and establishing a settlement or residence on any partof such public land which is subject to eniry and settlement under the laws of the Uniied States. The proclamation commands and requires each and every officer of the United States, upon whom the duty is legally devolved, 16 cause this order to be obeyed, and alll the provi- sions of the act of Congress faithfully enforced. ‘The proclamation was caused by information reaching the President that unlawful inclosures, and such as are ited. by the terms of the February 25th, 1885, exist upon win, and that actual legal settle- ic dom: rican Commission.

His Remarkable Career and Heroic —— Friendship fer the United tates, A TALK WITH xR. CURTIS oF THE SOUTH AMERICAN COMMISSION. Mr. W. E. Curtis, of the South American com- mission, who is in the city, in speaking toa Star reporter to-day of the recent trip of the commission, said that the man who stood a head and shoulders above all others the com- mission met was President Barrios, of Guate- mala, “He was as great aman in his way 9s either Napoleon or Grant,” said Mr. Curtis, “He possessed all the natural gifts which tend to make a great leader, but he was lacking in the advantages of education, He never went to School @ day in his life, He was as brave as @ lion, and perfectly cool and composed in the greatest danger. An attempt was made to assassinate him by throwing bomb at him. It fell at his feet, and Barrios quietly put bis foot upon the fuse’and oxtingnisted ity remark ing as he didso, ‘these people don't iknow enough In the conference between the commission and Barrios last March the little seven-year-old daughter of the president acted as interpreter, seated upon hertather's knee. At this meeting Barrios sald: “When you go back to your people tell them I'am with them, and intend to come one ofthem. After [have accomplished the anion of the Central American states I in- tend togo to New York, where I now have @ house, to reside there and become a citizen.’” AN EVIL OMEN. “An exciting incident happened in Guate- mala the night before Barrios left for the war. A grand celebration was held in the opera house in his honor, All the military bands of the country were united and rendered a march composed in honor of Barrios by the greatest musical leader in the country, who led the mammoth band. The building was filled to its utmost limits, and the greatest enthusiasm revailed. In the midst of the celebration a large banner or screen was lowered over the front of the s!age with the inscription, “Vive la Union de Centio Americano.” ‘Vive la J. Rutino Barrios, Hefe Militar.’ Below were popu- Jar sentiments wishing him victory and success, ‘The excitement was intense, Men aud woman rose to their feet and cheered until they were hoarse. When the enthusiasm was at its high- est the banner suddenly split in two, from the weight of the roller at the bottom, through the name of Barrios, and the lower half fell to the floor, Had an carthquake occurred the effect could not have been greater. The cheering was instantly turned to wailing, and many people left the building oppressed with the evil omen. (Among them was Barrios wite, who firmly be: din the omen and was satisfied that the death of her husband was near at hand. An ut- temptwas made toagain arouse a demonstration butit falled dismally. ‘The people were super- stitious, and all but’ Barrios, who was absent and was ignorant of the accident, accepted it as a premonition of evil, Barrios left the next morning at four o'clock for the war and was KILLED IN THE FIRST BATTLE, He died bravely,” continued Mr, Curtis, “He was sitting in his tent writing to his wife on Sunday morning. His son had left only a short time before at the head of a reconoitering party. They soon met astrong force of the enemy and were driven back upon the camp. Barrios rushed out of bis tent to learn. the ause of the confusion. He took in the sitna- tion at a glance, and springing bare-headed upon ahorse, calied to his men fo follow him. His voice acted like masic, for everybody wor- shiped him. They turned on the euemy, but Barrios was kilied early in the fight.” FRIENDLY TO THE UNITED STATES, “Barrios was more interested in fostering friendly relations with the United States than any president the commission met. He stated that If he had his way Guatemala should trade exclusively with us. He would so arrange the customs laws that everything manufactured here should be admitted Into Guatemala free of duty, provided we would receive coffee and sugar free. The reports of Barrios’ opposition to the Nicaraguan canal were indignantly de- nied by him, and he referred us to the corre- spondence it the possession of Minister Hull to show his position on the question, His only objection to the t was the payment of $1,000,000 to Nicaragua by the United Staten, He thought the right ought to be granted free, the advantayes which would accrue to wus trom the canal could not be meas- with money. Nicaragua was in debt to he said, and the money c the government ‘out of its difficul- ties. Hence his Barrios’) objection to the money clause was received with great disfavor by the Nicaraguans. The Cruise of the Training Ships. REPORT OF COMMANDER TERRY. Commander Silas W. Terry, commanding the training squadron, reports to’ the Navy depart- ment under date of Funchal, Madeira,July 25th, that he expected to sail for home the next day with the Portsmouth, Saratoga, and James- town, and would arrange to arrive at Newport not earlier than September 5th. Reports tndi- dicated that cholera has made it appearance in the vicinity of Cadiz and Gibraltar, and he felt that it was well that the vessels avoided both places. ‘The anchorage at Funchal afforded 0 plendid opportunity for exercising the appren- aud the stay there was extended a lew “Son that account.

During the absence of the President the White House will be overhauled and renovated, as is customary with every recurring summer. Com- paratively little will be done, however, as there are but few needed changes or repairs, and the appropriation avallable this year is oniy huifas large as last year. The building was closed to visitors immediately after the departure of the President, and early Monday morning work- men begah cleaning and repairing. The carpets were removed some time ago, and, as the pubite rooms were painted last year, nothing ‘was necessary but to glve the wood Work and man. tels @ thorough washing and to remove and clean the glass chandeliers. Some needed re- pairs to the interior of the President's stables Were completed a few days ago, The main stairway between the large corridor and the East room was sprung near the top by the large crowds which attended the President's recep- tions last spring, and workmen are now engaged in repairing the damage by putting im iron girders. The conservatory is being repaired and the greenhouses painted. ‘The work of reno- vating the White House will be completed by the 1st of September ee ____ A Cherokee Tribute to Gen. Grant.

HE HAS A CONFERENCE WITH GOV. HILL AND THEN STARTS FOR THE WOODS, A telegram from Albany to the New York Times last evening says: “A conference of three- quarters of an hour between President Clev land and Gov. Hill to-day in the governor's private room in the capitol has set the tongues ofall the gossips wagging to-night, What was said during the 45 minutes’ talk there of course only the two men know, but Gov. Hill's friends say that he was very much pleased with the tone ofthe interview. Whilst admitting that most of the time was occupied with the inter- a of views and in the consideration of per- jal matters, ter assert that the coming political campaign in this state was briefly, bul ‘ly discussed. It is said that President Cleve- land assured Gov. Hill that the national adfain- istration did not intend to take part in the fight in New York state, but would maintain a neutral position, and would not do Goad either in favor of or in opposition to any candi- Gate. Ita policy was well defined, and if the democratic convention indorsed the course of the federal administration and nominated a teket on that platform the President would be Satlafied. Whether or not Mr. Cleveland said this, it is certain that those nearest to Gov. Hill are site elated over the event of the day, and think that his chances of a nomination ‘were never brighter, At 11:30 Mr. Cleveland and Dr. Ward started in aspecial car over the Rensselaer and Sara- toga railway for Plattsburg, where they will brenitiast wo-day and begin thelr Journey into 1 Prospect house, on the t Saranac lake, a drive or neat 50 miles.” a Bronght Back from New Zealand. MAXWELL, THE ALLEGED MURDERER OF PREI- LER, LANDED AT SAN FRANCISCO—A FRENCH- MAN WHO CANNOT TALK FRENCH. The steamship Zealandia, having on board Detectives George W. Badger and James Tracy, of St. Louls, Mo., who had in custody Walter Horace Lennox, alias Maxwell, alias Theodore Cecll Daugnier, extradited as the murderer, in St. Louis, of C. Arthur Preller, arrived in San Francisoo yesterday. Half a score of newspaper men boarded the ship while on her way to quarantine, and found Maxwell in a state-room, where he had been confined during the entire passage trom New Zealand, under surveillance of the St. Louis detectives.’ Maxwell's baggage was searched, and then, with the detectives, he was taken ashore. On the passage from New Zealand he was manacled at night, and the two detectives stood six- ur watches over him day and night. The prisoner displayed slight ner- vousness on leaving the ship. When he was first accosted in his state-room on the Zealandia by the reporters he said that he was a French- man and a native of Pu aged thirty-four, and his name was Daugnier.

Senator Colquitt said: “If itis true that Mr. Keiley will not. be received as the representative of this govern- ment in Austria, I would be in favor of makin: no other appo tment in his stend—letting the Austrian statesmen do what they thought best in the premises.
