AN ACCUSATION MADE BEFORE A SENATE COM- MITTEE AGAINST MR. SOTELDO, A sub committee of the Senate foreign rela- tions committee has in hand a charge made by Mr. Grannon Kennedy, of New York, to the effect that Minister Soteldo, of Venezuela, had taken advantage of his position to purchase or get possession of American claims against Ven- ezuela. Senator Morgan, of the committee, to whom the matter was referred, does not think Mr. Soteldo has done auything aubecoming his position, Mr. Soteldo attributes the charge to the self- interest of claimants who are endeavoring to deieat his efforts to have certain of the claims annulled on the ground of fraud. A proposi- tion, he said, wus made to him to have his gov- ernment purchase the outstanding ce. tficates, and he eviered intoa corre ondenee to ascer- tain at what price they could be purchased. WHAT I8 ALLEGED AGAINST MR. SOTELDO. The charge against Minister Soteldo 1s con- tained in a briet submitted by Mr, C, Kennedy, attorney for the holders of certificates of award by the Caracas coramission. ‘That commission made awards, for which certificates were ixsued, and there is, it appears, money in the State de partment to meet the awards. But meantime the Venezuelan goverument has undertaken to procure a review of the acts of the commis sion on the ground of alleged irregularities or frauds. Mr. Kennedy, for the certificate holders, maintains that the action of the convention was final and binding, and that the Venezuelan government, in endeavoring to obtain a new convention and review, is not acting honoraply, He has aiso charged’ that Minister Soteldo, while using bis influence to depreciate the cer- Ulicates by proclaiming them fraudulent and asking fora review, has been engaged in buying them up. fn his brief Kennedy reiers to certain Wleged letters written by Soteldo to a New York merchant, advising him to purchase the certificates at 35 per cent of thelr face value, and assuring him that the Venezuelan govern- ment would protect him (the merehant) in such purchase, MK.

A Detailed and Interesting Report from Gen. Crook. HOW A BAND OF ELEVEN MURDEROUS CHIRI- CACHUAN’S BAFFLED THE TROOPS—SAVAGES WHo RIDE A HUNDRED MILES WITHOUT WATER— HUNTING THEM IN ROCKY FAST NESSES, Gen. Crook has sent to the adjutant general of thearmy a very detailed and interesting re- port, dated January 11th, of the movements made aguinst the hostile Chiricahua Apaches and the difficulties encountered since the hos- tiles scattered in many directions after the summer campaign. The trail of a considerable number led into the Chiracalua mountaius on this side of the line, and was followed by all of the Apache seouts, These escorting parties had been continuously in the field since May, marching more than 1,500 miles. They and their pack trains had been completely worn out, and it was necessary toreplace the scouts by ‘tresh detachments and to reorganize the pack trains. Detachments were maintained at every water hole, keeping the line constantly. patrolled. Early In November a party of eleven. ¢rossed the line and went into New Mexico. The distance between the water boles 18 con- siderable and the country along the boundary very rough, CROSSING THE LINE, The hostiles, knowing that the water holes were guarded, changed their tactics, avoiding them, and made a passage in the most difficult points of the mountains, They were not de- pendent upon water holes for water, but could go 100 miles without halting, carrying such Water as they needed for thenisclvos in the en- trails of cattle or horses killed by the way, and abandoning the animals they rode when these Groped exhausted by thirst or fatigue. The soldiers in pursuit had each but one horse, When any of their horses or pack mules gave out, the command was not only wenkened by such loss, but extra work was imposed upon the poor beasts which were silll able to stagger on their feet, The Chirleabuas could secure a Temount at/rauches on thelr way, und at tne end of a maren were ly 1D possession of fresher and better animals than’ when they started. They would push across the valleys by ppight and remain hidden by day in the rocky places and high points, from which they could watch the approach of pursuers and lie in. ambush ior them, or SCATTER LIKE COYOTES, tocome together again at a place known only to themselves, No human foresight or wisdom could predict exactly where that would be, It might be in the original direction of their line of march, or near both flanks, or they might whip around and appear far in the rear of their pursuers. To follow them it was necessary to stick to the trail and never lose it if possible. The Apaches might retard pursuit or baffle it comp.etely, and jt happened tuat our faithful Apache scouts slowly aud patiently led the troops for twenty miles over rocky stretches where a white man could not detect the faintest indication of @ trail until,on reaching more favorable ground, the unerring sugacity of the scouls was attested, The country contains many rough places, where adozea men armed lise ‘the Apuches, with breecti-loading guns, cvuld bold a brigade in check, In approaching these acommander bad to take precautions: Against, surprise, making his progress slow, and giving the hosiles advantage in time au distance, or else assume the risk o1 destruction, The commander would be compeiled to halt at night until dawn, while the raiders could put les between themselves and the soldiers. ‘They succeeded in ELUDING OUR TROOPS, and in passing the line, word of their coming Was telegraphed toall points and detachments were seut out tointercept or followthem, They were closely pressed, but having no impedi- menta of any kind scattered, and made their way into New Mexico and remained bidden in the mountains turee weeks without commit- ling fresh depredations. Suudenly they ap- peared among the friendiy Apaches near Fort Apache, killing twelve, capturing six and losing butone of tneir own number. From this on they had a bloudy career. Their very teebie- ness of numbers nade tem all the more dan- gerous, as it rendered it more dillicult for peo- pie to know when they were in thelr viciuity null they had surrounded @ raneh or aut shed some unter, leaving in thelr flight no more seall than _ 80 MANY Braps. Many persons killed were tound on roads or tralis distaut from points ot communication. Everything was done tw give warning and afford protection; but had the whole army been employed it would have been Impossible to get word lo every “prospector” farmer and team- Ster in thelr course. The Chiricahuas dashed through well setued districts, murdering and plundering with grim impartisiity citizeus, sul- diers and friendly Indians with no loss ‘that can be positively stated veyond the one killed neur Fort Apache. Every effort was mude to capture then, but being unimpeded they es- caped into Mexico, aithough so closely pressed tuat twice they were compelied w abandon their horses and plunder aud take to the rocks on foot, Unioriunately # detachment of Na- Yio scouts, wit Lieut. Scott's command, was directly on their heels, but refused to go further and pursuit bud to be abanduned. Gen. Crook expressed the intention, if not able to intercept them in attempting to return not to leave the trailuntii they should be de- stroyedor forced back, It was necessary to es- tablish Camps near the water, while the Chira- Cabuus knowing this could avoid such places, the country bel: sO rough and the distance between wulernoles so great that the hostiles had no difficulty in slipping between, trusting for water 10 te small supply with’ them or trusting to that to be found in tanks in the rocks. ‘THE DEATH OF CAPT. CRAWFORD. Gen. Crook's report was dated on the 11th of January, the very day that Capt, Crawiord had located the camp of the hostiles in Mex- ico and surrounded it, only to be deprived of the victory which he bad labored so hard tw se- cure, by being shot through the head by Mex- fean’soidiers, Had he lived, it is the opinion otarmy otiicers, that Geronimo would have unconditionally’ surrendered to him, without wailing to reach the border. ———+o+ ______ WHAT WEATHER PROPHETS SAY. ‘The Signal Office and the Juvenile Who Buns an Opposition Establishment— Warmer Weather Predicted for To- morrow. ‘The cold wave signal at the signal office was lowered yesterday morning in anticipation of warmer weather, but the like signal of the youngster In the neighborhood still floated this morning in his back yard and directly be- neath Jt was the red crescent, an indication of lower temperature. This little fellow evidently makes his own predictions, for he is to-day dl- rectly in opposition to the official prophesies. ‘He causes much amusementamong the officials of. the service, for he seems disposed to run an opposition establishment, although his predic- tlons as yet do not get a widespread circulation wad lle signals are visible only to thowe, people in the neighborhood, who have over-looking back windows. The weather prophet of the signal servi stated toa Stax reporter to-day that the tem- perature this morning was twelve degrees above zero, while at the same time yesterday morning It was two degrees below.

There 1s apparent considerable hostility in the House towards Mr, Cleveland and his ad- visers. Quite a body of the members on the democratic side—silver men and anti-civil ser vice reformers—feel in no way bound to defend the administration or to be influenced by the fact that their party is supposed to be at the helm. They look upon Mr. Cleveland as a rep- Tesentative of the eastern moneyed men and not asa partisan of their faith, They declare that he shall not again: occupy the White House, and for that reason they are more ready 1 treat him as a stranger in the camp, and they care not what may happen to weaken his administration of public affairs. The deciara- ration is openly made by some of them ou the floor that the next President will represent wishes of the body of the people and not be governed by thestock-broxers and bondholders Of the east. They are determined, they say, to throw off the yoke of eastern influence, and as a first step towards that end, a movement is on foot to se- cure the adoption of an amendment to the Con- stitution requiring the President and Vice President of the United States to be elected by the people directly, instead of through ‘the electoral college. PROPOSING A DIRECT VOTE BY THE PEOPLE. A bill authorizing such a constitutional amendment has been referred to the House Judiciary committee, and it is proposed to press the matter vigorously and to have the question submitted to the states this session, if Possible. Their purpose 1s to have the law changed before the next presidential election comes around, They express great disgust with the way the New York moneyed men as- sume control of national affairs, and appro- Priate to themselves every executive as soon 4s itis elected. They complain that itis im- possible under the present plan of election to get _@ President who would represent the Views of the masses of the people. Cleve- land, they say, does not agree with his’ party upon any of the great questions in which they are concerned, and it is Impossible to elect one who represents them as long us the creditor classes Dave it in thelr power to dictate the nomination. They proiess to know that the great majority of the people demand that the public debt be paid off, re- lieving them from the interest and the heavy taxation consequent thereto, They demand the reduction of the tariff and the free circula- Uon of money such as can reach the pockets of the poor people. They are antagonized in all ‘these principles, they assert, by the controlling creditor class of’ the east, whose wim is to keep the volume of money reduced as nearly as sible to that held by themselves, and who want ‘only to increase Ube value of their own posses sion, WHAT A SOUTHERN SILVER MAN SAYS.

A Proposed Modification of the Pians For the Capitol Improvement. Architect Clark has recommended that win- dows be let into the row of rooms to be formed by the terrace extension on the west side of the Capitol. It is the intention to devote the eight rooms to be constructed on the west side to committee use,and Mr, Clark maintains that they should be provided with outside windows. To effect this change it will be necessary for Congress to act as the law provides, that the terrace improvement shall be made in accord- ance with the plans of F. Law Olmstead, and that plan does not contemplate windows In any of the terrace rooms. These rooms on the north and south Of the Capitol are to be used for storage, etc., and the lent and ventilation they will receive from above, it 18 generally admitted, will be Suflicient. "But such light and ventilation, members ot Congress malutain, would not be sufficient for committee rooms.’ Mr. Clark has prepared for the pubiic buildings and unds committee a sketch of the western front im- ovement 9s It will appear with windows, and it is quite certain thatthe committee will re- commend adeparture from the Olmstead plan. Mr. Olmstead’s idea, so it is suid, was to make the terrace work have the appearance of a basement story, aud he held that windows would detract trom that effect, The committee, after a careful examination of Mr. Clark’s drawing, do oot think so, In fact, they incline to the opinion that the row of windows— one in each committee room—will be an im- provement in appearance as Well as conveni- ence, The western rooms will be easily accessi- ble, and with proper light and ventilation will make good committeerooms. Mr. Clark says it will require three years time to complete the terrace work entirely. Up to the present the sum of $310,000 has been appropriated, The first appropriation was $25,000 for the northern terrace; then followed $25,000 for work on the south side, Next $60,000'was added in 1884, nd last year $200,000 were voted. Further provision will be made at the present session. Michael Davitt Hopeful. HIS INTERPRETATION OF GLADSTONE'S AD- DRESS—MR. GIFFEN’S LAND SCHEME. Says a cable dispatch from London: Mr.Glad- stone’s manifesto contained in his address to the Midlothian electors is as mysterious as the Delphic Oracle to most Englishmen. Michael Davitt last night interpreted it to mean that some settlement of the land question in Ireland on principles which will also be applicable to Great Britain must precede home rule, Mr, Davitt therefore believes that the lan i tation.which he has steadily maintained side by side with Parneil’s struggle for home rule, has proved its utility and may result in more im- mediate benefit to Ireland than the parlia- mentary agitation. Robert Giffen, LL. D., statistician to the board of trade, at a dinner of the Political Economy club to-night explained in detail his lan for transferring the agricultural lands of Fretana to the peasant farmers and for com- Renvating the present owners.
