The aiMmoulties with the United States on account Of Cuba are in a fair way of settlement, CUBA. Admiral Hoff, Views of Cuban Adairs—A Protracted Straggle for Independence—Span- iards Becoming Dissatisfied With the War— Activity of the Spanish Fleet. WASHINGTON, Sept. 16, 1869, Admiral Hoft had an Interview t6-diy with the Secretary of the Navy and admiral Porter concern- ing the condition of affairs in Cuba. Nothing espe- clally new was elicited beyond what has already ap- peared in Admiral Hoff’s despatches to the Navy Department while in command of the West India station. ‘The stories which were put in circulation some time ago with regard to the Admiral aympa- thizing with the Spaniards as against the Cubans were entirely without foundation and were never credited at the Navy Department. The Admiral’s instructions from the government were to observe a strict neutrality as between the belligerents and look after the interests of Amerioan citizens resident in and trading with Ouba. His position was natu- rally one of great delicacy, requiring tact and dis- cretion and at the same time firmness. Like nearly every other American of course his sympathies per- sonally were with the struggling Cubans, but his instructions from our government prevented him from making any ostentatious parade of them. On all proper occasions, however, he did not fail to embrace whatever opportunity offered to ald them, and he possesses numerous evidences of the gratl- tude of the Cubans for his conduct. Admiral Hoff thinks the struggle in Cuba will be a protracted one, unless the matter should be settled by the nogotia- tions now pending between Minister Sickles and the Spanish government. He thinks, however, that the policy adopted by our government is the correct one, a8 the best way to get around the Spaniards is not to irritate them or arouse their hostility. It ts his opinion that the leading men of Spain are be- ginning to see that they caunot hold Cuba, and that the best policy is to accept the basis of settlement offered. by General Sickles. The Spanish fieet im Cuban waters, the Admiral says, is quite formidable and very active in watching the coast. In addition to the large war ships they have ie of light Fey vessels that are constantly running around the island watch- ing everything in the suape of a vessel. In galling up and down the coast tne Admiral’s fagship was frequently followed by these vessels until they could ascertain from his movements where he was going and who he was. The health of the squadron, the Admiral reports, was severely tried, and several of the officers and men died of yellow fever, notwith- Standing the most strict sanitary regulations were maintained on every ship. The past season Das been the most sickly that has been experienced in the West Indies for many years, and the Spanish troops have suffered severely from this cause.

A Radical Scheme to Defeat Reconstruction in Virginia—Military Appointees to be Con- tinued in Ofice—Ben Butler Enginecring the Plot. WASHINGTON, Sept. 16, 1869. The following has been received from Richmond:— A most infamous plot, set on foot by radical leaders to defeat the admission of this State into the Union at the meeting of Congress, was disclosed to me to- day. Its main object, after the fifteenth amendment 1s ratified, is by strategy to filibuster the Virginia question over to the next session of Maps pera and thus keep the present radical appointees of General Canby in office another twelve months, Under the constitution elections for Judges, sheriffs and city and county officials take place in May, and the officers elected enter upon the disc! ot their duties the following July. If the State is admitted before May next all the Present oMice-holders by military appointment would de ousted. In order, therefore, to save their radical minions it has been determined to keep the state out another term if possiple. With this view & number of letters have been received from several radical members of Congress counselling a strenu- ous opposition by the yy here to the restoration of the Stave. Among these are several from General B. F. Butler, chairman of the Reconstruction Co1 mittee, and even Mr. Boutwell has volunteered services in the same direction. Butler writes to a former member of his staff, but now a discharged military employé, directing that he should be untir- ing in his efforts to “get up’ evidence of violence at the polls, “imtimidation of loyal men,” &c., by the Walker party in the late elections, ana to lay this before the Reconstruction Com- mittee when Congress meets. Furthermore, Mr. Butler instructed his agent certainly to remain in Virginia three weeks longer, and to expend $300 at least in getting up the required testimony, with an assurance that the fuads so disposed of would be returned. Mr. Boutwell, though not so explicit, writes in the same strain to Porter, a radical Con- gressman elect, whom he invites to Washington to talk over the matter and determine the course of policy for the party in this State.

ALBANY, Sept. 16, 1869, Some time since a warrant Was tssued to arrest @ man named Adam Cole, one of the most desperate characters in the country, charging him with an aa- sault with a deadly weapon on a man named Smith. ‘Yo-day oMcer Malone saw a man in a restaurant whom he thought was Cole, and while asking the proprietor who he was Cole drew @ revolver and Tusned out on the street. The ortcer follow ed, and @ chase ensued arog & dozen streets and over three miles. Other officera joined in the chase, and Cole turned on his pursuers, discharging his revol- ver three times at ag many nt pursuers. He finally jumped into @ wagon and drove off furiously, the reins in one hand and his revolver in the other. ‘Still the officers pursued and others were met, some of whom attempted to jump into the wagon. At last his way was blocked by a funeral procession and the officers jumped into the wagon and seoured the desperado. “He was committed on five ol of using a deadly weapon. Several shots were fred at Cole. No one was hurt. The New York letter mail due here at fifteen minutes past twelve this afternoon was carried to Rochester.

Boston, Sept. 16, 1869, A gathering of the yoemanry of the county of Essex took place at Salisbury beach to-day. Nearly 20,000 people were in attendance. Of the distin- guished speakers announced to be present but three appeared. Letters of apology were read from General Sherman, General Robert E.

The Late ElectionDecreased Vote—Substan- tial Republican Majority. AuGusra, Sept. 16, 1869. Returns from 283 cities and towns show a total vote of 70,981, Chamberlain received 38,968; Smith, 28,259; Hichborn, 3,764. Chamberlain’s majority over both Is 6,055. The total vote of the State will not exceed 86,000, and Chamberiain’s vote will be, according to this ratio, 46,988; Smith, 33,959; Hich- born, 5,054. Chamberlain’s total majority is 7,957. The Fepaniionns have carried every county on the local ticket except Aroostook and Knox. Farther Returns—Complexien of the Legisla- ture. AvGUSTA, Sept. 16, 1869. Returns from 331 cities and towns give a total vote of 76,358, as follows:—Chamberlatn, 41,671; Smith, 30,708; Hichborn, 3,979; Ohamberlain’s majority over both, 6,9} Hichborn’s vote will not exceed 4,500, and Chamberlain’s majority will be 7,500. The falling off on the total vote from last year will be 41,000. The constitutional amendment giving towns the right to divide into wards is passea, ough the vote is very small. The Senate stands twenty- seven republicans, three democrats and one doubt- ful. George E. Minot, of Kennebec, has only bs eight majority, with one town to hear from. This disaffection 1s owing to the ratlroad question. The friends of the “broad gauge” generally opposed him. The House will probably stand 126 republi- cans to twenty-five democrats, The Hichborn party have not elected a single memper of either branch of the Legislature. EUROPEAN MARKETS.

THE 0OAL MINE HORROR. Decline of tho Excitemeht—One Terrible Afiiiction—The Propet Disposition of the Relief Fund—The Miners and Their Ways—Telograph Inefficlenoy— Visit to the Diamond Mine. SCRANTON, Pa., Sept. 16, 1869, The tragic story of Avondale mine ts all told; the force of horror-wrought feeling has expended Itself; the dead are buried and their freshly made graves marked by humble headboards; the inquest 1s over and the verdict has gone abroad to the worid, Work tu the mines is resumed, and men will again go daily down the single shaft with all their former indifference to danger. Acros the darkened mem- ortes of the widows and orphans the name of Avon- dale will long continue to cast a iurid light of hor- Tl palling vision of those flames, leaping wi nergy high into the air above the shaft, will never be effacea from the memory of that woman who, looking from her cottage door, beheld the awful doom to whieh that fire consigned the husband of her heart, her three sons, three brothers and afather. Eight strong men, for any one of whom she would have gladly risked ner own life, were lost to her forever. In the storeiouse of grief no more bitter potion could abide. I saw this hor- ribly aiiitcted woman the day the dead bodtes were drawn from the mine sitting by the wayside, re- moved from the throng of other mourners. She had fair, round face and large, lustrous eyes. Her dress was decent, and in her demeanor nothing un- usual presented itsejf to the passing observer; buton near approach the death-like pallor of the features, the unearthly glare of the dried up eyes, and the fixed, statue-like position of the body told of a grief too deep for wars, too large for utterance. There were others left as forlorn, but none wedded to so sorrowful @ memory as hers. ‘The relief fund, it is anticipated, will reach the neighborhood of $200,000. Its proper distribution is growing to be a guestion of some importance and elicits @ variety of views, one of which ts ob- taining some attention from the committee— namely, to piace the money out at interest sufficient to pay 4 certain sum weekly to the widow and each child. When any of the widows remarry give them a bonus and out them off from further participation in the fund, the children, however, to be still the recipients of the allowance unijl fully able to earn thetr living. If all or a majority of the widows should marry, & permanent fund will be left to be aevoted to tue beneft of the families of such other miners as may happea to lose their lives in the mines. This plan hag been adopted under similar circumstances in Wales, and has proved @ complete success. Such a large and in every way benefloial fund as this promises to be is not an inert mass, but, aeney managed, a living, grow- ing force, constantly increasing in value and in ca- pacity for usefulness, The principal of should be as little Sntstnged on income promises to be atbple tor all the actual needs of tho Avondale Ce bist ‘end there is now an op portunity jented, Which #& would be little I ‘than crimi yrOw to ay upimproved, Co estab- lish that wi long thi ise Souiderasom of t| t) Goal talning rej —& D6! jen! u Ang, ring fund for the |, the widowed the orp!

It is sug- gested. fio doubt the suggestion will be acted upon—that one or swo working miners be appointed on the Board of Relief. They Know the wants, needs and wishes of their class better than any others, sad worthy, intelligent menu are not rare among em. The miners generally were never doing better than. they are now, A good workman can easily make five or six dollars a day, and some have been known to realize as much as $2008 month. When a miner succeeds in getting @ chamber to work where the vein of coal is deep and soft he can oftentimes earn eight or nine dollars a rd without much labor of a fatiguing character. The country has heard pretty fully of the combinations which the miners from time to time enter into, and of the frequent strikes, accompanied in many cases by riots, that have occurred. In this business of striking and of demanding certain conditions from the mine owners there has always been a class of miners of conservative tendencies who have to be driven tnto the ranks of opposition by threais be- fore they yield from persuasion. in this valley there are two Classes of miners bearing no very cordial ‘reeling towards each other, and they are situ- ated respectively at Wikesbarre and scran- ton. Those of the former town are deadly foes to the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Coai Company, whose mines are very numerous in this section. The miners of Hyde Park village, near here, ente! no such feeling towards the company, and by reason of the difference on this head the miners of the two places cannot dwell in harmony, The recent disaster united all in one common expression of human sympathy, while 1 gave to the miners of Wilkesbarre an opportunity to turn their wrath with accumulated force against the mine owners. The opinion uow is that it wiil be along time before any strikes occur again. The operators and miners have both been “badly burned,’’ as they term it here, by the recent strike Preceding the Avondale disaster, and no good has come of it, but rather an increased bitterness of feeling. In time, perhaps, the demago; who make use of the miners for their own selfish ends will fina their occupation gone. The competition for the control of the coal trade of tis rich section threatens to become of a highly formidable and interesting character. The Dela- ware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company are the heaviest operatora now, but when the Krie Railroad completes its connections, and enters the valley a8 arival to the former, while the Pennsyi- vanla Coal Company will be a rival of both, the de- velopment of the great resources of the Wyoming valley will receive a tremendous impetus, coal will be put down to @ reasonable figure and the public will have no cause to complain. This town,of Scranton, which ts already making rapid strides in weaith and population, will eventually become the second city of Pennsylvania, eclipsing even Pitts- burg, and taking rank as the Birmingham of America, arty of ladies and gentlemen from Syra- President Fitcu, of the Syracuse and Railroad, ex-Governor Alvord and others went down in the Diamond mune to-day and expiored its corridors and chambers to their utmost liuut. Mr, Benjamin Hughes and Mr. Ruthven ex- plained the workings of the mine and gave a very clear idea of how the misfortune at Avondale oc- curred, and of how the men were sup| to be situated at the time. No written description of Avonaale mine could convey half so imtelligent a realizauion of the piace as this actual inspection of another mine very similiarly constructed. Mr. Ellis R. Williams soothed the fears of the ladies and made an excellent guide in the aosence of a professional one. The inability of the Western Union Telegraph Company to properly accommodate the representa- tives of the press was painfully apparent during the late excitement. It was only equalled by the oung- ling shown tn the transmission of despatcnes, the errors of syntax and the aroitrary interpolation that marked almost every despatch sent across the wires. At Wlikesbarre it was fortunate if the telegraph office could be found open at nine o'clock; at Ply- mouth the game; but at the latter place experience discovered that it was altogether unsafe to leave a despatch of any length with the certainty of its being sent uver the wires in time. To give an in- stance:—At seven o'clock Tuesday evening I left a despatch of over 2,000 words with the operator, re- ceiving hia repeated promise that it should be transmitted entire in three hours and a half from that time. Next morning I discovered ho was still industriously working Sway on that despatch, just fourteen hours from the time he reoeived it.

Tam sure that such a friendly contest would draw together a very lal concourse of ple, and the thanks of the peovie be tendered to Mr. Bonner and at the same time would bestow a great charity to those who are sadly in want.

THE NATIONAL GAME. Eckford va. Athletic. At the Union Grounds yesterday there was a repe- tition of the scene of the day before, for description of which turn to the HERALD of yesterday, “and when found make a note on it.” By observing the last injunction a great deal of trouble may be spared the acribe, as on fine days these grounds, being care- fally attended to, always look enchanting. But while the scene on the grounds yesterday was like that of the day before, the game played yesterday was by no means like that played there the day before, The game is scarcely worthy of a detailed description. There were many evidences of fine play both in the fleld and at the bat, and there were as many displayed of first class muffinism. Foran was not in the Athietic nine and his place was filled by Meyerle, whose youthful appearance, immense height, and rather awkward but sure movements, gave the gamins outside the fence and many of the “children of a larger growth”’ inside the fence fund for much amusement. Meyerle astonished those who had not seen him play since the Atlantic- Athletic game of July 5. As catcher he was cool and certain and managed to get hold of the ball without sny apparent effort, except, of course, when it went so fearfully wild that even Chang, the Chinese giant, could not reach tt if he were playing behind. In the fifth innings, while en- deavoring to get the bail on a-wiid pitch, he skinned the wrist of his right hand, and was obliged to change off with Radcliffe, At third base he also played remarkably well, swinging himself backward and taking a fly ball nicely, and making a good stop and a splendid eo throw to first base. In the sev- enth inning, he took McMullen’s piace as pitcher, and there, too, he did well, certainly as well as McMullen had done, for the latter had made no less than fourteen wild pitches, on which bases were made, and many more on which bases would have been made had a shorter man than Meyerle been playing catcher throughout. Fisler, at first base, was ag calm, 43 neat abd assure asever. Sensen- derfer at centre fleld, and Cuthbert, at left fleld and in the last innings at third base, attended well to Whatever came to them. All the rest had damaging errors in the field credited to them. Devyr made his first appearance in the Eckford nine, and, with the exception of one bad “muff,” played and batted as he was wont in days gone by. Jewett, Martin, Nelson, and in fact all the members of the Eckiord nine played very weil, both at the bat and in the field. One point made by Mar- tin was new, but A tipped ball went back into the crowd while Martin was on third base. The ball was passed to the catcher by one of the specta- tors, and by the catcher to the pitcher while the latter was out of his position. Martin watted at the base until the ball was in the hands of the pitcher, and then started for home, McMullen ran and touched him, but ag he had not gone to bis position Martia was deciared ‘not out.’’ This point put the fleiders on their guard, and the piay in that particular was sharper thereafter. The tnordinate lengtl of the game may be accounted for by the unnecessary deliveration of the pitchers and the rather wild delivery. The following score will give all further particulars needed of how and by whom the work waa done:— ROKFORD. ATAuario. O. RAB.T. O.

GREAT FIRE ON THE EAST RIVER. Judd’s Linseed Oil Works Burned—Leas $150,000. Shortly after ten o’clock last night the fire alarm sounded for the corner of Grand and East streeta, Inquiries resulted in ascertaining that the fire was in the extensive linseed and sperm of! manufactory of J. H. Judd, covering the triangular space occupied by the East river, Grand and Cherry streets, Ea- ines No. 7, and 31, and Hook and Hooa and Lad- der Company No. 16, under command of Chief Engineer Kingsland, promptly responded; bué the fire had already gained such headway that the Chtef found it necessary to order a second Qlarm. Engines Nos. 9, 15, 17, 11, 28 and 12 and hook and ladder Nos. 9 and 11 were at the acene of the conflagration in a remarkabig brief period. Simultaneously with the sounding of & general alarm the poitce boat Metropolitan was summoned to come up and assist, and at half-pas eleven, under command of Sergeant Doyle, was at the dock; too late, however, to render any aaatat- ance, as the fire had spent its tury. By midnight control, the fire was under entire . the buildmg bad been entirely ‘gutted. The main buliding, fronting on East street, containing about $75,000 worth of stook, was damaged about $25,000. The fre, however, broke out in rear of the storeroom, in the manufac- turing room, where at the time seventy-five men and boys were employed. In this department was the entire machinery valued at about $30,000 and about $10,000 worth of stock. This department was com. pletely destroyea, with the exception of thd engine room, which sustained but slight damage. canodie department, on Grand street, sustained bas slight 4: by water. wing to the Combustible nature of the material the fire raged with remarkable force, and for a time fears were entertained that the entire block would ll @ victim to the flames. ‘The active exertions of niet bel a Kingsland and his staff alone saved the city from a fire that would have in all proba- bility reached $1,000,000, The owners of the establishment were not pi and the Actual losses consequently could hot ascertained, but they will not faji far short of n Machinery, $50,000 on stock And $30,000 on by ing. which, i ts understood, is fally cov insurance.
