TOM ERRR OF THE NEW £ The Story of Three Imprisoned Herald Correspondentse—Proofs of Spanish In- capacity to Rule. When the Spanish authorities in Cuba com- menced their senseless persecution of the HeEnaxp correspondents sent to that island to report on the rebellion we understandingly informed them that no repressive effort of theirs should prevent the full truth on the subject being told in these columns. The time has forever passed when a government can successfully conspire against the publica- tionof the truth in its own day. In the old times, before the press was born, before the telegraph was dreamed of and before the rail- road was imagined, the guilty secrets of rulers, their grinding oppressions and the springs of their policy were buried and hidden away for after ages to be startled by discovering them. Such musty authorities as Mr. Motley struggled through to write the story of Spain’s tyranny in the Nether- lands, became the graves for centuries of the misdeeds, the barbarities, the bloody fanaticisms of the age. We have changed all that. Spain may have lagged in the race of progress, and her satraps may be conscientious in the belief that truth unfavor_ able is as reprehensible when brought to light as ever was the creed of a wealthy Jew when the Fathers of the Inquisition wanted money. The nation, ignorant of or blind to the change in relations between the ruler and the ruled, must be taught the new gospel, whether it would or no. It cannot isolate itself, however great its desire to be let alone with its victim struggling vigorously against the knife. Because the struggle in Cuba was lapsing into the stage of indifference on the part of the outside world, and because the parti-colored and exaggerated reports sent from the Antilles conveyed no just idea of the bitter war being waged, the Heranp resolved to cut deep into the difficulty and lay bare its heart. Hence agent after agent was despatched thither by the Heratp. The Spaniards had hitherto held all or nearly all the lines of com- munication in their hands, They could say what they pleased—truth or falsehood—and back it by all the weight of a responsible gov- ernment, and hence the stupid stumbling- blocks thrown in the way of our correspond- ents by the Spaniards. The circuitous and unauthenticated mode by which information reached the world from the insurgents mili- tated against their reports being unhesitatingly accepted. The cause of trath demanded that some one should speak to the world impar- tially and with the authority of direct evi- dence, disinterestedly and intelligently stated. It was the cardinal point of our instructions to the Hrratp commissioners that, in spite of all obstacles, they should remember that they were expected to tell only the truth, please or offend whom it might. With this much dis- tinctly laid down we come to the immediate subject of this article. In another portion of the Hzraup will be found the letter of our secret commissioner to Cuba, who left Santiago de Cuba for the rebel lines some weeks after Mr. O’Kelly’s successful effort inthe same direction, The sTeasons governing him in first communicating to us his experience from the date of his re- turn to the Spanish lines will be easily under- stood, as he explainsthem. We have only now to state what we hinted in the beginning of this article, that every effort made by the Spanish to kill off our news or deaden its effect has been foiled with a success which will astonish them. On the 15th of last month Mr. Millen walked coolly into the town of Manzanillo and sur- rendered himself to the Spanish authorities, after a light breakfast at the residence of the United States Consular Agent. He expected to be ordered to prison, and the Don of the district did not disappoint him. He was placed in the cell where Mr. O'Kelly had suf- fered so many unmerited indignities, Mr. Millen is an American citizen, and his im- prisonment came suddenly to an end, after two days’ incarceration. He had admitted the fact of his having arrived from the camp of Cespedes, the Cuban President, and had announced his connection with the New York Heraup. There was not the slightest legal difference between his case and that of Mr. O'Kelly, but the former was released and the latter is on his way to Spain, a prisoner of war. It will be entertaining to notice the sarcasm indulged in at the expense of the British government by Captain General Piel- tain, when the Acting British Consul pointed out to the Don this similarity of conduct of the two Heraup men and the dissimilarity of treatment accorded them. The Captain General tauntingly informed the Acting Con- sul that if he would lodge formal complaint against Mr. Millen he (the Captain General) would order Mr. Millen’s rearrest. At this time Mr. O'Kelly, confined in Fort Cabana, was sleeping at night upon the damp floor of his cell. Indeed, until he had dropped some- thing into the palm of one of the haughty Spanish officers, he was left unprovided with a bed. From an interview had with our other im- prisoned correspondent, Mr. Price, we learn that he believes his arrest was caused by Mr. O'Kelly’s prosecutors, who wished to find out whether there was such a thing in existence as a Herawp secret cipher, whether Mr. O'Kelly sent this wonderful cipher ‘under- ground,’ and whether Mr. Price, outside prison, assisted Mr. O'Kelly, inside prison, in sending it ‘‘underground.”’ If all these things were so they wanted to know if Mr Price had a key to this underground railroad cipher, and would not Mr. Price kindly in- form them where he had left the key. Such a mixture of puerility and malice it would be difficult, outside of Spanish jurisdiction, to find, as an excuse for depriving an unoffend- ing person—the citizen of a foreign State— of his liberty and cutting him off for » num- ber of days from all communication with the outside world. Mr. Price, in a letter published elsewhere, states that he has been accused of no crime, although at the date of writing he had been ten days in prison. He distinctly declares his innocence of any crime against Spanish law. He appeals to the United States govern- ment to move in his behalf, as he is an Ameri- can citizen. There must, we presume, be a limit beyond which the arrogance of the Span- ish government to American citizens will be met by something beside submissive inaction on the part of the United States government. What is that limit? Mr. Price in very brief space has stated hiscase. We wouldask, Is his not a case which marks the bound where inac- | ton on the pert of the government becomes eit AB i Sib Leas.) 0 indifference that is criminal, not to say cow- ardly? The Spanish authorities are fully aware that it is impossible to accomplish anything in the way of bringing home the most remote appearance of partisanship in the discharge of his mission to Mr. O'Kelly ; but they purblindly think that o series of petty tyrannies and small persecu- tions against all Herawy men within their reach will deter others from following in their footsteps. The shrewd surmise which gives General Pieltain credit for a desire to smooth over the blunders in harshness of his prede- cessor may be well founded ; but we think it is an injustice to the General, which he would hasten to correct by placing the surmiser somewhere, incommunicado, until he had formed the proper opinion of General Piel- tain’s liability to blunder as boldly as the late lamented Ceballos. It will be a curious point that in an un- dertaking to discover the truth about the rebellion in Cuba the correspondents of the Heratp should, much against their will, be enabled to unmask the flagrant abuses which mark the administration of the thing called ‘justice’ by the Spaniards. An investigation of the filth and disorder of the prisons, the venality and tyranny of jailers and the barbar- ous practices which defile their prison system generally was no part of the mission entrusted to the intrepid gentlemen in the service of the Herarpin Cuba. It was forced upon them by the Spaniards themselves. As Mr. Glad- stone’s recital of the horrors of the dungeons of Naples did much to destroy the throne of the Bombas, so the pictures of sinister doings in Cuban dungeons will be of little service to the cause of Spain. If they cannot put down the Cuban rebellion in the forests, and are bar- barous and antiquated in their administration of the towns, what hope is there that they can retain power in Cuba in a century like the present? The interviews of a Heraup corre- spondent, himself just released from prison, with two others in durance will point all the moral of Spanish incapacity and folly that the bitterest enemy of Spain could desire. France and the Bonapartes. Whatever may be the strength of the Re- public in France or the programmo of the monarchical conservatives of the Assembly in the displacement of President Thiers, it is evident on all sides that the imperialists have “great expectations’’ of some change in the situation under President MacMahon which will bring them again into the foreground. Nor does it appear that MacMahon thinks, as Thiers thought, that, of all things, it is essen- -tial to the internal peace of France to keep the Bonapartes out of the country and to expel them if they dare to comein. On the con- trary, a few days after the advancement of MacMahon to the place given up by Thiers, Prince Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte was re- ported among the new arrivals in Paris, and now it appears that Jerome Napoleon (Plon Plon) walks around the ‘burned district’’ of the Tuileries without remonstrance from MacMahon, though his presence among the imperialists of Paris has awakened a suspi- cious excitement among the Bourbons of the Assembly. As Thiers, however, in becoming President, became a Thiers man, so MacMahon, whatever he may have been before, will, as President of France, be apt to go for MacMahon, as the wisest course between the radical republicans, conservative republicans, old Bourbons, Or- leanists and imperialists. Still, in giving the Bonapartes the rights of French citizens, MacMahon is to them an immense improve- ment on Thiers. Whatever may be the de- signs of the old favorite Marshal of the Empire, it is at least apparent, from this concession, that he is not afraid of the Bonapartes. Meantime, from a letter of M. Pietri, late confidential secretary of Napoleon the Third, and in the days of the Empire Napo- leon’s confidential policeman, it appears that the sensational production published on Thursday last in the Pall Mall Gazette, as an appeal from the ex-Empress Eugénie to the French people, in behalf of her son, is nothing but a canard, and Pietri, being still in the confidence of the ex-Empress, ought toknow. The canard, perhaps, served its turn, as a newspaper bellringer for a day, but whether from a friend or an enemy of the Bonapartes, it can do them no harm. France is quiet, MacMahon seems to be fully the master of the field, with the army at his back; but there is no telling what may be the next turn of the wheel between him and the un- certain French Assembly. The Jerome Park Races To-Day. The Spring meeting of the American Jockey Club commences to-day at Jerome Park. This is an event to which the fashion- ables of the metropolis look forward with in- tense interest. All the aggregate art of mil- linery in New York is called into requisition by the belles of society, and the gentlemen regard these races as the crowning triumph of a long season of fashion and bonton. It is, as it were, the close of the fashionable season. Should the clerk of the weather be in one of his amiable moods the commencement of the Spring season to-day will be brilliant in the extreme. The programme is very interesting, comprising the Fordham Handicap Sweep- stakes, for which the course isa mile and a quarter and the entries thirty-eight in number. Then come the Belmont Stakes, for which seventy-five three-year-olds are entered. A three-quarter mile race, for all ages, and a steeplechase fill up the programme. The Jerome Park races have become fashionable events in this city, and we may expeet to-day such a gathering of fashion as will put in the shade the proudest assemblages in the seagirt isle, where racing has been for ages an honored institution. Reportep Drsarrecrion IN THE SPANISH Anmy.—One of our latest cable despatches has it that the officers of the Spanish army are preparing to pronounce against the Republic and to summon the qld Cortes to reassemble, If this report is founded in fact we may ex- pect at any moment to hear of lively times in Spain. It isa notorious fact that in all pre- vious Spanish revolutions the army has been the controlling power. It is just as notorious that not one of the members of the present republican government is prominently con- nected with the army. The late elections have resulted more largely in favor of the Republic than the conservatives deemed possible. If the officers are disappointed by the elections i inot imorobpble that her baye come to - the conclusion that, if they are to strike at all or strike effectively, they must strike at once. The revolt of the army would most certainly be dangerous to the Republic; but the report must be further confirmed before we are satisfied of its truth, The Walworth Horror—The Coroner's Inquest. The testimony given at the Coroner's in- quest yesterday as to the facts and circum- stances connected with the Walworth tragedy fully sustains us in our first impressions—that this case is without a parallel in the daring and offensive presumption of the assassin, and that never was there, among civilized men or savages, 2 more unnatural, deliberate, remorseless and utterly revolting murder. We look in vain among all the horrible inventions of fiction for anything more frightful or de- testable than this cold-blooded, merciless and cowardly killing of the father by the son. According to the testimony of Mr. More- head, a boarder whose room was within hear- ing of an ordinary conversation from the door of the room where the murder was committed, the parley between father and son before the firing was brief, for that shortly after the door had closed upon the victim’ the firing com- menced; that there were four shots in rapid succession; that the witness heard no talking nor sounds of scufiling before the firing took place; that with every shot there was a star- tling cry of murder, such an exclamation as any one would make under the influence of terror, and that the body of the mur- dered man was found lying within twenty inches of the door. The statement of the murderer in kis own defence bears out this testimony of Mr. Morehead, that the conversation between father and son was brief. ‘When he came into my room,” gays this fledgling of a murderer, “I asked him to sit down; he did so. Meooks to him of his conduct, and said, ‘Promise me that you will neither threaten my mother nor insult her or any of the family any further.’ He answered me, ‘I promise,’ but with a look which to my mind implied contempt, and the reverse of an intent fo keepthe promise. He had just before put his hid up_to his breast as if to pull out a pistol. Tat “unddnaclons: of having fired more than three tithes. He closed on nf rapidly. His grasp was upon me when I fired the last time. I do not think he said anything during the whole interview except what I have stated.” The conversation then was very brief. The father listened to the demand of the son and promised compliance; but the look connected with the promise implied contempt, and that. look was the death warrant of the unsuspect- ing father from his first-born, who had pre- pared himself for his deadly work. That the father was wholly taken by surprise is evident from his unarmed condition. It does not ap- pear that he had even a cane asa defensive weapon against the possibility of an assault, and it does appear that his only resort, as a last chance for his life, when, perhaps, already wounded to death by the first fire, was to close upon the assassin. All this is confirmed by that fearful cry of ‘Murder!’’ heard by Mr. Morehead at each discharge of the pistol. It was, he truly says, the exclamation that any one would make under the influence of terror. Utterly defenceless, mangled and bleeding, the victim of this hide- ous crime had no other resource than the wild, despairing cry of ‘‘Murder!’’—the cry for any help within hearing against the treach- erous hand of his own son. The offensive “‘look’’ of the father which cost him his life, we hold, was perfectly natural, considering the relation in which the parties stood towards each other. The father, doubtless, thought, when the promise of good behavior was exacted ot him:—‘‘Well, this is cool—this change of authority of the father over this stripling to the stripling over the father; but he appears to be inclined to make a scene of it, and, to avoid a scene, I will yield to anything he may demand. He is my son, and it is, therefore, impossible that he can have any designs upon my life." But that awful cry of “Murder !"’ in the next moment dispelled all these parental delusions; and such is the lesson of this Walworth horror. But the most fearful feature of the whole affair is the appar- ently self-satisfied conscience of the murderer. It impresses every witness of his bearing under this heavy crime with the idea that he esteems himself a hero; that he has done @ meritorious deed of blood ; that he has vin- dicated the. honor of his family, and that he is a champion of filial devotion. This may be insanity ; but, if so, it is a form of insanity too serious to be trifled with as an excuse for the crime, and too dangerous to society to be considered as an offset to the awful murder for which the prisoner is held to answer. Tue Savace War mm Cvna cannot be better illustrated than in the infamous and impo- tent vengeance taken by the Spanish volun- teers on the corpse of the patriot, Agramonte. The body, we are informed, was filled with petroleum and burned. This is a deed worthy of the most barbarous days of the forefathers of the Spaniards on the African side. The ashes of the patriot are now kept for a trophy in the Casino Espafiol of Puerto Principe. The ghoulish hideousness of this act is only too much in keeping with the Spanish character. Meanwhile the war goes on. By telegram from Havana we have informa- tion, on the authority of Spanish official despatches, that a severe battle has just been fought in the Manzanillo region between the Cuban insurrectionist forces and the troops of the Madrid Republic. The losses were very heavy on both sides. The Cubans are said to have had one hundred and fifty-five men killed, and the government forces admit a loss of twenty-three killed and sixty-five wounded. A Hrren at Aupany IN THE Suppry Briu.— Speaker Cornell, of the Assembly, and Lieutenant Governor Robinson, presiding officer of the Senate, decline to sign the Supply bill, on the ground that there is cause to believe that the bill was tampered with or doctored by some interested parties after it went into the hands of the Conference Com- mittee. The Conference Committee are, there- fore, called upon to look into the bill as passed, in order to ascertain if there was any doctoring of the document by some unknown reviser on the committee. Should it appear that the bill has been doctored the Governor may be compelled to call an extra session of the Legislature, from which, unless impera- nageaeE. “BAM anA deliver wm. RK HERALD, SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1873—TRIPLE SHERT. The Bank of ‘Englend and ite] Berews. Raising the rate of discount by the Bank of England, or, as the financiers and stock dealers of London call it, ‘putting on the serews,"’ is an operation to which that insti- tution invariably resorts when ao financial crisis is imminent or when there is actually or Prospéctively an unusual drain of specie from At times, too, the action of the Bank is not so well understood, and arises from* a variety of causes, thus having to the uninitiated the appearance of capriciousness. But it is regulated by laws or rules of manage- ment as fixed as those of nature. The barom- eter is not more sensitive under the influence of atmospheric changes than the action of the Bank from financial and commercial causes, and from causes often extending much farther than Great Britain. This action, too, is frequently in anticipation of events, not always foreseen by many people, just as the barometer falls, sometimes before there is a cloud in the sky, to indicate a coming storm. But the proximate cause generally is the outflow of specie from the vaults of the Bank or from England. Sometimes the Bank puts on the screws to check overtrading or excessive speculation, Raising the rate of discount just now to seven per cent, which in England isa very high rate, seems to be anomalous, for the world is at peace and there are no signs of war, and the trade of the Kingdom is most prosperous. The immediate cause, and apparently the only one, for the action of the Bank is, then, the transfer of specie from England to the Conti- nent of Europe to meet the financial transac- tions of France and Germany pertaining to the war indemnity. Woe are led to this view of the matter from the fact that, while the Bank of England is losing its specie, the Bank of France has been receiving a large increase. The balance of trade in favor of France may also have had some effect. Money, too, ap- pears to be scarce in England, there not being enough to meet the demands of business, as the government has authorized the Bank to issue six millions sterling of its reserve notes, an unusual gage in order to give relief to the pub- ic, All this, however, is probably only tem- porary; for While there is peace and such general prosperity this high rate of discount 4 re... cannot remain tong, ie % ~~ PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. .

Messrs. Knabe & Co., of Baltimore, tried an ex- periment last night at their new hall on Fitth avenue to supply.this want, and the trial proved eminently successiul. A concert programme was arranged, and a select audience, comprising some of the leaders of fashion on the avenue, was assembled. Mr. J.N. Pattison played a number of his own compositions, selecting the most brilliant, such as “Polka de Concert,” “Spray Mazurka,” “Celtic Polka” and “Russian Hymn Fantasia.” Mr. George W. Morgan played a choice selection of piano works, and Mile. Boonsil rivatled Wieniowski by her exquisite violin play- ing. Madame De Ryther sang a couple of Dallags with all the finish, richness of voice and effect that have made this artist a favorite in concert. A number of other artists and amateurs took part in the musical entertainment, and the new’ music hall was inaugurated under the happiest auspices. GONFLAGRATION IN TOLEDO.

The law directing the Secretary of the Treasury to pay the net proceeds of cotton unlawfully seized after June 30, 1365, was approved May 18, 1872, and required that all petitions should be filed within six months thereafter, on or before November 18, 1872, Many petitions which had been duly signed and sworn and placed in the mail before November 18, did not reach Washington until after that date. They were, however, sent to the Secretary of the Treasury, and recorded as of the date when re- ceived. Inreply to an inquiry and argument of the point involved, whether in two important cases as filed the petitions would be regarded as filed in time, the Secretary has decided that no petition or claim under the act of Congress which was not received in the Treasury Department on, or before the 1sth “day November, “i673, “cai” kg __re- “garded as having been filed within six months r the passage of the act, and that any such clalaf Fecéived in the Department after November 18 cannot be | dered by the Secretary of the ry. fl Treasury. ass It 1s the opinion of the Rest informed lawyers) here that the time for dling petitions, both in cotton cases before the Secretary of asury and for stores and supplies before the Southerm Claims Commissioners, will be extended by the next Congress. No Charges Against the Commissioner r. of Pensions. The Secretary of the Interior says the report that charges have been filed and are pending against the Commissioner of Pensions is utterly unfounded and untrue. FIGHT WITH THE APACHES, A Formidable Outbreak — Lieutenant Almy Killed. SAN FRANCISCO, June 6, 1873. Advices from Arizona this afternoon state that the Indian Agent at San Carlos, Major Larrabee, had some difficulty with the Apaches. They under- took to kill him with spears. He ran w Lieutenant Almy’s tent. The latter, with six soldiers, went to the agency with him. They went into Larrabee’s tent, Larrabee and Almy came out of the tent, Larrabee in advance, when the Apaches fired onthem. Almy received three bul- lets, which passed through his body. He fell dead without a groan. Larrabee was untouched and retired into the tent. Four of the six soldiers ran, One of the two who remained was prevented from shooting by Conception, # Mexican interpreter at the agency. The Apaches fied across the river. It is probable that many of them have taken to the mountains. A messenger to Governor Safford, whé left the reservation half an hour after the occurrence, says that the ma- jority of the Indians were there when he left. Eske Vonsein, a noted chief, had become an; with the agent several days previous, and had lei San Carlos with a large band some time before the murder. The Indians fired about forty shots at Larrabee and Almy. It has been generally thought for some time that an outbreak was inevitable. Almy was born in the State of Massachusetts, and promoted to be a First Lieutenant of the Fifth cavalry in April, 1860. Bishop Southgate’s Son in Sudden Reo treat from the Episcopal Church. BaLTimorg, June 6, 1873. The Rev. E. Southgate, son of Horatio Southgate, of New York, a missionary Bishop of the Episcopal Church, came to this city three months ago to assist in the parochial duties of St. Luke’s Episco- pal church. He was only a deacon at the time of his arrival here, but was to have been fully ordained as a priest to-morrow (Trinity Sunday. Some few days back Rev. Mr. Rankin, rector of St. Luke’s, notified Bishop Whittingham that he had objections to the ordaining of young Southgate. The Bishop concurred with the rector, and Southgate was advised to return to his father’s home. Instead of doing so he remained here ficiating at St. Luke’s up to Thursday morning. After assisting at morning prayer on that and partaking of the sacrament he sud- denly abandoned his post, left his i and before night became an inmate of ee Mary’s seminary of the Roman Catholic Church, an institution under the control of the Sulpicians. It 1s understood that the [oe of objection to his being ordained in the Episcopal Church were his lental condition. His father has arrived here, and an effort is to be made to remove him from the seminary. The affair has created considerable excitement in church circles, as St. Luke’s is the leading Episco- pal high church of the city.
