Tur Karvan Campaicn.—The letter which we published yesterday from our special cor- respondent at the Sea of Aral, on the Russian Army expedition to Khiva, throws a flood of light upon the subject and dispels all the terrors supposed to be connected with the enterprise. Thus it appears that the Tartars of Khiva, hitherto represented as a terrible host of warriors, are regarded by the Russians as we regard the Apache Indians. Next we Gnd that the dangers from the formidable snows in Winter and drifting sands in Summer of those dreadful deserts, from which former Russian expeditions suffered so heavily, have since been overcome by the establishment on the route of military stations, posts and depots of supplies to the very door of Khiva, and that these obstacles have been greatly exaggerated. In short, from the actual observations of our correspondent, the whole of Turkestan is open to the Russians, and they are fully prepared to occupy it and hold it and civilize it and open it to the world. Gaear Excrrement there was in the City Hall yesterday, and chiefly on the bids for the fat job of official advertiser of the Corporation, | under the title of the City Reece’. The examiners of thé bids made their report to the Board on the subject, and the five lowest of the bidders are to appear betore the Board to- day fora cross-examination. NEW The Governments of the United Sta and England and Their Citizens on Caban Soil—Grit” Wanted. We learn that our Havana correspondent, Mr, Price, after 4 causeless captivity of twenty-two days in the Cabaiia fortress, six of which were passed in solitary confinement, has been released. The charges against him were never made known to him during that period, and their groundlessness is shown in the abruptness of his dismissal. In a letter from his dungeon, pub- lished elsewhere, he wonders why he was detained after Mr. O’Kelly’s departure. An official informed him that his being taken to the common jail, in the first instance, was a mistake. Another official informed him that Mr. O’Kelly’s ‘incommunication’’ in the Cabaiia was also a mistake. Now, from these exhibitions of irresponsible caprice to which the United States abandons its citizens, it is possible that Mr. Price was forgotten or neglected by some Spanish official, as still another of them would forget or neglect to let him have his breaktast before the afternoon. The honor of a nation is a great deal more than a sentiment. The citizen of a country submitting meekly to ali manner of insults that may be heaped upon her flag will soon find, when be leaves her borders, what actual inconvenience arises from this want of respect. It is, therefore, the necessity of anation aspiring to the development even of her commerce that certain safeguards should never be wanting for the protection of her citizens abroad. From the deeply interesting correspondence, dated from a Spanish prison and signed by the two imprisoned writers for the New York Heratp, Messrs. O'Kelly and Price, the lamentable want of firmness betrayed by our governmentand that of England can be seen under the strongest possible light. It has been announced, in more or less authori- tative form, that the two governments have “done something’ in each case on behalf of the gentlemen named, but the contempt with which the Spanish authorities in Cuba have treated these remonstrances suggests the very grave conclusion that a citizen of the United States or a subject of Great Britain has no real protection against the most arbitrary or unjust treatment that a Spanish official might choose to inflict on him. The fact that the two gentlemen in question belong to the staff of the Heraxp naturally gives us the greatest concern in what befalls them; but as unoffending persons cruelly and maliciously maltreated they would receive the same attention at our hands, no matter what their callings. Their cases become those of the nations which respectively claim their allegiance, and no nation can, with safety to its interests, allow the rights of its citizens to be ignored and trampled on. Not only in the cases before us have the individuals suffered indefensible hardships and revolting in- dignities, but the official representative of the United States, Consul General Torbert, has, in his own language, been “snubbed’’ and the representative of Eng- land derided and sneered at by Captain Gen- eral Pieltain, when they remonstrated or de- manded explanation. This is a grave position, indeed, for the two freest and most powerful civilized nations to occupy in the eyes of the world—their subjects outraged and their officials ‘‘snubbed”’ by the vicarious authori- ties of feeble Spain in Cuba. Mr. Fish, our Secretary of State, himself hastens to make out the case against Ameri- can honor. That he was gracious enough to dilate eloquently on Herap enterprise does not at all blind us to his deplorable admission that the representations and remonstrances he had made, or ordered to be made, had been slighted, and no attention paid to the de- mands or explanation deigned for the out- rage by the Captain General. He may explain at any length how difficult communication is with the Cuban anthorities, and how won- derfully intricate are the ways of diplomacy ; yet red tape and circumlocution are poor apologies for the toleration of injustice to a citizen of the United States and insult toa government representative. In matters touch- ing the duties on sugar or molasses the slow processes of red tape may be admitted ; the liberty of a citizen is a ‘matter requir- ing treatment of a prompt, energetic and uncompromising nature. As Mr. Price pointedly puts it, ‘there is more grit required in the Department of State.’’ As an American citizen he deserved every atten- tion at the hands of his government. He had satisfactorily filled the post of Consular Agent to the United States at the port of Nuevitas, and yet the snubbing received by Consul General Torbert is first apologized for by the State Department, where it is thought that what General Torbert ‘‘aims to achieve is retarded by his great zeal and patriotic energy, whereas a cringing policy would be more successful in dealing with the heartless Spaniards.’’ The humiliating statement by Seerctary Fish that to this remonstrance and that demand ‘no answer has been received” is another specimen of placid forbearance with those who imprison and ill-treat Ameri- can citizens at will. The case of Consul Phillips, hunted through the streets of Santiago by the Catalan volun- teers, with no protection but that of the British flag, happened within the Secretary- ship of Mr. Fish. The offence of the Consul, it will be remembered, consisted of writing a certain official letter to his government. The case of Dr. Honard, wherein an American citi- zen was infamously, nay, barbarously treated, upon perjured and trumped up testimony, is one that reflects no credit upon our country. Mr. Price was arrested without explanation or any charge being made against him, and but for the accident of meeting an attaché of the American Consulate on the way to prison he might have languished .there indefinitely without the world being the wiser. So, the American Consul General learns of the outrage, seeks the Captain General and demands explanation. He is ‘snubbed and thwarted at every turn,” as the British Acting Consul been, when sneeringly told, if he wondered why Mr. Millen (whose offence, if any, was the same as Mr, O'Kelly’s) had been liberated, to make a formal charge and he (the Captain General) would order Mr. Millen’s rearre Truly, “grit? is wanting in the Department of State and elsewhere when Americannd England are so much afraid of poor, struggling Spain that they dare not demand thot justice be done to their citizens and snbjects. in the exvlanations of Secretary Fish re- Crawford had , YORK garding outrages on American citizens in Cuba, his easy conscience on one point is remarkable and curious—namely, his per- fect satisfaction when nothing beyond the manifold horrors of imprisonment, solitary or otherwise, are experienced by the victim. The sensation of having a prisoner of Chillon or an immured Monte Cristo on hand may be esteemed a luxury by some morbid natares ; but that a Secretary of State can be com- placently cheerful because the inquisitorial torture does not end in the prisoner's death will not be satisfactory to a proud nation, when it is understood fully what barbar- ism and cruelty are practised in Cuban prisons by the authorities on the unfortanates weakly and wantonly left at their mercy. This neglect of one of the highest interests of the nation—the protection of our flag abroad and all who can claim its protection—must cease at some time. Neither America nor England can long tolerate the studied inso- lence and outrage of the Cuban authorities. The conduct of the latter, if persevered in, must involve one or the other country in war with Spain. This is certainly something we do not desire ; but the persistent folly of Spain’s officials in Cuba may, at any hour, make it impossible for either country to decline the responsibility of a combat. Sefior Figueras was right when he informed a Henaup cor- respondent that the United States were the best friends of the Republic in Spain. Our wishes for the spread of republican institu- tions on this Continent and in Europe make us maturally lean towards a people tak- ing the path of equal rights and freedom, and the Spanish Republic should take care to keep acurb upon her officials in the Antilles, who work go strenuously to alienate all friendly feeling here and bring the mother country to the verge of a destructive war. We do not desire the annexation of Cuba to the United States. We should prefer to see her govern herself, if that is the desire of her people, or to see her re- main with a republican Spain should that alternative please the Cubans. But Spain must teach her officials in Cuba the lesson of respect for the citizens of other States before she can be certain that the insurgents will be the only armed foes she may have to meet in the field. The Secretary of State will find that the dignity of the United States cannot be sustained in a manner satisfactory to the people at large in cases in- volving the liberty or the life of citizens by tortuous diplomacy that does little or nothing towards gaining its professed object. More “grit” is wanted. General Davis on the Loft Opportu- nity of Punishing the Sound Views. Our despatches from the scene of the late Modoc war containing an interview with General Jefferson C. Davis will be read with live interest throughout the country, and the opinions expressed by that old Indian fighter on the Modoe difficulty, as it at present stands, will be heartily endorsed. We have repeatedly sustained the view that the savage, as we are blessed with him, looks on the paraphernalia and parade of peace com- missions with scarcely disguised contempt; and we can the better understand the force of General Davis’ statement that “the Indians do not recognize the jurisdic- tion of civil or military courts because they are incapable of understanding their work- ings. ‘These Modocs cannot comprehend what is meant by Court. They have been inter- rogated on that subject, and they would regard a Court trial, with its techni- calities, testimony, &c., as a kind of jugglery, and if convicted and sentenced to death could not be made to understand that justice figured in the business at all. They believe they have committed deeds that merit death, in fact, are real murderers, and have daily expected to be hanged.’ And so he sensibly made up his mind to save the murderers a world of wonder and several mouths’ time by hanging a number of them, whom he would specially select for the gallows. His objection to hand- ing them over to the Oregonian Conrts is comprehensible; for he judges the pris- oners’ chances from the murder of the four harmless old mena few days since. A military commission will, he believes, take six months to arrive at a conclusion, and, Modocs— | mowing that a proper overawing effect could be produced on the neighboring | tribes through a select number of mili- tary hangings, he chose the latter course as “cutting the Gordian knot.” He read a document to Captain Jack which was at once an indictment and __ sentence, and was preparing a list of murderers for execution from his large stock when a courier arrived with orders that tied his hands, The grave part of the matter is that a wholesale massacre of the prisoners by the Oregonians may, at any time, take place, and the “peace party’ at Washington may find themselves to blame for the slaughter of the innocent as well as the guilty. Honors to the Remains of the Late Minister Orr, When, in the Winter of 1860-61, James L. Orr, in company with ex-Governors Barnwell and Adams, of South Carolina, entered the city of Washington as one of the Commis- sioners from the Palmetto State to the govern- ment of the United States, demanding a re- lease from the federal compact, the result of our great Revolution of ‘76, he could scarcely have imagined that at this date, after a war oceasioning a frightful loss of men and means on both sides to prove the error of his views, his remains would have been honored as they have been in the always patriotic city of New York. Yet such is the fact. In the City Hall yesterday the remains of our late Minister to Russie lay in state un- der the special guardianship of the Knights Templars, a Masonic body of which he was a much respected member. But it was not alone in regard to his membership with that grand Order that led to this public and official demonstration in his behalf. It was in conse- quence of his prompt acquiescence in the re- sults of the war and his unquestionable fealty to the Union as restored that led President Grant to appoint him Ambassador of the United States to one of the most potential governments of Europe. And in the same spirit the government of the metropolis of the country has rendered honors to his remains. His Masonic brethren, with a devotedness that bas no varallel in the history of the Order in HERALD, FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 1873.—TRKIPLE SHEET. this country, cast aside all considerations of the past, and guarded the remains of their illustrious brother as they would their. most estimable jewels. The ceremonies and pro- cession to-day will be under the direction of the Masonie brotherhood. Honored in life, in death the memory of the late James L. Orr will ever be fondly cherished by those who knew the goodness and greatness of his noble heart and soul. The Governmental Hiatus in Spain— Confasion in Madrid. The latest telegrams from Madrid announce that Seiior Figueras, having resigned his execu- tive author#éy, had taken leave of the Span- ish capital and journeyed to Huesca, on his way to France. The abroga- tion of authority by the Ministry and Chief of State produced a hi- atua in the administrative history of the day. Political partisans rushed forward to fill it, and faction became, apparently, more powerful than the law. Madrid was convulsed with one of its violent spasms of chronic agi- tation. Bands of politicians, who style them- selves ‘‘irreconcilables,’’ were opposed by others of an opposite stripe until the streets of the municipality became, as it were, red-hot under the tread of demagogucs, who were ioud in their demand for revolutionary change. After having created a vast*amovert of alarm, among foreigners particularly, the demonstrat- ors cooled down. ‘The Spanish capital was, as reported by cable, again calm at a late hour last night, but it is quite evident, judging from our despatches from London, that John Ball is not by any means satisfied with the present appearance of affairs in Spain; and Mr. Bull has had very consider- able experience in the matter of the progress of public affairs on the Iberian Peninsula. The Cortes appear to be the deposi- tary of legitimate power, but whether the legislative body will assume a healthy and vigorous action in the crisis remains to be seen, At the moment when our latest tele- gram was forwarded from Madrid yesterday the armed factionists had withdrawn from the streets, and it was reported thatall parties had agreed to accept the Ministry constituted by the Cortes on Wednesday. Our Strects—Threatened Strike of the Sweepers, If ever we have*need of scrupulously clean streets it is now. With the mercury among the eighties and the sun pouring its fiercest rays into our gutters during the long days of June, there is no sure defence against poison- ous exhalations except thorough work with broom, hoe and shovel, with free use of water to scour the roadways and flush the sewers. Cholera is reported in various direc- tions, and, even if it should not visit the At- lantic coast, we may be certain that uncleaned streets will breed diseases very little less fatal. In this connection our citizens will be sur- prised and indignant to learn that the men who have been employed by the Police De- pertment in street cleaning are threatening a strike in consequence of inability to get their pay. For nearly two months, it is said, they have received fio wages, and they and their families are suffering for its lack, to the deep discredit of some high city officials who have blundered—or worse. No one of the munici- pal obligations should be more promptly met than the hard earned pay of those laborers, and no other branch of the public service is more imperatively necessary than their work of keeping the streets free from filth and screening the city from pestilence. Nota day should be lost in paying these laborers, and not an hour’s remission should occur in the vigorous prosecution of their duties, Toe Wan i Centra Asta.—A telegram, special to the Hxranp, from the seat of war in Central Asia reports that the Russian commander, General Kaufmann, has_ lately gained an important victory over the Khivans, and that his troops were again in advance for the objective point of concentration, The Heratp report is confirmed by a war office bulletin which was published in St. Petersburg last night, announcing a rout of the Khivans and the continued onward march of Kaufmann. The Khivans appear to have mustered in considerable force, and to have come out from their stronghold to meet the invaders of the Khanate. It may be that the war is not yet ended, although it is scarcely doubtful that the Muscovite will triumph in the end. Szorerary Piso on Finst Crass Powers. — The head of the State Department is reported to have said the other day that the only thing wanting to constitute the Henan a first class Power was an army and a navy. But our wonderful Premier forgets. We have an army and we havea navy. Our army is composed of legions of the ablest, shrewdest and most daring correspondents, scattered throughout the world. Our navy includes the fastest ves- sels of all nations, bearing intelligence from every quarter of the globe. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. Rev. James Lawrence, of England, is at the New York Hotel.

As gathering ofdistincuished officers of the army who have been educated here it wasa great success, General Sherman, Genoral Franklin, General Upton, General Gibbon, General Tyler and | a host of others formed a galaxy of lesser stars | round the great light of the army. It was the largest nd certaiuly the most distinguished assem- blage of officers of the United States Army who have made for themselves bright names in his- tory. General Sherman, in speaking for the army, alluded to the fact that honor in the Se ly something very different from honor in politics, The President smiled when called upon to speak, and took refuge behind a huge cigar, General Gib- bon was the life and soul of the Alumni, and his services were well appreciated. ‘The ball at the Mess Hall was a brilliant and splendid attair. Five hundred people enjoyed themselves, reckless of corns and scorning the tender feeling of bunions. President Grant and party were present for a short time. On no previous occasions have graduating cadets stepped into active service under more favorable auspices. es A WESTERN BILLIARD MATCH. Cricaco, M., June 12, 1873. The billiard match to-night, between Ubassy, the French expert, and John Bessenger, of this city, was the mos# remarkable exhibition of skill in that line ever witnessed in the West, The game was a French or three ball carom, Ubassy playing 800 points to Bessinger’s 500, for a stake of $250 a side. There was an audience of not less than fifteen handred people present. The game was won by Ubassy in forty-five innings, the score standing—Ubassy, 800; Bessinger, 370. Ubassy’s average was 177-9, and his largest runs were 116, 61 and 50, nesides four or five of 40 each. The run of 116 was the forty-fourth inning. Bessinger's game was a plucky one, his average being 87-9. He made a run of 53 and another of 54 in the latter part of the game. Ubassy leaves to-morrow for New York to take part in the coming billiard tournament, JUDGE FANCHER AT NEWBURG, Extraordinary Scssion of the Supreme Court=The Lagrove Extradition and Kentucky Lotteries Case.

Meeting of Creditors in Boston Before Judge Loweil, of the United States Supreme Court— No Compromise Effected—Statement of Mr. Charles Bowles—The Bankrapt Firm Likened to the United States Government. Boston, Sune 12, 1873, This afternoon Judge Lowell, of the United Stated District Court, came in and gaye to the parties im- terested & hearing tm the matter of Bowles Bros. & Co., bankrupts, the game being on the acceptance or rejection ef the proposition of Mr. Nathan Appleton. There were some thirty persons incer- ested in the case present in Court, Mr. John 0. Ropes, counsel for Henry J. Stevens, assignee of the estate of Bowles Bros, & Co,, addressed the Court, reading the proposition of Nathan Appietoa. Aiter the offer had been made, the counsei referred in a general way to the compromise, which he characterized as not & proposition of the assignee in bankruptcy, but of Mr. Appleton himself, The material points to be considerod by the creditors are the conditions of Mr. Appicton's Property. The assets may be classed uuder twe heads,—available and doubtiul. AVAILABLE ASSETS OF ME, APPLUETOM'S PROPERTY. Real estate in Washington Real estate in Massachusetts Personal property. Mr. Apple Stocks. secured liabilities... ou) Real estate doubtful as to ready sale, trust inter. ests in life insurance, &¢ sees 96,225 Deduct $1,000 granted ‘by law 2. 93,726 Amount which probably can’ be realized from these assets. Serio 30,008 total avatiable assets bout $115,000 Beyond this last sum is the unsalable reat estate, horses, carriages, books, paintings, &o. The available assets, or those which may oe turned into ready money consolidated with the assets of Bowles Brothers & Co., will not yrobably be much in excess of $150,000. THE ASSETS OF BOWLES BROTHERS AND CO. cannot be absolutely determined, but are estl mated as clear $35,308 30. In New York there is tu the hands of a receiver $7,000 in gold, which shou!d have been turned over to the assignees, but which the Court there would not order. Paintings wort $3,000 are also unavailable at present. There t# no prospect of adding these to the assets without litigation, In Paris the Syndicate control 65,000 franca ($13,000 in gold), but the expenses will be great there, and must be deducted. The chances of ob- taining money must be taken inte consideration. The Paris fands, with those similarly held in Lon- don, aggregate $30,000. How much of this will be obtained cannot be estimated. In round numbers, he would state, expenses at Paris and London de- ducted, the whole assets will be somewhere over $100,000 or $120,000. They will be probably lesa than the lastsum. The desire is to get the largest sum as early as possible and to prevent further litigation. Bowles Brothers & Co., by advice of their counsel, have recommended to the creditora to accept Mr. Appleton is proposition, To bring a suit to establish Mr. Appleton as a general part- ner, even if successiul, would entail an expense that would reducé the present property of Mr. Ap- pleton so that certaimly no more than is offered could be obtained. Mr. Albert Van Wagner, of New York, then asked concerning THE AUTHORITY OF THE COURTY in this matter, he representing personal claims and those of other creditors to tue amount of $45,000 to $50,000. If what Mr. Ropes had said was addressed to ‘the Court, he would inquire by what authority the Court was to decide the case. If the Court had no authority, this meeting was simply one of the creditors, and he questioned if the Court could legally act, whether creditors were willing or not. Judge Lowell suggested that the Court had power in certain cases to order a compromise when it could be shown it was for the best inter. ests of the estate concerned, under provisions of the bankruptcy law. In this case a compromise if conditional, and the conditions are that all creditors assent to the proposition. If the creditors decide to proceed against the party from whom the propo- sition comes, then, as the estate is situated, this hearing 13 at an end. ME. CHARLES BOWLES’ STATEMENT. The following is an abstract of the pleaof Mr. Charles Bowles:—I earnestly protest and appeal to this Court, to our assignees, to the creditors in all countries and to the public generally, against the hearing of any partial or hasty estimate to the prejudice of our estate. Its movable assets and books are in the hands of five bankruptcy courts, who can neither act wita or without each other, and meanwhile hold our estate fast in apeohecs tion” of the creditors, while rapidly consuming the assets themselves. The house has been told ta show its hands, but they must first be uniawfully bandaged. I see a statement published by au- thority that the liabilities of Messrs. Bowles Bros. & Co, are about four hundred thousand dollars, while the present assets are but about $35,000 to $45,000. This simply means, trom our Boston standpoint, that one can believe, without seeing, the maximum debt of all our branch houses in Europe and America, and see now but the mini- mum assets of this one branch, without believing any other. The Moa same error was made in London and ied to all our trouble, The maximum debt was at once admitted and stated at the sunt of $400,000, but the assets were stated at £3,500, to the entire ignoring of the great bulk of our prop- erty now available or not within reach and actual touch of the estimators, Naturally the creditors called us hard names and our house “a mere shell,” and they were not to blame for tt. At least NE MILLION OF DOLLARS GOLD 18 LOCKED UP in this business, Of this more than three hundred thousand dollars have been made and expended in twelve years past upon its foundation, Nearly or quite three hundred thousand dollars more of Mr. melas estate have also to be accounted for, and the outstanding liabilities make up the amount named. Where is thigmoney? It has neither becn lost, secreted nor secretiy diverted. The closest inspection ot each branch has yet revealed not one act of speculation nor of nialieasance in spite of the grave charges which greeted the suspension. Itis simply locked up at the Geneva homestead and Hreproof vauited bank building with other property gathered there as a central point and for future security against the Commune or similar outbreaks. Although the real estate was bought but two years since itis worth three times its cost, and is even worth more to our business for actual rental value than the entire deficit due our creditors. We could pay our yearly interest from that alone. But it ts encumbered and claimed by no less than two syn- dicates and two receivers, all at variance and all to be ia. from {ts sacrifice in the end. “It is the conviction of every partner and inl- tiated person alike that if the estate is not released from the chancery of its five Courts of Bank- ruptcy, not only will its aloresaid passive assets be Jost or appropriated by its competitions, but ita active and merchantable assets will be swallowed up inlaw, At present it is believed the latter are enough to pay its creditors in a little time if not wasted. In supplement to Appleton’s over | have Mr. Appleton’s Ober the honor to submit to you now a plan for funding our debts and belt eat | our passive assets in to the Committee of Ways and Means at Washing- ton, just three years apd one month a to-day, for the successful handling of our disordered gov- ernment finance It had the popular sanction then, and its features were reported to Congress in that committee biil, but the Franco-Prussian war intervening Kept it back, and we find in conse- quence DISORDER IN THR PUBLIC FINANCES eversince. itis as applicable to a large, united and connected family commonwealth like ours as to a United States commonwealth differing only im scale and not tn principle or in system. It providea ‘or the funding and gradual payment of our debts in full, with interest, the bonds Laity | issuable to any holder of our proven debt, elther for the whole or for any balanceuncovered, whether compromised or not. it does not interfere with the Appleton offer, It strengthens and supplements it; but the first must be accepted and the house released be- fore the funding can operate at all.” After Mr. Bowles had closed his remarks Judge Lowell said some of the conditions of the case were such that no one could fully understand the exact position of affairs, and there were grounds for the variance of parties; but it appeared fromm what had been presented that a compromise would be the same as litigation would effect if success fuily established. Mr. Ropes asked if it was the wish of the New York creditors to proceed against Mr. Appletom and endeavor to establish hin asa generat partuer, or did they wish Mr. Appleton to modify his propo- sition to make tt acceptavle, OPINION OF THE NEW YORK CREDITORS. Mr. Van Wagner replied that it was not neces- sary to discuss the matter of liability at tins time. They objected to the compromise proposed on the ground that it came i questionable shape. shey were willing to take fiity per cent and so compromise if Mr. Appleton will agree to make it so that they shall get that proportion of their claims, Some very good law- yers in New York had said that to accede to their proposition: would perhaps in two or three years give the creditors as little as twenty per cent. on is not matier between Mr. Appleton and the creditors of Howiles Brothers & Ci not be- tween Mr. Appieton and the ass Appleton 1s & general partner then the creditors ask that the whole property come under one head and be divided according t .
