Lieuteaant Babcock, of the Fitth cavalry, reports to General Sherman, from Camp Apache, Arizona Territory, under date of June 28, that on the 16th of June, with a company ot thirty-two men and eigh- teen Apache soldiers, after following the trail for seven days he overtook a body of Apache Indians in the mountains near Tonto Creek. A fight ensued, during which fourteen Indians were killed and five women and a child captured, Other camps were found the same day which had been abandoned in ahurry. From information received from the cap- tured women it is probable that the Indians have been driven from Tonto Creek in the direction of the Verde reservation, The Wawaset. The Wawaset steamboat commission at their Meeting to-day examined several witnesses, Their testimony elicited no new facts. They were agreed that the officers of the boat did their duty in at- tempts te subdue the fire and save the passengers. National Banks Required to Deposit United Sta Bonds.

A very motley host it was, too, and a decidedly merry one. Platoonsof babies, in arms and perambulators; squadronsipf parasols, 4 pretty girls and panniers ; troops of representatives of the genus clerk, on a half holiday; carriages with- out number and other odds and ends of a big city. Down by the Lake, where the pleasure boats were Gliding about or around the Bethseda fountain, where the plash and play of the glittering parti- | cles beneath the feet of the angel seemed like & shower of diamonds in the sunlight on the velvety carpet of emerald, on which, for this day only, all were permitted to walk; at the Museum and Me- nagerie, bewildered between living and petrified Specimens of natural history; in many # shady nook in the Ramble, where lovers like to wander; at Schultz’s Spa, the playground, tle unfinished Observatory and the hill of the Casino, was'to be found a joyous crowd, all of whom were evidently bent on chasing dull care away. The audience ground the music stand presented more features of interest than the most brilliant assemblage the Academy can boast of. A triple row of babies in their carriages occupied the front of the ‘house,’ and the elders took pos- session of all the “reserved” tents in the vicinity. The loungers who sipped through their straws at the Casino above might be said to torm the family circle, and two Hibernian policemen, on whom the babies looked with dismay, made efficient ushers, ‘The musical programme partook of the olla po- rida character of the audience. Wagner and Strauss, Weber and Offenbach, Gounod and Hamm were brought out arm in arm. The two score mu- sicians that sat in a circle around the leader, with their black stovepipe hats, all of a pattern, seemed like a portion of the Shah’s suite. Some suitable uniiorm might be designed tor them, and their hats should not be allowed to mar the landscape and disiigure the beauty of the scene on the Mall. Black stevepipes with a verdant background can- not form a good picture, There was un unusual absence of life and spirits atthe Menagerie. The sea lion kept himself coolin his tank and enly once in a while deigned to wink one eye abuve the water at the giggling girls, who said he came from the Barbary desert; the baby elephant danced a sort of monotonous breakdown, shaking his long ears sadly to keep away the files; the camel ele- vated his hump in the most unpicturesque manner possible and went to sleep; the monkeys hung by their tails from the root of their cage and refused to quarrel, even for the edification of the small boy, and the grizzly bear had an expression of under- taker solemnity in his ugly face. As the sun de- clined towards the western horizon the stream of carriages grew larger, and liveries, elegant toilets and pretty’ faces met the eye on every side. Long after the concert was over and the musicians were at home with their instruments and their hats, the Park was thronged with visitors. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. a . WASHINGTON, August 16, 1873.

DAMAGING S&YELOPMENTS. The Alleged “Black List” Obialiied in Full by a Herald Reporter. Leading Firms of Importers Implicated. The Third Day of Agony Among the “Boys.” On the Rack of Excrnsiating Expectancy and Suspense. The Small-Fry Officials To Be Sacrificed to Save the Magnates. —_—__—— On Whose Necks Will the Axe First Fall? The third day of the agony at the Custom [louse has elapsed and yet the agony is greater than ever. The publication of the fact in the HERALD that the names of sixty-one onicials, whose conduct should be investigated, had been sent to Washington has received hourly confirmation from employés at the granite build- ing. There isnow no doubt whatever of the ex- istence of the ‘‘black’’ list. Every despatch from Washington makes assurance doubly sure. State- ments made by men in high position at the Cus- tom House have tended to throw all the blame upon tne inspectors at the wharves. This has been done to save them- selves, and for nothing else. The inspectors have been abused for taking perquisites, bat it is not in their power to cheat the revenue directly by any possible means. It is possible for them to hurry the delivery of goods or it is possible to de- lay them on tne dock for hours, and by doing so cause great expense to the im- porters at the general order ofilee, The biggest swindling is done by the chief offictals at the desks in the Custom House, who are permanently stationed there, and have all the best opportunities to make arrangements and to fix bargains with importers. Tue inspectors cannot pian any bargains with these dishonest merchants or importers for the prime reason that they never know one day ahead what vessel they will be detailed to inspect. The inspector as no means of knowing the contents of a case of goods, for he does not examine it at all. Tuere are examiners and ap, praisers for this purpose, and then the Inspector may receive a $10 bill for a little extra work as an act of courtesy, without any possibility of defrauding the revenue. The appraisers and examiners, however, have every chance of collusion with importers, and they re- ceive large amounts of money from dishonest im- porters. Uncle Sam is looked upon as a fair victim to be plucked, and he is plucked with enthusiasm, The man in business who would not think | of cheating his __ butcher, baker, or tailor of a bill does not venture to swindle the | United States government, and the crime, for crime it is, lies easily on his conscience. INSPECTORS’ DUTIES. The night inspectors work six hours. two watches. ‘Ihe night inspectors are paid $3 a watch. The day inspectors go on duty at six o’clock in the morning, and their duties compel them to leave at sunset. “THE EXPENSES.” In the office of Colonel Frank E. Howe there are @ number of men employed who are detailed from the Custom House. It costs the customs authori- There are ties $70 per day to support the office of Colonel Howe. There are fifty-iour special agents of the Treasury in the United States, distributed among the large cities. Mr. Roscoe Conk- ling, Senator of the United States, has been very friendly to Colone! Howe, the hero of the Park Barracks. Colonel Howe has a difference with Speciat Agent Jayne. Among the special agents the rates of pay are $8, $6 and $5a day. ‘This ‘ew out or the desire of Howe to have Jayne etaited to his office. To this Jayne did | not agree, and hence has grown an unfriendliness which seems to have given Jayne a desire to expose the peculations and corruptions in Howe’s department, Also out of this slight quarrel! between officials has come an exposure of the general dishonesty among customs officers, Thus do slight causes work great effects. ‘The above statements are merely made upon the authority of gossip among | the subordinates at the Custom House who are in anxious expectancy of the axe of authority veing applied te their several oficial necks, ‘This anxiety is not confined to sixty-one persons, but rvades the wnole force of employés except the ighest officials, far they alone know who are charged and what ones are approved clear of pecu- lation and conspiracy to defraud. The list of stained officers is kept close by Special Agent. Jayne, who, as he hobbies along on his | crutches, smiles Coepaett) at his ability to baie both the reporters and his subordinates in their efforts to geta ieee of what he terms his “little documents,”’ en he is spoken to upon the subject of the suspected officials he speaks patronizingly to his interrogator, and even wittily, of a certain hypothetical “burning houge, wherein tne fames began in the cellar.” It may be inter- red from this story that oviy lesser ofiicials are to bear the brant of the investigation. But this Spe- cial Agent Jayne is Oriental and mystical tn his | metaphors, and his little story may mean nothing, | and only have the object of “jibing’’ his inquisitor, in which he certainly faila somewhat. THE ALLEGED OFFENDING IMPORTERS. The names of those merchants devoted to the | slight mercies of Agent Jayne and the United | States District Attorney Bliss have hitherto been caretally arded. But bow poor their efforts | against those of a persevering Hexatp re- porter! The writer was determined to dis- cover who were the firms charged with fraud upon the customs’ revenwe, and he ald | so, It was only after careful watchings, and the | use of that reportorial strategy which require: , something more than United States legal powers | to circumvent, that a view of the books in the | District Attorney's office was gained. A transcript of the names of the most important firms against | whom suits, as alleged, have been begun, was | speedily made, and it is here presented :— Dudan, Frere & Co., importers of laces, shawis, &c.; suit for $103, begun July 12.

The rumor having been extensively spread in this city that the present investigations into Custom House irregularities had originated through Mr. Karlberg, who has been erroncously Norway and Sweden, Oscar L, having made representations to the Secretary of the Treasury that a bribe had been paid by him to the Custom House officer who passed his lug- gage and 100 dozen of gloves by the Anchor line steamer, by which he arrived from Glasgow last July, a HERALD reporter was sent to see that gentleman on the subject. Mr. Karlberg pep bar bears a striking resemblance to that of esent The follow: basa King, ‘ing is the history of Some three months ago Mr, Karlberg, who ts con+ ected with the pablic force in Frederickshoid, in Norway, dgtermined to go OB an excursion to Southern Lurops.

COMBINING BUSINESS WITH PLEASTRE, Having some spare money over and above the raw qUlwite sum required for travelling expenses, tt was resolved to invest it in the purchase of Dauish kid gloves, = which always find a ready inarket in this country, both on account of their cheapness and durability. The speculation entered into was not a large one, for only 100 dozen were purchased. Ali being in readiness, the two travellers leit for Leith, in Scotland, by the steam- boat, and then took the train to Glasgow, where they stopped for a few days, studying the immense manufaciuriny interests of the city, which prides itself apon building steamboats r the world, Alter & week’s sojourn in this city they embarked on board the Anchor Line steamship Caledonia, and arrived, ufter an uneventful voyage of eleven days, ia New York Harbor, COMMENCEMENT OF THEIR TROUBLES. When the anchor dropped thé two representa- tives from the land of the Sagas saw on board the Scotch steamer those grim realities, New York Custom House officers, whose stern looks and large diamond breastpins made the two Scandl- hayiaa wanderers fecl somewhat abashed. The examination of passengers’ baggage shortly followed. The eects of the two men ' consisted of a box, in which were fiity dozen gloves, and in their valises and bat boxes were filty dozen more, They showed their invoices tor the goods, vised by the United States Consul at Copenhagen, and attempted tn no wise to mystify or deceive the revenue officers, CASTLE GARDEN CUSTOMS. In consequence of the two gentlemen not having suilicient money at their disposal to pay the duties ail the baggage was sent to Castle Garden, and the travellers in the méantime proceeded to @ Scandinavian hotel kept in Green- wich street, The following day after their arrival they went to Castle Garden provided with their baggage checks, and, it is alleged, upon the payment of $50 all their packages were de- livered over to them... They were, of course, un- acqnainted with the tari@ of duty payable on these goods, and paid through the medium of the Scan- dinavian interpreter. No impediment to a freo examination of thetr packages was offered, nor was any false declaration made as to the contents of the packages. Mr. Piatve who, it ts alleged, paid the fifty dollars, did not obtain any receipt from the Customs ofmiciais. The subsequent story of their alleged wrongs is told by Mr. Karlberg as follows:— MR, KABLBERG’S STORY. My name is Frants Gustef Karlberg; L reside in Frederickshald, In Norway, where I have been con- nected with the police. in former years, while a ounger man, | seryed in the Norwegian army as jeutenant in an infantry regiment. Last May, in company with my old friend “Platte, lL went to Copenhagen. There we bought a num- ber of gloves, about one handred dozen, and agreed to come to the United States on a visit, We arrived here on the 10th of July. When the cus- toms officers came to examine .our baggage we showed our invoices, duly vis¢d by the American Consul at Copenhagen—so we cannot be accused of concealment, The goods and our baggage were delivered to us upon the payment of $60, and were sent to our hotel, kept by one Holman, in Green- wieh street. Having obtained the gloves we sent out salesmen who were able to speak the English language to sell them, as we ourselves cannot speak a word of that language. THK RAID BY THE POLICE, On the 16th of July, while we were sitting in an hotel, a number of police oficers entered our room and made us prisoners, on the charge, I believe, of selling stolen goods. We were then taken to the Church street Police station, Where we were locked up inacell for seventeen hours without food by order of Acting Captain Ferris, It was soon found that the goods wore not stolen, but instead of releasing us, we were handed over to the United States ‘authorities, and were committed by Commissioner Davenport to Ludlow Street Jail, where we were confined as common criminals 1n cell 41, trom the 17th of July to August 4, when we were discharged on our own recog- nizances to appear for trial when called upon, which will be at some terribly remote day I have no doubt.’ The police have made a mistake in ar- resting us, and to cover their blunder have handed us over to the Customs authorities, INTERVIEW WITH KARLBERG’S COUNSEL. Last evening a reporter called upon the counsel of the accused men, at 132 Nassau street, who said that a petition had been sent to the Secretary of the Treasury for the release of. the gioves which are now in the Seizure Department of the Custom Hiouse. He did not believe that the accused men had attempted to bribe the Custom House officers at Castle Garden. He believed that the urrest was a thoroughly wrongiul oneand that it would be buta simple act of justice to re- store the men their gloveg and let them return to their unhappy families, Mr, Kariberg is living in this city and saw his counsel yesterday, while Platte has gone to visit a friend inthe United States Army living at Troy. Smuggling on the Havana Steamers— Defrauding the Revenue by Whole- sulemRuanning Ashore Saratoga Trunks Filled with Cigars—Cigarctte Smug- gling=—The German Steamers at Ho- boken. yd It is an admitted fact that the smuggling which takes place of tobacco on board the Havana steamers plying to this port entails a loss of no small importance to the revenue of this country. | Pursers, stewards and sailors, all more or less frequently, manage to “run’’’ packages of the fragrant weed ashore, varying in weight from five to five hundred pounds. There are stewards wno, by bribing a customs officer with $20, are per- Mitted to take a large Saratoga trunk ashore, packed with the choicest cigars, The sailors | hide their tobacco in the rigging, in some out of the way corner or’ in some pile of cordage, while the firemen resort to plies of coal and the engineer | to sonia out of the way crauny in the machinery, but ail are impelied by the same motive—aameiy, tosmuggile ashore their contraband wares while the customs officers are not on the alert, It may be remembered that a short time ago a large pack- age of cigars, securely fastened in oilcioth, was thrown from the deck of an incoming Havana steamer to a boat which was lying in the bay. The ackage Was secured and the boat made off for the ng Island shore. hf CIGARETTE SMUGGLING. At the present moment the Spanish cigar dealers | are offered, in the city, simuggied cigarettes at almost every hour of the day, by | aAleoy who go round with carpet bags and oder Heuradez and Chorrito cigarettes for ten cents a package. while the trade prices oj said brauds are irom liiteen to | seventeen cents each, wheu duty is paid. In con- versation with a large Spanish cigar dealer on | 4 le Broadway yesterday, said cigar and cigarette smuggling is immensely on the increase, anda great Many small dealers, who have but little to lose if detected by the revenve authorities, supply themselves almost excinsively with smuggled goods. “I have heard,’ continued the speaker, “that. smugglidg Is also extensively pursued at Key West.” THE GERMAN STEAMERS AT HOBOKEN. Smuggiing to a large extent is reported to take place at the wharves of the German steamers ut joboken. When coal ts laden at night from barges packages of cigaré will be pushed tlrough tie | ship’s side and taken on board the barge, wuere it | is quickly hidden away in the cabin. Hobo- | ken has regular receiving houses jor smug- led ods, where sailors and smugglers now they can always easily dispose of their goods. So notorious was the smuggling at Hoboken a | short time back that Customs officers were laced at the ferry landings in that place and New Fork to overhaul the passengers dt by the steamers from Germany, and several thousand cigars were captured. But that work is no longer rrormed, and smuggling of the most unblushing ‘ind ts carried on at the Hoboken docks, with, it is alleged, the connivance in” many cases of the Hoboken police, who are silenced with a piece of | cloth or a box or two of good cigars. Platt & Boyd—Jayne, Bliss & Co. A statement has been made that Mr. Bliss, United States District Attorney, informed Special Agent Jayne that it was not within his (Jayne's) power to seize auy of the books and papers of Platt & Boyd except those that were mentioned in the warrant. In explanation of this statement Mr. Bliss declares that no question was made at the time of the seizure except as to whether Mr. Jayne had a right to seize the stock book of Messrs. Platt & Boyd. Mr. Bliss Was of opinion that the rignt to seize the stock book was not conferred by anything that ap- peared in the warrant, but that it would be proper, under the circnmstances, to retain pos- session of the book in question. He sent to Judge Blatchford for an additional warrant that would leave no doubt upon the point. ' Accord- ing to Mr. Bliss’ statement it would seem that Mr. Jayne held he had a perfect right, looking at the terms of the warrant and regarding his power as seizing officer, to seize the stock book, Wnich he accordingly aid, ‘The firm protested against this proceeding. Mr. Biiss declares that ne subsequently looked into the law with great ‘e, and came to the conclusion that Mr, right to take possession of the stock book was undoubted, With regard tothe report that Messts. Platt & Boyd have commenced a suit for $30,000 against Mr. Jayne for the wrongful seizure of their books and papers the officers of the United States District and Circuit Courts state that no papers in reierence to any such suit have been fled with them, Examinations for the Position of Deputy is a handsome man of average height, with dark eyes and beard, the latter being somewhat heavily aprinkled with gray.

Stuce April 1 two vacancies of Deputy Collectors have existed in the Custom House. oue in the 7 ‘Third, or Warehouse division, cansea by the pro> motion of Mr. Thomas L. James to the Postmaster Ship of thia city, and the other in the Fifth division, presided over by Mr. John R. Lydecker, who waa commissioned Special Deputy Collector and Store- keeper of the Port. Since then the two divisions were managed, the first named by Colonel Robert Dea Anges, and the latter by Colonel W. H. MacMahon, under the supervision ot Mr. Lydecker. But the additional labors entailey upon these gentlemen by being compelled to act as deputy collectors, besides their own labors of | chief clerks, has been too much strain, and Mr, Lydecker's newly imposed and multiplied duties, drawing away his attention from the desk le occupied in the Fitth division to others g reater importance, has induced Generab rthur, the Coilecior, to order @ competitive examinat{oa, Gnder the Clvil Service code, for the purpose of filing the vacancies, Applications were lumited to those employed in the Custom House, and at the examination, which took place yesterday in the Civil Service room, tour candidates jor prefermeut put in an appearance. , Postmaster Jamos, wno is still Chairman of the.
