Betore he re- turns to Texas he will have an interview with the Secretary of War in reference to the recent raids into that State from Mexico, The authorities here are apprehensive of inrther trouble on account of these raids, A jew Weeks ago, it will be rememe | bered, complaints were made of } OUTRAGES UPON OUR TROOPS | on the Rio Grande oy officers and orners who were | formerly resiwents of Mexico, and now, whiie claiming to be citizens or thie country, are in syimpathy with the raiders.

FRAUDULENT WAR CLAIMS.

Bingham will to-day lay before the Constitutional Convention, in response to a resoiution adopted by that boay, a report of his investigation of the affair. A special despatch to the Globe Democrat says :— The report of Adjutant General Bingham shows that war claims certificates have been audited and issued to the amount of $113,000 for military services alleged to have been rendered by tue Seventeentn regiment of enrolled militia, organiz- ed in St. Louis, aitm gle that regiment was never mm active service, according to tne roil flea in the Adjuiant General’ office, Was never en- titled to any pay whatever, and tha) these certi- ficates were issued against the rules and revula- tions of the pay department, and in violation of the laws relating to war claims; that the stub-books Jrom which the certificates issued on account of this regiment were taken bave disappeared irom | the Adjutant General’s omice; that duplicate copies ol the muster and pay rolls of this regiment were fabricated as vouchers jor the fraudulent claims en which the issue of these certificates was aged.

The despaten turtoer States that ex-Governor Woodson 18 expected in Jefferson City in & few days to assistin a further exposure oj this alleged swindle. It is also stated that great efforts have been made to hush this matter np and various inducements have been offered Geheral Bincaam by interested par- ties to suppress the investigation, but General Bingham has paid no heed to them.

A NEW YORK DOCTOR FIGHTS A SPANIARD. Senor Cortereal Wounds Dr. Curtis and Then Kills Himself. A PROBABLY CAUSELESS QUARREL. | A despatch, conveying uews that will astound a | great number of peopl» here, was received from Havana iast nignt, it states that on Friday last a duel was fougutat the beautiful sudury of Martanao, between a young New Yorker, named Dr. Alger- non sidney Curtis, and a Spanish tobacco dealer, named Salvador Cortereal; taat Dr. Curtis was wounded, and that Coretreal, believing that he had killed bis opponent, blew out his own orains, | Both the parties are well known in New York. | | They were friends while here, anu to throw light upon the occurrence of the duel between them it 1$ necessrry to tell something of tuelr peculiar characters and of the beginning of their courtesy. WHEN THEY FIRST MET, Late in the spring time of 1874 Spantsh gentle- man, giving bis name as Seilor Salvador Cortereal, arrived with lis wife at a fashionable boarding house in Nineteenth street, near Fourtn avenue, where he hired apartments, which he chose to furnish himself, It was discovered by the other occupants of the house, aiter Sefior Cortereal bad been m their company jor a short time, that he was now acommunicative man; but rather taciturn, and even moody attimes. Stil, ne would very often engage in conversation at the table, and at sich times would prove by his references and quo- | tations that he was a man of talent, cultivated by | travel and study. Mrs, Cortereal, an American lady, seemed to be devoted to ner husband, proud of nis mental powers, yet occasionally expressing by her action that she was in awe oj him, THE DOCTOR ENTERS, Soon atter the arrival of Seflor and Mrs, Oor- tereal at the house in Nineteenth street another but very different kind of a family party took up | their abode there. This party was composed of Dr. Algernon Sidney Curts, a young paysician without practice, somewhat dissipated, it is _ said, and seemingly without a well poised intellect; Mrs. Curtis, a youthful matron, | who appeared to be stricken with sorrow | by the erratic life of her husband, and taree very young children, There sprucg up a friend- | ship between the two families. This attachment was apparently encouraged more by the almost simultaneous arrival of the parties in the house and the contiguity of their rooms than by any realsym- pathy between them, Mrs, Cortereal and Mrs, Uur- | tis, Indeed, were naturally enough attached to each ether, for both were members of wealthy New York families, and upon meeting found many | social topics upon which they were equally in- | formed, But the association of Selor Cortereal | aud Dr. Curtis was a matter lor which no real cause can be found, ‘The latter was light in body, as well as in intellect. About twenty-six years of age, be was short and thin, light hatred and blue eyed, his Manuer without a token of manliness — nor of healthy boyishne: he seemed, indeed, an enlarged iniant, with feeble, dissolute instincts. He was @ spendtbrut, and glorified nimseif a true gentleman, and therefore a being who should labor neither with bis bands nor his head, He often | declared, it is said, that NO MAN WHO LABORED could beatrue gentleman, Hence hisonly real business in life was to engage in freaks that brought sorrow and dismay to his respectable parents and vhe estimable mother of nis chtidren, Mr, Cortereal, on the other hand, was a strong, manly person, abdous five feet nine inches high, well developed, aod witha dark face, on which intelligence was depicted. Me impressed every one with the belief that he was a sturdy man, yet inspired very few with @ desire to ve friendly, He spoke Englis French and German almost as fluently as he did his native tougue, the Spanisn, He appeared to be @ man who lived very much within bimseif—that is, he brooded, and hence was sensitive and suspicious, | In him the flery Spanisn nature was very fully de- veloped, He was apt to take offence, mag- nifed slight omissions into great insults to himself, and resented them speedily and powerluily. Stil he was a maa naturally good at heart, and though Be would do harm in bis auger, when bis Ot was past would quickly approach and apologize to those he bai been embittered against. Mr. Cortereal, in fact, wasa passionate man, but a gentieman, He was en- gaged In the tobacco business in this city, and nad @ branch establishment or agency in Havana. Strange as it may be to the readers, incompre- hensible as it was to the observers at the | ume, Dr. Curtis and Mr. Cortereal, during the two months’ stay of the former and his | family in the Nineteenth street residence, BECAME GREAT FRIENDS. And after Dr.» Curtis and wife left tne house they remained sucn. Mr. Cortereal and his wile continued to reside im Nineteenth street, the | former until last April, the latter until the eariy days of May. In the meantime Dr, Curtis called upon them very olten, Ihe departure of Mr. Cortereal fer Havana was very sudden, and he, therejore, leit His wife behind him to make all the necessary arrangements here for their residence | in Havana for some tine, | THE DOCTOR GOES TO HAVANA, After Dr. Curtis and his famliy left Nineteenth | | street taey went tothe country, and upon their return took up their residence in Sixteenth street, where they remained unit! about three weeks ago, | At that time the young doctor, who was still freak- | ish as ever, suddenty iniormed Mrs,Curtis, lus wile, | that he was going out of town to be absent sev- | eral cays. He said no more but leit bis home and po hint of lus Whereabou's Was bad by bis wife, or pareats, until Suuday last, when his father was jnlormed oy a third party that be was in Havana, Jn the Meantime his despairing Wile had left the resivence im Sixteenta street and gone back vo the gome of her motner. THE RELATIVES UNINFORMED. No information was had of the uniortal affair which has nappened in Havana by any of Dr. Cartis’ relatives or acquaintances until tt was conveyed to them by a HERALD repotter last eveu- ing. Sorrow and \Wismay were created by the news. At the boarding nouse in Nineteentn strees sympathy Was expressed tor the suicide Cortereal. | Is seemed to be the generat belie! that | the suspicious and passionate Cortercal | had seen some unimportant action of the freakish young docier, had brooded over it and decided that it was an eviaeuce of Cartis? criminality toward biw, and had determinediy sought revenge. The bellef was that the Spaniard was mistaken and that Dr, Cartis had doue him no real offence, fur tt was declared there was no opportunity jor evil, a8 Mrs, Cortereal was devot vo ver Whimsical husband as but few women are to their lords, | WAS CURTIS INSANE? | At another place, waere Dr. Curtis’ relatives re. | side, It was declared that the last proot was given | that he Was insaue, and it was believed that he might nave done some strange act to arouse the jealous anger of Cortereal.
