Romer, Nov. 24, 1875, In the Chamber of Deputies to-day the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in answer to a question, stated that Italy had received reparation of a political nature for the losses of Italians residing at San Salvador, but ob- jection had been raised against the payment of damages, “Phe Italian government,” he said, “will insist upon its rights.” THE AMERICAN CENTENNIAL, ITALIAN ARRANGEMENTS FOR A NATIONAL REP- @ year, wants to be buried on g mountain.

CUBA. CIRCULAR ON THE CONDITION OF THE COLONIAL FINANCES—THE TREASURY EMBARRASSED BUT EASY OF REPLENISHMENT—USEFUL HINTS TO FISCAL OFFICERS. Havana, Nov. 24, 1875. Commissioner Rubi has issued a circular to the heads of departments, He says it is undeniable that the state of the Treasury is not very flattering, but the situation is not altogether desperate. The Treasury of Cuba can recover its former cqudition if the administration obeys the established system and fulfils its duties. Strict morality, zeal, por- severance, the natural product of the public revenue and its complete collection are what is required. ‘THE TAXES already established are sufficient to cover the ordinary and extraordinary expenses, and no new taxes are con- sidered necessary.

AVERY'S TRIAL PROGRESSING— STRONG EVIDENCE AGAINST THE PRISONER— MACHINATIONS OF THE ‘RING’ —ITS MEMBERS DEMORALIZED, Sr. Louis, Nov. 24, 1875. The consideration of the case of William 0. Avery, indicted for frauds on the government, was resumed this morning. The courtroom was crowded all day, great interest being evinced in the proceedings. Conduce G. Megrue, the original Ring organizer, was pat on the stand. He related, as in the former trial, that Joyce had written to him in 1871 to come here from Cincinnati, where he then was, and he came; that he agreed with Joyce and McDonald to arrange with the distillers for rnnning crooked whiskey, and to act as collector of one-half the tax on the crooked whiskey from tho dis- He told of dividing the money into five parts—one for himself, one for Joyce, one for McDonald, one for Ford and one for McKee. A part of the fund set apart for the subordinate officers went to Fitzroy, a part to Concannon, and a part was. set aside for William 0, Avery, the defendant, This last portion witnoss always gave to Joyce. At first the amount of it was $100 per week, at Joyce’s direction, but Joyce returned from a Washington trip early in 1872, and said that Avery must have THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS PER WERK, and this amount was always set aside after that. ‘The money was always pub in an envelope marked Ayory, and handed to Joyce or sometimes to Fitzroy. Witness never paid Avery any money in person, and had no positive knowledge of his being paid. * MUSH MONEY. ‘Witness told of making an agreemont with Brashier, @rovenue agent, who came here, by which Brashier, who had discovered the frauds, was to make a favorable report; he paid Brashier $1,000, at the Southern Hotel hore, and either $3,000 or $4,000 at the Carlyle House, in Cinginnati; at the latter’ place Brasbier presented witness with-a copy of THE WHITEWASHING REPORT, and witness still had it in his possession. Witness saw Avery here once in the summer or early fall of 1872, ‘but had no conversation with him. He was in the com- pany ‘of Fitzroy and Sharpe when witness saw him, ithess had a conversation with Avery in Washington with regard to crooked matters either in November or December of 1872, After leaying St. Louis Brashier had written him to come to Washington at once, and he went. He met Brashier at the Emmett House, who said that he was about to visit St. Louis a second time and work up these frauds; he said that Avery was fighting him, and asked witness to go to Avery and speak for him; witness went to Avery and told him that Johnny McDonald and John Joyce were very foolish to fight Brashier, and he (Avery) was very foolish to indorse them in {t, because it would result in injury not only to them, but to witness; witness told Avery that he (Avery) had received WIS SHARE OF THE PROFIT. of that business, as had witness, and if they were to fight Brasbier the whole thing wouid be discov- ered; Avery said that he was not fighting Brashier, and told ‘witness to send Brashier to him; witness went to Brashier and told him that Billy Avery wasn’t fighting him and that he wanted to see him; Brashier went to see him; I visited Avery’s house in Washington in 1874; I had been trying ior over a year to break up the illicit running; when [ left it had been agreed that there should be no more crooked running, and as for them to continue was to constantly endanger the whole secret and thus subject my connection with {t to expo- sure, I made every effort to break up the thing when I heard it had been again begun. I cone tinued this effort until it was broken upon. Hogue had told me in 1874 that araid on St. Louis was con- templated, and I called on Avery to talk with him about matters here. 1 opened the subject by men- tioning the trip of Brooks aud Hogue to New Orleans, 1 desired to know whether Avery was still connected with affairs at St. Louis as he was while I was there me very coolly, and told me that want to talk’ to me. I replied that if he didn’t thon I had no desire to speak to him. He then said that I had been talking about him, and mentioned Hogue as one of the parties to whom | had spoken. I flatly denied the assertion and an oxplana- tion was at once entered upon, In the course of a few moments 1 succceded in satisfying him that he had no grounds for complaint against me, and after talking awhile on other subjects 1 ief. In the cvurse of our conversation Avery did not say what the nature of the talk of which he complained was; this was about March, 1872; Joyce ulways told me that Avery kept him posted as’ to the coming of agents and other affairs at headquarters, and frequently showed me LETTERS AND TELEGRAMS purnorting to come from him, Ido not know Avery's ndwriting sufficiently well to identify it, and hence I cannot say whether or not the letters were written by lum. Tho telegrams avere generally, in substance, much like this:—“Your friends will leave on Monday ;* or, ‘Parties will start to-morrow,” or something of that kind. Joyce always explained ‘that the friends and parties referred to revenue agents. - Avery’s specified duty seemed to be to keep the ‘‘Ring”’ posted on the coming of agents. ‘The witness was subjected toa yery severe and ex- haustive cross-examination, but it did not result in changing tho character of his direct testimony. The evidence is considered to be very strong against Avery, and in connection with the letters irom him to Joyce, whigh the government attorneys will produce, Secure his conviction beyond all doubt, Ave stated to a friend to-day that under the present condi- tion of public sentiment he hardly hoped to be ac- quitted. GENERAL M'DONALD occupies acell in the county jail. He seems quite cheerful. His daughter paid him a long visit in his cell this alternoon, The Grand Jury is atill in session, The “Ring” is utterly demoralized. A MILL BURNED. Port Hurox, Mich., Nov, 24, 1875.

GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES. Wasmnerow, Nov. 24, 1875. THE INDIAN DEPREDATION CLAIMS—SPECIAL LEGISLATION REQUIRED FOR THEIR PAY- MENT. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs, in bis forth- coming report, will call attention to the fact that, although claims for Indian depredations amounting to nearly $5,000,000 have been from time to time filed in the Bureau and transmitted to Congress for its action, only a few ot them, aggregating the inconsiderable sum of $26,000, have as yef received Congressional attention, Comnitssioner Smith will, therefore, sug- gest that there should either be less work done on these claims or more; in other words, unless it proposed to act upon such cases claimants should be spared the la- bor and expense af preferring them and the bureaw absolved from their reception and preliminary ox- amination, as well as the never ending task of re- plying to letters and constant inquiries concerning their status, During several years the bureau was at liberty to pay well authenticated claims of this sort out of funds appropriated for the respective tribes among whom the depredators were numbered, and did pay about $150,000in this manner, but the law of 1872 prohibited the payment of any more such claims without special, legislation and required them all to be sent to Congress for its action, THE FISHERIES RUMOR TREATED WITH CON- ‘TEMPT. The report that the recent naval preparations had reference to the Canadian fisheries is not here consid- ered worthy of contradiction, as it is so plainly incon- sistent with the Treaty of Washington, the object of which, as its preamble declares, was ‘to provide for an amicable settlement of all causes of difference’ be- tweon the United States and Great Britain, The latter country having carried out the part of the treaty're lating to the so-called Alabama claims there is no rea- son to suppose ‘that the United States possess less honor than Great Britain in performance of treaty ob- ligations. CONTESTED SEATS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRE- * SENTATIVES. The Clerk of the House of Representatives has already received notices of fifteen contestants for seats, and the papers in some of the cases have already been filed, INDIAN TROUBLE. HOSTILITIES ANTICIPATED FROM A BAND OF RE- FRACTORY UTES. Wasmxaton, D. C., Nov. 24, 1875. Indian Agent Alexander G. Irvine telegraphs to Com- missioner Smith that in an altercation which recently occurred on the Cimarron Agency, New Mexico, he was wounded in the hand by an Indian; that the latter, at- tempting to escape, was shot by the guard, and that hostilities might be looked for any moment. He adds ‘that his hand wound will prevent his taking an active part in the difficulty, and recommends that the control of affairs be placed in chargo of the military autnori- ties. In reply, the Commissioner telegraphs as follows: Put the military authorities in full control, and give them hearty co-operation in bringing the Indians into subjection, ‘The Indians referred to are a band of fifty or sixty refractory Utes and their families, who were visited Jast summer by ex-Congressman MeNulta of Illinois, as a special commissioner of the Indian Bureau. He re- ported that they were groatly in need of a sound thrashing, but as it was too late for the military to take them in band this fall they bave escaped being confined on a reservation, and at the tite of this difficulty were at Cimarron for the purpose of drawing their weekly rations. enh MASE LIBERIA. DISTRESS GROWING OUT OF THE WAR WITH THE NATIVES—HOW THE LATTER ARE sUP- PLIED WITH ARMS—AN APPEAL TO PRESIDENT GRANT. Wasutncton, Nov. 24, 1875, Official information has been received, showing that in consequence of the war of the Liberians with the natives much distress has been produced among tho Liberians, some of whom in the interior settlements aro almost in a state of starvation. * It further appears that several of the natives, students at the Theological College at Cape Palmas, are in sympathy with their fellow natives and give them encouragement in their attacks on the Liberians, and that a number of Eng- TRADING WITH NATIVRS, supplying them with firearms, ammunition and other means of war. In viow of these facts Dr. Peter Par- ker, Drs. Nichols and Lindsay and Mr. Coppinger, Sec- retary of the American Colonization Society, called at noon on President Grant to represent all the facts in the case and to ask that a ship-of-war be sent to the African coast in the neighborhood of the settlements with a view of giving encouragement and support to the Liberians and to cliastise such natives as | may be within reach of its guns. The President, | sympathizing with the Liberians, informed the com: mittee that several weeks ago a vessel had been ordered, thither for the purpose of affording PROTECTION TO THE LIBERIANS in the manner indicated.

The | Secretary of State will doubtless communicate with | Mimiajer Schenck, in order that proper representation may be made to the British governinent witha view | to the removal of the Englishmen who are supplying | the natives with means of war as a private speculation. It is claimed by those who have examined the subject that the treaty between the United States and Great gives ample authority for govetnmental interterence for the protection of the Liberians.
