CABLE NEWS From All Parts of the Old World. THE EASTERN DIFFICULTY. Hungary’s Strange Attitude Fully Explained. GERMANY WATCHING AUSTRIA. What the Russian Ambassador Said to the Sultan. DUMB SHOW IN ST. PETERSBURG. Loxpow, Uct. 27, 1876. ‘The leading feature of tho war news this morning 15 S confirmation of the reports current last night in re- gard to the now and strange attitude which Hungary has taken, The intentions of the Hungarians cannot be mistaken, The woight oftheir influence in the affairs of Austria is recog- nized by the fact that the Prime Minister {s a Hungarian, and naturally enough the Province looks ‘with disfavor upon any schemes for the addition of more Sclavonian territory. The Hungarians see very clearly that an alliance with Russia can, in the ovent of a general war, result only In the addition of Servia and Bosnia to Austria, This will naturally be the sharo which Austria will take if Russia ciaims Roumania and Bulgaria. Such an addition would turn over the balance of power into Selavic handa Herr Tisza, the Hungarian Premior, has been attempting to defeat the Russian alliance. His cour: has 80 compromised Count Andrassy, Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs, that his retirement may be necessary. The Austrian and German newspapers are quarrelling over the course of Hungary. The official government Journal of Berlin declares that ‘-the attitude of the Hungarian press only tends to confirm Germany's eautious reserve and to justify its expediency.” THE DESPAIR IN SERVIA. The depression at Belgrade continues, but tho be- ginning of the end seems near, If the Russo-Servian army is left unassisted the Turks will as- suredly reach Beigrade, They are advancing slowly and irresistibly. However, unless the armistice, now reported to be concluded, is carried into effect General Tchernayeff will certainly fight to the last. Thore is ecarcely any reagon to doubt that the Servian govern- ment have lost all control over General Tchernayeff, who is completely at variance with the Minister of War. Inregardto the rumors of a crisis, doubtless the Ministers would gladiy resign if Prince Milan would accept their resignation, and if they cou'd get others to replace them. But these difficulties mako a change of Ministry impossible, It is generally expected in Bolgrade that Servia will be created a kingdom; but this anticipation only iucreases the growing dread of Russian patronage among tho better class of Servians. Only thirty Russians arrived at the Servian capital yes terday. THE FALL OF pyvxis| The capture of Djunis by the Turks is confirmed. Tho Zimes’ correspondent gives a circumstantial Darrative of the five days’ struggle from the 19th to the 23d, inclusive, and says it was unquestiona- bly the greatest success during tbo campaign. {n consequence of their defeat the main por- Mon of the Servian army has‘withdrawn to Deligrad; but a part at least of Horvatovitch’s forces bas been cut off in the direction of Krusevac, whence it pan, however, retroat by the Servian Morava to Slatatz, {6 is not known whether the Servia will hold on to the left bank of the Morava; but this seems to be immaterial. They cannot make a stand there, as they would be lable to be cut off from the river and forced into the angle formed by the confluence of the two branches of the Morava. Unless an armistice 1s concluded the Servians must move back their defensive line from Alexinatz and Deligrad to Paratkin and Cuprija, which would open the Morava Valley with all its resources to the Turks. RUSSIA TO THE SULTAN. The text of General Ignatifl’s address to tho Sultan upon presenting his credentials was published in Constantinople yesterday, The Russian Ambassador said the Czar understood the difficulties of the Situation, and although he did not dissimulate his sympathy for Turkey’s Slavonic subjects, bo trusted existing diMficulties would be reinoved, so that the Bultan might improve the condition of his subjects. The Sultan replied in a similarly conciliatory strain. He hoped the Czar would contribute toward facilitat- ing reforms. There is reason to believe that Russia, being herself averse to war, is endeavoring to induce Greece ana Roumania to take the ficll. They, however, hesitate, THE SERVIAN REBELLION, An official Servian bulletin posted at Belgrade states what the Turks on Tuesday ma desperate attempt to break Genera! Novoseloff’s lines, but were repulsed with great slaughter. General Novoseloff has asked for reinforcements for the Servian army of the Ibar and Colonel Becker has been ordered there with fresh troops, Fighting continues around Alexipatz and Deligrad. The alarming reports, such as those of the concen- tration of large forces on the furkish frontier and tho calling out of the reserves, are deniod from St. Peters. burg. The army isnot yeton a war footing. Only preliminary measures have been taken, so that in caso of need a considerable army could be in readiness with out delay. It is reported from Nisch that the Servians on tho 2ist evacuated Kaonik after partly destroying tho place. The Turks now bold the town and have found valuable booty there, END OF THE MONTENEGRIN CAMPAIGY. ‘Thé completo failure ot Detvish Pach: recent at. tack on the southern frontier of Montenegro ends the campaigo for this year, asthe winter seasun has com- menced. Moukhter Pacha will sbhortiy withdraw to Trebinje unless he is cut off by the Montenegrins, The plaim around Trebinje is completely flooded, Dervish Pacha’s army ® tboroughly demoralized. All ine Catholic Albanians, who joined the Turkish standard, have returned to their homes and reiuse 10 telinquish the arms supplied them by the Turks, The Asiatic volunteers have peremptorily demanded to be discharged. Great distress prevails in Montenegro notwithstanding the imilitary sucocsses, because of the necessity of maintaining a largo number of refugees, ROUMANIA'S NONORADLE INTENTIONS, Roumania bas given sssurances that ner military measures are intended for no other purpose then the ordinary @utumnal practice A decree has been pub- lished in Bucharest convoking the Roumanian Cham- bers im extraordinary session on the 2d of Novem- ber next. Prince Ghika arrived in Vienna yesterday, whence he will come to London His mission mainly concerns England. The opinion is confirmed from the Austrian capital that Roumanta still hesitates to openly join interests with Russia, Mungarian influences are said to be at the buttom of the hesitancy. THE ARMISTICK, It is now believed in London that the six weeks’ armistice has been secured, and that a prospect of its prolongation by subsequent arrangement exists, In Constantinople also itis thought that an understand. ing will be reached on the question of an armistice, Goneral Ignatielf, the Russian Ambassador, wiil have another private audicnce with the Sultan to-morrow aiternoon.

INSURRECTIONS UNDER SPANISH RULE. All the persons implicated in the recent conspiracy in Spain will be tried before ordinary tribunals. Among the documents discovered by the govern- ment are decrees signed by Ruiz Zortlia, con- ferring public appointments upon the intended leaders of the insurreetion and bonds redeemabie atter the success of the movement. The military men arrested were all on the half pay list, and an increase of salary may have been tne ambition which mspired these officers to join the insurrection. It is announced this morning from Madrid that the steamer Mandez Nujiez has reached Havana with 1,250 troops, Little hope is felt in the Spanish capital that the insarrection will be quelied under the double. headed govern it new existing in Cuba.

Cacao, Ill, Oct, 26, 1876, The jury in the case of the people vs. Alexander Sullivan, on trial in tho Criminal Court here for the murder of Francis Hanford, came into tho court room this morning and again informed the Court, Jadge Mc- Allister, that they were unable to agree, and asked to be discharged. With this reqnest the Court complied. It is understood that the jury stood eleven for acquit- tal and one for conviction on that charge. There is much discussion in the city about the alleged partisan course of Judge McAllister during the entire trial, and especially in his instructions tothe jury. Prosecuting Attorney Reed bas openly intimated in court bis opin- jon of the rulings, and the feeling is so strong in town thac several petitions are in circulation asking McAl- lister to resign.

Troops Initiating the Coming Civiliza- tion of the Savages. THEIR GUNS AND PONIES. TAKEN. Details of an Exciting and Suc- cessful Operation, PEACE SECURED AT STANDING ROCK. a Brsmanck, D. T., Oct, 26, 1876. A Standing Rock letter of the 20th gives the follow- ing account of the disarming of the Indians at that agency yesterday. 11 was really one of the most ex- citing days ever witnessed at this ageucy. Rumors to the effect that the Seventh cavalry were coming down to assist in disarming and dismounting the Indians here had reached us early last week, but were gen- erally discredited until Sunday morning last, when it became known that troops were approaching from above on both sides of the river, We were not long in drawing our own inferences from the above fact, and it proved in the end that the Indians were also pretty well informed on the same subject, MOVEMENT OF THE TROOPS. At half-past two a line was quietly formed by the battalion under command of Colonel Poland tor dress parade, after which the men changed their cartridge boxes for the fleld belt and were ready and eager for any duty that might be required of them, particularly that of hunting Indians. ‘And right hero let me say that nofner body of men can be found inthe department than the nino com- Panies stationed at this point ander General Carlin’s command, As thé line was forming for parado Gen- eral Carlin, accompanied by an aid, rode out to meet General Terry and the column of cavalry approaching om the west side, which was met near the Standing Rock, two and a halt miles irom the agency. THE DISARMING COMMENCED, In the meantime Colonel Johnston with hiscompany of the First infantry hed moved up to Wolf Necklace's camp, and the work of disarming his band and taking in the ponies, such as were within reach, was soon accomplished. General Carlin, aiter seeing the work of disarming Wolf Necklace’s band well under way, at once rode back to the post and with the other eight companies of infantry, comprising the garrison, pro- ceeded rapidly below to the Black Feet and Uncpapa camps. At tnis time the view obtained on eisher side of the river was exciting as well as extremely interest- ing. The column on the cast side, consisting of eight companigs of the Seventh cavalry and three of inian- try, under General Sturgis, was also evidently nearly at hand, ALARM OF THE INDIANS. Both Indians and penies could be seen fleeing over the blufls in every direction. On the west side General Terry had placed the entire charge of affairs im the hands of General Carlin, who, with Lieutenant Roach ad =6his $= detachment ot scouts, had ridden rapidly down to Grasses camp. The Indians wore in a bigh state of alarm and excito- ment and were running constantly from their lodges into the timber and thick underbrush back of their camp. Colonel Reno, with his four companics of the Seventh cavalry, rode down rapidly from above the agency, and, passing about a mile to tne rear of ‘the post, hastened to placo bimself both below and be- tween the Indian camps and the bluffs, and in doing 80 prevented several parties of Indians with ponies from oscaping. THR INDIANS QUIETRD. As soon as possible General Carlin endeavored to quiet the alarm of the Indians in camp by assuring them that they would reccive no personal harm them- selves, but they must give un all their arms and ponies, and that it must be done at once, without the jeast delay. An Indian is, however, never able to comprehend or understand without time for study or thought and an opportunity for talk, and so it provea at this tinre. It was already getting late and the sun was fast sinking behind the hills in the west. SEARCHING THE LODGES. The intantry under Colonel Poland had by this time arrived, and been deployed as skirmishers in rear of the camp in ao single line nearly a mile in extent General Carlin at once gave orders for this line to ad- ‘vance, and in passing through to search every lodge carefully for arms and to aiterward scour the under- brash and timber. No resistance of any kind was at- tempted, and im fact it would have been entirely use- less. ATTEMPTS AT ESCAPE. It frequently happened, in passing through the tim- ber, one or two men would run unexpectedly uponas party of Indians crouching in the uaderbrush with their rifles, It needed but the crack of one rifleto start the blaze, but it would have ended in this in. stance in the wiping out of Indians at this agency. It was dark when the work on the weat side was finished, and the command returned to the post, Colonel Reno with bis battalion of cavalry going into camp near the garrison on the ea ide. 1t wag late when General Sturgis got ap, and dark came on before he was able to complete the search of all tho camps. He went into camp nearly opposite the post, and on Monday sent out & detachment that secured quite a number oi ponies and some few arms. TALK TO THE CHIEFS. General Terry about the same time had a short talk with some few principal chiefs at the post. It was short and concise, and no opportunity was given for the Indians to reply. They were told by the General that the authorities at Washington had decided that all Indians at the agencies must be deprived of their arms and ponies, and that such as bad not already been found must be brought in and given up. Several Indiafis offered to go out and bring in their berds, and quite a number have since been bs in, PONIES SECURED. At this time probably 500 or 600 ponies have been secured, This is but a small portion of the ponies, The others are cither out herding some distance, as is their custom, or have been driven out on the supposition that they were tobe deprived of them entirely. 1 think the arms of all kinds that have been found at this agency will not exceed 100 pieces. This includes rifles, shot guns, revoly: and sabres. Even but a very small proportion are serviceable rifies, It can readily be imagined what has become of the others that bave not been found. There is, however, no dan- ger of auy mor ms being carried by Indians at this agency. The rifles and ponies they have saved they will take good caro to keep out of the way for some time to come.

An officer from Terry’s command writes from Stand- 19g Rock on the 20d as follows:— Woe arrived at Stand- ing Rock agency last night aad scooped what tew ponies there wero left at Bull Head’s camp, eight miles above Standing Rock, and Two Bear’s camp, five miles Delow, We got about 130 ponies and a few poor arma, ‘The rest were driven off and seereted. PREPARATIONS FOR A “FIGHT, ‘We were informed that the Indians at Two Bear's camp were going to stand us of. The command was formed in line of battle, and after a short parley they caved, The Reo scouts are the best pleased men in the business, They took charge of the ponies. I am in- formed that Running Antelope’s band on the west side of the river left when he heard that Colonel Reno's command was coming. Reno followed them, but how far and with what success Ido not know. Two bat- talions of cavalry are leaving this morning fora camp about fifteen miles from here, We remain in camp to-day and expect to continue down tho river, how far it is impossible to teil at present. OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE DISARMING OF THE INDIANS AT STANDING ROCK. Cwicaco, Oct. 26, 1876, The following despatch was received at military headquarters here to-day :— Sranpffo Rock, Oct, 25, 1876. To Lincrexant Gewenat V. H, SueKipan, Chicago:— Colonel Storgis lott Lincoln on the 20th, Major Reno on the Zlst, and each arrived here on the alternoon of | with bis own and Reno's ‘orces, mounted and disarmed them at both the camps this side, Owing partially to the fact that before I arrived at Lincoin news was sent to the Indians here, itis said, by Mrs. Galpin, that we were coming, and our purpose stated; but principally, 1 believe, that some time since, owing to the failuro of the grass here, the animals were sent to distant grazing places many milesaway, comparatively only a few horses were found. I, thercfore, the next morning, called the chiels together avd demanded the surrender of their borses and arms, telling them that unless they complied their rations would be stopped, and also telling them that whatever might be realized from the sale of the property taken would be invested in stock for them. They have quietly submitted, and have sent out to bring in their animals. Some have already arrived, ond we have ow i our possession 700. More are arriving rapidly, and I expect to double this number. 1 have kept the whole forca here until now for the ofiect its presence produces, I shall start Sturgis to-morrow morning for Chey- enne, leaving Revo until Carlin completes the work here. Only a few arms have yet been found or sur- rendered, but 1 think our results are satisfactory. Nota shot was fired on either side of the river. Of course no surprise can now be expected at Cheyenne. The desired effect will be attained there by the samo means as those employed here, ALFRED H. TERRY, Brigadier General, INAUGURATION OF THE POWDER RIVER EX- PEDITION, Cuxrexnx, Wy., T. Oct, 25, 1876. The arrival of Gencral Merritt's command at Red Cloud yesterday signalized the closing up of the Big Horn and Yellowstone campaign, which will be suc- ceeded by the Powder River expedition, consisting of fifteen companies of infantry and eleven companies of cavalry, the latter principally of the Fourth regiment, with a few companies of the Second and Third regi- ments, which have not been in the summer cam- paign, All are fresh troops, and will be commanded by General Crook in person.

Parker was serving an imprisonment in the Penitentiary here when the abduction took placo, He knew Benners long before that, and the fatter bim letters of comfort, promising to aid in getting him out This is how he identitied the letters found in the Harrisburg house. All the evidence was in the form of bints, dark iti- mations, &c., but nothing explicit was proved. The prisoners, however, were all committed fortria The inatter is being further investigated.

The United States Cireuit Court, Judge Dillon pre- siding, bas boon engaged since the 10th inat. in trying one of the most important whiskey suits ever brought in this country. In 1865 J. A. Rhomberg, a saloon keeper of Dubuq! ried a distillery there. Inthe winter of 1865 he paid an assessment of $190,000 on account of frauds. In 1874 he was assessod the sum of $750,000, which he refused to pay. This suitis brought to recover the amount of his bonds, $110,000. Thegovernment js represented by United States Dis- trict Attorney Colono! Lane, of Davenport, and Colonel Henderson, of Dubuque. The trial shows the immense amount of labor which has been performed by the counsel, by the government aod Revenue Agent Brown in unearthing the frauds after a lapse of ten years. ‘They were iortunate in procuring the bookkeeper and another employé of Rhomberg, who testified to the magnitude of the frauds. Colonel Henderson opened the case tor the government in an able speech, which occupied nearly eight hours. Colonel Lanc closed the case. ‘The price of the Hxratp to-day and henceforth will be Ohree cents, AMUSEMENTS, THE BENEFIT OF THE ORPHAN ASYLUMS.

At eleven o’clock this morning President Hawley, on bebalt of the United States Centennial Commission, Director General Goshorn, President John Welsh and the members of the Board of Finance assembled at the main entrance to tho Exhibition grounds at Belmont avenue for the purpose of weicoming Governor Hayes and escorting him to the Ohio building, Alter the Ohio Building had been reached an en- trance for the distinguished guest and his escort was accon:plished only with the greatest difficulty, the Centennial Guard showing a disgraceful incfiiciency in the endeavor to keep the crowd back suficiently to open.a passageway. When Governor Hayes made his appearance at the east portico he was grected with cheers and the entbustnsm reached its height. Hats were flung in the air and cries of ‘*Hayes! Hayes!’ were heard in all directions, . General Hawley then stepped forward, and as the noise subsided he commenced with a short address of welcome, BPEKCH OF GOVERNOR HAYES. Governor Haves said—Un behalf of the people of Ohio, I desire to make their grateful acknowledgment to all of the Centennial authorities for the reception anid cordial welcome given us. I desire, also, on be- hall of the State of Ohio, to express our appreciation of the honor done to us by the presence of the Centen- nial commissions trom foreign countries, who are here with us in their respective represeniative capacities; to the representatives of tho executive depart- ment of our national government in charge of the goverament exbibiis and to the Centennial commussioners of our sister States, who have honored us with their welcome presence; also to the People, one and all, citizens of Other States and of other Jands than our own, who are here to join with us in this commemoration. ‘The citizens of Uhio have been deeply interested in this celebration and are greatly gratified by its success, If events are to be sured by their results the work oi the great found- ers of the national government may well be commem- orated by the peopie of all the States and by none more heartily than by the people of Ubio. When in- dependence was declared Oh.o bad no existence. Over all that is now Ohio stretched one vast, unbroken wil- derness, Whi Vbio pow! A State with 3,000,000 ol mbabitants, @ greater population than that pos- sessed by all the colonies when they achieved their independence, But is i not for me; it is not for fellow _ citizens of Ohio, to dwoll on growth, the Progress and prosperity of Unio. A very instructive address on ail these topics was delivered some weeks ago by # distinguished citizen of our State, We are here, to-day, a8 citizens of Obio, upon the invitation of the Board of Centennial managers of our State, to complete the commemoration exercises on our part, contemplated in the original invitation of the national commission, It 1s enough for us to say that we rejoice that our homes are in Onio; itis enough for us to say that we are gratetul that our lines have fallen unto us in such pleasant places, and that we havo such a heritage as Ubio now is Obio bas been signally honored here by the selection of one of her citizens as the director general of this great enierprise. Weare giad to know that General Goshorn has so discharged the dutics of bis oftice that his name wiil be honorably remembered in connection with this Exhibition. We wish, as oitizens of Obio, to congrat especially the citizens of Phiiadelpbia and the people of Pennsylvania on the fortunate issue of this great enterprise. 1t 1s mainly their caterprise. ); burden devolved, and to them be- share of the glory ot ntennial Exhibition is now drawing to its close, 1t will not be forgotten, It will pase into history; it will live in the minds of our country men, linked with recollections of the fathers whose work it has so fitly commemorated. We hope that the influonce of this celebration will be to extend and perpetuate the principles of our revolutionary an- cestors, and to give increased assurance to all mankind tbat the new nation brought forth on this continent 100 years ago is destined, under Providence, long to remain tho home of freedom and the rviuge of the op- pressed. THE PURLIC RECKPTION, Alter a short rest the public reception began. Tho Governor took his station 1» @ roum on the lower floor, and the crowd was permitted to pass through, Yor nearly an hour a continuous stream of men and women passed in at one door and out at ano and as every individual one of them insisted on a vigorous shal of His Excellency’s hand, Governor “Hayes soon grew fatigued. He accordingly went up stairs to a balcony, whore he could be seen by the crowd witbout, and bowed and smiled from the balcony in response to the cheering of the multitude, explaining iv a lew words that he had been advised to continuo the reception in that manner. At about two o’clock the public reception closed and the Governor, with his wife and friends, visited several of the Exhibition buildings, ANOTHER SPEECH. At four o’clock Governor Hayes, accompanted by Mr. Goshorn and some of tho Executive staff, visited the Philadelphia municipal building, where Governor Hartrantt and Mayor Stokley were receiving the prod- uce men. The place was very crowded, and the Gov- ernot and his friends went tothe guarded doors and were unable to get in, not being recognized. They had turned away and wore leaving when Mayor Stokley came running afterthem and brought them back, having learned who his distinguished visitor was, * The Governor was received with enthusiasm after this littlo mistaxe. ‘Three cheers were given for band played “Hail am to respond. His Excellency’s care to honor done him entirely to his official p ernor of Ohio was as noticeable in this in his previous address, My triends, he said, I beg to tender to you my sin- cero fervent acknowledgments for the reception you have given me, as the Governor of Ohio, did ot expect to meet this assombly, but merely called to pay my respects, ‘bree cheers for Governor Haycs and for the State of Ohio were cailed for and given with a will. After this interruption the Governor thanked the company for the manner in which they had received the namo of the State of which he is the Executive. Concluding, the Governor made tho ONLY POLITICAL ALLUSION which he permitted himself to indulge in during the day. He was understood to say, ‘I trust, my friends, that whatever may be the result of our ephemeral political striie, we will all of us remember that we are all American citizens.” THR EVENING RECEPTION. A reception was tendered to Governor Hayes this evening by the members of.the Union League Club, where he was enthusiastically received by a large number of the members of the league, among tnem being Hon. Simon Cameron and many other prominent politicians of the State. A crowd aumbering several thousand persons assembled outside on Broad strest, and in response to their repeated calls tor Governor Hayes the Hon. A. E. Borie came out upon the balcony and announced that the Governor would be bappy to shake by the hand all in the Assembly, but as that would bea physical im- possibility His Excellency would speak a few words to m if such was their desire, This was grected with ppiause and repented calls for Hayes, The Governor accordingiy came forward and spol “My Frixxps—You all ag the representative of Oh: jal Exhibition, of wi eyo good to sew" (Appliause.) A collation was served, at which the Governor's health was drank, but no toasts were given nor ro- sponses made. THE PRESS CLUB RECEPTION.
