(BY caBLE TO THE HERALD.] * Loxpox, Nov. 17, 1878. ‘The Vienna Political Correspondence says the Macedo- nian insurrection is daily increasing in dimensions and spreading toward Epirus and Thessaly. The in- surgents are divided into four bedics, variously lo- cated. One is scattered on the slopes of Mount Olympus and consists chiefly of Greeks; the others are Bulgarians. For many political tendency is a mere pretext for robbery end plunder. The Porte has sent twenty-three battalions of regulars, with five bat- teries, to subdue the insurrection. RUSSIA, TURKEY AND GREECE. Prince Doudoukoft-Korsakof, after conferring with Prince Lobunoff at Constantinople, will proceed to Livadia, to which place he hus been summoned by the Czar. The Porte has atipotsitea's ® commission, under the presidency of Caratheodori Pacha, to apply the pro- framme of reforms in Eastern Roumelia. It is said that the projected loan will be for 15,000,000 pounds Turkish und that the guarantee will comprise the surplus of the Cyprus revenue. Safvet Pacha, after a long interview with the Sul- tan, attended # council of Ministers at Constanti- nople yesterday, and urged the necessity of coming toan amicable arrangement with Greece before for- eign mediation: intervenes, The Grand Vizier con- tended thatthe delimitation recommended by the Congress was materially impracticable.» He stated that the Porte would give territorial equivalent in the direction of Volo. The Council, however, advised an arrangement conformably to the proposals of the Congress without specifying the line of the frontier, No doubt the Sultan will ratify the decision of the Council.

WEERLY PRACTICE CRUISE ON THE UNITED STATES SLOOP DALE-—MIDDIES AT WORK. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] ANNAPOLIS, Md., Nov. 16, 1878, ‘Through the courtesy of Commander F. V. McNair, commandant of midshipmen at the Naval Acade and’'Commander E. M: Shepard, comnitinder of the Dale, instruction .xhip, Naval Academy, the Heraup correspondent made the cruise to-day with the United States sloop Dale on’ her weekly practice trip with the cadet midshipmeén. ‘The steamer Fortune, Mate M, G. Perry commanding, tonveyed the officers and cadets front thie Neval ‘Avatiemy wharf to the Dale; lying in the Severn. As soon as the ship was reached the cadets quickly passed to- her decks, and to the lively notes of the boatswain'’s whistle took their places at their stations. . At the wheel was First Clasg- man Speering, and in charge of all the important sta- tions these dignitgrica of ‘the academy wero assigned to duty. Lieutenant C, J. Train mounted the horse- block, and, giving the usual orders, the midshipmen clambered up the rigging and pulled away at the ropes in the most animated manner. In a brief space the Dale, with her jib and spanker .set, was forging out of the harbor in tow of the Fortune. The lowest class acted as landsmen, while the upper class- men were grated acco ig to date in the work of bargin Diy ordinary seamen, petty officers and Vicia of the “OYE WITH YOUR OVERCOAT." One of the cadets kept on ‘his’ overcoat to protect him from the chill northeaster that was blowing. The order came, from Lieutenant Train, ‘Take off that overcoat in the maintop!” and the overcoat came off; but thix was exceptional, for the cadets worked cae with a will that required little urging, though a petty anne: could now and then be seen rushing is squad, inquiring, solfo voce, in language rer ol ep tie, why such and such had not been done. t and royal yards had been cro me out of the harbor. MIDDIES. HARD AT, WORK. ‘When the bay was reached, and as the Fortune cast off, the order came to make sail. The nimble ‘“mid- dies” in afew minutes had every piece of canvass set from the royals to the courses, As the Dale came out word that the United States ship Saratoga had just crossed the mouth of the harbor on her way to Baltimore, haying been signalled from the Naval Academy, and lively race was anticipated to give vim to the cruise up the bay; but when the Dale got out the Saratoga was found to be too far to the wind- ward to give a trial of speed. The midshipmen were then exercised in the man@uvres of tucking, wearing and box hauling the ship and reefin, and unreeting wails, During the exercises the cades would be in every part of the rigging, performing their difficult and dangerous work with spirit, promptness and sea- manlike skill. “A MAN OVERBOARD!" Presently the cry of “Man overboard!" was raised. ‘The quiet deck was transformed into a lively scene of animation, a buoy was cast off, the ship wore, the lifeboat was lowered, manned and pulled to the buoy, a tho l on which the imaginary man ' was supposed. to have taken refuge. As the ship wore round @ ‘ae eu Way was executed, by which the moved round in her own wake and Miritted lown to the man overboard, ‘The lifeboat picked up ‘the buoy Cy yulled to the the davits. ship and was once more haule After several stretches back ad forth across the bay the Fortune was made fast to the Dale, sail was taken in, and we steamed to Annapolis. At this moment the cross of St, George flying in the Virgo crossed the bow of the Dale, and the Englishmen watched with interest the manwuvres under the Stars and Stripes. REPROVING THE DELINQUENTS. Lieutenant L. C. Logan had charge of the forecastle and Lieutenant U. J. Train acted aa executive, and upon the ood devolved the amusing task of repri- manding the delinquent midshipmen. These were hauled 4 up publicly before the crew and severely cen- sured as they were successively caught in skylark- ing or skulking on the sly. The austere face of the lieutenant would be hurriedly turned away from the blushi culprits before it would relax into its usual good humor, The cruise began at eight a M., and at one P. M, the cadets were safely lan: the Naval Academy. Assistant Surgeon ‘Charles it Harman had accompanied the expedition, but his medical services were not needed.

TRIAL OF AN IMPORTANT SEIZURE CASE. BaLinvo: d., Noy. 16, 1878. In the United States District Court yesterday Judge Giles, sitting in the case of the United States against 712 bags of Demerara sugar, part of the cargo of the \brig Mississippi, seized for forfeit: ure, the government closed its rebutting evidence. The jury was disch: until this morn- ing to hear counsel on propositions in regard to the instructions to the jury, The trial of this case is to test the question whether Demerara sugars imported into'the United States are, by the use of chemicals or other foreign substance, made of a dark color to defraud the government in the payment of duties, ‘The cargo of the Mississippi, belonging to William H. Perot & Co., sugar importers in this city, was reg- uiarly entered at the Custom House in November, 1877, duly passed by the United States appraisers, be- ing rated partly under No. 7, Dutch standard, liable to a duty of one and three-quarters cents per pound, and partly above No. 7, not above No. 10, Dateh stan- dard, liable to a duty Of two cente per pound. ‘The special agent of the Treasury Department, Mr. Chamberlain, claimed that 712 bags rated under No, 7 had been artificially colored with intent to evade the payment of dutics properly chargeable on the same. Under instructions from the Treasury Department the 712 bags were seized for forfeiture. About the sume time the cargoes of the barks Manitou and Henry Parker, imported by other parties, were seized at this port under similar charges, aud three cargoes in New York, also imported by other parties. Previous to the seizures, the question of the coloring of Demerara suyars had been a subject of discussion between the ‘Yecasury Department and the importers, during which the latter proposed to the Secretary of the ‘Treasury to send proper persons to Demerara to ex- aniine into the manufacture and report the result of their examination and investigation, ‘Arter the seizure both parties made preparation for the trial. A commission to take testimony in Deme- rare was issued from the United States District Court, and subsequently a similar commission to take mony in Louisiana was issued. After the lapse of nearly one year the case was ready for trial and commenced October 9, before a jary, Archibald Ste erling, United States District Attorney, assisted by John Carson, aj pearing for the government, and 8. Teackle Wallis and John H. Thomas for Perot & Co. When the trial had progressed over two weeks one of the jury, owing to illness, was withdrawn, aud the case proceeded with eleven jurors. During the long trial forty-two witnesses have been sworn and examined; twen' the government and twenty-two for the defence, and @ yoluminous amount of testimony read, taken by the Commissioners to Demerara and Louisiana, ‘The whole field of sugar manufacture, from the — planting and raising of the cane, through the different processes till com- pleted in the centritugal machine was described in detail by plrnters and sngar cane growers, and illus- trated by models and drawings; and the chemical questions were exhaustively stated by scientitic experts, among whom were Dr. Moore, of Jersey City; Dr. Geath and Professor Sadler, of the Pennaylyania University; Professor Johnson, of Connesticut, and Professor Collyer, of Washington, for the government; and Dr. Mallet, professor of chemistry in the University of Virginia; Professor Morton, of the Stevens Institute, Hoboken; Dr. Fahl- berg, of the John’s Hopkins University; Profes- sor R. 8. MeCullogh, of the University of Louisiana; ‘Mr, Douglas Williams, solicitor of patents for the defence, The testimony of the actual manufacturers of the seized sugar, Messrs. John R. Daly and W. 0. Agard, was taken in Demerara under the commission and submitted as a part of the defence to the effect that no artificial coloring whatever had been em- ployedin their manufacture, and that the process was the usual one for the production of such sugars. QUESTIONS FOR THE JURY. ‘To-day the Court has been engaged in hearing argu- ment as to instructions ‘to be given to the jury, and after’ w full discussion we counsel on each side the Court said there are two issues that the jury will be required to pass upon. Pirst—Were these ‘sugars artificially colored a dark brown color—some foreign. matter applied to them after their crystalization and for the purpose of their being iMroduced into the United States at a lower rate es pay than they otherwise would be required to-pay eend—Did the claimants know this fact and did they introduce them into this port with the fraudu- lent intent of importing them at a lower rate of duty than they should otherwise have paid? These ques- tions the jury will decide. The Court then adjourned yan Monday, when argument before the jury will oe Giles said counsel would be given two hours each for Bibi and he hoped the caxe would be ended by Tuesday afternoon. FLORIDA FRAUDS. A WRIT OF MANDAMUS ISSUED AGAINST THE ALACHUA BOARD OF CANVASSERS~——MR. BISBEE'S CLAIMS. TALLAHASSEE, Nov. 16, 1878, ‘The Supreme Court met here to-day, in response to a petition numerously signed by citizens, to act on @ petition for the issuance of & writ of mandamus compelling the Canvassing Board of Alachua county to make a canvass of all the returns of the county, three - precincts having been thrown out. Notices’ were served on the members thereof on the 4th inst., but they failed to make their appearance or any answer to the Court. Judge Baker, of Jacksonville, appeared for the Board, but he had’ had no consultation with his client and wanted time. The Court adjourned from eleven A. M, to half-past three P. M. to-day. In the after- noon session the matter was argued and the Court granted an alternative writ of man- damus against the Canvassing Board of Alachua county, returnable on Wednesday outing, the 20th inst. Mr. Bisbee then eave notice that on Monday he should ask for a writ of mandamus against the in- stora at precinct No. 4 in Madixon county to co: vel them to.make a return of the election at that pr inct. Mr. Bisbee claims that he has about 200 ma- Sous without this latter precinct if the votes are counted in Alachua county. SPECIE SHIPMENTS.

MILES FROM SHORE, | SIXTY Rescued and Taken to Norway Sick and. Exhausted. _——— [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] Wasnixaron, Noy. 16, 1878, This morning a young man, dressed in sailor shirt and trousers, entered tho office of Commodore Febiger, the commandant at the Washington Navy Yard, and reported himself as William Buder, a survivor of the the United States corvette Huron, wrecked nearly a year ago on the Carolina coast, north of Cape Hatteras. The an- nouncement created, as it might well do, a general sensation. The vessel was lost, it will be remembered, onthe 4th of November, 1877, and all of her luckless | who had not been heard from within the ensuing few wecks, were recorded among the missing, crew of crew, never to be heard from again until the sea should give up its dead at the last day. But here was one of | this long roll who had reappeared after nearly a year's supposed sepulture in the depths of. the ocean, and came to report for duty, as calmly as if he had returned from a three days “liberty.” At first there was a disposition to regard the mun as an impostor ora lunatic. In the first character he would be a claimant for a year’s ‘pay and the survivor's money end the pecuniary gift made by Congress. This survivor's money and gift would in his case amount to about $140. ‘The im- pression that he might be a lunatic was created by his dull not to say stupidity, But there was too much method his madness, too much ingenuity in the tale he told to leave this unfavorable impression long in the minds mentality, in of the officers, who subjected him to a rigorous ques- tioning, and they eventually consigned him to quar- ters on the receiving ship until they should look up his record at the Navy Department, where an official | report of his arrival was duly made to-day by Com- modore Febiger. A VERY STUPID SEASIAN. Whether he was originally of low order of intel- lect or became enfeebled ‘mentally by the suffering ho underwent as a castaway, Buder wes anything but bright in his answers to the interrogatories put to him by the curious crowd of naval officials who sur- rounded him at the Navy Yard, and it was only by dint. of persevering effort and repeated and emphatic questions that he was got to enlarge upon his first simple assertion that he was one of the crew of the ill-fated man-of-war. What he did tell, how- ever, was imparted as freely as his lethargic wits | from an inspection of the muster roll, and the man’s | States Navy, are at the Astor. would allow, and with apparently the best of faith. For this reason his examiners are satise fied that he is no. impostor, especially as the sailor clothes he had on -: were of the United States, regulation make and bore evi- dence of being as worn and old as they would be under the circumstances, It will not be until Monday, how- ever, that the Recruiting Bureau of the Navy Depart ment can be opened and the records searched to prove his identity. An effort was made meantime to find some survivor of the Huron who might port to assist in this work of identification, but not one was to be found. All the gallant fellows who had escaped a watery grave with the Huron‘had been told off to other men-of-war, and were scattered over the sea, BUDER'S REMARKABLE STORY. The story told by Buder is substantially as fol-- be in lows:—*'My name is William Buder, and I am a Nor- wegian by birth, and twenty-three years of age. I enlisted in the navy 8 a Jandsman at Philadelphia on the 28th of August, 1877, and was sent on board the receiving ship St. Louis, Soon after I was transferred to the receiving ship Colorado at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, New York, aud remained there about four months, Just before the Huron sailed from New York on her way to Norfolk, en route for Havana, I was transferred on board of her.” Here he was asked the name of the captain of Iris gun, but he ssid he could only recollect that he was called Pete. He didn’t know his other name, nor did he know, nor could he recollect, any other of the officers’ names, except those of Lieutenant Simons and Ensign Young. He continued:—“I was in the first gun division and belonged to the foretop, but do not remember the name of the officer of the division. I was at the wheel when the ship struck. I was sent there at twelve o'clock to relieve the man ahead of me. With the accident everything became confused to my mind. I can't recollect distinctly, but some time during the night I remember finding the balsa blown up somwhere forward, with @ line attached to it. Probably it hhd been made ready by Mr. Young, or for him, as he afterward at- tempted to carry the line ashore with it. At the time I reached it it was guarded by Antonio Williams, aa- man, @ Spaniard, who was afterward saved. I tricd to cut the line and throw the balsa overboard, but was driven away by Williams. I afterward saw Mr. Young overboard with the balsa. I can’t say how long after the veseel struck all this took ah. I believed I was the last man on board.” LASHED £0 A SPAR FOR TWENTY-FOUR HOURS, Here he was again cross-examined sharply, as the last of the crew hung to the ship until after daylight, and he admitted that possibly it was only fifteen min- utes after the ship struck, In this instance, as in general, he was anything but exact as to time and de- tails, Allowed to resume, ho went on:— “While it was still dark I suw a spar, probably the mizzentopmast, fall overboard, Iwas in the main rigging at this moment, and jumped overboard after the spar. I succeeded in reaching it, and lashed myself to it with my handkerchief, An ordinary sea man by the name of Jesse Roll, a Spaniard, clung to the spar with me. We drifted out to sea with the spar which easily supported both of us, and the sea had gone down enough to make it smooth enough for us both to hang on, But Roll became exhausted and ket co and was lost At the end of twenty-tour hours. b as clearly as T can remember, I was picked up| GREY'S AMERICAN CAPSULES.—BEST CHEAP grade of Anwricau Capsules.
