The insurgents succeeded in capturing a quantity of goods and money, which they carried off; one of the men garrisoning the place was wounded. On the 13th inst. the Spanish guerillas discovered a band of insurgents under Juninze, and pursued it to Ignore. Here thereb- els made a stand, and the Spaniards attacked them, but under unfavora- ble circumstances, receiving a gall- ing fire from the mob, by which they suffered severely. Afterwards the insurgents were heavily r forced and;they cherged on Spamards. The guerillas gallantly defended themselves, but were compelled fi- nally to withdraw. They succeed- ed in carrying off their wounded. The killed were left on the field. The killed included one captain and lieutenants.

The ques- tion passed upon by Judge Ham- mond was to the efiect of the gen- eral statutes of Ilinols, 1863, which forbids any railroad company of that state to accept a lease of any rail- road cut of the state without having first obtaired the written consent of all the stockholders resudent of the state of Illinois.

WASHINGTON, August 20. cretary of State in g pon- versation with a reporter, entirely “Secretary Bristow intends to give the law repealing the moiety system the fairest possible trial. Itisappa- rent, however, to the treasary of- ficlals that since thesystem has been abolished there is no incentive to ferret out violaticns of the custom and internal revenue laws, and but few cases of this character have re- cently come to light. When con- gress” assembles suflicient time will have elapsed since this new Iaw went into operation to show Is effect on the revenues of the government Secretary Bristow will be able to give Congress a full statement of its workings. He will also have something o say on the propriety of continuing the lgw iu jorce. It is too much to say now, without giv- ing the statement an official en- dorsement, however, that the knowledge and experience of the | treasury department show that the interests of the government lay in the restoration of the system of mo- tives toinformers,underwell guarded A \ ite_in the pools, it | discredited the published statements relating to the proposed cession of the Island of Porto Rico to the Ger- pire Ir. Fish considers the story in- | redible. He regards Admiral Palo as a skillful diplomat, and a loyal officer to his Government, and does not think thathe would, under any ¢ recumstances, have sent to the home Government, the letter attri- buted to’ him in’ the published state- mert referred to. Mr. Fish consid- ers that the report s de- signed to be in some way, of service to the Carlist cause, probal N by secking to create 1li- feeling between the German Gov- ernmsnt and the United States. It can be positively stated that our | government hasno Xuowiedge of this proposed bargain. M. Fish states that {n case the rumor proves true, the policy of the United States Government would not be doubtful. What that policy is, is very clearly defined in President Gzrant’s aunual message to Congress in 1869, in which he says the United States have no disposition to interfers with spain and her colonial possessions on this continent. They believe that in due time Spain and other European powers will find itto their interest in terminating these rela- tions and establishing their present dependencles as independent pow- ers—members of the family of na- tions. From late advices received at the state dcpartment relative to the Japanese expedition to Formosa, it appears that China has protested to the American minister at Pekin against the act of two American of- ficers—Gen_ Lequendue, of the con- sular service, and Lieut. Douglas Cassel, of the navy--from joining s expedition. China claims that u in violation of the law of na- tions. They also claim that if eivil- ized nations are to be accorded the right of ex-territoriality, they must in turn maintain neutrality law. While our gavernment considers the action of the two officers named as very unwise and unfortunate, it is not admitted that they have act- ed in_violation of the nelltrslitf laws. In proofof this last point vari- ous cases are cited, where during the Jats war, officers of foreign gov- ernments obtained leave of absence and accented commissjons on ejther side of the pontest, and neither of the European powers or the United States government remonstrated; while there Is no officlal sutnori that this government wil treat with China on voint. It is telieved that such 3 the fact as stated. It will, however, use its best efforts to prevent any difficulty with China, and to protect our valuable commercial interests with that country from being dis- turbed. There is strong belief, amount- ing to almost a conviction here, that the difficulty between China and Japan can hardly be avoided. =The State Department has been advised by the U. S. Consul General in Havana, that the sentence of death passed upon F. 0. Dockery, has been commuted 1o ten yearsim- prisonment in the Spanish penal colony. In view of all the circum- stances of the case, it is considered that this punishment is a mild one. Henry A. Bowen, of Brooklyn, arrived to-day for the purpose of in- ducing the heads of the bureau in the navy department to engage an additional force at the Brooklyn navy yard. He states that there are a large number of competent mechanics and men of familes who are in needy circumstances, and un- less they are provided with work at once their families will suffer. These men were formetly employed in the Brooklyn navy yard, but on account it « q t t v 1 1 of want of funds the force was re- duced, Thus far this {s the hottest day of i naarrived at Bahai Brayett, July 11, baving sailed from June 7th. rived gt Rio ou th would, 85" sooh ‘a% the court of in- should ke completed, return.
