! The SPACIOUS YARD in the rear of the
Athenaeum is being enclosed within high
fence. The prisoners will be allowed the
privileges of this enclosure several hours
each day. Yesterday number of the
prisoners were employed on the work. OF
course they were not compelled to do this
service, but did it in order to have little
exercise and hasten the completion of the
work. The upper stories of the Athenaeum
are also being fixed up, and will hereafter
be occupied as prison.

The statement that our Government has
demanded that Spain shall relinquish mar
thine jurisdiction three miles from the Gu
ban coast is ridiculous blunder. The
facts are that the Spanish fleet demanded
the extension of the distance which inter-
national law has fixed for maritime juris
diction, namely three miles; that Govern
ment asked for jurisdiction over five miles
instead. 1t is not to be supposed that Mr.
Seward gave way before any such illegal

From japan.

New YORK, Oct. 2.-The Tribune pub
fishes special correspondence from Japan
giving detailed and interesting account o.
the recent hostilities committed by Dai
mos, or some independent princes Of Japan
upon Dutch and French vessels.
1t is generally known to most if not all
that the Japanese Daimos have shown
themselves extremely hostile to foreigners
The Government of the Tycoon, whatever
may have been its real sentiments, has fol
some time been wavering between main
tanning friendly relations with foreigners
and yielding to the pressure brought upon
it by Daimos. The latter found it convent.
ent to give new vitality to the long unrec-
ognzed supremacy of the Mikadt, the spir'
itual ruler, through whom proclamation
went forth that all foreigners should be ex-
PEELED.
The Council of State of the Tycoon
found it necessary to conform to this proc.
lamation, and three hours after paying
$4,000 pounds for the murder of English
men, Richardson issued formal notice to
the representatives of the treaty power that
foreigners must leave Japan, and all the
ports be closed.
Upon being demonstrated with, they pro.
fessed to act under compulsion, and some
time later they even appealed for foreign
aid.
The Daimos in the meanwhile had re-
paired to their principalities to put the sea
coast in state of defence, and their retain
ers in fighting order
The attack on the American ship Penn
broke was at once disowncd by the Yeddo
government, who stated that the attacking
vessels belonged to the Prince Of the Nag
aloa principally in the south western COR
ner of Nilsson.
English and Dutch merchant vessels have
also been attacked by the same prince.
All these hostilites proceeded from the
Prince of Nagaloa, in a port of one of the
largest Of the Japanese islands, Nippon.
The principality of Solumnis, whose
prince, according to accounts published by
us yesterday, repulsed SO successfully an
attack of the English feet, lies in the south
ern part ofKensin.
1t appears from accounts of our CORES
pendent that combined attack of the Dali
mos against the foreigners is expected.
The Herald's special from Washington
says there is no foundation what ever, for the
rumors said to be in circulation in New
York, that there has been any interruption
in the line of communication between the
army CT Rosecrans and its base of supplies.
Theslatest information from that quarter,
indicates that matters are progressing as ia
vorably as can be expected, ard no appre-
hension of disaster Of any kind is enter
tanned.
DR.. Vallum, Medical Inspector Of the De.
partment of Washington, has been ordered
to report to General Rosecrans, as Medical
Director of the Department of the Cumber-
land.

DANGERoUs--Scarcely train on any of
the railroads comes into our city that the
platforms Of each car are not filled with
boys who Jump aboard while the cars are
passing through the outskirts of the city.
The conductors on abe different roads are
greatly annoyed by this movement on the
part Of the youngsters, as they are fearful
of serious results. The young lad who was
killed at the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad a
few evenings since. was cautioned several
times to keep off the train, but neglected to
heed the warning. The wonder is that
there are not more of these reckless BOYS
killed, and until this dangerous practice is
abandoned, the boys alone are to blame.
