ESCAPE AND SUPPOSED Drowning OF a
PRrsoNER.-Some three weeks ago q burglar
named. William Gadbois broke jail in Scott
county and escaped. Sheriff Cressey at once
took measureswhich were successful in arrest
ing him few days ago-in, wisconsin. In
company With his prisoner he took passage at
La Crosse on board the Northern Belle 81, her
last trip up. Whom abont five miles this side
of Hastings, about o'clock on Saturday night
the prisoner begged to have his hand cuffs
loosened to allow him to take off his coat. As
the weather was intensely hot the request
seemed reasonable, and his arms were set loose.
which was no sooner done than the prisoner
made spring to the side of the boat and Jump
ed overheard. The boat was stopped and
search made, but no trace Of the missing man
could be found. It is the opinion Of the off,
GERS of the boat that he must have been struck
by the wheel of the boat and killed.
1t is due to Sheriff Cressey to state that no
blame for the prisoners escape ican attach to
him, for it was one of those cases likely to
happen to the most vigilant Of officers, and we
earn that is the reputation Sherif Cressey
bears. He naturally regrets the escape of the
prisoner while in his charge and should he by
'ccident turn up alive will pay q handsome,
eward for his arrest o'a."1" ga iN'

GRAVE INTERNATIONAL CUES
TON.
Demand upon England for Damages
Committed by Rebel Cruisers...An
Interesting and Important Ques-
ton. W

New YORK, June 1.-The World announces
that the Memorial Diplomatique, of May II,
makes public the important fact that the gov
eminent of President johnson has instructed
the American minister at London to require of
the English government prompt decision as
caused to federal citizens by cruisers such as the
Alabama, and other vessels constructed and
equipped in English ports since the beginning
of the war. The Memorial adds: "This de-
mand has been several times made by the Uni
ted States, but It's justice has never been con-
coded by the British government, which has
rested its refusal upon opinions given by the
nevertheless, persisted in the demand, renew
ing it o short time before his death, and Mr..
johnson, far from abandoning the demand, has
revived 1t, asserting it with more vigor and
energy than ever" In other opinions of the
Memorial, this question: which up to the pres
ent time had not seemed to be serious and press-
ing, threatens perhaps q conflict between the
two nations, the English cabinet having
before 1t accounts amounting to many
millions sterling, and it seeming to be certain
that the federal government will not modify its
demands" At the point which matters have
actually reached, the Memorial thinks the Eng.
lish Government will hardly persist In mega.
tive which would be followed by the gravest
consequences, but will make this new sacrifice
to peace, after having made 80 many heroic
sacrifices tor the same end, during the past few
years.
The Madrid Epoea of May 18th, mentions .
precedent to sustain the claim of the United
States, and says: ave are of the opinion
with the Memorial Diplomatique, because,
apart from the justice of the American de-
mands they are enforced by powerful State,
and the Cabinet of st. James will always be
found disposed TO make heroic sacrifices in any
conflict OF equal strength, reserving oil the ter
rors ofts traditional pride for difficulties with
nations of inferior strength"
