WASHINGTON, May II.
The Internal Revenue Bureau, acting un-
der the general law, requires all citizens at
the South to render their incomes and re-
turns for the year 1884 as well as for 1865.
Some of the rebel officers residing in Alex
andria, Va, are startled by the calls of asses
sOrs upon them to furnish the required state
ments, and are surprised that rations received
by them in Confederate armies, are estimated
at forty cents each. One of them expressed
his readiness to pay his tax in Confederate
money, but this OF course was declined.
The Senate to-day confirmed the nomina-
ton of Gen. Sickles as minister resident at
Hague. -
A register of medical examinations of re-
cruits for the army, will hereafter be kept by
surgeons at each recruiting station or depot.
James Webb, the authorized agent of State
Treasury and Auditor of Louisiana, has ar
rived here for the purpose of receiving bonds
belonging to New Orleans banks, which had
been deposited by them with the late auditor,
and were subsequently, captured at Shreve
port by Gen. Sheridan. 1t will be recollected,
that in accordance with recent decision of
the Attorney General, the Secretary of the
Treasury ordered that these bonds when prop
erly identified should be delivered to the State
Auditor or parties owning them, or duly au-
thorized agents, according to his arrangement.
Those which have been recognized as being
a part of the bonds in question, are now
about to be restored to their owners.
J. r. Browne has just arrived from Orizona,
having explored that territory throughout.
He say it is highly improbable and scarcely
possible, that Col. Bennett, who was in COM
maid Of Fort Goodwin, permitted himself to
be surprised by large body OF Indians and
the garrison butchered. So far from there be-
ing 1900 savages engagedin the wholesale mas
sacre, he says there are not more than seven
or eight hundred fighting Apaches in the en-
tire territory, which in no part is capable of
subsisting SO large a number; and especially
after the severe winter. At all events the re-
port is greatly exaggerated.
Lit. Gen. Grant has instructed the Military
Department commanders to abolish the Mil

NEW YORK, May IL.
O'Mahoney resigned his position as Head
Centre of the Fenians this morning, which
was accepted by Chief Executive Stephens
Mr.. Klllian has also been removed as Treas
urer.
A large number of Irlshmen called upon
Stephens to-day, to whom he invaribly said,
he had come out here to effect a reconcilia-
ton between contending factions. He also
stated that he had been induced to accept
O'Mahoney's resignation with this view. He
had approved of the choice of O'Mahoney as
Head Centre, because he was opposed to the
invasion of Canada. A measure, which he
was sorry to say, had met with the sanction
of the Senate here. He also characterized
the raid in Campobello, as a suicidal move
ment. E19IJ .ls-flI y 1Es st
The last official act of Head Centre O'Ma-
honey was to remove Killian the Treasurer,
which act Stephens approved.

The Commander of the Spanish squadron
at Valparaiso has forwarded to the Spanish
minister at Washington, bis official account
of the bombardment and of the negotiations
which proceeded it. In one important partic-
ular there is a marked discrepancy between
this dispatch and that of Commodore Rodgers
The latter contains the following statement:
"Upon my arrival in this port with the
squadron under my command, I called upon
the English Admiral, who had informed me
that he intended to prevent any sudden bonn
bardment, and would only suffer it after am
pie notice. 10 this made no reply, but hav-
ing considered the matter, sought the occa-
sion the next day to send word that I would
join him in preventing any sudden lombard
ment, and that l would also go as much fur
ther as he chose. s H e.5E
II assured him that the Monadnock could
take care of the Numancia; that from target
experiments had witnessed, was absolute
ly certain that in not less than thirty seconds,
and not more than thirty minutes, the Mon
adnock herself, entirely unassisted, would
leave cnly the mastheads Of the Numancla
above water, and that our wooden vessels,
English and American, could look out for the
wooden vessels of the Spaniards." 4
Nothing in the dispatch indicates that Gem
modore Rodgers changed his opinion on his
position but Admiral Nunez asserts that he
did so. He says: .s.a .rsls
: "On the same day, the 29th, was once
more visited by the American Commodore, ac-
companied by the Secretary Of Legation, with
the apparent purpose Of handing the reply to
my communication. On doing so, he said that
he had intended to oppose the bombardment
OF valparaiso by force, because he was at the
time convinced that Spain could not lawfully
90 SO, and that Chill was in the right; but that
subsequently he had arrived at the conclusion
that right, moderation and dignity svere on
the side Of Spain; wherefore, he not only
should not oppose anything. but that his ships
would move out of the way at s O'Clock on the
morning of the 3lst". ol
The country will expect from Commodore
Rodgers an explanation relative to this serious
discrepancy. iass lg tat So

Jefferson Davis Indicted for
Treason.
His Trial to take place in June.

BALTIMORE, May II.
Yesterday, Jefferson Davis was indicted for
treason by the Grand Jury of the U. S. Dis
trict Court now in session at Norfolk, and the
trial of the prisoner is supposed will take
place in June.
DR. Bigelow of Alexandria, one of the men,
bsrs of the Grand Jury, who reached Balti-
more this morning, says the statement that
Gillingham, the foreman of the Grand Jury,
had declined serving as a member after the
hearing of the opening charge Of Judge Un-
derwood, is incorrect. MIR. Gillingham had
never served on the jury before, and simply
requested to be excused from acting as fore
man, stating as his reason that he was afraid
he was incompetent to fill the position. He
made no objection whatever to serve as
member of the jury.
NORFOLK, Va, May II.
Late yesterday afternoon, the Grand Jury
of the U. S. Circuit Court, in session in this
city, brought in a true bill against jeff Davis
for treason. The Court then adjourned until
the first Tuesday in June to meet in Rich
mond.
Judge Underwood went North last night.
He has copy of the bill of Indictment against
JEFF. Davis.
