NEw YoRL, June 20 The report that the work
on the U. S. r. R., would have to be stopped un-
less more protection was afforded is contradicted
by officers of the road.
The growing insubordination of the military
ehieftain to the control of the government causes
uneasiness here

rendering the roads around San Luis Potosi very

WASHINGTON, June 20-Surratt case resumed
The counsel for defense submitted a motion ask
ing the recall of several witnesses for cross exam
inaton. Counsel for prosecution made no objec-
tion to recalling them, as probably they had gone
| home Judge Fisher said he knew of no rule
| that allowed witnesses to be recalled.
The n. y. Times special says:
There is very little doubt but that the Presi-
dent will soon issue order restraining the mil
itary commanders in the south from all action
declared to be Illegal by Stanberry's opinion, al
though it is known that Secretary Stanton had
advised against the course. He argues that the
issue of the order will be waste of paper for ad-
| mitting that congress will meet in July, it is
certain that the military act will be Thoroughly
| revised. 1t does not follow that the military
commanders will be instructed to reinstate officers
moved by them, but it is probable that Gen. Sick
les viii be ordered to revoke his order regulating
and prescribing rules in the courts of the Caroli-
mas.
New YORK, June 20.-The \. Y. Her
AIDS San Suis special says:
Maximillian's trial was to have been re-
snmed tomorrow, but his counsel not having
arrived from the capital, the case will again
be postponed. The probability grows great
er that the trial will be postponed on one
pretext to another till after the arrival of the
American minister, meanwhile to allay the
popular excitement and satisfy the army,
which has grown clamorous for Maximillian's
blood. Every device is resorted to in order
to bring the fallen emperor into contempt.
