New Internal Revenue Regulations.
WASHINGTON, May 7.-Regulations are being pre-
parek by Solicitor Smith, of the Internal Revenue
Bureau, fixing the kind and amount Of proof required
from railroad companies, corporations, and indivi-
duas who have been taxed as non-resident aliens,
under provision of the internal revenue act which
was repealed March TO- 1861, and who now apply to
have the amount of tax which was withheld while
the act remained in force refunded
The nature OF proof required will be the affdavit
of the claimant, attested by an additional adavit
from some other responsible party and the certificate
OF the consular agent nearest the post to which the
claimant belongs, that he is a nonresident alien.
Attorney-General Hoar returned to Washington

The Situation-A Republic not Improbable.
Late correspondence from Madrid contains the
following
Whether Napoleon has or has not made the
remarks attributed to him matters but little
The fact remains that it is impossible the coun-
try can remain much longer in its present state

last night at caucus held to consider a proposi-
ton OF Senor Baleaguer to pass law excluding
from the throne the whole brood of the Bour-
bons, direct or indirect legitimate or bastard
The meeting was held with closed DOORS but
the following l understand to be pretty nearly
what occurred at it. Senior Baleaguer supported
his proposition in a long speech, and was op-
posed by that ever-active intriguer Senior Olo-
zaga. The latter said that If the resolution were
carried in its integrity it would greatly increase
II 1t did not render insurmountable the difficulty
of finding a monarch at all. This observation
squinted at Montpensier, and 1t raised storm.
Immediately Senor Baeaguer withdrew his
proposition, but the Minister of Fomento 20
rilla) said that others (himself included) had
signed it, and he insisted on it's being discussed
General Trim was challenged to say what other
candidate the Government meant to propose,
but he refused to answer. General Serrano made
the emphatic declaration that only one of two
alternatives was left them-either the Due de
Montpensier or the Republic.
This frank acknowledgment led to scene of
great excitement and recrimination, and, though
the meeting did notseparate until daylight forced
its way through the shutters the deputies sepa-
rated without coming to any conclusion and as
one of them subsequently stated to me- "more
divided than ever" The result of this meeting,
and the repeated conferences which Prim is said
to be holding with Castelar, Garrido, and other
leading men of the opposition would go to show
that the republic is not such an improbability as
the Minister of War declared it to be some
months back.

GENERAL THOMAS JORDAN.
rhe Commnndcr of the Cubau Expedition

General Thomas Jordan, who has gone out in COM
mand of the expedition to Cuba from New York, is
an old West Pointer, and one OF the most accom-
piished officers OF the late Confederate army. He
served as chief of sta to General Beauregard during
the first three years of the war, and with him at
Charle ston and Vicksburg, and in Virginia.
During the Shiloh campaign, General Jordan
fedprate President was hostile to General Beaure-
gard and he resented an alleged slight to his chief
then and after the close OF the war. When the
Confederacy fell Jordan, like many OF his brother
odicprs came North His fortunes were entirely
hoken by the contest, and he sought To obtain a
livelihood in New York by here writing for the press
His old grudge against Davis took form in
an article in Hdgper's Magazine, which at
tTacted considerable notice at the time.
General Jordan also wrote upon military, agrcul-
mral. and political subjects both for the magazines
living in New Jersey near New York, until the begin
ming of the Cuban outbreak. Since then, his pre-
senee at various places ON the coast, and partcu-
iarIy mt Charleston and New Orleans, has been
noticed and always in connection with some
rnnored movement In favor Of the Cuban cause
General Jordan is Il man OF medium height, spare
in form and with q quick, nervous manner. He has
an intplIectual head and features, and fine eyes,
and when of duty Is exceedingly courteous in de-
meanor During his military days in the South,
thcngh he was often accused OF brusqueness and
bd re renntation in the army of being q martinez,
That he is thorough soldier by instinct aud educa-
tinn cannot be questioned lie saw and participated
in some of the hardest lighting OF the late war; and
aside from his own merit, had the advantage OF

Metropolitan Police in the s'Hub"-The Great

BosToN, May "A final hearing before the
Legislative Committee on the subject of the
Metropolitan police took place last evening,

stances connected with the Lord bond robbery.
Mr.. Young says:-Mr. Lord gave me written
power of attorney, as also did Mr.. Barron.
conferred with and acted under the advice of A.
Oakley Hall, then District Attorney, and now
Mayor of New York. We both concluded that
there was no reasonable chance of convicting
any one of the crime, and Mr.. Hall was fully
satisfied to have me direct my attention chiefly
to the recovery of the property. Although seve-
raj parties were arrested and indicted in New
York. yet no evidence could be procured sufi-
cient to warrant their trial. The affidavit fur
ther says:-The only money paid to Heath and
Jones or any other officers in Boston was $4,000;
and this was all the compensation received by
them and others for many months of service,
and many journeys to Montreal, New York,
Philadelphia, and elsewhere, and for the re-
covery of between $500, 900 and $400, 600. There
never was any suspicion of unfaithfulness or
any kind of misconduct on the part of Heath or
Jones.

GENERAL GRANT IN PRNNsYLvAHIA-It ID
surmised in certain quarters that General
Grants special object in travelling about in
Pennsylvania, though he makes no political
speeches and joins in no party parades, is to
assist in the recollection of Governor Geary.
If so, what of it? Geary did Grant good
turn at Chattanooga, and Grant is a soldier
who believes that one good turn deserves
another Moreover, in the fact that the sim
pie presence of General Grant anywhere in the
country revives the dropping republicans we
have the best evidence that he has the people
with him, and that he in his quiet way il
master of the situation.

BosH.-It is reported from Europe that Spain
has appealed to the great Powers, her neigh
bors, on the subject of the despatch sent by
Minister Sickles regarding Cuba, and that the
Powers have returned answers favorable to
the rights Of Spain" Will the monarchies of
France, Austria and England, that hardly dare
venture war between themselves for their own
rights, venture contest with this republic for
the rights Of Spain? Nonsense. The only
advice Spain has received from her neighb ors
is the advice from England to give up Cuba.

all will soon be gone" Austria has no more

France, her Mexican bonds are not yet paid.
