The State of Affairs on the Island.
HAVANA, June IA.
The disagreementS among the vOlun-
teers themselves, and also their failure
to establish the projected colonial gov
ernment, have served to keep them
quiet. The report that 4, 900 troops were
coming to disarm the volunteers has
been officially denied. Tho volunteers
are jubilant, and are instituting a
Court of Inquiry, for the purpose OF ex-
aiming into the conduct OF Gen. Dnlce,
and making a report to be forwarded to
Spain.
It is reported that General Dulce will
touch at Porto Rico, for the purpose OF
meeting Gen. De Rodas and explaining
to him the situation ofaffairs.
Tie Vasconade volunteers left for

should accompany them. They prom
ised, however, to garrison Villa
Clara.
a meeting OF the Spaniards was held
to consider the subject OF Il commission
to Gen. Cespesdes for the purpose of
establishing a mutual preservation of
the lives and property of both parties
The recognition OF insurgents as bel.
ligerents by the Peruvian government
causes dependency. The order send
ing employees to Puerto Principe has
been revoked in consequence of un-
favorable news from that quarter.
Gen. Quesade was concentrating his
forces closer for a siege OF that place.
and had captured convoy OF provis-
ions.

turned from the interior says the in

sand persons monthly, and that disease
Is making havoc among them.

pected that a large crowd will be in at

take the combatants and their friends
and spectators to the grounds, the loca-
ton of which is still a secret. Both
parties are said to be in fine condition
and confident. There is not much bet
ting, but in what little there is the odds
are in favor of McCoole. Allen arrived
here Saturday, and both he and Nc
Coole are said to be secreted to prevent

The stnte Depnrtment.

a Philadelphia paper gives some in.
teresting facts about the State Depart
ment. Few changes take place there
Every new Secretary is expected tC
bring with him his first assistant. This
is the reorganization of each new ad.
ministration. Sometimes men who act
as "translators'' have been known to
die or go away, but these are the excep-
tions and not the rule. A man who has
been only thirty years in the business
Is considered boy, and is treated ac-
cordingly by his seniors. In order to
be eligible to a clerkship in the State
department 1t must be proven that the
man is exempt from any qualifications
of a leaky nature. Every new Secretary
is given to understand from the first
that his crew are picked men, safe as
the stoutest canvass In THO strongest
storm. Newspaper men in search of
news are not allowed around the premi-
ses.
The Secretary has two assistants and
a chief clerk. There are six bureaus in
the Department-one for northern. an.
other for southern Europe, while a
third includes South America and the
various islands OF the globe with which
the department holds diplomatic relR
tions. The other three are called trans
lating, consular and territorial.
Seventeen governments carry on cor
respOndenc9 with us in Spanish. Eng
land, Liberia and the Sandwich Islands
use the English language. Holland
and Turkey write in French.
In the centre OF the library room is
daise with glass vases on it, and in
these are some of the treaties with for
eign nations, seals and all. The seals
are circular in form. like gold coin,
varying in size from large to small
sunlower. With the exception of Eng
land, the smaller tho foreign country
tho larger the seal. The seal of Great
Britain is an immense affair, of solid
silver, with heavy tassels of silver bull
lion attached. The treaty is a thin
book, velvet covered, with the stipula-
tions written upon it's parchment leaves
in the neatest possib BILE manner. The
sentences are couched in language as
polite as though dictated by Sir Charles
Grandson, and are signed by Nictorla's
own hand.
Another woman's treaty lies beside
Victoria's. It is from the hand OF her
sister-queen, the ruler of Madagascar.
1t is written in precisely the same kind
of book. 1t might have been borrowed
for the occasion; but instead of silver,
the treaty has attached to it u massive
seal of solid gold. The Queen of Mad
agascar has signed her name, and like
a school girl sho has tried to do her
best. Her long name, all in one word,
was written each letter separate from
its companion, completed evidently
with an effort. Next came a treaty
signed in the clear, bold hand of Louis
Philippe; and then followed divers
others from various parts of the world.

The official Journal of to-day, pub
fishes an account and explanation OF
the recent disturbances. It ass erts that
the Government had received accurate
details before hand of what was to take
place, and was enabled to take proper
and sufficient precautions to prevent
the agitation from assuming more
serious aspect. Officers of justice are
in possession of facts which provoked
and accompanied the outbreaks. 1t is
their duty now to trace up their authors.
The Journal praises the patience,
frmness and moderation of the troops,
and congratulates the Government on
the suppression of the disorder with
out bloodshed, thus fulfilling its mis-
sion for the protection of humanity.

A Communication from Minister Mot
ley to the British Cabinet.

| LONDON. June 13.
AT the Cabinet meeting held yester-
day, 1t is rumored, though the report
cannot be authenticated, that an off,
cIal communication from Mr.. Motley
was presented by Lord Clarendon. Re-
port states that in his communication
Mr.. Motley informs Her Majesty's
Government of the rejection by the
United States Senate of the Alabama
claims treaty. he represents that the
grounds for rejection were insufficiency
of the treaty as full settlement OF the
question in dispute between the two
countries, and intimates that the Ad-
ministration agrees with the Senate's
declinstion to ratify the treaty. He
says he is instructed to express the
earnest desire of the American Govern
ment for a speedy and friendly re-
moval of the matters in diff
ference by treaty which will
do justice to all parties, leaving no
question open for future consideration.
He announces his readiness to receive
and consider with liberality any propo-
sition Her Majesty's government may
make for the full settlement of any In.

claim of any individual citizen, grows

The London Times on the Irish Church
Bill.
LONDON, June Il,
The Times this morning in leader
on the prospects OF the Irish Church
bill in the House of Lords. says: The
week opens with all the elements of
dramatic situation. The action is
great;-the motive is great, and the end
is certain. We are convinced that the
bill will pass to its second reading.
Every day it becmes clearer that Eng
land, after an agitation of so years, will
voluntarily undo injustice so long
perpetuated. No Orange demonstra-
tion can affect the success of the meas
ure. This scandal of tho Irish Church
establishment is at the root of the
alienation of Ireland. Its destruction
is an act OF peace and unity between
jealous and disunited races
The Times reviews the opinions OF
the leading men of the opposition and
concludes:
"By such arguments justice may be
as often delayed, but not when the
nation is awake to sense of its denial.
We feel assured that justice will not be
delayed by yielding now. The reputa-
tion and authority of the House OF
Lords will be established firmer than
ever.

| Friday at P. M, the steamer Swal
low struck hidden obstruction at the
head of Island No. II, on the Mississip.
pi, causing her to sink In about ten
minutes. This gave time for the boat
to reach the shore, where she settled
down in eight feet of water on her star
board side, and eleven feet on her lar
board. She lies at the Tennessee shore,
perfectly straight, with her bow up
stream, and out of the current. There
is little danger of the sand washing
from under her and breaking her be.
| fore an attempt is made to raise her.
No lives were lost. The majority OF the
| officers and crew are still aboard, as
the water is not over the starboard
main deck guard, and only three feet
on the larboRrd.
| No less than twenty-Iour persons
have "mysteriously disappeared" from
New York during the past two weeks.
One of these is a lady OF beauty and
wealth. The last case Is that OF Mr.. F.
P. Woodruff, who left his boarding
house, at Astoria, on Tuesday evening
last, has been murdered, and his body
flung into the East River, from which
it was recovered Sunday morning near
deep cash on the head, with evidences
OF foul play. On Tuesday night, he
stopped at French's hotel, but from
that time all trace of him appears to
have been lost.
In debate between Gov. Senter
and Col, Stokes at Athens, East Ten
nessee, Saturday, Stokes got excited
and said he would give Senter ten dol
lars to say whether or not he indorsed
the Chicago Republican Platform. SEN
ter said he did indorse 1t, and pocketed
the money.
II. T. Fauntleroy, OF Winchester,
Va, recently addressed letter to Gen.
Candy, stating that in 1865 he had re.
ceived a full pardon from the President
for his participation in the rebellion;
that he was thus fully rehRbilitated as
a citizen of the United States under the
Constitution thereof; that he had cast
his vote at the election i'll that State on
the 7th of October, 1865, thus exercising
the rights and immunities of citizen,
and that he Is not now a registered vo-
ter, having been refused that right, and,
of course, the right to vote. Fauntleroy
then contends that as the Fourteenth
Amendment and the Reconstruction
Acts were passed subsequent to his re-
habilitation as citizen, they do not
affect his political status, and he ap-
peals 10 Gen. Candy for decision that
will enable him to register and vote in
the coming election. The reply of the
General in chief is brief and decisive.
He says that executive pardon does not
remove political disabilities.
The Secretary OF War has prepared
an order that all clerks and employees in
the War Department, other than SOL
diers detailed from the regular army,
will be discharged after the 18th inst.
Should this order be carried into effect,
about 600 clerks will be thrown out of
employment. A majority of them are
discharged soldiers.
