Washington, July %. = Col. Warren
called yesterday upon Secretary Cox and
Postmaster General Cresswell, and had a
talk about Fenian matters The Colonel has
now seen every member of the cabinet except
Secretary Rawlins, and found them all favor
able except Attorney General Hoar. lie
believes that some decided action, one way or
the other, must be soon taken by the Ad-
ministration on the subject. From the opin.
ions expressed by different cabinet members,
he hopes the expected action will be favorable
to the rights of naturaized citizens.
The Secretary of the Treasury, being ques'
toned on the subject, replied that he had no
intention at present of selling gold. lie did
not expect to sell any while the premium is
at the present figure. The impression at
the Treasury Office is that gold will go lower.
This seems to be founded on the fact that
United States bonds have advanced in Eu-
rope in consequence of the favorable exhibit
of Boutwell's financial management, and that
by the time the demand for the shipment
of gold ceases we will be ready to bring
them on the market.

the clamor of the volunteers for blood, and
consented to their execution on the ground
of the late Captain General Dulce's prOcla>
nation declaring flibusters pirates. Ad-
miral Huff severely condemned their execu>
tiou without trial, and made sharp protest
against it. The Governor agreed to allow
prisoners to be tried in the future, but orders
will be issued to Spaniards not to bring in
prisoners hereafter but kill them on the spot
