The Controversy Over the Seizure Of

mand Upon Spain for Indemnity.


Delan0. a&
The changes In Q number OF the internal revenue
appointments within the past twenty-rour hours
have moved high 01lcial circles considerably. The
excitement 0ccasioned has been materially magni.
ned by rumor tnat Commissioner DelanO has
also rendered his resignation. 1t appears
that Bailey was the appointee Of Mr..
Deano, and supported by him. When Baileys
name was sent In 1t was at HrsI opposed but after
the Investigations made at the time, the New York
senators, though opposed to Bailey remained pas
sive. He was consequently confirmed. Mr.. Deano,
about two weeks since, IN speaking about Bailey, IL
1t 10 understood. endorsed him strongly, and
mentioned him as q competent oficer. This
he repeated o week since, and seemed
TO take strong grounds IN his favor
The rumor in regard to the commissioners resig-
nation thus derives plauslbiity. The President 1t is
'-sierst0od, manifested some agitation to-day,
though he made no alluson to this sub
ject In conversation with several prominent
Of1cIaIs who had interviews with him. The removal
OF Bailey was under consideration some weeks ago;
but at the time the Fullerton trial was pending ana
as Bailey was an important party to the suit it was
deemed inexpedient to make any change then. The
question was again brought up, ana after mucn con-
troversy the supersedure was made.
1t s understood that the recent changes in New
York are made without reference to the Senators
from New York. 1t appears for some time the Presi
dent has been dissatisfied with the administration OF
number Of internal revenue officers in New York,
and had made up his mind to send In
new nominations. The appointment OF Sharpe
Tor Marshall was designed 1t Is stated
as compliment to Senator Fenton Harlow having
thus been superseded was provided with the Collec
torshp OF the Fourth district and PIeasonton was
transferred to the Thirty In place OF Bailey
Grfdey secured his nomination through the infu-
ence OF Marshall o. Roberts, and being dissatisfied
with him his removal was effected. Mr.. Allen, for
assessor OF the Second in place OF Allabey is the
appointee OF Mr.. Deano. 1t appears Mr.. Allen was
the early law partner Of Mr.. Delano and 1t ls said
S q relative.
The Seizure of the Steamer AspinwnIl-
Demand Upon Spain for Indemnity.
1t Is understood that the position taken by the
Spanish government in relation to the seizure OF the
Asplnwall Is that the vessel was taken under sus.
picion OF having: landed arms In Cuba. Senior Rob-
erts has not as yet made any reply TO
the communication some weeks since. The
position Of the United States government
is that the Aspinwall was seized on the
high seas and not in Cuban waters, and therefore it
was that the Spanish government mad no right to
make the seizure even had the Aspinwall beer en-
gagged In carrying arms, which, under the circum-
stances. the United States NOT being at war with
Spain, were not contraDand articles. The govern
Ment Will hold to Its original demand for the release
Of the vessel and an indemnity for her detention.

At a meeting OF the Columbia Typographical Union
held at the City Hall this evening, the following pre-.
amble offered by Mr.. McMurray, was Adopted

OF any more newspapers thus lessenlng the channels

terZe republican government founded upon the
the principles OF free speech and free press; there
