To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
A correspondence from Havana has been pub
lished In to-days HERALD stating that the govern.
ment Of Madrid had sent orders to take OIL the en-
barge on my property; the pretext given to the
Committee on Embargoed Properties is that my
father died recently In Paris, and that his last viii
and testament must be admitted to probate before
the regular court and that the truth is that d. d.
Aldama made an arrangement with an American
house, selling and conveying the all OF his pro-
perty, with conditions profitable without doubt to
oil parties, not exclusive OF the Spanish govern
ment; that the Americans are proving the validity
OF their purchase at Madrid, md everything goes
on happily, 1t being necessary only to throw little
dust In the eyes or the Spanish volunteers I'm Cuba
to prevent any disagreeable sensation from that
source.
Allow me TO contradict such extraordinary report
and to state that not the President of the cuban
Junta as that Zunta ceased 10 exist In November,
1870; that my late amented father died IN this CITY,
and not In PARIS the l1th OF April, 1870; that he
never, to my knowledge, made any transfer OF his
properties TO any person or house before or after
the order OF embargo against him was issued, and,
finally, that never have made any application what
about my property TO the Spanish authorities,
being decided to lose II vanqushed. all my property

Ten Thousand Dollars for Being Elected from
Street Car-Curious Complication-Al-
legged Attempt to Suborn n Witness.
On the 30th Of November 1859, John l.. Straub, a
citizen OF this city, was elected from Harlem car
OF the Third avenue line little above the depot at
Sixtyftn street, because, as the conductor OF the
car told him, hts transfer cheek was OF previous
date. This check Mr.. Straub states, he had re-
ceived from the conductor Of one Of the cars which
does not go further up town than the depot, and
which he had taken at the City Hail. In conse-
quence OF the outrage alleged to have been com.
mtted upon him Straub brought suit against the
railroad company In the Superior Court for $100 0o0
Yesterday William Benz Kemper, the conductor
who had given Straub the transfer check, caused
the arrest, at the instance of the company OF man
named Francis s. Farchilds. whom, he alleges on
two or more separate occasions, attempted to in
duce MN n to appear as witness in the suit for
the $40, 600 for The purpose Of swearing that the
check he had given Straub was not a good one. For
TINS service he would get five dollars day while
the trial lasted, and promise Of more If the prose-
cutlon succeeded. Fairchids asked for an examine
ton after denying the cnarge against him, and the
case was set down for the 14th Of April Bail was
nxed at $1,000 in default OF which the prisoner
was committed.

Ride on u Cowcatcher and Falls Under the
Locomotive Wheels.
Alb out eleven O'Clock yesterday morning a boy,
named Thomas Hodgin. eleven years OF age, jumped
on the cowcatcher OF locomotive drilling about the
Paterson depot, with the intention Of stealing ride.
Some one cried for him to get off, when, in attempt
ing to DO So his foot slipped and he fell, with his
head directly under the wheels Of the engine About
half OF the top or hts head cut off, the skull be-.
ing severed as II by broadaXe. The brains were
scattered along the track for several feet and the
sight was one which few could look upon. Coroner
after an investigation, gave permit for burial.
The boy was apparently half.wftted and could not
be restrained. He has been the cause OF good
deal Of trouble and anxiety to the depot employees
who have repeatedly driven HIM away, and who
have witnessed his narrow escape from sma
at 3s Morton street, had expressed their inability to

BROWN BUTCHERED.

Murder I'm a Saiiurs' Boarding House-A
Seaman Stabbed 60 the Heart-Arrcst Of tho
Murderer-The Witnesses secured.
The sailors boarding house OF William Montland,
29s Cherry street, was the scene OF bloody ARRAY
shortly before three o'clock yesterday afternoon
which resulted in the death OF Thomas Brown,
saor forty years OF age. From what could be
learned concerning the affair appears that deceased
and Frank Wilson, also q sailor, had been stopping
at the same house In Cherry street for q
week or ten days past and seemed to agree
very well. Yesterday morning Wilson COM
menced drinking poisonous liquor and imbibed
to excess for several hours. In the latter part
Of the day they took scat on bench on
the front stoop and while there had some angry
words, during which, 1t Is said, Brown struck WILL
son with his 1st whereupon the latter drew sheath
or butcher knife which he carried In his pocket
and stabbed his assaiant
TO THE HEART.
Wilson left the knife sticking In the body OF his
victim and entered the house, but not TO escape
precinct, ran up and arrested the murderer. A
stretcher was procured upon whch the wounded
assS ensea
reaching there.
Upon being taken Wilson was somewhat in
ebriated, but feigned excessive drunkenness part
which he did not play to advantage. as his nuency
Of speech plainly showed. In conversation with
wilson o % f Ss OF
struck by deceased, bnt PAID little or no
not to repeat the Violence as In that
event he should defend himself Wilson further
said that Brown either struck attempted to strike
him again, when he used hts knife. as above stated
Wilson did not pretend to deny using the weapon.
His version Of the ARRAY, however, Is not corrobo-
rated In many important particulars BY John GIL
bert, sailor, who witnessed
THE DEADLY ARRAY
throughout. He says that only one blow was struck
by Brown, and believes there was no necessity or
Justification on the part Of tho prisoner in using the
dangerous weapon. -
William Monroe. 9 soarder IN the same house,
saw something Of the difficulty between Brown and
Wilson, and with the witness Gilbert was detained
g. aa, thS station house e.,y by Sergeant Kelly
board the ship Constantine lying near the foot Of
Wall street. and were to have sailed for London yes
terday morning, but for some reason the ship was
detained In port Very little except the name and
age OF deceased seemed to be known, and efforts to
learn something Of his past life were frultless. Will
son IS twenty.seven years or age and claims to be
native OF France although there is nothing in his
accent to Indicate that he was born abroad.
Coroner keenan, will hold an inquest on the body
OF Brown to-day, and the investigation will neces-
sar1ly be short there only three or four wit
neSses to examine.
