BOSTON BANK STATEMENT.
From Connecticut.

New Haven, May 0. The Legislative Com
mittee who are examining the votes of the
4th ward, have spent the day in taking
affdavits of men who voted for Jewell. At
o'clock this evening" the time of adjourn
ment, the number of these affidavits reached
$50, wanting only 10 of the number claimed
for Jewell in that ward. 1t is generally con-
ceded that this will practically settle the dis
pute, and that the Legislature will find on re-
port of the Committee, that Jewell has been
legally elected Governor.

The Water Question.

Some of our citizens made move and
something was done towards getting up a
company last season, to bring water from
Kennady brook, about half mile west from
the State House. A survey was made and
some little preparation commenced for build
ing dam, with the prospect of having sup
ply of water for our city. Whether the COM
pany have come to stand still or given out,
we do not know one thing is pretty certain,
that the Kennady brook water is very clear
and comes, not from one, but several springs.
A good stone dam could be built at not very
large cost. 1t would be about 80 feet long
and 90 feet high, for guess. A large pond
would be made.
There is an account of the doings of this
company in the Journal of last season that
will give particulars. If there is anything to
be done in bringing water into our city it is
very desirable we should have good fountain
head. There is no doubt the Kennady brook
would furnish an abundant supply as there is
always quite stream of running water in the
brook at all seasons of the year. w.

From Washington.

Washington, May .. The following des-
patch has been received from Harper's Ferry
dated the oth inst. The treshet is very high
here. All the temporary bridges on the Win
chester Potomac branch of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad are weighed down with cars
loaded with coal to keep them from washing
away. The water is receding slowly, and by
night We will be able to see the amount OF
damage done. Trains are stopped on the
Winchester & Potomac branch. \ large
body of water is passing down through Halls
Island. and fears are entertained that it will
do enormous damage. The rain storm which
has continued here since last nigh, renews
apprehensions of a serious freshet. Yester-
day morning the temporary supports under
the railroad bridge across the Potomac were
knocked away by DRIFT wood floating on the
strong current of the river. Travel across
the bridges is suspended. The work of
pumping out the iron steamer Hercules at
Georgetown has been suspended until the
fireshet subsidies. The river is very high,
and large quantity of drift wood is floating
down from the upper Potomac. Fish wharfis
entirely submerged by the flood. The heavy
rains of Friday night undermined the track
of the Orange, Alexandria & Manassas Rail-
road, one and a half miles south of Glasgow
Station, but it being apparently all right, the
southern bound freight train ON Saturday
morning was running over it at the usual
speed, when suddenly the embankment gave
way, and precipiteted the engine and two ears
down the bank, damaging them very seriouly,
and also badly injuring Mayhugh the engi-
neer, and Paul A. Goolsby fireman.

it Is agreed that mixed CommisGiou, .xif1
an umpire appointed by a designated friendly
power, shall determine whether there shall be
any compensation for such alleged excess OF
privileges, and if So how much ought to be
paid by the United States. Next comes the
various questions of navigation and commers
cial transit, which are disposed Of by declar-
ing the navigation of the rivers st. Lawrence,
Yucan, Porcupine and Stilline forever free
and open to the citizens or subjects Of. beth
countries; BY providing for the equiI
use Of the Welland, !, 81. Lavrsnce.
and other canals in the Domination, ON the one
hand, and Lake Michigan andy the st. Clair
flats and canals on the other; BY providing
for the free transit of merchandise to and
from, as well in the British Possessions as in
the United States, and abolishing the provis-
ional export duty on American lumber on the
river st. John. All the provisions concern
ing the fisheries and commercial transit are
OF course made contingent upon their being
approved by the Congress Of the United
States, the British Parliament of Canada and
the Legislature Of Prince Edwards Island. RF
By these various sspulations all the privi-
leges OF fishery, navigation and transit ac-
corded to the United States by the treaty of
1854 are once more obtained, and in q better
form and without the burdensome conditions
OF that treaty in the matter of reciprocal i'm
portations. - -, ss.4.v ~
OF the pending subjects of controversy be-
tween the two governments there remains to
be considered the question Of the northwest
ern boundry line. 1t is to be remembered
that the line of the treaty of 1916 runs by the
middle of the channel which separates the
continent from Vancouver's Island. But sew
eral such channels exist Great Britain con-
tends that the channel of that treaty is the
Rosario Straits and the United States that It J
is the canal Deharo, the two channels being
separated by the Island of San Juan. The
question having once been reported by MIR
ed Cemmission-that for a survey of the
line-the United States are not content to re-
fer 1t to another such commission nor has it
been deemed convenient even though such
tribunal be appointed by friendly sover-
ign power. Instead of this it has been agreed
by the present treaty to submit the question
directly to neutral power, and the Emper-
or of Germany has been selected for that pur-
pose.
The Government of the United States has
in its hands much documentary evidence in
support of its pretensions, not heretofore
made use of, and on that as well as other
grounds, is confident of the better reason on
its side to assure to the United States the
island of San Juan. Such are the outlines
of the considerations which have commend
ed 1t to the appreciation of the President.

Havana, May .. The insurgents laid a
trap to capture or kill Valmaseda at Canto.
whilst he was returning from Mansianto, and
accompanied by only few staff officers. The
Insurgents attempted first to surprise a
Spanish detachment of % men at the mouth
of the Canto. The Lieutenant in command
of the Spaniards saw the insurgents, and de-
vined their purpose. He waited until they
came close to his position when he fred a
few voleys into them, killing over fifty. The
remainder retreated. The insurgents de.
feated in their attempt to take the post aban-
doned the plan against Valmase who came
later on steamer. Valmaseda promoted
the Lieutenant to captain for his conduct.
