MURDER OF THE INNOCENTS
The Father Of One Of Them Makes a
Direct Appeal to King Amadeus.
Movement TO COuRteract its Influence
and Defeat the Ends Of Justice.

NEW YORK, May IA Havana let
ter dated April "a, says: "DOn Alvarez
de Ia Compa, the father of one Of the
young students 80 brutally massacred by
the volunteers last November, has writ
ten an address to the King of Spain,
which be sent TO Madrid by General
Palanea, in which he demanded Justice
on all implicated III the murder of his
child. He had caused several thousand
copies of the address to be printed for
circulation, both In Spain and Cuba.
The leaders Of the butcheries dread
ing the result of the address,
are determined, n at all possible, to
suppress it. They know that General
Palanea had taken with the address of
the King a number Of documents clearly
proving the facts by De Lalampa.
Among the documents is a letter adj
dressed by them TO the Governor of Ha-
vana, Lopez ReOberts to De Lalampa,
after the arrest of the latteris son, and
which is said to be convincing proof of
the venal purpose which instigated the
Governor to make the arrest. The lead
eTs of the volunteers determined TO force
Della Campo, either BY entreaties or
threats, tOtelegraph General Palaneawith
instructions not to present the address
Palanea had only left for Spain by the
last steamer, and counter orders from
Della Campo would reach him ON his
arrival at Cadiz. Threats of instant
death failed to frighten Della Campo
into signing the telegram already writ
ten, aud the latter sought the protection
of the government and hastened to the
acting Captain-General and the Gov
ernOF of Havana. The latter advised
him TO leave the island, because he as
mred him he could not, for want OF
means, guarantee his life on property.
Upon this advice Della Campa acted,
taking the steamer 5emania for
I Europe.

WASHINGTON ITEMS.

WAsHINGToN, May :.
0. G. Seafield has been appointed
Gauger of the First district, West Nir-
ginia.
James Dunlap died yesterday, in
Georgetown, of apOpleXy. He was for
merly one of the Judges Of the courts
of the District.
A report is quite current this evening
that the President has decided TO remove
the Assistant Secretary of State, Hale,
on the ground of his inability to keep
secrets. 1t is alleged that
quite recently several important State
Department secrets through Hale have
become public.
Edward Young, Chief of the Bureau
of Statistics, was to-day appointed by
the President to represent the United
States in the International Statistical
Congress, which assemblies at st. Peters
burg on the twentieth of August. 1t is
understood he will accept the appoint
ment, and leave for England about the
middle of July.
The Soldiers and Sailors Convention
was held here last night, with delegates
representing various posts Of the Grand
Army of the Republic. Their business
was to take action against certain legis-
lation of Congress affecting their inter
ests, particularly the recently-passed
bounty land act, which requires occu-
pancy and cultivation to secure posses
sion. This, they say, is delusion to the
soldiers and sailors, especially those suf-
fering from or disabled by wounds and
other casualties. They also protest
against the system of pensions, saying
that pensions should commence from
the time of disability, instead of the pc
riod of filing proof; and besides making
pensions more equitable, they want an
of twenty per cent.
The President to-day, in response to
the Senate resolution of the twenty-third
ult., to communicate TO the Senate a re-
port from the acting Secretary of the
Interior giving information relative to
the affray at the courthouse in Smoke
District, Indian Territory, says that in
view of the feeling of hostility which
now exists between the CherOkees and
the United States authorities of the
Western District of Kansas, it seems to
be necessary that Congress should adopt
such measures as viii tend to allay that
feeling. and at the same time secure
the enforcement Of the laws in that
Territory. He therefore cOncurs with
the Secretary of The Interior in suggesting
the adoption of the pending bill for the
erection of a ajudicial district within the
Indian territory as the measure which
VIII afford the most immediate remedy
for the existing troubles. Acting Sec
retary of the Interior COwan, in trans
scribing to the President copies of all
papers received by the department, rec
Ommends the passage of the billreferred
TO by the President, which he says is
authorized by the treaty with the Cher
Okees, July 10, 1866.

They are threatened more seriously than
many Of you realize by military
ascendancy laying its lines for the
control of popular elections by corrupt
practices and official intervention. On
the other hand, you have presented to
you, i'm the person of the distinguished
candidate for the Presidency named at
Cincinnati, guarantee of peace, am
nesty and reconciliation. No man has
ever dared to say that
HORACE GREELEY
was not an honest man. He may not
be what some would call a fine gentle
man, of elegant manners and finished
presence, and he may be addicted to
what are considered by them as low, TO
common pursuits, such as stOck-raising,
looking after the INDECENT, gathering
supplies for the starving, and Illustrating
in all ways philanthropy at home. But
/ tell you, my friends, that old white
hat of his covers the largest brain and
the softest heart in America
let me add moreover, and be pardoned
for saying, that as TO the matter of Ex-
ecutive ability, believe that a man
who has served out a long life in the
conduct of a great leading journal, re-
quiring administrative talent of the
highest order, and giving body and
frame to
