A seoueI to the students, Massacre.

A Sequel to the Students Massacre.
NEW YORK, May IA Havana letter Of
April "a says: "Don Alvarez De La Compa,
father of one of the young students SO bru-
tally massacred by the volunteers last No.
vember, had written an address to the
King of Spain, which he sent on to Madrid
BY Gen. Palanca, in which he demanded
justice on all implicated in the murder Of
his child. OF this address he had caused
several thousand copies to be printed for
circulation both in Spain and Cuba. The
leaders of the butchers, dreading the result
of the address, determined, If possible, to
suppress it. They knew that Gen. Palanca
had taken, with the address to
the King, number of documents
clearly proving the facts stated
by De La Campo. Among these docu-
ments is letter addressed by the Governor
of Havana, Lopez Roberts, to De La Cam
pa after the arrest Of the lstter's son and
which is said to be a convincing proof Of
the venal purpose which instigated the
Governor to make the arrest. The leaders
of the volunteers determined to force De
La Campo, either by entreaties or threats
to telegraph to Gen. Palanca instructions
not to present the address. Gen. Palanca
had only left for Spain by the last steamer
and the counter orders from De La Campo
would reach him on his arrival
in Cadiz. Threats of instant
death failed to frighten De LaCampa into
signing the telegram already written, and
the latter sought the protection of the Gov
ernment and hastened to the acting Cap
tain General and the Governor of Havana.
The latter advised him to leave the island,
because he assured him that he cold not
for the want of means guarantee to spare
his life or property. Upon this advice De
LaCampa acted, taking the steamer Ger
mania for Europe.

CONGRESSIONAL.
Parliamentary Juggling with the
Tariff.


WASHINGTON, May 7.-Mr. Chandler
offered resolution for the appointment of
a select committee of Eve, to inquire wheth-
er any steamboat lines should be subsidized
by Government, and if so, which lines and
to what extent. The Senate, he said, was
acting IN the dark In respect to subsidy
generally, and he thought the whole sub
ject should be investigated.
Mr.. kellogg objected, and the resolution
went over.
At the expiration of the morning hour,
unfinished business, the Postoffice appro-
priation bill was taken up.
A motion striking out one Of the sections
prohibiting ex-oficials of Government from
acting as claim agents against the Govern
ment was concurred in.
Other amendments were offered and
pending action the Senate adjourned.

4 COPENHAGEN, May 1.-The action Of
police authorities in forbidding members
of the international Society from holding
a meeting in this city Sunday, and the
subsequent arrest of the President and
Treasurer of the branch here, gave rise to
great excitement among the members of
the organization. A large number gathered
in the streets and created considerable alarm
by their violent denunciations Of the gov
ernment. They were finally dispersed by
the police, and at present, all Is quiet. It
has been deemed prudent, however, to place
a military guard around all public build
ings and palaces until the excitement has
entirely abated. Leading members of the
society in this city will be prosecuted for
high treason. The police are adopting en-
ergetic measures to suppress any tumult
which may arise.

Next to Bancroftis fondness for horse

sprightly youth of seventy-two really thinks
no damsel can resist his fascinations. A
good story is told of his weakness on this

Newport, with a gay New York belle not
yet out of her teens. In course Of conVer-
sation she addressed her companion as

New YORK, May For the past three

marshals have been looking for Henry
Howard, a rich merchant, who is alleged
guilty of extensive frauds on the govern
ment in the earlier part of 1869. A war

otfSupervisor butchers assistants. 1t was
thought he would secretly sail for Europe
Saturday, and that days steamships were
searched without finding him. His family
took passage in the steamer Batavia, and
his name appeared on the passenger list,
but he could not be found on board when
the vessel sailed. 1t is believed he took the
alarm to evade arrest and has escaped from
the country some other way. Secrecy is
maintained in regard to the nature of his
frauds.

The indianapolis sentinel.

OpGCLdl DlSpdbCH W
INDIANAPOLIS, May 5.-The Sentinel
places at the head of its columns the can
didates of the Liberal Republican Conven-
ton for President and Vice-President, sub
ieCt to the decision Of the Democratic State
Convention, which meets on the 18th of
June. In its editorial stating its position,
the Sentinel says the party, through its
leaders and the press, were committed to
the support of the Cincinnati nominees, if a
liberal and fair platform was adopted.
This the Sentinel claims to have been done,
and that Greeley and Brown having been
prominently named as candidates for the
nomination before the meeting of the Con-
ventiOn, and no objections urged to them,
there is no good reason why they should
not be accepted, and that if either of the
other candidates had been selected, just as
serious objections would have been urged
against them as against Greeley.
The Sentinel says that in its course it
commits no one outside of the Sentinel
office; and, if the State Convention shall
decide differently, it will cheerfuly ac-
quiesce. 1t thinks there is no reasonable
chance for electing a National Democratic
ticket, and that the choice is narrowed
down to Greeley or Grant, and it prefers
Greeley on the Liberal platform upon
which he has been nominated.
The feeling is growing stronger and
stronger in favor of the Cincinnati nomi-
nees, AID the most ultra Democrats freely
express the opinion that it is best to accept
the Cincinnati platform and candidates in
the National contest.
Gossip from Washington.
Special to the Louisville CourierJournal.
WASHINGTON, May 6.-The Washington
supporters of Judge Davis for the PTesi-
dency at the Cincinnati Convention all re-
turned home to-day, and, though greatly
disappointed at their failure to nom nate
him, have determined to support Greeley
and Brown. They were in conference with
many Democratic Senators and members,
and urged them to influence the National
Democratic Convention to indoTse the Gin
cinnati ticket. The announcement at the
Capitol to-day that ex-senator Hendricks
and Hon. George II. Pc ldleton would favor
the Liberal nominees in the National Con-
yention had marked effect on the views of
Democratic members.
There continues to be some speculation
over the recent story that Grant, in order to
reunite the Republican party, will take
complimentary vote of the Philadelphia
Convention and withdraw, but it has few
believers.
The Democratic paper here (the Pdtriot)
comes out to-day against holding the Ma
tional Convention in st. Louis, on the
ground that it should be free to act from
all ocal Liberal Republican i1aBence. 1t
then speaks of the candidates as follows:
"Who that convention will nominate,
whether they viii place the Democratic
