WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-Strong efforts
will be made for the restoration of cadet
midshipman briggs, who was recently
dismissed from the naval academy for
assaulting cadet midshipman Converse
(colored).
The authorities are not disposed to
reinstate briggs, as the assault was
without provocation.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29-Reference was
made in our dispatches yesterday to the
raid by party of Americans who,
besides killing the Alcade, completely
destroyed the town, of which the fol-
lowing particulars have been obtained
from the War Department:
"On September 27, courier arrived
from Reservation, village forty miles
above here, ON this side of the river,
and who left that morning at daybreak,
states that the village was attacked by
about thirty Americans, who opened
very lively fire at or near the Alcade's
house, in said village, and who is prob
ably killed. His house was burned
after the attack, as were also other
houses, in the presence of Mexicans
from the other side
The {. s. Consul arrived the same
day, and wrote to Col. Merriman as
follows:
"By another courier, who has just
arrived from above, what l had the
honor to communicate is confirmed.
Men who assaulted Reservation are sGs
peeted to be Americans, negroes and
Indians"
The leader of the band is former
resident of the village.
On receipt of this intelligence, orders
were issued to commanding officers to
proceed with a company of the 18th
cavalry to Reservation, in order to
obtain information about attack and
arrest of guilty parties.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 30.-As a race,
the contest between Lucy and Occident,
this afternoon, was not much. but the
crowd present was a grand success.
Estimates pace the attendance at from
5000 to II 900. The true number would
not vary much from 10000. 1t WIS de-
cided the largest gathering ever Witness
edin the State at any such exhibition.-
There was but little scoring on the first
heat, the animals getting off on the third
trial. Occident broke once very badly,
and Lucy won the heat in the very poor
time of 2-25h, Occidert tapping her
wheel. Half mile of tie track was
very loose and spougy and bad. On
that portion Occident broke badly. Af
ter half dozen attempts the horses
made good start for the second heat.
Occident broke oadly at the first quar-
ter and lost ground. He then broke as
bad at the half and lost more. Lucy
won the heat in 2-20, Occident being
distanced about two lengths. This heat
finished the race. 1t will be borne in
mind that the Bay District Agricultural
Society insured the owners of Gold |
smiths Maid and Lucy S25, 200 to bring
their horses here. 1t is roughly estima-
ted that the Society's receipts over the
current expenses at the three races have
been $50, 900, which leaves the Society
comfortable after fulfilling its obliga-
tions to Doble and Hickox, While the
crowd at the races would have pre-
ferred to see Occident win every heat,
the final triumph of Lucy was greeted
with as hearty cheers as if she had been
the favorite from the start. 1t is report
ed in horse circles that Gov. Stanford
has standing offer of $4,000 for Occi-
dent. Considering the condition of the
track, even Occident being distanced in
220 is not bad for green horse. While
trotting squarely Occident outfooted
the mare, but he lost frightfully by his
breaks. A Sacramento dispatch of this
afternoon says the Mclaughlin blunder
last night is the town talk to-day, to the
exclusion of every thing else. The jury
