NV YORK, April pa Washington special
says Secretary Fish is willing 10 agree TO the with
drawal Of indirect claims il the principle OF inter
national law be accepted by both nations, and
made a part Of the Treaty OF Washington, that no
neutral shall be liable for consequential or indirect
damages for injuries inflicted on the commerce OF
friendly powers at war with each other. IL Is
doubtful, however, whether the President would
consent to the view Sir Edward Thornton is eX-
pected TO return 10 Washington to-day. The Sec
rotary of State especially requested him to return
TO confer upon an important matter, and 1t Is be
lieved TO be the proposition above stated. The
subject has been informally preached TO Sir Ed
ward, who expressed his hearty acquiescence. He
said. there is no doubt that the British Government
would consent. y cable dispatch has been sent to
Lord Granville, and if a reply is received to-
morrow the whole question viii be submitted TO
the Cabinet. 1t now seems probable that the
whole matter will be settled at an early day on a
very satisfactory basis.
NEW York, April 26.-The Tribune says editori-
allv: 1--WE regret that there is reason for the

abandoned its attitude on the Alabama question !;
that the Secretary Of State has written to General
Scbenck expressing regret at the misunderstanding
which has arisen concerning the claims Tor indirect
damages. because we conceived we had the right
to include them under the treaty that the case
cannot be amended or Withdrawn. because the
treaty contained no provision for amendment ex-
/ cept by counter case; but that We expected no
award would be made for them that we do not
wish any we desire none may be made and we
hope Her Majesty's Government will permit the
arbitration to go forward.
PARIS. April 25.-The Spanish mails have not ar
rived to-day. The UniUers and Liberte announce
that Don Carlos has crossed the frontier. and is now
in Spain at the head of ten thousand men. The
same journals say that a perfect understanding ex-
lists between the Carlists and the Republicans. The
former are to draw the Government troops into the
open country and lay the towns deienceless against
the Republicans, who are to rise against the Gov
eminent on the first of May in all parts of Spain.
Only two Isabellist Generals have yet joined the
insurrection, and the French Legjtimates hold aioof.
MADRID. April 25.-The Ministerialists and Car
lists met last night, Admiral Topete presiding, for
the object of assuring the Government of sympathy
and support in the coming struggle. SagOsta made
a fiery speech, demanding a place at the point of
greatest danger.
MADRID, April 26.-Ther is a vast increase in the
number of Carlist bands throughout the kingdom.
fifteen thousand persons are now in insurrection.
A royal proclamation has been Issued declaring
many places in a state OF siege. The Government

mand from the provinces where the Carlists are
most active for troops to assist in driving out the
rebels. Serrano with 600 men, took the leader in
Navarro prisoner at the head of his force. This has
checked the operations in that department. Serrano
will be appointed Generalssimo of the Government
forces. Marshal Concha will also be given a high
command. 1t is believed the future of Spain now
depends upon the course of the Radicals. If they
cooperate with the partisans of Carlos, the reVOlu-
ton will be successful.
PARIS, April 26.-The situation in Spain is re-
garded as serious. Nothing certain is known of
the Whereabouts of Don Carlos.
The claimant in the Tichborne case has been ad-
mitted to bail. He will be summoned soon to an
swer charges of perjury and forgery.

CHICAGO. April ga Tribune Cincinnati special
asserts that the entire Press of that city who sup
port the Liberal movement, have united in sup
porting Charles Francis Adams as the nominee of
the Liberal Republican Convention. and the cor
respondent, Gath" asserts from the utterances of
prominent leaders of the moment now in Cincinnati,
Adams will undoubtedly be nominated.
The House of Representatives has passed the bill
granting Goat Island. in the harbor of San Fran
cisco. to the Central Pacific Railroad. greatly to
the disgust of the citizens. Says the alta:
The passage OF the Goat Island bill in the Lower
House of Congress establishes that no compromise
can be effected with the Railroad Company. There
is nothing left for us but to go forward and build a
railroad to st. Louis. If we individually take five
millions of the stock and vote ten millions more
from the city we will have effected a very cheap in
surance on our property. That road can be run
ming before Goat Island can be made available.
The effect of its being placed on a sure basis would
increase the value of our real estate to twice the
amount of our subscription. 1t can come directly
into this city without bridge or any other expensive
structure. 1t will bring us in connection with q
part of the country that will purchase largely of
our products. The route is one upon which there
will be no interruption of travel by snow. 1t will
be able to keep in operation all the year round.
The Atlantic and Pacific Railroad. if proper ar
engagements can be made with il. will deliver us
from the railroad monopoly and assure our future,
