THE GENEVA TRIBUNAL.



GENEVA, July l. [HeralGs special. THE
mode of proceeding on direct claims has not yet
been ascertained, but it seems probable the
court will consider seratim the character of the
Confederate cruisers, and accordingly as they
determine that character, adjudge England re-
sponsble or not for the depredations of one or
all of the ships. The character of the ships
being thus determined, the arbitrators will next
consider the award OF damages on this point,
and will probably confer freely with the counsel
of either side. Should the views of these not
too widely differ as to the amount Of the in
demnity, the court may name a gross amount
between the two estimates. If there should be
no hope of reconciling the conflicting estimates
the court will refer the award of damages to
assessors provided for by the treaty and so con-
clude their labors. Now that the arbitration
goes on at Geneva it will likewise continue on
the San Juan question at Berlin. Prince Bis
marck will appoint distinguished international
lawyers to decide the question.
NEW YORK, July 1.-Geneva and Berlin dis
patches confirm the statements of special dis
patches from those points relative to the future
proceedings of the tribunal, and the arbitration
on the San Juan question

PARIS, July LIN the Assembly, this after

MADRID, June 1.-The King will soon visit
the northern provinces of the kingdom, passing
through those that have been most disturbed
by the Carlist agitation. The Republicans have
resolved to oppose every form of monarchial
government in Spain, to acknowledge no mo-
narchial authority, and to abstain from all cleo
tions while monarchy exists in the country.
At the same time the members of the majority
in the Cortes and the former members Of the
ministry; belonging to the conservative party,
have determined to withdraw from the political

Mr. EDIToR.-I saw an item in 'sthe PRESS"
this morning saying that "a committee of ladies
from the several religious denominations in the
city is engaged in securing subscriptions to es-
tablsh a home for friendless girls, where they
can find board till they procure employment"
1t is the opinion of many ladies that such
home is not needed in this city, for it is well
known fact that any girl who can give satisfac-
tory evidence of her honesty and capability to
do work in a family can find employment ev-
ry day, and every hour in the day. There are
more than ten families within my knowledge
each of whom would be glad to employ a smart
healthy girl possessing the above named quail
fications at liberal wages.
