dispatches to the Washington Chronicle.
New, YORK, Nov. 2S.--I am just in re-
ceipt OF a cipher dispatch from Madrid, which
says that dispatch just received there from
Gladstone, the British Premier. instructs the
British Minister at Madrid to say to CASTELAR, 3
Government that the British Government con.
sidcrs the ultimatum Of the United States
moderate, aud that it ought to be promptly
accepted This interference is regarded as in
dicatiug great anxiety on the part OF Great
Britain to prevent any collision between the
United States and Spain, in which she might
suffer The British Minister says that this in
struction was the result of long and exciting
meeting of the British Cabinet, 1t has had a
marked effect upon the situation at Madrid,
and will do much to prevent hostities.
1t is not believed at Madrid that the depar-
ture of Minister Sckles will at all embarrass
negotiations, which can still be carried on
through the Spanish Minister, Admiral Polo
at Washington. w. NJ. E.
New YORK, Nov. 2S-1 p. m-Siuce my
last dispatch | have received the following :
The Spanish authorities have telegraphed COM
pete acceptance of the demand of the United
States The Cuban sympathizers and oppo-
nents of the CASTELAR, Government are loud in
their denuncatiens, and openly state that Cas-
telar is powerless to enforce the demands to
VII. oh he has acceded. The reports here are
that Cuban authorities are defiant, beigerent,
and hostile. | have no reason to contradict
my dispatch of yesterday concerning the sink
ing of the Virginius while she may not be
scuttcd outright, there can be no doubt that 1t
she is ever sure ndered she will have to be
raised FROM the harbor in which she sank. Un-
less all MY information is incorrect the couces
sions of the Madrid authorities will amount to
nothing they are powerless to enforce them
on the island of Cuba. w. NJ. +.

The Philadelphia Ledger says that a memo
rapdum of agreement is 10 circulation and is
said to cover the proposition Of Col. L. A. Scott
to his creditors What he desires is to effect
such an arrangement with his creditors as will
give him increased time to meet the Texas Pa
ci6c paper now due, for periods ranging from
six months to two years, he increasing the Sc
curity upon the paper that bears his endorse
ment, aud this object be hopes to effect num-
Der of his largest creditors having already sig
nifed their assent to the terms The propo-
sitions, the Ledger says, have been sent TO the
respective creditors of the company in the hope
of general siguiug. 1t is understood that none
of the paper of the Texas Pacific Construction
Company with Mr.. j. Edgar Thomsou's en-
dorsement natures until some time during the
coming month OF December, when it is con-
templated to pay it.

maltor of conjecture. It's therefore impossi-
bic to state with auy certainty at what time che
execution Of the agreement will occur. Any
statement that may be made regarding the e1-
act date of the return of the Virginius and the
release of the prisoners will consequently be
upauthoritative.
Regarding the punishment of Burriel and
his associates, it may be said that this Govern
meut has never urged his surrender to it tor
that purpose Being Spanish subjects, aud the
crimes of which they stand accused having been
committed on Spanish soil, they are amenable
only to Spanish law. The United States as
we'll as every other great treaty making power
of the world, has always held this to be an 10
violable principle The Spanish Government
will therefore proceed 10 its own way to fulfill
its promise that they shall be punished for
whatever violation of Spanish law they may be
found guilty Of
s. The idea prevails that the emancipation Of
the slaves on the island Of Cuba was one OF our
demands. Allusion may have been made 10
the correspondence to the failure OF the Span
ish Government to carry out ifs promise OF
emancipation, but it is Known that CASTELAR,,
thorough republican as be is, is as earnestly 10
favor of emanc patton as We are. While 1t
may be insisted upon as guarantee for future
peace, it is certain that it has not been put for
ward as among the original points of our de-
mand.
1t must be admitted, in view of unofficial in-
formation that this satisfactory diplomatic con-
cluson Of the case does not after all conclude
it. The strength of the CASTELAR, Government
is to be tested now, aud the result, it is feared,
will be its overthrow But under any circum-
stance the United States will proceed with w hat
ever resources it may have at its command to
compel the Spauiards as people to yield the
full reparatiou of the agreement which has
been reached. The work 10 the navy yards,
and the general preparation for seEiour results
will consequently continue, and the people may
rest assured that when Congress meets every
thing will be III readiness for the most emergent
nnI1flnrnncInS

Some time being necessary for conference
between the members of the several District

stated that the charge of two per cent. commits
sion on State funds could not be allowed, as al
though the law fixed that as the maximum,
the Board had, under its discretionary power
in the matter. fixed it at Il per cent As the
difference was very small aud change In the
accounts would give very great trouble, he sug-
gested that two per cent. be allowed tor the
past year, especially as the Treasurer stated
that he had received 10 notice OF the change
and was entirely ignorant Of it,.
Whereupon, on motion OF MIR. Adams, the
order fixing the commission OF the Treasurer
for the receipt and disbursement of State funds
at ! per cent. was rcsciudcd, and two per cent.
was allowed for 1928.
On motion of Mr.. Wurder, the Treasurer $
commission 90 State funds tor 1884 was fixed
at one per cent, that amount to cover all
charges for stationery, &C., and the clerk was
directed to notify him OF this action.

er be required to render an account OF the dog
tax to the County Superintendent, with his
vouchers, &C., within thirty days.
Mr.. H. w. Febrey offered the following
amendment, which was accepted by the mover,

And that if he shall fail to do 50, the Presi-
dent Of this Board be aud is hereby directed to
cause suit to be brought against him by the
Attorney for the Commonwealth and that the

ton.
