NEW YORK..

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Failures in
the tea trade, yesterday, are attributed
rather to a competition which is grow
ing up in the West than to the panic.
The great Western marts, it is said,
are receiving their teas mainly by way
of San Francisco, and many smaller
firms here have been wound up owing
to this withdrawal of trade. Decreas-
ing trade is mentioned as the cause of
one of the heaviest importing firms
advertising two of the vessels of their
fleet for sale at the Cabinet meeting
yesterday.
A Washington correspondent makes
President Grant say that he had read
of the capture of so Cuban insurgents
and of their having been shot. He
was prepared to hear of its contirma-
tion after what had already occurred
in Cuba. He was satisfied that the
Spanish Government did not and
would not approve Of such butchery.
1t was matter which an enlightened
nation could not overlook. If, indeed,
this method of warfare was necessary
to support the Spanish Republic, as an
individual he could not wish such a
government prosperity. If the
Spanish people, in their effort to es-
tablish a republican form of govern
ment, could not control their authOri-
ties in Cuba, then, in the interest of
humanity, he thought it time to in
terfere, not to encourage the strug-
Cling Cubans nor embarrass the Span
ish republic in any way, but wholly in
the interest of civilization and hu-
manitY.

stockholders were mentioned Mathew
Baerd of Philadelphia, Henry S. Nc
Comb, Shoemaker of Adams Express
Company, Walters of Baltimore, and
General Dodge, missing Credit Mo
bilier witness, while Henry Clews
and j. l.. Lockwood of New York,
were chief subscribers in New York.
After the organization was completed,
correspondent alleges that large
shareholders began the policy of de-
vouring the smaller ones, by making
assessments up to so per ce..t. of the
capital stock instead of 80, as had been
promised. 1t is alleged that Scott
waited too long before going to Eu-
rope to negotiate the bonds in which
the Construction Company We're to be
paid, and when he returned he found
the Company in such trouble that it
was useless to attempt to keep it up.
The proposition to make Il. S. Bond
Vice-President of the Company eX-
cites, it is said, the apprehension of
many stockholders that it will result
in their extinction.
Judge Bradley of the United States
Supreme Court, whose district in
cludes Texas, is the Jurist selected to
whom to make application for Bonds
appointment.

HAVANA, Nov. 12.-On the 7th inst
the captain and thirty-six of the crew
of the Virginius were executed at San
tiago de Cuba; on the next day twelve
more of the Cuban volunteers of the
vessel were shot. Among the latter
was Fanchie Alfaro.
Several passengers, men and women,
by the steamer City of New York,
from New York Nov. 6, which arrived
yesterday, were arrested by the Span
ish authorities. 1t is reported that
they are accused of completely with
the insurgents.
A Madrid dispatch from Cartagena
says that the insurgent fleet is making
preparations to leave the harbOr, and
hope to escape the vigilance of the
Government squadron.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1l.-SurveyOr
Hardenburghs defense, when tested
by the Department records, is found
to be merely special pleading, which
will undoubtedly react to his disad-
vantage. He justifies his illegal
charges of fees by saying he followed
precedents which had been approved
by the Department. The facts are
that Commissioner Drummond, as
soon as he read the Bulletin article,
early in 1871, exposing the fee prac-
tice of Hardenburgh's office, sent
him that article and demanded an ex-
planation, at the same time explicitly
informing him that such practices
should not be allowed to continue.
Hardenburgh after some days made
an evasive reply, stating that persons
who complained were then satisfied,
and that there had been misapprehen-
sions. The Commissioner thereupon
wrote him again that his reply was by
no means satisfactory, and again de-
manded an explanation and reform.
Hardenburgh failing to reply to this
letter has ever since continued to eX-
act the same illegal fees. The eXpla-
nation that he accounted for rents col
lected by him is not sufficient. For
he did not turn the money over to the
United States Treasury, but applied
it to the payment OF unauthorized
purchased carpets, etc. A much more
serious matter however is Harden
burghs utter failure to meet the charge
that he put deputies to work in the
field in advance of the availability of
appropriations for San Diego. This
he attempts to justify by citing to
some of the old circulars issued by
Drummond's predecessors prior to the
passage of the law covering an unex-
pended balance in the Treasury. The
fact is, he was informed by circular
from the General Land Office in 1871,
that although he might make and
forward the contract for its approval,
and otherwise prepare for work in adj
vance of the beginning official year,
no work to be paid for out of the
prospective appropriations could be
done until appropriations were act
ually available.
The Consul General of the United
States, at Havana, telegraphed to
Secretary Fish that the Havana pa
pers publish a report of the execution
of the captain and crew of the Virgin
ius, as telegraphed to the Press from
Havana. They say on receiving the
dispatch the Secretary proceeded inn
mediately to the Executive Mansion
and showed the telegram to the Presi-
dent, and soon thereafter telegraphed
to the Consul General to verify the
statement. The excitement against
the Cuban authorities, which had
somewhat lessened, has been revived
by to-day's startling announcements.
The exciting news has formed SUBJ
ject of earnest comment in official and
diplomatic circles.
Ex-senator Cole arrived here to look
after the Mission, San Diego and San
Antonio Spanish ranch cases, long
pending in the Department, on appli-
cations for patents. Also to argue the
Tennessee cotton case in the Supreme
Court.

CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, Nov. l2.-The Chicago
Tribune has a Washington special
which says the prominent topic
among capitalists and politicians, is
the Texas and Pacific Construction
Company, and adds: "This Company
obtained most of its political stool
pigeon rights under the nose of the
Credit MObilier investigation, and
while the character of some Congress-
men were being demolished, others,
with perfect Indifference, We're trying
to be let in on new Credit Mobilier.
A suit was about to be commenced
this week, by the firm of Christy,
Paine & Co., Of Washington, against
the Construction Company, on behalf
of certain obligations that had been
promised but not fulfilled. Yesterday
the attorney was cited by John Nc
Namara, the President, to hold a per-
sonal conference with Col. Tom. Scott,
for the purpose of postponing the suit.
Gen. BristOw, lately Solicitor General
Of the United States, became Col.
Scotts counsel, and was afterward
made First President of the Construc-
tion Company, with salary of S12,-
600 a year, and had also been desir-
Gus that his name should be dropped
from the list of defendants. 1t appears
Bristow left the concern when he found
it might be expected of him to do the
dirty work with the Texas Legislature
and State authorities. He had in
vested his salary in schemes and went
out with no high opinion of the prac-
tice of law for modern railroad COM
panies. Mr. Scott, although he is de-
barred by Act of Congress with officers
of railroads from being member of
the Construction Company, yet is
said to have taken stock in the name
OF members of his family, in order to
drive out General Rosecrans and
others who had been pioneers in the
road. Pools were put to the figure of
$500, 900, and Rosecrans was unable to
make the combination to that amount

Central were admitted and among the

The Theatre.

Hamlet was reproduced last even
ing, the eminent young actor, S. W..
Piercy, appearing to even greater ad-
vantage than before. Many old play
goers stated openly their opinion that
his conception equaled that of the
great Booth. Miss Lipsis was excel
lent as Ophelia; and Madame Duret's
representation of the Queen was a
of her former fine acting in
the same part. The soliloquy was su-
perb, and the scene between Hamlet
and Ophelia never better acted.
Messrs. FentOn, Lipsis and Barrows
were all good as the King, POlonius
and Laertes, and the public paid the
company the tribute of full house.
