WASHINGTON.

Washington, .. No official information is
received in confirmation of the report from
Madrid, respecting the indemnity to be de-
manded by the Spanish government in the
case OF the Virginius, nor is it probable any
such claim will be presented. The adjust
ment o! the questions involved having been
arranged by the protocol of the representatives
of the two countries. If at any future time a
bill of damages should be presented, the pay
ment would (there is ground for stating be
refused on the principle established by the
Geneva Tribunal in the disalowance of in
direct or consequential damages. Therefore
it can certainly be stated that Spain will not
receive any money whatever growing ont of
the transactions in connection with the Vir
ginias, even if that vessel had reached its
destination, and had been sold by the United
States for violation of the law.
The preparation of the Virgnius cores
pondence will be completed tomorrow and
may be sent to Congress on Monday next. 1t
is represented to be volumnous.
Speaking to-day of the intelligence from
Havana that the Tornado had left port, and it
was generally reported that she had orders to
pursue the Edgar Stewart, and if she proved
to be of the same character as the Virgillius
to sink her, gentleman of high official posi-
ton said ''the ignorance or want of correct
information on the part of the Spanish officers
was never more apparent than in this in
stance, as it was known here that the Edgar
Stewart was still at Baltimore, with no mme-
date prospect of leaving for any port or des-
tination."
An appropriation by Congress of nearly
two millions in gold will be required in salts
faction of the claims allowed by the late
United States and British commission.

Congestion of the Lungs.

WAUPACA, Wisconsin.
DEAR IR:-Late in April, my father, who
is seventy-two years of age, and has been a
practicing physician most of his life, was
seized with Inflammation of the liver, followed
by congestion of the right lung, the attack
being return of one from which he was just
recovering.
The disease finally eliminated in what our
MUSICIAN called ''catarrh of the lung" and
which others have called "bronchal affec-
ton"
For more than three months father has been
troubled with severe cough, which gave him
no rest night or day.
The doctor having exhausted all remedies
without any effect, we commenced to use Fell
lows Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites
the 22d of August, at which time the expec-
toration was very copious, very tough, Cocoa
sionally of the nature of matter) and gener-
ally brick color.
Since that time It has entirely changed its
nature, the color is quite light, with no mix
ture of blood, and is only about third as
much in quantity.
The swelling in his limbs which has troubled
him for about three months, has nearly disap-
peared. and he is fast recovering.
Yours respectfully, S. E. MARSH.

Hartford, = There were nine fire insur-
ancc companies before the Chicaso fire, with
total assets of Sl3,237 ,SG5. That fire car
ried down five companies, with assets of over
S2,000,0 600. Three new companies have
been organized since, two of them in season
to suffer loss by the Boston fire. The losses
paid by Hartford companies for the Chicago
and Boston fires were over Sl2 900, and
they have sustained heavy losses besides.
Yet the seven companies now doing business
here show assets at the commencement of the
present year of Sl2,4l1, 95S, or within $780,
600 of the assets of the nine companies be-
fore the Chicago disaster, and one of the
seven has just commenced business.

Cincinnati, 2. Just as the Toledo, Detroit
and Canada train on the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton railroad, due here at 0.30 p. NJ,
was starting ont of Winterplace last night, on
time, the Chicago express train which was an
hour behind time, ran into it at speed of
thirty miles an hour. The passenger and
baggage cars of the leading train were tele-
scoped, one passenger car of the rear train
was badly injured, and considerable damage
done to several other cars. Engineer Moore
of the Chicago train jumped from the engine,
breaking leg. G. A. CaruahaD and Mr..
Meyer, both of Cincinnati, were injured.
Canadian had an arm broken. Three other
passengers and two fremen were slightly in
jured There was a red light on the rear car
of the Toledo train when struck. Consider
ing the damage to the cars, the escape of the
passengers was miraculous.
Columbus, 3. The strike of engineers here
still holds out. The authorities have given
notice that all who want their engineers had
better apply at once. The running of pas
senger trains has transferred the excitement
to the freight depot, but no outbreak has yet
occurred.

Considerable excitement existed in this
city to. day relative to the action of the rail-
road engineers, owing to the reduction of
their wages by the Pennsylvania railroad
company.
kilograms are constantly received here in
quiring as to what action was taken in the
conference reported to have been held at the
Continental hotel to-day, between q delega-
ton from the engineers and the railway Off
Gals. No conference was held in which the
railroad officials took part. This morning
representatives of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineer belonging to the Western,
Pittsburg, Middle, Altoona & Philadelphia
Amboy and New York divisions arrived in
this city and held meeting of conference. A
committee of three from the New York Cen
trail railroad were present The proceed
ings were conducted in secret. 1t is under
stood that it was decided unanimously to SUBJ
nit to the reduction, provided the company
will restore the old wages in three months.
The Pennsylvania officials state that the
strike is practically ended and that the men
are resuming work under the new rule. They
say that the reduction of wages would have
been forced at all hazards.

brother, II. S. Jackson, in New York, who
is one of the treasury special agents and has
