An army OF pickers, divided into squads,

A Cheating u. S. Minister.

In the House, on Saturday, Mr. Orth
offered an amendment for repaying to
Brazil money enormously claimed bV,
and paid to, the United States-S51 .50O-
Or SO much thereof as may he necessary.
Mr.. +. X. iioar explained the amend
ment 1t arose ont Of the condemnation.

which had been insured in New York and
Philadelphia. The condemnation was I'M
inst James Watson Webb, then Minister
to Brazil, had been directed not to press
the claim of Brazil, but while that GOV
ernmcnt was involved with Paraguay, and
Just before the departure of the steamer
for Europe he informed the Brazilian Gov
eminent that he would break off diplo-
matte relations unless the claim was i'm
mediately paid and the sum of $l4 ,252
was paid under protest. 4 draft for $4,000
was sent to the State Department as being
the entire amount received, and that
amount was invested, pending an investi-
CATION. The result of the investigation
was a decision by this Government that
the Brazilian Government had not been
liable in the first instance and that the
amount should be restored with interest.
then it was discovered that the amount
paid had been S14, Pop, and not 10000
Mr.. Webb had declined TO give any eN-
PLANTATION, and he was now abroad, and
not under the jurisdiction of this Govern
mcnt. The item was to make up the diff

Outrage on a British Official.

The South Pacific Times of the DIST OF
April says that the British minister to
Chill has made formal demand for the
release OF Captain Hyde of the wrecked
steamship Iacna, whose arrest has already
been reported, and an indemnity of t25,
600, or, failing to meet this demand he
asks for his PASSPORTS 1t is believed that
the British fleet has been ordered to Val
paralso. 1t is also stated that Mr.. Magee,
the British vice-consul at San Jose, Guate-
mala. was recently sentenced to 400 lashes
bv the commandment of the place Two
hundred were inflicted and the sufferer
was left nearly dead. The wretch who
ordered the lashes was killed as he was
escaping aboard the steamship Arizona.
Another Panama letter states that the
ony cause known for the brutal treatment
Of the inability by lameness to appear be-
fore Gonzales as prompt as the latter
desired. 1t is thought that Magee will re-
cover from his INJURIES but his nervous
system is seriously shocked.
The same letter also states that when
Gonzales was about to have the second
200 lashes inflicted upon Magee, the latter
begged Gonzales not to commence, but to
escape to the Steamer Arizona. and he
(Magee) would give him a letter which
would ensure him safety at Salvador
Gonzales agreed to this Magee wrote
the letter, when Gonzales ordered his
soldiers to shoot Magee, but they refused,
as they knew Solano was entering the
town, Gonzales then took a boat to en-
bark on the Arizona, accompanied by
United States Consular Agent James
The latter got on board As Gonzales
reached half way up the gang way he was
shot MORALLY through the abdomen, but
got into his boat again and made for the
shore being again shot in the shoulder
