Trouble.
NEW YORK, April 3,-The Tribxne's
Washington special says, information was
impaired at the War Department yester-
day, through high official circles, that the
President would declare as the policy of
the Government in disposing of the Mexi-
can raids, and loss of American lives and
| property, reparation from the Mexican
| Government in the shape of moneyed in
demnity for the depredations committed by
the subjects of that Government on the
Texas border. Our Government will insist
upon this reparation, and in order to en-
| force the conclusion, it is admitted that the
Secretary of War will, if no other resource
is left carry out the determination by
Strengthening the American border line by
| attaching thereto another stretch of MeXi-
can territory. 1t is intimated that General
Mckenzie is to be transferred from Fort
Sill and take charge of the troops on the
Texas border. The Mexican Government
will shortly be presented with formal de-
msnd on the part of our Government for
due reparation or take the only alternative
of war along the border, with the purpose
of enforcing our demands.
James CoadingtOn was arrested yester-
day in attempting to dispose of ten 81, 900
bonds of the State of New Jersey, alleged
Trenton. Coddington intimated he had
this morning that an attachment had been
issued against him from the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia, which was in
the hands of United States Marshal Fiske.
He went to the Marshars Office with his
counsel and surrendered himself. A petit
tion was then presented to Judge Batch
ford, praying for the issuance of a writ of
habeas corpus, ordering the Marshal to
bring Mr.. Dana before a court and show
cause why he should be detained. United
States District Attorney Bliss asked for an
adjournment, and the matter was finally
set down for o'clock Tuesday next, Dana,
meanwhile, being allowed to go on parole,
being, however, techical courtesy of the
| Court.
With reference to the attachment against
Mr.. Dana, editor of the Sun, it appears
i that a subpoena was served a short time
ago on Mr.. Dana commanding his attend
ance in Washington to testify before the
! Grand Jury in the case entitled the United
States against Frederick H. Snyder. He
paid no attention to it, and hence the at
tachment was issued. He says that he
knows nothing whatever about the case and
that it is a trick to get him in Washington.
Letter from Oaks Ames.Jr
NEW YORK, April Solver Ames, of
Indiana, has addressed the following to the
Evening Post: " In the Evening Post of
the Both of March, l observe the following
paragraph: THE Hartford Post says that
it is said the executors of Oaks Ames have
discovered by his accounts that money he
claimed to have paid to Mr.. Colfax and
others was in fact used for his own pur-
poses at the time he was hard pressed by
his financial embarrassments.' As an ex-
ecutor of the estate of the late Mr.. Oaks
Ames, pronounce the above statement o
the Hartford Post to be untrue. On the
contrary, all the information in my posses
sion, both as an executor and an individual
convinces me that at the time Mr.. Ame
: alleged he paid the money to Mr.. Collar
and others he was not hard pressed b,
financial embarrassments. am also thor
= oughly convinced that the payments whicl
Mr.. Ames claimed to have made to Mr.
Colfax and others were made at the time
f in the manner, and for the purpose state
Il by him.
