DENT. r~.s.-s s'i ..-E.a.
NEW York, May 10.-Henry Clews was
examined by the Naval Committee to-day
He testified that he knew the President was
actuated in favor Of removing the Govern
ment accounts from Barring Brothers Il Co.
by reason Of the menacing attitude existing
between the United States and Great Britain
in consequence of the Alabama claims. The
President considered it safer for the Gov
eminent business and secrets to be confidcC
to faithful, patriotic citizens rather than tt
those who would be likely to join the enemy
in case OF hostilities. The President was o.
the opinion that it was the duty OF the Gov
eminent to give all honorable advantages in
its power to its own citizens in preference
to foreigners. Clews's house was engaged
in the new railroad enterprise, but so was
that OF Barring Brothers. Clews stated thai
he had paid no money to any officer OF the
Government or any other person for lnilu
ence. ...
