WASHINGTON NOTES.
BY the American Press Association.

By the American Press Association.
WASHINGTON, April 12-Special orders
have been issued from the War Department
directing Coils. j. G. Audenried, John G..
Bacon, and NJ. G. Cook, aides-de-camp to
Generals in the army, to repair to this city
from St. Louis, for duty at head quarters of
the army in Foreign Affairs Committee
to-day
Park was cross examined by Hewitt.
Park said his motive in interesting Schenck
in the Emma Mine, was not because he was
American Minister, but because he was an
honest and prominent man, and he knew
Schenck's name would strengthen the en-
terprise, and he always acted towards him
as if be had not been Minister. When
Schenck was spoken to about becoming a
director, he hesitated because he felt it
would be improper as he was American
Minister. Witness could not see any i'm
propriety in it.
The Secretary Of the Treasury, as soon az
he returns from Kentucky, will advertise
the sale Of SIS, 100000 worth of five per
cent. bonds, in which the Geneva award IL
invested; proceeds to be devoted to the
payment Of the awards of the court Of Ala
bama, and claims that the bonds will bt
.old for gold only. The awards Of thu
court of claims are in process of settlemen
and interest will be computed till May 1st.
and drafts made payable to the order o
claimants. 1t is expected they will be ready
tor transmission to the attorney of recort
by that date. The awards may also b'
called by persons authorized by transfer as
aignments or powers Of attorney duly exc
cuted by the claimants.

SAN Francisco, April 12.-Among the
passengers by the steamer Granads, are
H. H. Hill, agent at Sydney of the English
mail contractors; P. A. Jennings Commis-
sioner from New South Wales; Queensland,
Tasmonia, to tho Centennial, and Frank
Platt, diplomatic agent of the Samoan gov
ernment to Washington. The news from
Samoa is conflicting. A correspondence
published in the New Zealand Star of the
18th of March, says the natives became dis
satisfied on account of the demands for
funds made by Steinberger for himself,
certain American, retainers, King Malistoa
requested the U. 8. Consul, Foster, by let
ter to rid himself of Steinberger, he having
come to the conclusion that he was
afraid. Foster applied to Captain
Stevens of her Britanic Majesty's
Ship Barraconta, and meeting wss held in
which the King denounced Steinberger az a
liar and impostor, and as responsible for
the trouble between the government and
the foreign representatives. Steinberger
was then placed in confinement on board
the Barraconta, where be remained at last
advices.
Frank Platt, who left Samoa several days
before these reported occurrences, states
that there is no truth in the report, ai
when he left the King and Steinbergel
were on confidentional terms. He states
that the London Missionary Society is al
the bottom of the trouble, the Innovation
introduced by Steinberger, interfering with
their income; also certain eastern compa
nies, who have had a moneeoly of the trade
and feared the influence Of an American II
power on the Islands.
The United States Steamship Tuscarors
is expected shortly.
Platt is on his way to Washington will

Another Spanish Outrage.

News has been received in this city
of another brutal outrage committed by
the 'Spaniards in the City of Havana
on a n~aturalized American citizen. 1t
appears that DR.. Jose r. Simoni, aresi-
dent of this city, of about 55 years of
age, was a passenger ON board of the
steamer City of Havana, having taken
his passage from Progreso, in Mexico,to
New York, by way Of Havana. Upon
the arrival of the vessel at that port he
was invited to go ashore and pay a
short visit to the city. While descend
ing the ladder leading to a boat, and
hesitating if he should go, he was sud-
denly seized from behind by two police
officials, who had been on board the
City of Havana, and forced into a boat
of theirs. The old man struggled with
desperation to get away from his cap
tors, but did not succeed.
One of the officers of the City of Ha-
vana had the courage, however, to Jump
into the boat, and accompanied the
prisoner ashore. The old gentleman
was then taken before Capt.-Gen. Jov-
ellar, who Immediately released him.
He prudently rejoined his steamer, and
arrived in the city last night. United
States Consul General Hall came on
board the steamer, and acted with great
energy. The explanation of the whole
matter is that DIR. Simoni is the father
inlaw of the late celebrated Cuban pa
triot, Gen. Ignacio Agramonte. DIR.
Simoni has Received severe internal in
%juries. His body is covered with con-
tusions, and his clothes, during the
struggle, wers torn to rags.-NeW York.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Sept. 22.-The two
banl--robbers who for a few da - past
have been creating so much excitement
in this vicinity, are still at large, al
though frequently seen by farmers.
They have so far managed to elude the
pursuit of the officers who are securing
the country for them. The latest out
rage committed by them occurred last
night about midnight, when they went
to the farmhouse of James Thompson,
about 10 miles northeast of Lemars
Station, on the Illinois Central
Railroad, made Thompson hitch up his
horses, and said they wanted to go to a
place called Broken Kettle, about 20
miles north of this city. Thompson had
not returned to his home at a late hour
this evening, and fears are entertained
that he has beea murdered. Men are
out trying to trace his team, but at last
accounts had only succeeded in tracing
it but a short distance northward from
Thompson's residence. The two villains
are undoubtedly the notorious james
brothers.

FROM the second annual report of the
United States Hay-fever Association it
appears that no remedy for hay fever
has yet been discovered, and that sub
~stantial relief from the disease can be
obtained only by residence in an ex-
empt district during the period of its
continuance. This is usually from the
middle of August uni the first frost.
A list of more than ninety places in
North America which are more or less
exempt is appended to the report.
Among the measures for relief recon-
mended to those who. are unable to
leave home in order to. seek exempt
districts is the use of quinine, to raise
the tone of the system. 1t should be
taken, one or two grains with each
meal, for a week orten days before the
recurrence of the attack. " ,

To ascertain the time of the rendition Of
the services on account of which such pay
ment was made, the readeri is referred to the
opposite page, at folio IA, where We find it
stated that Mr.. Tilden ''aods also the cOun-
sci for said Receivers, and that he also act
ed as the principal counsel for the said .trst
mortgage bondholders, in relation to the
foreclosure proceedings hereiHbefore men
toned, and other proceedings connected
Herewith, and that such services had COM
meaced prior to the year 1859, and were
rendered from time to time during q period
Of upwards of three years thereafter
In other words, the services were render
ed in 1858, 1859, 1860 and 1861. No constd-
cradle part Of these services belong to the
gear 1862. The foreclosure proceedings in
which they were rendered had already
reached q decree in August. 1851,

SIructlou HAS Deen put ny tn6S 4 tWteS upon d
sentence from the answer which l have here
quoted, viz, the words, ."and that such
services had commenced prior to the year
1859, and were rendered from time to time,
during a period of upwards of three years
thereafter The argument of the Times is
that this sentence admits the continuance of
these services during the whole of the year
1852. I submit that eve il these words
stood alone, any fair mind would read them
as meaning that the services continued for
upwards of three years after they had com
menced, which is expressly stated to have
been before the year 1859. This is the true
construction of the words. q 1t is their mean

ascertain the meaning and intent Of this

look to the context and, indeed, to the
whole answer. g. @a5y+ #
BY referring to page II of this same an.

was terminated in a decree as early as Au.

actually sold in the month of March, 1862,
