CLEVELAND, O.. August 22.-One OF the
distinctive features of the carnival on Tues
day next will be the reception and prone
made concert accorded by Apollo Com
mandery, No. !, OF Chicago, to the citizens
Of Cleveland. The Sir Knights OF Apollo
have been for month. preparing for this
event, and 1t is expected that this affair Will
give great ectat to the occasion. This COM
mandery is now one OF the largest COM
manderics in the United States, and was
organized at Chicago on May 20, 1915, UNI
der the name OF Apollo Encampment, No.
/, OF Knights Templar. Apollo Com
mandery expects to arrive in Cleveland on
Monday next, with more than 200 swords
in line, and in her ranks will be found
some OF her oldest Sir Knights, representa-
tive men OF the city Of Chicago. With
characteristic liberality the Knights OF
Apollo Commandery have secured" the en-
tire capacity OF the Forest City House for
the entertainment OF themselves, their la
dies, and the Grand Commandery OF Illi-
nos, there being with them the most cce-
brated band OF musicians in the West, and
likewise kinsley. the caterer, and retinue
of servants. The spacious carpet ware
rooms Of Sterling & Co., On Euclid avenue,
have been secured for the grand reception,
and the enterprise OF these gentlemen de-
serves to be rewarded by one Of the finest
asscmblages Of gentlemen and ladies ever
gathered together upon any similar occa-
sion in the West.

following has been received from Captain
Brown: General Benavides handed me
Yesterday the following message for trans
mission to YOU: "Colonel Gomez, command
ins ut Camargo, to-day communicates the
following telegram In an interview with
the commanding officer OF the State volun-
teers. who have arrived at Rio Grande City,
he informed me that he had received orders
from the Governor of Texas TO pursue
and arrest criminals wherever they may
be found, even though it be on
Mexican soil, in case they are not
promptly delvered~up by the authori-
ties / have answered him: i have
orders so pursue and arrest all persons
who may commit depredations on United
States territory and afterwards take refuge
on Mexican SOIL That relative to deliver
ing them up I shall confne myself strictly
to orders received from headquarters. |
also notify headquarters that there are at
present organizing in Texas, according to
the statements OF said commanders, $4,000
volunteers for the campaign against Mexico.
Escobedo, his sons, and san Monov, are
still in Davis. I beg, General, to call your
attention to the aforesaid assertions OF the
commanding officer OF the State volunteers
in his conversation with Colonel Gomez.
TSi"ned1 GENERAL BENAvIDES.' ~
/ telegraphcd at once to Governor Hub
bard your letter with Captain Halls. My
adrices do not agree with the latter's. My
orders prohibit the crossing on trails after
any sort OF raiders where there are Mexican
troops to arrest or pursue such. BenaVides
telegraphs that Hall proposes TO cross ut
Camargo, and says he is authorized by
orders from you to pursue and arrest all
criminals wherever they may be found, even
on Mexican soil. II this is 80, and he
crosses, unless my orders are changed he
will cross without aid from the regu-
lars. Hall also, according to my ad-
vices, stated to Colonel Gomez that
there are $4,000 volunteers organized
in Texas for the campaign against Mexico.
Such talk. il reported correctly, is likely to
stop the efforts on the part OF the Mexican
authorities TO capture and return the res
cued prisoners under the eNtradltion treaty.

\ NEW OUTLET FOR THE ERIE RAILWAY
The Hoosac tunnel is drawing to its portals
the railroads Of the continent, like the mag
net which it was intended to be. The latest
development, as reported, is scheme by
which the Eric railway is TO find an eastern
outlet for its freight through the tunnel
This involves the laying OF third rail on
the broad-sauge line and the construction
OF road from the State line to Science
tady. The Erie management in London
has agreed to the former, and the latter Is
said to be already in progress, iron having
been purchased and the grading soon to
begin. The tunnel enterprise has long
looked in this direction, which would give
Boston the advantage OF a competing line
to the West: and much is expected OF the
plan il carried out.-BoStOn Post.

Fraudulent Claims Against the Gov
ernment.

OPINION OF SOLICITOR ROBINSON AS TO THE
AUTHORITY OF TIE SECRETARY or THE
TREASURY IN SETTING ASIDE A FRAUDULENT
CLAIM AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT WHICH
HAS HEEN ALLOWED BY TIE SOUTHERN
CLAIMS COMMISSION.
NEW YORK, August 2j.-The Times has
q Washington special which says: "Soici-
tor Robinson, OF the Treasury Department,
gave an opinion of importance to the effect
that the Secretary ofstle Treasury is iusti-
fed in setting aside a fraudulent claim
against the Government, although the claim
has been allowed by the Southern Claims
Commission and money for its payment
appropriated by Congress. The opinion
was written in reference to claim OF Caleb
Tompkins, OF Georgia, for damages grow
ing out OF the war. The Southern Com
mission allowed it, reported it to Con-
gress according to law, and money was
app1 opriated for its payment, hut evidence
has recently come TO the Treasury Depart
ment to show that it is fraudulent.
Although there is no law authorizing the
Secretary TO refuse to pay claims OF this
character, still in the light OF the evidence
before him, which was discovered Subsc-
uuent to the decision of the Southern Claims
Commission, Solicitor Robinson is OF the
opinion that the Secretary can legally post
pone its payment until he can have reported
the matter to Congress, and let that body
repeal the bill authorizing the payment OF
claims"
