referring to the subject, says: what Is
said in order to make it a matter of in.
terest for the government not to inter.
fere with the expedition is, that there is
an agreement between parties that, in
the event OF success, the United States
shall dictate its own dividing line
between Mexico and this country. In
deed, 1t is also stated that a further
secret agreement exists whereby il is
proposed to cede TO the United States
certain parts Of Mexico, if not the ulti.
mate and complete annexation of the
Mexican territory. This, how
ever, is kept very quiet by the flibusters,
because, II 1t became generally known
Lerdo was negotiating to part with
Mexican territory, it would ~jeopardize
bis chances Of reinstatement. OF course,
these plans and theories are being
agreed upon, it can not be said that any
OF this government is a party
thereto.

OF NOTICE.

The Nation contains the following ut
terances with regard to the departures
from the civil service reform programme
1T is worth notice hat nearly all the
departures from the civil service reform
programme which have occurred under
the new administration have becnin Mr..
Keys department. We have called at
~tention in these columns to two or three
OF them, but these we're triles compared
to the last, which was absolutely dis
grsceful-we mean the appointment Of
the notorious George a. Butler as q
special agent. 1t was so bad and often
sive, and the press was so unanimous in
condemnation of it, that it vas promptly
revoked. But there never was any ex-
cuse for its beitg made. Buffers career
has been a notorious one. He was a
disreputable person before he was,
through his uncle's influence, made con-
sui general in Egypt in 1863. In Egypt
his conduct was so outrageous that
General Lorring was directed to make
a report on him, which found him
guilty Of selling vice consulships for
cash, Of going about the country with
dancing girls, of public drunkenness and
disorder. de had also a shooting ARRAY
in the streets of Alexandria, and, in
short, his behavior was so scandalous
that Indignant circumstances from the
American merchants, travellers and mis-.
sionaries in Egypt OF last procured his
recall. What his career has been during
the last four years we do not know, but
the Tribune hints that it has been by no
means respectable. His recommends
ton BY Dorsey and Spencer was in keep
ing with the character of these disrepu-
table carpet. baggers; and we are glad
to observe that Cox and Sayler, the two
Democrats who recommended him, are
already referred to in party papers as
two suicides" 1t looks as if Mr.. Key
consciousness Of the delicaey Of his
position we're leading him into u%nfortu.
nate attempts to copciliate the old cor
rupt Republican chiefs, over whom the
public has been hoping it had achieved
a victory. Mr.. Tyner, after failing to
carry Indiana" has been kept in the
postofice, and allowed to distribute pat.
ronage on the old system to please Morton
and Cameron, and G. H. Butler was
fshed out Of the mud and put in a place

The Last Siege of Gibraltar.
LnrEcrIs Mannzinn for Inne

HH ~ &ANNI
The memorable, in some respects, Of
all the fourteen sieges to which Gibraltar
has been subjected was the last, called
The great siege" one Of the mighty
struggles Of history, which began in the
year 1879 The famous Gen. Elliott was
commander Of the fortress. Spain, in
alliance With France aud Morocco, en-.
deayored TO surprise Gibraltar; but a
Swedish ship gave Elliott The alarm. The
garrison comprised but five companies
Of artillery, and the whole force Was less
than $500 men. The enemy's force was
1900. The siege was commenced by
the blockading Of the port, and a camp
was formed at San Rogue with the de-
sigu Of starving ont the garrison. When
the English Governor resolved TO open
fire upon his ~besiegers, a lady in the gar
rison fired the first shot. Never did 8
siege war rage more furiously than did
this for nearly three years. The garri-
son vas often reduced to sore straits for
lood "a goose was worth a guinea" and
Elliott tried upon himself the experiment
Of living upon four ounces a day for a
week. Exciting stories are told of the
privateers that ran in, amidst terrible
dangers, with provisions, aud of the
storms which threw WELCOME wood aud
cork within reach Of the besieged. The
rock at one time would assuredly have
been taken had il not been for Admiral
Rodney, who, sailing of the strait, cap.
tured a small feet Of Spanish war ships
and merchantmen, and clearing the strait
Of b%esiegers, brought his prizes into port.
But all danger was not yet ayerted; Glib.
raItar was again blockaded; scurvy broke
out ia the garrison, aud Morocco refused
her harbgrs to English ships. The enc
crept closer and closer, but relief coming
every now and then enabled the English
still to hold out. The bombardmenti
y3re fearful to endure. THE city wa:
almost destroyed; scarcely a house
habitable, and those left standing pierced
By shot and she'll" At one time the
garrison fell 10 plundering the town; FL
Hot shot the leaders in this outrage
The long agony, fall Of terrific combstl
aud irightful pr%ivatious, ended By tie
lnal abandonment Of the siege in 1883
Il IN that year the English had to max,
up their minds hal they must let q
their American colonies, they had a
least the consolation that Gibraltar wa
still theirs.

THE RUSSIAN FLEET.
The Cause Of Their Departure from
American Waters.

New YORK, May Il -The world says:
Some days since a statement was made
that the Russian fleet LEFT this port in
response to a request from Washington
to. that effect. There is trustworthy
authority for adding that this request
was in the form Of an intimation from
Secretary Evarts to the Grand Duke
Alexis, Minister Schisckin and Admiral
BoutskoG, that it wa the desire of the
President that the Russian vessels should
not longer remain in american waters,
aud that the state department preferred
to make this intimation privately, hop
ing that it might hui be spared the ne.
cessity Of making the request officially
and formally from the state department
The Russian commanders at once made
preparations to leave, and it is men.
toned as a significant fact in the same
connection, that, although Grand Dukes
Alexis end Constantine and Admiral
Boutakoif attended the reception at ex.
Governor Morgan's house, they remained
but a short time, and rather conspicu.
ously took their departure before the ar
rival Of the President and his party.
The Tribune says from information
obtained it has reason to believe that the
Russian feet is now keeping watch along
the coast for the purpose Of interceptinp
vessels having munitions Of var on
board for Turkey, and it is stated The
Russian commander has been informed
that a steamer would soon leave tht
vicinity of New Haven with a large cargo
for Turkey.

Members of the New York Assembly
Assaulted by Workingmen.
They are Obliged to Escape by Rear
Doors to their Hotels, Followed
by Squads Threatening
Vengeance.
The Cause u Failure 10 Override
the Veto by the Governor of
an Appropriation of
SI,OOO.OOO.

New York, May l9.-On taking a
vote in the State assembly at Albany
last evening there was a very unusual
scene. The question was the passage Of
an appropriation bill Of one million dol
lars to complete the new capitol build
ing. The %workingmen Of the city had
been given to understand that it would
be passed, even if the governor vetoed it.
The governor vetoed it and great excite.
ment was o%ccasioned thereby. Two hours
were consumed in calling the roll, and
a requisite two-thirds vote to override
the veto was wanting. On this announce
ment the crowds in the galleries and in
the lobbies yelled and booted at those
who voted against the workiDgmen's in
%terests, and as some Of the members ap.
peared outside several were beaten and
driven back by the yelling crowd and
were obliged to escape by rear doors to
their hotels. A large body of police ar.
rived subsequently and drove the crowd
from the capitol and from the governors
house, which was threatened. A large
crowd then went to the Delevan aud
other hotels, threatening to mob the
members and in some cases following
the members to their rooms and threat.
euing vengeance. Finally the police in
great numbers managed to dispense
them. No such scene ever occurred in
Albany.
