OPPOSITION TO PRESIDENT HAYES.

The Diario de la MdTinS New York cores
popdent writes the following under date Of the
lth instant
1.-THE opposition TO President Hayes policy
by some of tho Re biicans has commenced
in Maine, where the State Convention was
celebrated on Thursday last With a numerous
attendance. Governor Conner was unanimously
re elected Candidate, and the programme adop-
!ed shows that the Republican party sees with
alarm the Democratic consolidation Of the south
aud the suppression Of tho political liberty Of
action in that section Of the country it declares
that as the President was elected by a tribunal
of which the Democrats formed part, it was NOS
noble on their part to say that there was fraud
in the election it approves of local sell. govern
ment, reform of the Civil Service, protection to
industry, and is opposed to cession of territory
to the railway companies and abrogation Of the
existing laws on navigation.
LEX Governor Chamberlain presented a mo.
tion in favour Of the policy observed by the
A lmioistra ion towards The South, and Mr..
Boufelle being against il, a debate ensued 10
which Mr.. B ,aine toak part and ssid that he
was neither in favour Of lor against tho motions,
and b4ggcd that bo'h should be Lift on tue
table. which /, quest was complied with.

west sssti0n Of cable, belonging to the Ipterna.
tiOnals Ocean Telegraph Company, New York,
] vas at . loss to Acco unit for the many faults
which were found to exist 10 the cable, within
. distance of 20 knots from Punta Rosa.
In every instance VIII ERE the faults occurred
the cable had the appearance Of having been
bitten by some kind Of fish.
The iron sheltering had been forced aside,
and the serving around the core appea red to
have been bitten through, and an indentation
about the size of a small pea was observed in
the core itself, but in no case did the indentation
visibly extend to the upper conductor of the
cable. I examined these holes carefully with
a lens, but failed to see anything resembling a
hony substance or tooth adhering to the percha.
On thu opposite side Of the cable the iron
wires were found crushed and fattened for q
length Of about in. Or 4 in. At the time we
designated these faults "mashes." On account
OF their crush ed appearance.
I cannot remember exactly after this lapse of
time how many mash s" I cut out, but I
think there were at least eight, all, moro or
less, having the appearance above described,
and these were taken ont at distances several
mics from each other, and within IS miles If
Punta Rosa, where the water varies ia depth
from two to seven fathoms.
The only conclusion ] could come 10. and
tbie opinion was shared by Lieutenant Com
mander Newman, U. S. N, and Go oncl
Eeiss. Gen orAl Superintendent, International
Ocean Telegraph Company, who was with ne
on this ca pedition, was that the " masbss' nad

WAR ATROCITIES.
(F9om Tie I3mes.)

But when all due deduction has been
made for the rival Fabrications of the COM
bntants, there can be little doubt, we fear.
that the contest will have o bad pre-emi-
nence for the infamies committed on both
sides. The Cossacks have been accused
Of p'rpetrating dreadful crimes. The
Russian authorities ut Bella, as Colonel
Wellesley says in a telegram to Lord
Derby, emphatically deny that accusation:
and they add that, as the Turks have aban.
doned their villages before the approach
OF the Russians, the preparation of such
atrocities has been impossible. Be that
statement true or ialSe, infamies have been
committed by some persons, for nothing
con explain away the evidence of the Cor.
respondent at Sbumla, who saw and smoke
10 the wounded women and children.
Ihe- Bulgatianr, there can be no doubt,
have either in the abseoce or the presencs
OF the Russlans, been guilty Of murderous
ana coward'y outroges. 1t is 20 excuse
10 say. as some OF their friends do, that
the criminals are BuIgarians who had fed
from Turkish cruelty and havs returned
10 aVeDge their wrongs. It is equuIly
I0tlie TO plead that The massacres Of Turks
are so many acts G. vengeance for the in
oc'cri6able horrors Of last year. Such
crlme are at the BEST Outbrrsts Of sheer
eayngery, and the Russians will BIS exnect-
ed 10 spare no rainsto puoish the wretch
es by whom they have been committed.
Ihe Emperor AIexaa2er must erase it to
be understood that>iAc life and Tho Lonour
q a Mussu'man are rs sacred as those of o
Cbilstlan, and that The swift cnastisement
Of o Court-multial will await any Bulgeri-
on who may be convicted of ,attackicr
elmer Whether the atrocities committed
on inc Turkish side equal those perpe-
trsted by The BulgaliOns is a question
which it is not possible TO answer, but
.hefe can be no donbt the Turks have
Deen fur from guiltIess. Cur Militory

the Grand Duke Vladimir, while making
a reconnaissance, saw many cases of
Turkish atrocities in Bulgaria A.; and Sir
Arnold KembaIl confirms the report that
part of the Russian forces at Bayuzid
were massacred after they had surrender
ed. BAshi-B8zoUks are accused by our
own correspondents of shameless baIbari-

such troops is ausweiable for their con-
duet. The Turkish Government will
be expected to punish the excuses Of

tbs Russian Government is Justly held

degree for its friendly Bulgarians. II both
Governments do not put forth strenuous
efforts to repress the spirit of savagery,
this contest will become the most horIi-
bic war of modern times.
The Strangtst and most painful matter
in connection with this brutal war is that
The brunt of it is really falling on the rural
population. and chiefly on the women.
The roads are literally liued with fugi-
lives, going they know no. where, but
lyirg from the tpyrors Of freed ard foe
alike. The Turkish population have a
double cause for dread,-IeprisaIs aud
vengeance from the BuIgarians or tie
speAr-poiats of the Cossacks, who, from
what we hear of their doings north oC
the Balkans ere not likely to be very

giuary. An absolute paoic reigns through
tie land, ard every railway station is
booked with bullock carts bringing IN
tngilives. Every peasant, every shop
keeper who can get arms, arms himself
and were it not q matter Of life and
death for these poor people one could
not repress q smile at the Anticipated Cd
weapons they have apparently unearthed
and furnished up. But they are not all
armed, for I can merton one or two
places where the MOslems are unalrned
aud the Bulgarians all armed This is
the case at Jamboli, while at Karabunor
and others the Moslems alone are arm
ed. Taking this into consideration, and
adding another ingredient for mistrust in
the shape of hundreds of Greeks aud
Jews, scattered through the villages and
hated equally by both Moslem and Bull.
garian. l think the causes for this ter
Tor and alarm are Sufficiently plain, 1t
is also painful to see the magnificent
crops, all ready for carting, left rotting
10 the fields for hundreds of miles. The
terror is so great that they have not
tie heart to 60 and gather them in, be-
sides which every kind of cart or bullock
Wagon is away with fugi1ives. 1 am
afraid we shall learn of terrible things
happening on the long, solitary country
roads to these unfortunate people. How
many of them will ever revisit their de-
serted homes Times.
