About two o'clock two forty-pounder
shells crushed into the central bastion,
and crumbled a great portion Of it, APP
parently dismounting the gun which
had been so stubborn. Soon after
two O'Clock vhe infantry advanc-
ed briskly. The fourth brigade took
the left of the slope of the valley, press
ing on through the rocks towards Fort
Ali Musjid, while the third brigade took
the right side, Wien the last rocky
ridge on the left slope was crossed, a
rocky plateau followed it up nearly to
Ali Musjid rock. The skirmishers
pushed on steadily, firing briskly and
evoking sharp reply from the enemy,
who were studding the rock-streWn
slope. Meanwhile, M'Anderson's bat
terry, moving along the bed Of the
stream, had come into action. -Four
guns previously silenced came into ac-
ton, and the enemy developed guns
in new places.
In view Of the expected cooperation
from the two brigades dispatched on
the turning movement, as the sun was
setting, while rs yet much had to done,
the operations were suspended until to-
morrow, precautions being taken to pro-
tect our position, and our troops are
bivouacking where they stood. On our
left the third brigade las gained posi-
ton very close to the right flank Of Ali
Musjid, and indeed they were almost
within storming distance.
A later dispatch from London
says: A dispatch from Jamrood,
dated November 22nd says that
the Afghans have abandoned
Fort Ali Musjid, in the course of the
night, Gen. Tytler's brigade having oc-
cupied defle in their rear. We took
possession this morning without firing
u shot. and the disposition for advanc-
ing is now being made.
An advanced detachment Of the Sd
brigade moved forward until they found
themselves confronted by successive
lines Of intrenchmcnts. AT dusk, when
retiring in accordance with orders, they
were severely handled. Major Birch,
who commanded, and Lieut.. Fitzgerald |
were killed, and Lieut.. and over 20
Scpoys and 4 artilerymen wounded.
The advertiser says a private telegram
received i'll London estimated the killed
and wounded IN Khyber Pass at 300.
A dispatch from Thull reports that
the Khuriem column has formed great
camp at Fort Kapiyanga. The cavalry
and portion of the infantry and ar
tllery have pushed forward eight miles
further to Hazarapir. The inhabitants
Of the valley arc friendly and are bring
ing in supplies freely.
A dispatch dated Jamrood, Friday,
says the garrison.of Ali Musjid has bolt
ed precipitately, leaving arms, food, p
cannon. and 40 or 50 wounded. A con
siderable number of prisoners have
been taken, and it is reported the At
CHAN commander is among them.
Considerable firing was heard up the
pass this friday morning, in the dl-
rection Of Tytler's forces. 1t is be-
lieved the Afghans are not in condition
to make any further resistance.

Of emphatic comment by Secre-
tary Schurz, and he states that
this policy was adopted by the
department on the earnest adj
vice of the distinguished Indian fighter
and manager, Gen. Crook, who, as Il
result Of his long experience with the
Sioux, opposed any policy that would
force the Sioux, against their unani-
nous and determined protest, to stay

those powerful tribes; and the secretary
adds that SO far, at least, their loyal
conduct seems to have justified the
course adopted. Secretary. Schurz
challenges Gen. Sheridan to produce
evidence in support Of his imputationS,
and meanwhile remarks that it would
not have been asking too much of him
to inform himself a little better of the
circumstances before publishing his as
sertions in ar official document The
secretary also makes the following
comment on the remark of Gibbon,
that there is an entire absence of. re.
sponsbility in the Indian service: If
Gen. Gibbon, when writing his report,
was cognizant of specific cases Of wrong
doing he would have obliged the de-
partment by reporting them, and if,
after such report, the charges thus
made had not been enquired into and
the guilty persons held to their proper
responsibility. Sweeping statements
contained in his report would have
been adopted as justified. If he will
communicate such specific information
now, he will find there is no such lack
Of responsibility as he alleges. Several
employees in the Indian service, who
are now under criminal prosecution,
have discovered this at their cost.

THE NEW SLAVE TRADE.
Two italian Padres Arrested mt the In.
stance of the Society for the Preven-
tion of Cruelty to Children-They I'M
port Four Boys and One Invoice of
Hand Organs.
New York Times, 18Th.


Officer Chiardi. ofthe Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to children. re-
ceived yesterday morning from Castle
Garden significant telegram. "Our
friends have arrived Come immedi-
ately." The missiye was signed Nc
Phearson, and, as the recipient had
been expecting a telegram of that tenor,
and had arranged how to act under the
circumstances. he went at once to the
New Street police station and solicited
the favor Of a couple Of officers to
make the required arrests. The pro-
fessonal Italian padres-one, Raffaelo
di Grazia, aged AZ; the other, Luigi di
Baza, aged 35-had just landed at Cas-
tie Garden from the lnman steamer
CltyG Montreal with four boys, who
had, it is alleged in the complaint,
been sold to them by their
parents iii little Village about tN cntv
miles from Naples. The four lads AL
bear the same name, Fasio, but are not
all Of the same family. On going to
Castle Garden with the .otlicers, the
agent Of the society found that two of
the boys had already gone; the other
them, were taken into custody, and an
invoice Of hand-organs, harps and VIC
Inns. bought by Di Grazia in Paris, was
seized and impounded. The lads were
taken to the central office and the two
padres to the New street station house
and locked up, each following the Off
Ger with huge canvas bag of house
hold utensils swung over his shoulder.
1t was ali absurd procession,
and as the men had not
recently been washed, and had
the odor Of pair Of monkeys al the
central park, the ahable captain in the
station house did not question them
very infinitely. They were CURED up
in the same cell last night. Di Baza
explained IN broken English that he
did not know hi Grazia until he en-
barked at Havre and Di Grala. who is
swart, beetle-browed fellow, with an
undercurrent of savagery, declined to
explain at all. The latter is the same
hi Grazia who is alleged to have sold
twenty boys in the west, in November,
1S76. He affected his escape, and re-
turned to Italy for another invoice Of
incipient organ-grinders, in the importa-
ton Of which he has just been detected.
The lads will be relegated to the care OF
the society, after telling their story to
the police Justice this morning, and
the two padres will be arranged under
the statute. OF the former, Carmo

SEC. SCHURZ DEFENDS THE INDIAN
BUREAU.
A Sharp Answer to the Army Officers
by the Secretary of the Interior.

The following information was
telegraphed from Washington No
vember Goth; The secretary of
war received and referred to General
Sherman Il letter from the secretary Of
the interior sharply replying to certain
statements by Gen. Sheridan in the lat
ters annual report. Secretary SchurZ
says: These statements, as far as they
reflect upon the conduct Of the Indian
service, are of sweeping and some
what vague nature but it mast be as
have made them and permitted them
to become public had he not in his pos
session specific information concerning
certain agencies and certain branches
of the Indian service to which these
statements may be individually APP
piled. General Sheridan in his official
document gives it us his opinion
that with wise management the
amounts appropriated by congress
ought to be sufficient, if practically APP
piled to the exact purposes specified,
but that the reports Of the department
commanders would indicate different
result except i'll the case of the Red
Cloud and Spotted Tail bands Of Sioux.
He would certainly not have expressed
such an opinion without being ac-
ouainted in detail with the appropria-
tons made by congress and the specific
purposes for which they were intended.
It's also to be supposed that before
making the sweeping charge above
quoted, he was cognzant of specific
cases i'll which these appropriations
were not either applied at all or divert
ed from the purpose intended 10y con-
gross. You Will greatly oblige me by
requesting Gen. Sheridan 10 COM

be in his possession, giving nam es

stances which warrant the charge

The Turk i'm Euroue.

Whether the real intent of Russia is
TO drive the Turk out Of Europe or not,
history gives various such examples Of
the power OF the c0nqueror. One case,
lately referred In this connection, Is that
OF the Moors in Spain. The rule Of the
Moors was absolute for years, but they
were quite as much carpet>baggers as the
Turks. EveH when they had lost their
power they were thought TO be undeslra-
BILE elements OF society, and in 1901 an
order was given by Ferdinand and Isa-
bella that the entire Moorish population,
In default Of embracing Christianity,
should leave the soil Of Spain. never to
return. Ii Is not known how many Of
the Moors gave up their religion and
thus saved themselves from banishmenx
but during the reign of the king and
queen 3,0O0,U00 Moors left Spain. For
nearly 300 years the Moors had domina,

last. While there Is no evidence that
Russia has any idea, even II she were
likely 10 be permitted to do 80 by the
other powers, Of employing similar pol
icy towards the Turks like that OF Fer

yet 1t is practicable enough, and the su-

Saturday night. Sunday morning the
prisoner was taken ints the Forty

where Justice Otterburg at present pre-
sides, and where the fourteen or more
officers, having nothing else to do, make
valiant efforts to keep the doorways and
onter steps clear tor the dozen or two
persons who daily attend the court. The
| officer who steered the prisoner up to
the bar seemed to be slightly afraid of
him. He kept at very respectful dis

stand before the rail. The prisoner ner-
vously twirled battered felt hat on the
