4 special from Washington City 10
the New York Times says that some
time during the last political campaign
n paragraph was pnblishol in which it
was said that Gen. Garfield had during
the war preferred charges of serious
character against his old commander,
Gen. Rosecrans. Charles 4, Dana made
the original charge. This brought out
note from Gen. Garfield to Rcsecrans,
in which he distinctly said he had never
been untrue to his commander in word
or thought, Dana or any other liar to
the contrary. Mr.. Dana, to sustain the
original statement, has printed a conf
Dental letter to Salmon T. Chase during
The war. TIE letter, if genuine, gives
the direct lie to Garfield, and for that
reason has attracted much attention
here, az it shows him in the light of
double dealer and false friend. II has
irritated General Rosecrans, who is n
member of this congress. He says that
if he had known Of the letter Mt the
time he would have General Garfield

1t vas learned last night from
quite reliable source that the work
men who have been engoged in the
construction Of the o. p. r. r. at
Yaquina Bay have all been discharg-
cd and the work discontinued. They
were buildinga a wharf, and ware
house 200 feet long by 30 feet wide.
at Ford's Point, which place is three
miles above Newport, but owing to
some reason which could not be
learned, the construction work ah-
ruptly slapped about the first of
March. The employers numbered
over fifty men including the Chinese.
Some of them it is claimed have re-
rurned to this city. Portland Ieze-

March lst, % days out from Yokohama
bound for Puget Sound in ballast.
Tkey were in the boat when she was
lowered and owing to the rough sea got
adrift and it was impossible TO regain

next morning. Another boat with two
men which was launched at the same
time, got adrift and was soon out of
