MIR. Hilrs Reply to the charges.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-The reply of Mr..
Hill mentioned above says that each and
every charge and specification against him of
fraud in connection with the Bartlett Rob
bins " Co. contracts for work done on the
New York postoffice building is false and
malicious. He (Hill) had had no control
and had no personal knowledge of the details
of the work under this contract during its
progress When matter was presented to him
for final settlement the account was adjusted
in accordance with the evidence furnished
or such as could be obtained Hill says
that the figures presented in the exhibit in
support of the charges, when examined
in connection with the accounts of
the disbursing agent who made the payment
under the contract, will plainly show that
the accounts in the charges could only have
been prepared by some one utterly ignorant
as an accountant, or else determined upon
misrepresentation. The answer of Bartlett,
Robbins & Co. asserts that all work and la
received payment was duly and honorably
performed, and all materials supplied and
furnished were furnished as charged and
paid for that said contract was OF considera-
Bile magnitude and very difficult of execu-
ton by reason of frequent changes and
notifications made to suit the opinions and
ideas Of the then supervising architect and
these changes and details subjected them to
loss for which the United States has never
been called upon to make amends.

All Foreign Paupers Within the Meaning
of the Law To BE Returned.

WASHINGTON June 26.-The regular cabinet
meeting to-day was attended by all the men,
bers except Secretary Frelinghuysen and
Secretary Teller, both of whom are out of
the city. The principal question considered
was in relation to the alleged shipment of
pauper immigrants to this country from Ire
land by the British authorities. The result
of the deliberation on the subject was shown
in the subsequent action of the Secretary of
the Treasury, who telegraphed instructions
to the collector OF costums at New, York to
cooperate with the commissioners of immi-
grafton at that port to prevent the landing
OF all immigrants found to be paupers within
the meaning of the law. In the event such
pauper immigrants may have already landed,
as is reported to be the case with large
number shipped on the steamship Furnessia,
the collector is instructed to take all possible
measures to have them reshipped to the port
from which they came.

MADRID, Dec. 15.-The Ell Parveni news
paper publishes manifesto from Senior
Ruise Gorilla, Radical, dated London, Dec.
Ilth. The document is twelve columns in
length, and defends the military rising in
the Spanish army last August. It violent
~ attacks the Bourbons and monarchial
form OF government. and proclaims the
necessity of Spanish republic. 1t states
that the chief points of the Republican
programme are civil marriages, trial by
jury. abolition of slavery, assimilation of
the colonies to the mother country, and
reforms in every branch of the admins
tration. Senior Gorilla severely criticises
the policy of the restoration. He considers
a revolution in Spain inevitable, which is
certain to succeed and it will not be long
delayed. He concludes: A republic is the
only form of government that will allow
spain to enjoy order, morality, justice and
liberty. Whether the future struggle shall
be one of peace or one of arms, the day of
battle will be day of victory. Our motto
always will be "Never compromise with
Bourbons.''

SPAIN.

MADsID, Dec. liking Alfonso open
60 the cortes this evening with the usual
ceremony. In his speech the king de.
plored the late instruction among the
military. Referring to his recent journey
he declared his object was to pay the
debts of friendship and affection, and to
| strengthen the bonds of friendship be-
tween Spain and foreign nations. The
sole results of the incidents which occurr-
ed during the journey, he said, was to in
crease the cordially of the relations of
Spain with other countries and to pro-
woke on my return one of those mani
testations which are only possible when
the monarch and people are united in one
sentiment, and which sufficiently com
pensated me for the excessive grief l was
caused by the late instruction. Our rela-
tlons with foreign powers are excellent
You will find the testimony of this cor
diality in the note published in the Official
Gazette regarding the state of our rela-
lions with France, and in the visit of the
crown prince Of Germany, and also by the
beneficial effect produced by the protocol
signed with England to improve the COM
nercial relations between that country and
Spain, as well as by the negotiations now
proceeding for the conclusion OF treaties
OF commerce with Portugal.
Italy, Denmark and the Netherlands.
The Spanish commerce possesses men of
greater interests with the American CONT
nent. Our representatives to the differ
ent states Of South America have been in
structed to conclude commercial treaties
with the governments to which they ars
accredited. We have opened negotie-
tions with the United States which, if sue
cessful, will permit the products of Cuba
and Porto Rico to enter that powerful
market. Our relations with the Holy See
ara intimate and cordial. The speech
alludes to the reforms which will be INTRO
duced in the army and navy, and also in
the administration of justice, which will
secure trial by jury. Referring to the
colonies, it says: The suppression of pun
ishment By stocks and letters proves the
sincerity by which the law for aboiishing
slavery would be carried out. It adds, in
order to develop the productions of the
colonies the government is preparing
treaties of commerce and reforming
tariffs. It expresses a hope that
the budget be covered by the
ordinary resources, and concludes |
BY saying, after al these reforms are voted
