THE 6. A. H.
Special Camp.Fire Meeting Of the Army
ofthe POtOmac-Speeches by Gen.
Grant and Others.

A special camp fire of the Department of
the Potomac. G. A. Il. was held at Masonic
Temple tonight, in enumeration of the
operations against Vicksburg, Gen. Joseph
Il. Hawley presided. and all posts of ;he
Grand Army in this city were represented.
Among the guests were Gen. Grant. Pres.
Arthur, Sec. Lincoln. Gems. Logan, Vsuoliet,
Raum, Doubledy, Dudley and Hszen, Rep.
Mckinley, Judge Lawrence and othere.
Gen. Grant. walking with the aid of 3
crutch, entered the hall at the head of the
invited guests. He was greeted with the
Widest applause, the assemblage rising and
sending forth cheer after cheer, and contin-
uing the ovation until the general had taken
his place on the platform. Gen. Hawley
made brilliant address followed by Gen.
Logan, who in the couse OF his remarks,
made several uncomlimentary allusions TO
Fitz John Porter. After the assemblsge had
sung Marching Through Georgia" led by
Gen. Hawley, Gen. Grant was called for. and
on coming forward was greeted with three
times three cheers. He said he was thankful
for the welcome accorded him. He felt called
on to give some details of an accident with
respect to the orders issued to him (Grant)
by Gen. Hallock to retire from before Vicks-
burg. The orders he received from Wash
iugton were to turn back from the Mississippi
river and go down that river and cooperate
with Banks in his operations at Port Hudson
until that place should be reduced, the two
armies to then move together ap the river
and take Vicksburg. This order issued by
Hallock had the sanction of the president and
secretary of war, but when the officer who
coined it delivered it, he said to him: Gen.
Hsllock had spoken little too late.
After he got to Vicksburg Lincoln had writ
ten him an autograph letter, characteristic,
he said, of the war, in which he said that
he (Grant) crossed the Mississippi below
Vicksburg. He thought he should have gone
down the river, hut that he saw that he (Lin-
coln) was wrong and Grant was right, and
he wished to offer an apology. Gen. Grant
added: 1--WE have had men to occupy the
position he did who probably made more
mistakes but never admitted them"
Gen. Raum followed Grant. after which
the President and Secretary Lincoln rose to
leave, but the crowd called loudly for a
speech from the President, who finally came
to the front and said he had not come to the
meeting to speak, but simply to listen to the
story of the grand campaign which culmin-
ated in the battle of Vicksburg, from the
lips of those who took part in it. The Union,
he said, would honor them and their memory
forever. He was glad to be present to ex-
press to them, not only as chief magistrate of
the country they had saved, but as individual
gratitude of the country.
Secretary Lincoln was loudly called on to
speak but did not come forward.

the publication of the following facts Two
months ago my attention was called to the

ulcer on her shoulder at least five inches in
circumference. angry painful, and giving the
patient no rest day or night for six moths. 1
obtained supply of Swift's Specific, which I
persuaded har to try. She has taken FIVE bot
ties, the result Of which is that the ulcer 10
entirely healed up nothing remaining but a
small scab. not larger than ones finger
NAIL and her general health is better than for
five years past. She seems to be perfectly
cured. I consider its effects wonderful-al-
most miraculous.

THE CUBAN TROUBLE.
Cuban Arrested at Key West-Consul
General Resigns-SeriOus Accounts
From the Interior.
WARRINGTON, April |

WASHINGTON, April IL.
Information has been received here of the
arrest by the United States authorities at
Key West, Fla, of Cuban named Aurelio
Mayoll, who arrived at that port yesterday
morning, on the steamer Hutchinson. The
arrest is based on a telegram from the gov
ernor general of Cuba to the Spanish consul
at Key West, saying Mayoll was coming to
America to kill him. Mayoll was taken be-
fore a magistrate and held to answer. A
cablegram has been received by the secretary
of state from Adam Badeau tending his resig-
nation as consul general at Havana.
New YORK. April IL.
letter from Havana, dated April 9Th,
saws: Serious accounts from the interior
a. to the movements of large parties of
bandits and of the government troops con-
tinue to come in. Yesterday battalion of
regular troops was sent from this city to
Vaelta Arriba, and for few days the coast
in the neighborhood of Havana has been occu-
by detachments of troops. The government
is apparently waking Hp to the situation.
Private accounts from Santo Domingo say
that the Cuban refugees there are in posses
sion of large amounts of money and are pre-
pairing for landing in Cuba in combination
with parties here. This is probably the
cause of the extraordinary movements of the
troope. 1he government IN spite OF aii these
facts pretends to rdicule all the reports of
the threatened invasion. The minister of the
colonies has made new loan of $4,000. 600
with the Hispano Colonial:Bauk of Baccelono
pledging in return daily payment of Sl5,-
900 from the income of the Cuban custom
houses. The Cuban treasury will have to
pay one per cent. commission on the loan
and an interest of 90 per cent. per annum.
This measure has caused great indignation
here and has added to the state of profound
alarm and general discomfort prevailing, as
the loan and contract made with the same
bank in 1880 are considered one of the calam-
ities which brought about the present state
of affairs. By virtue of the former loan.
through which the Banco Hispona Colonial is
realizing an immense profit, the burden Of
which Cuba alone has to bear, the bank is
already receiving s33. 900 daily from the in
come of the Cuban custom houses. pan
ic is reiging IN the markets Merchants
in order to sell drafts have to submit to a
large loss on the current rates of exchange,
which are continually declining. Some Of
the largest houses cannot sell their bills Of
exchange at any rate.

A CHASTITY DUTY.
Work of Removing the Bodies from the
POcahOntas Mine.

LYNCHBURG. Va, April IL.
The work of removing the bodies from the
Pocahontas mine is progressing. Sixteen
have thus far been taken out, only six of
whom have been identified. Most of them
are horribly mutilated, some with heads of,
others with arms and legs torn from the
sockets, and still others with their entrails
torn out An arm and leg were found in the
main entrance, but the body to which they
belonged could not be found.
A thrill of horror passed through the crowd
in front of the mines as the rescuing party
brought out the charred remains Of miner
with his er-bucket clasped in his arms.
He was probably just partaking of his mid
night meal when the explosion hurled him
into eternity. Several were found with picks
in their hands, and the position of their bod
les indicates that death was instantaneous.

The Proposed Telegraph.

Norvin Green made an argument before
the House committee on post offices today in
opposition to the postal telegraph. If, how
ever, the government was determined to
enter the business he thought it ought to buy
out the existing lines and manage the work
exclusively in its own way. He also said
thas if the Senate committee bill becamei,a
law the Western Union Co. would not be-
come bidder for the contract for which that
measure provides, but if the rates originally
proposed in the Hubbard bill should be
adopted then the Western Union would bid.

Special to the Kennebec Journal
GARDINER, April IL.
The first game Of polo ever played on
skates in Kennebec countyicome off in Gardi-
ner this evening at johnson Hall 1t being
novel game here the hall was well filled,
and close attention was shown. The con-
testing clubs were the Almedas of Bath and
the Lewistons. The game was a deeply in
teresting one and was hotly contested. 1t
was the first time these clubs had ever met.
The clubs were constituted as follow
LEwIsToNs.
First Rusher-A. L. Furbush,
Second Rusher-F. f. Flynt
Point Cover-Bert Cavis
Goal Cover-Geo. Harrison
Goal Keeper-Archie Wakefield.
ALMEDAs.
First Rusher-H C.. Dunning
Second Rusher-B. F. Guthrie.
Point Cover-F. A. Norton.
Goal Cever-James Lincoln.
Goal Keeper-H. A. Donnell.
W. E. Kicker and Ezra Nevins acted q.
judges for the Lew istons; Harry Stetson and
anofy HOugntOE lot tne Aimeuas. Ref-
cree, Tom Haggett, Bath.
The game commenced al GIG At the
sound of the whistle the fun commenced, and
the players made rush for the ball. The
goal was won by the Almedas in, five min
utes.
The second goal was a short and decisive
one, and was won by the Lewistons in one
minute.
The third goal was won by the Almedas.
Time, three minutes.
The Lewistons won the fourth goal after a
sharp contest. A foul was declsred at the
end of five minutes, but one minute in ad-
dtion was consumed in finishing the goal.
The fifth and last goal was the most inter
esting of any, as or it depended the result Of
the game. 1t took but one minute for Cavis
of the Lewistons to send the ball into the
goal of the Almedas.
The Lewistons were declared the victors
amid much applause. Time, 22 minutes.
This club won the game with ease. Whether
because their opponents could not or would
not play does not appear. Bert Cavis did
some extra fine playing, winning all three
goals for the Lewiston. One of the players
got heavily thumped on the jaw and another
was seen rubbing his shoulder with much
energy. A special train brought the excur-
sIonists from up river.

WASHINGTON, April IL.
Mr. Ellis of Louisiana, from the committee
on appropriations reported back the Senate
bill aut thorizing the secretary of the navy to
offer reward of s25, 900 fer rescuing or
ascertainiDg the Greeley expedition, and the
bill was passed
Mr.. Hopkins called up resolution declar-
ing the charges against Boynton not sustained
by the evidence, and that there is no grounds
for any action by the House. He stated that
the committee reporting the resolution did
not desire to debate it.
Mr.. keifer, the author of the charges, was
present. but did not see fit TO make speech,
and the resolution was adopted without oppos-
ition.
Mr.. Henley of California, from the com
mittee on public lands, reported bill for
feiting the Northern Pacific land grant.
The House then went into committee on
the pension appropriation bill.

propriates an amount estimated at S66, ,000,
600. The appropriations for the current
year were Sl26, ,000, 900, of which only S25.-
900 were expended during the first half
of the year.
Mr.. Cameron of Illinois spoke in opposi-
ton to that part of the bill which reduces the
salary of pension agents, maintaining that
under the reduction no agent could afford to
do the business of the office, and the result
would be to delay and embarrass the pay
ment Of pensions.
Mr.. Kefer Of Ohio advocated the policy of
raising the limit of the fee allowed to law
years in certain pension cases.
Mr., Hart of Ohio advocated such change
in the pension laws so as to provide for the
granting of service pensions.
MIR. Rogers of Arkansas gave notice that
he would at the proper time move to strike
out the second section, which limits the law
yer's fee to $40 in cases of arrears of pay,
lost horses and bounty lands.
After further debate and without action
the committee rose.
The speaker laid before the House mes
sage from the President, submitting special
estimate from the chief of ordinance for
permanent annual appropriation OF 81 800, 900
TO provide the necessary amount for sea coast
fortifcation. The President says:
"In presenting this estimate do not think
it necessary to enumerate the considerations
which make it of the highest importance that
there shall be no unnecessary delay in enter
ing on the work which must be commensurate
with public interest to be good, and which
will take much time
The message was referred, and the House
took a recess until 7.30.
At the evening session the House passed
five pension bills and then at TO- 05 the House
adjourned.
