A CIRCULAR
Issued to United States Attorneys and

Justice.

The following circular has been sent to
United States attorneys and marshals:
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE,
Washington. March II, 1884.
To the District Attorneys and Marshals of
the United States
By direction of the President, | have to
inform you it is reported that certain persons
are aiding in the prosecution of heinous
crimes by shipping to foreign ports explosives
dangerous in the highest degree to life and
property. No proof has been adduced that
this rumor was founded on fact, and the
President cannot believe it is truth. The
honor of the nation, however, requires it
should not be open to the imputa.ion, ,unfound-
ed though it may be, of the slightest appear
ance of tolerating such crimes, whether to be
committed against our people or those of other
countries. Your attention is called to sec
tions 1858, 1854, 5355. 426S and 4279 of the
revised statutes of the United States which
which regulates the shipments of explosives,
and the punishment of those who infring on
their provisions. and you are instructed to be
dillgent in your efforts to prevent the often
ces described and to detect and prosecute
those who have or may commit them.

A PRETENDED PRIEST.
Deceives Several Prominent Catholic
Clergyman and Disappears.

BALTIMORE. March 18th.
The Roman Catholic clergymen of this city
are not little embarrassed over the peculiar
actions of IA supposed Asiatic archbishop
Shortly before Archbishop Gibbons went to
Baltimore from Rome last fall, he was visited
by an elderly, long bearded gentleman who
came with what purported to be credentials
from Cardinal McClosky and introduced him
self as Archbishop of diocese in Chaldea
He gave his name as Barjona and was be-
lieved to be an accomplished scholar. For
week he was a guest of Archbishop Gibbons
He said mass frequently in the cathedral and
finally received assistance through letter
from Archbishop Gibbons from many leading
people.
The money. as he stated, was to be devoted
to his oriental mission. From this city he went
to Cincinnati and thence to Rochester. There
he introduced himself to Bishop McQuaid, who
promptly gave permission to collect money
in the churches. While occupying place IN
the sanctuary during high mass few Gays
ago. his demeanor made several members OF
the congreg CATION suspect he was not dlghi-
tary of the church and after mass, they COM
municated their suspicious to the priests ne
soon disappeared from the pastorate win
some 5000 raised at a collection, leaving ms
baggage behind him. Two of the priests fol-
lowe and captured him at the ralirord depot
where he was made to refund the money he
was then allowed to go free The priests OF
ST. Josephs are all of the opinion that ne was
not a priest at all. What has become OF the
stranger is unknown.

THE GREELY RELIEF.
A Communication Received by the Sec.
retary of Navy.

The Secretary of the Navy has received a
communication from Capt. G. Mares. X. N,
embodying the views of himself, Major H..
W. Fielding, IL. NJ. A, and Capt. A. II.
Markham, R. n in response to an invitation
received for such suggestions As they might
make for the conduct of an expedition to be
sent for the relief of the Greedy party. In
their opinions, TO insure success, the main
relief party should consist Of two ships; one
of these should be engaged in advance in
the actual search, proceeding, if necessary.
as far north as Discovery Bay, while the 9TH
er should be used as a deposit ship, and
placed in such a convenient position that in
case of accident to the advance ship there
would be no necessity for her crew to retreat
to the Dutch settlement in Greenland. In
such an eventuslity the officers and men of
the ship destroyed would merely have to fall
back upon their consort, from which sledg-
ing expeditions could be dispatched in quest
of Lieut.. Greely and party. These vessels
should be prsvisioned for at least two years
The writers think there is great probability
that Lieut.. Greeley's party has already left
Discovery Bay. Adopting this view, one of
the ships should be dispatched as early as the
the first of May, 1884, certainly not later, to
a good haven in Greenland 10 push as early
as possible to Upernavik. so as to meet Lieut..
Greeley should he have been successful in
finding his way south to apv of the Danish
settlements. If he has not done so it is quite
possible he may have passed the winter some
where between Cape York and the lite boat
caves, therefore.i it is very desirable that this
region should be reached early in the season.
If Lieut.. Greeley's party is not found near
Cape York, it might then be well to reach
Cary Islands, and the coast line to the north
ward, every endeavor being made to commu-
nicate with the Esquimaux who will be sure
to have tidings of the absent party should
they be in that vicinity. The two relief YES
sells should time their arrival at Upernavik
about the first week of July, and in the event
of getting no tidings of Greelys safety,
should proceed to the northw ard in company.

THREATENING PROSPECT.
Trouble Among the Apache Indians
An Outbreak Feared.

TOMBSTONE, Ariz. March IL.
Geronnmi with his Apaches in charge of
Lieut.. Britton Davis, returned from Sonora,
bringing l25 cattle and 100 horses and mules
with Mexican brands. Tbey stole them last
Saturday. Rowland, the general inspector
of customs. attempted to seize the stock as
smuggled property. Lieut.. Davis refused to
recognize the demand, saying that the stock
was not in his charge, A demand was then
made on Davis citizen of the United
States to assist in making the seizure.
Make the attempt" he said, land you'll
see what I'll do" Geronnomi declared he
would die before he would give up the stock,
and he would put 200 Apaches on the war
path in As hours. He despatched runners to
the reservation about midnight, and the In
dians broke camp taking the stock. Lieut..
Davis says the situation is serious, and that if
the demand is insisted upon it will result in
one of the biggest Apache out breaks ever
known.

STAR ROUTE INVESTIGATION.
Pratt and Cook Before the Committee
The Investigation Probably

Pratt, the contractor on the star route be-

denied absolutely that he ever made the
statement to Inspector Woodward of the post
Office depar rtment concerning Mr.. Ellis with
anv contract. No such transaction had ever
occurred with Mr.. Ellis.
VIM. A. Cook continued his testimony
before the Springer committee. He thought
there was no necessity for the police court
proceeding which continued about two
months. For this service, the witness said
Bliss received 5000 of $1,000, he himself
claiming that his services were Of the same
character as those performed by Bliss, pre-
pared bill for s2500 for about the same
period. The trial of those indicted, Cook
also believed, was unnecessarily protracted.
and said the length of the trial was due to
the conglomerated Indictment.

absence of the counsel' was asked.

Piled. Mr. Bliss returned to New York to

expenses he made charges for railroad fare

York to Washington several times. / re-
quired al one time what was to be allowed
Bliss. and was startled to learn he was Ito
get 500 day. Afterwards, in his expense
account, found the charge for washing.
1t was remarkable that an attorney should
charge in his expense account for the wash
ing of his linen. The wituese has said that
the appointment of Bliss was wholly a po-
litical one. interposed Van Alstyne.
He would not like to assume the response
bility for that statement, suggested Stewart.
will assume the responsibility for it.
the witness replied
The witness referred TO his testimony
yesterday, and said he had omitted TO
say that before President Garfield was shot,
the attorney general had received anony-
nous and threatening letters. Cook asked
to be excused until tomorrow that he nigh
appear before another committee today.
what more do you want of the witness,
Mr.. Chairman? asked Steward, he has al
ready told all that he knew. and more too.
You don't mean that, interposed Cook.

A BATTLE IMMINENT.
British Troops Advancing upon the
Rebel Csmp-A Large Force of
Rebels.

SUAKIM, March u.
The British force reached Baker Pashs's
position at Seariba, Tuesday, at midnight,
and went into camp. Abyssinisn scouts re-
ported that Osman Digms was in position
and surrounded by large force of rebels.
After dinner today at about one O'Clock the
British started for the rebel camp. They are
without entrenchments. Five thousand of
the rebels have been sighted and 8 battle is
imminent. The enemy are - miles distant
from Suskim.
At 2.20 A. NJ, the British have taken q
position one mile from the rebels. The at
tack will be made at daybreak with seven
gatling guns. The cavalry will probably
fight dismounted. Hords of rebels are hid
den in trenches and pits. British scouts are
frequently fired on.
