ASPINWALL IN ASHES.
sRurncd to the Ground by the CO.
IOm1ian Insurgents.

A dispatch from ASpinwall says that the
city was burned by the Colombian insur-
gents under General Aizpurn. Fearful that
Aspinwall would be recaptured by the gov
ernmcnt troops they were determined that
the conquest should be barren one They
1ecidedto destroy the town and set fire to it in
several places The fire spread quickly The in
habitants were panic-stricben and abandoned
their houses. The United States and British
cousuiatcs were among the first buildings to
be burned. No structure of any Importance,
except the Pacific Mail wharf, escaped the
flames.
The United States sloop.of-war Galena,
which was lying there sent boats ashore with
men to protect property. The inhabitants
fockcd round the sailors imploring assistance.
Many founl refuge on the Galena, and she
was crowded. with unfortunate people.
The condition of the inhabitants was sad.
They wandered about the streets helpless and
shelterlcss. They hal nowhere to 20, as the
railroad property and the canal property at
CriSpol were the only buildings saved.
The shipping was unin jured and every
available vessel was crowded with men and
women.
General Aizpuln, after the town was laid
in ashes left for Panama. He declared he
would shoot every American there. He hal
a large party of insurgents encamped outsil lie
Panama.
The Aspinwall difficulty was discussed at
conference in the afternoon b tween Secreta-
ries Bayard and Whitney, Mr. Adee, of the state
department, and Commodore Walker being
present.
Mr.. Bayard, at the request of Mr.. Whit
ney, defined the treaty responsibilities of the
United States in this matter. Mr.. Bayard
went to see the President. and late in the
evening an informal meeting of the Cabinet
was held at the White House, at which the
matter was fully discussed.
The conclusion reached at this meeting was
that, while this government is not called
upon to take cognizance OF internal broils at
Panama, yet it is by treaty guaranteed free
AMI uninterrupted transit across the Isthmus.
Acting upon this conclusion. Secretary Whit
ney tclcgraphcd orders to the cOmmandant of
the Brooklyn navy yard to get all the avail
able marines at the yard in readiness for inn
mediate departure, and to provide also some
Calling guns and men to handle them.
Aspinwall, or Colon, as the French call it,
is tn chief town of the United States of Co
lombia, and the Atlantic terminus of the
Panama railway. 1t is situated on the
island of Manzanila in Naval bay. Its pop
ulation since the begnn ing of work on the
canal has Ieen about 10000. Tbs towns was
founded 10y the railway company in $780, and
its chief building are the railway offices and

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Col. w. W.
Dudley when commissioner of pensions drew
pension of $50 a month. The new COM
missioner, Gen. Black, draws S1OO. Mr..
Black has been wounded so seriously that he
can use his hand to sign papers only when
the actual signature of the commissioner is
necessary. AS a usual thing be signs docu-
ments with rubber stamp containing the
signature.
I have been told that Mr. Morton, the out.
going United States minister to France, has
expended $4,000 year while he has resided
in Paris. That sum is nearly three times the
amount paid him as salary. Mr.. McLane,
his successor, is not a wealthy man, though
he has sufficient means to live comfortably
Since MIR. Washburne was minister to Paris
not one Of his successors have lived within
the salary. Under this economic administra-
ton, when cabinet officers prefer to ride in
street cars, it is not to be expected that the
foreign ministers will live extravigantly.
MIR. Cox is the author of one or more books
on Turkey. He has travelled in that country
and has remained there for some time dur
ing congressional recesses. He desired the
appointment and made efforts to secure it.
1t will pay $4,000 year-iust twice the
amount he received as a, member of con-
gress. At the last session the salary was in
creased from 81, 500 to the above amount.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The friends of
Carlisle are very anxious that he should re-
turn here. They have coutrasted his course
in leaving for Kentucky with that of Randall,
who has staid here and whose name, whether
with or without,the right, has been connected
with great many important offices, and
Carlisle's friends say he is losing political
prestige on this account. But it is not alone
on account of the offices that Carlisle's pres
ence here is much desired. The recent ut
terances of Secretary Manning in regard to
the policy of the administration on the tariff
is creating considerable. speculation among
the tariff reformers of the Carlisle and Nor
rson school, They claim that if the presi-
dent takes the position on the tariff assigned
to him by Secretary Manning he
will not be in accord with the Chicago
platform, their Interpretation being that
the protective theory is purely Incidental, and
that the platform, as they understood t,com-
mitted the party to revision OF the tariff,
but that the fundamental theory of revision
should be in accord with the expressed views
of the majority of the party, as presented by
the representatives of the Forty-eighth con-
gress.
They claim in support of their position
that, while the Democratic majority has ma
terially diminished in the Forty-ninth con-
gress, the reform element in the Democratic
vote is largely in the ascendency. This
they regard as sufficient Endorsement of the
Democratic party of the country. They
further add that if the president and Secre-
tary Manning undertake to place the inter
probation of the Chicago platform on the
tariff question, as indicated in the score
mined opposition from the Western and
Southern wings of the party. 1t is evident
that it will be exceedingly difficult, if not i'm
possible, to reconcile these divergent views
on the tariff

COMING DIPLOMATIC APPOINTMENTS.
Secretary Bayard's Efforts to Secure the
Very Best Men.

Secretary Bayard's Efforts to Secure the
Very Best Men.
Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, March 29.-It is expected
that goodly list of diplomatic nomin ations
will be sent to the senate this week, not be-
cause the president or secretary of state has
told anyone so, but because the senate is al
most certain to adjourn on Thursday, and
the advantage of having the ministers con-
frmed before they go abroad is ap-
parent to all. The president and Secretary
Bayard are very much pleased at the way
the country has received the nominations
thus far made and they will not lower the
standard already established even if some of
the men they want can't be found before
Thursday. The secretary understands per-
fectly that it has been the rule rather than
the exception to distribute
DIPLOMATIC APPOINTMENTS
as gratuities, consulting rather the conven-
ience of individuals than the interests
OF the nation, and he is determined
to establish different system.
The truth is the diplomatic service needs a
new classification, with the possible excep-
ton OF the legation at London. or the lega-
tions in Mexico and China, which are the
most important that we have, but measured
by salaries the legations at Paris, Berlin and
st. Petersburg are of the first class, and
those at Mexico and Pekin are of the second
class. Almost any of the South American
missions are of greater importance to the
nation than the more highly paid and more
EAGERLY SOUGHT
for posts at Vienna aud st. Peters
burg. Secretary Bayard is fully alive to the
importance to our commercial interests of
having the government ably represented at
Pekin and at South American capitals, and he
is carefully looking for the right men. Of
course it is not to be expected to go outside
OF the Democratic party for men, but within
the party fitness for the particular duties to be
performed, and not the political records or the
Endorsements will determine the secretary's
selections. The secretary has invited some
gentlemen who take the same interest in
this matter that he does to suggest suitable
candidates for appointments, and he will
spare no efforts to give this government the
BEST POSSIBLE REPRESENTATION
abroad, even if some of the gentlemen who
never did any political work for
the Democratic party get some
offices that have been eagerly
sought for by gentlemen who have been do
ing yeoman work for the party year in and
year out.
In reply to gentlemen who have called to
see the secretary about the appointment of
consuls, the secretary has uniformly said
that he would have no time to consider the
consuates until the diplomatic positions
were disposed of

A Travelling Mans Observations.


''I'n give you pointer" remarked Pat
KeIy's veteran Northwestern traveller Chase
to GLOBE reporter, ''those half breeds are a
hard crowd for English regulars to tackle.
They don't fight in line like regular troops
but as sharpshooters, and they are all dead
shots, and armed with the best of breech-
leaders and repeating rifles. They protect
themselves behind rocks and bushes and
hide in the grass, and will scatter all around
the troop and fire into their ranks a raking
fire in which every cartridge will count for q
life. Those fellows have been trained to
shoot for meat. As game has become scarce
and smaller they have improved their aim.
They have been, denied their landed right
and are deeply incensed against the govern
ment, and have been fired with intense hos
tility by the subtle diplomacy and fervid
eloquence of the willy Riel until they feel that
they are fighting for their homes, and unless
they are propitiated will fight to the death.
And the governments fear of a general
uprising of the Indians is well grounded.
They are restive and have been for years.
They have been sWindled by their agents
somewhat the same as some of our Indians,
and having suffered much during this long
and distressing winter are now inclined to
resent the lack of attention that has been
paid to their demands. As grass will come
shortly when they can move about. with less
discomfort, they may be expected to be more
aggressive. You may expect them to make
some very exacting demands from the gov
ernment as the price of peace. Should the
Crees, Blackfeet and Pegans take the war
path and join the half-breeds the resources
of the whole Dominion govern ment would be
sorely taxed to put them down, for they
could muster at least 1000 well mounted and
ably armed warriors whose methods of fight
ing would tax the tactics of the regulars and
the volunteers severely. Neither the Indians
or the half-breeds fight in the open field.
They know every foot of the broken and
brushy ground over which they would invite
the military to their line of
retreat and they would ambush
at every movement. l have travelled through
that country myself, and am familiar with its
forbidding character. A campaign in the
Soudan or in Afghanistan wouldn't be cir
cumstance in the fierceness Of the foe to be
met and the natural obstacles to be over
come. The idea of organizing a cavalry corps
from the rangers of the West for scouts is
good one, as such troops could do much to
protect the troops from lurking foes and
from surprises. Besides, should the enemy
break up into small bands these troops would
be quite available for following them into
their fastnesses.
