BosToN, April 25.-The Caledonia with
John l.. Sullivan aboard, came into view at
6:4O a. m. At 7 o'clock the tug boats, Wes-
ley A. Cove, John H. Clark and Elsie,
started out with freight of sporting men to
meet the champion. The party included
Manager Phillips, J. A. st. John, Pete Nc
Coy, Patsy Kerrigan, Paddy Duffy and Joe
Lannon. The tugs met the steamer just be-
fore o'clock Sullivan stood on the bridge,
his face bronzed by the voyage and looking
the picture of health The scores Of sporting
men waved handkerchiefs and hats and sent
up cheer after cheer, while the tugs whistled
greeting. Sullivan doffed his hat and the
hundreds Of people on the steamers deck,
catching the enthusiasm, joined in the cheer
ing.
As the tugs accompanied the ship to
Quarantine, greetings were shouted across
between Sullivan and friends, whom he
recognized. At Quarantine Sullivan left
the steamer for the tug, where he was re-
ceived with renewed cheering. The band
played, the Cateloneans gave farewell
hurrah and the tugs started for the shore.
On arriving at the wharf Sullivan his
hacker, Mr.. Phillips, his father and Sylvias
Gookin, the oarsman, entered carriage in
waiting and were driven up town amid the
cheers and other salutations of the hundreds,
who had gathered ON the sidewalks.
Sullivan, accompanied by his manager and
hacker, Harry Phillips called at the Globe
office, and issued the following challenge;
"Now that l have returned to Boston,
want my countrymen to understand that
stand ready to fight any man in the world a
finish battle in a sixteen-foot ring, for any
part of $4,000 a side. l would prefer to
meet Mitchell or Kilrain, or both, as | want
to take the conceit out Of both When
sign articles for another fight it will be gen
orally understood that it is to be battle and
not foot race Both Mitchell and Kilrain
will be given fair show in this country
and am convinced that there is not the
least chance for me to fight either of them
in Europe. Should they fail to make good
their boasts, and come to this country and
give exhibitions as they propose to do, will
| follow them all over the country and drive
them out of it or make them fight. This
challenge will remain open until the time OF
the arrival of Mitchell and Kilrain which /:
supposed to be about the lst Of June next.

A tarantula's nest is owned by citi-
zen of Rome, Ca, who found it while
travelling through Nevada, Its exterior
is earth, and at the first glance it has the
appearance on the outside of potato,
being about four inches long and an inch
in diameter. The tarantula, which is a
species of spider, makes this nest by
scooping pit in some dry, uncultivated
soil, and spinning sort of web around
the inside. The web is very closely spun
and forms a coating perhaps an eighth Of
an inch in thickness. The entrance to
the pit is protected by round corner or
door, which is fastened to one side by a
hinge or Spider-web. The tarantula sits
near the entrance to bis nest watching
for prey, which he carries, when cap
tured, into the pit to be devoured.-Chl-

alleged, was married in Germany when
a young man to Julia Fiehler, and lived
with her for a time. About 1868, it is
charged, he deserted his wife and came
to America with a distant relative
whose name was Lizzie Schuetrumpf.
The couple settled in this city,
where an uncle Of the young man
resided. 1t is claimed that, to satisfy
his Uncle Schuetruulpf, pretended that
he was married to the young woman
by the late Justice Koebe. Attorney
Flick for the State says he has made a
thorough search bnt could find no
record of Schuetrumpf's marriage.
The prisoner has two daughters who
were born in this county, one of them
about seventeen years of age, and the
other fifteen. The State claims to have
secured witnesses who were present at
the marriage in Germany when the
prisoner led Julia Fiehler to the altar,
and who have seen the woman in
Germany within two years.

Chauncey M. Depew Speaks His Little
Piece, and Lays Down a Few Plain
Facts--General Domestic
Intelligence.

NEW YORK, April 24-[Special +
For 1O1 years the celebration by the
Englishmen in New York Of St.
Georges Day, has been more or less
prosaic. The one hundred and second,
which took place last night, at Delmon-
ico's, in the form of dinner, was con-
siderably less prosaic and was not a
little muffled.
Prof. Goodwin Smith, of Toronto,
was the primary spirit of this disturb
ing element. He made distinctly
political speech in which he attacked
home rule in an exceedingly bitter
manner. Chauncey M. Depew
created quite general excitement
when it came to his turn to speak by
taking the opposite course and hand
ling the cudgels in behalf of the Irish.
The temper of the gathering can be
better understood from the fact that
when Mr.. Depew asserted that if Mr.
Gladstone should visit This country he
would be received enthusiastically,
the name of Gladstone was greeted
with volley of Kisses.

A Saloon Murder--General
Domestic News.

CITY OF MEXICO, April 23.-ISpe-
cial via Galveston. The Clerical press
has renewed its attacks on General
Bragg, the United States Minister, on
account of a speech he delivered at the
banquet given in his honor: by the
American residents shortly after his
arrival in this city. General Bragg
said the American people would never
permit any attack on free institutions
in Mexico and this declaration was
considered by certain papers as equiv
alent to an intimation that Mexico is
not free to choose her own form of gov
ernment. In yesterdays issue OF the
paper, called La Defense CatOlica, con-
tained a lively attack on the General
as we'll as on the Liberal party.
1t says that of all Ministers whom
the United States have sent to
Mexico during the last eight years none
have uttered sentiments so undlpl0-
matte or asserted so openly the claim
of the United States to control the
affairs on the American continent as
has General Bragg. The writer then
reproaches the Liberal party for listen
ing to such declarations in silence and
virtually acquiesing in them by approx
ing Braggs speech in it's organ. The
attack is really directed against the
Liberal party and the present admins
tratiOn. Clerical press is aware that
General Diazs chances for reelection
have been much strengthened by the
recent financial success of the Mexican
government in Europe ana they are now
seeking to render Diaz's and his party
odious to the people by representing
him as servilely favorable to the United
States.

denial of commercial privileges to

CUBAN AFFAIRS,
AS Understood by An American Who
Visited That Country.

Visited That CounIry.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, April 25-[Spe-
cial. l-"The five provinces declared in
the state siege in Cuba contain over
one hundred cities, towns and villages"
said a prominent gentleman who
arrived from there Tuesday. "The Gov
eminent, headed by Marin, wants to
make it appear that the bandits who
have taken possession of Cuba are COM
mitting a crime in connection with the
leaders of the insurrection, with view
of giving Cuba her freedom. Such,
however, is not the case. There is no
politics in this matter. The truth is
that these bandits have become so
fierce and powerful in Cuba that the
Government will require 10000 men to
exterminate them" In proclamation
signed by Marin, he says that any per
son or persons found to be connected in
any way with the bandits, or given
food or shelter to any of the gang,
shall Immediately be tried by military
law and Immediately executed. AS the
Governor by issue of this proclamation
gives extraordinary authority to the
"Guardia Civil" the principal troops
used by the government, grave fears
are entertained in Havana that these
troops will try to repeat what
they did in Porto Rico recently where
Mr.. Nadal, an American citizen, was
one of the victims. The American res.
idents of Cuba are very apt to suffer in
consequence of this siege and are eX
posed TO be murdered in cold blood al
any moment, owing to the state Of
affairs on the Island.

witness for the defense in Hamilton

An International Commission.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-[Special.] i
The boundry between the United States
and Mexico has for many years been
prolific of dispute which both coun-
tries are anxious to have settled. The
matter is now before Congress in the
form of a proposition to establish an
international commission, whose duty
it shall be to fix these boundries def
nately. The state department is most
directly interested in the matter and
is giving the measure all the encourage
ment it can, but it is doubtful if any
conclusion will be reached, at this ses-
sion at least.
