A DISPUTE OVER 4 SONG.

CHARLES H. HoYT's REPLY TO FRANK DAN
IELs'S CARD
Frank Daniels, who calls himself Old Sport" and
* playIng this week IN Kansas City with his Little
Prcls7 company, has been accused Of appropriatng
the Eazzle Dazzle' song and Drill, Ye Terriers,
Drll- from Brass Monkey" by Hoyt and Thomas.
Mr. Daniels publishes a card in which he says that the
original copy of the Razzle Dazzle song was given
10 him by the composer, Willard I. Barton, of the
Bohemian Club, san Francisco, and that II was sung
by Dockstadcrs rstreIs before being placed on the
musical list of "a Brass Monkey" lie adds
f[oyt and Thomas's company arc only able to sing
the chorus. the verses Of which they do not know,
while my company sing the entire and original song
The question now arises: How did Iloyt and Thomas
become acquainted with even the chorus II toe song
l. NOT vet publishedf II Is said that MI HOyt ac-
ccuted an Invitation from members OF the bohemian
Club I'm Frisco and while accepting that hospitality
pIoined the chorus OF the song, which was sung al

Charles H. Hoyt said: In the strongest language
I can use / want 10 say that Mr. Danics's conduct
in aDproprating the .Iazzle Dazzic' song IS I'm the
highest degree unprofcss ona II is true that heard
the song sung at the Bohemian Club IN san Francisco,

EXPLANATIONS or TWO cHARGEs MADE

EXPLANATIONS on TWO cHARGEs MADE
AGAIEsT THE Eek CONSUL TO SAN DOMINGO
TO the Ldftor Of the Tribune
SIR: The article IN your Issue Of this morning con
corning Consul Astwood appears to as manlfcstly
unfair II. c. c. AstwOOd Is colored man OF more
than ordinary intelligence and executive ability, and
Republican appointed during President Arthur's
term ugh powerful Influence from both parties
by reason Of his marked fitness for the position He
has, IT is fair to assume, conducted tho duties OF
his Office to tho satisfaction of the present Admins
uation having been retained in spite Of extraorli-
nary efforts TO get a Democrat in his place. The
writer has no interest In, and only by chance has
knowledge Of the influences which at this late date
have been brought TO bear to effect Mr.. Astwood's
removal 1t appears to be true, alleged, that
certain draft of Astwood's for about $780, made in
favor OF Mrs Plat, whose husband was killed at
San Domingo, though accepted, remains unpaid.
This draft the equvalen of money received by
the Consul IN his official capacity 10 transmit, ann
the failure Of the recipient TO receive the money has
led to the summary dismissal of the Consul The
fact exists, however, in tho Consus vindcation thar
Mr.. Astwood had an acknowledged hight to draw for
the amount, and had right 10 suppose It was PAID
and 1t further appears that Mrs. Plat has expressed
willingness 10 await the convenience OF the acceptor
of the draft If the latter Is true It would appear
that this unfortunate affair is made use of TO erect
Mr.. Astwoods removal by his enemies giving him no
opportunity for explanation.
Concerning the affair regarding the bones OF Co
lumbus, although your article makes # Of recent
date. November TO- 1883, the story s an old one,
and got up by the enemies Of the Consul over year
ago. and that time duly and satisfactorily explained
by him. 1t arose from proposal made by an AmcIi-
can 10 the Dominican Government to exhibit IN The
United States the bones in the Cathedral at San
Domingo City and claimed 10 be those OF Christopher
Columbus Mr.. Astwood denied publicly at the time
any interest in the affair. having only passed the
petition over to the Dominican officials. after lis re-
ccipt by him. in the Ordinary routine OF his Office
The spite against Mr.. AstwOOd existing ap
pears 10 arise from the failure Of certain parties 10
get the COnsui's support and assistance 10 obtain
cOncessions and privileges from the Domlulcans.

caused much excitement, was verified by Tribune
reporter who called on Mr. Depew in the evening
Tho operation of removing tho leg was witnessed by
many experts and students IN medical science 1t
occupied forty-fve minutes and though anaesthetcs
were used IL was endured by the sufferer without
