Correspondence Of the REPUBLICAN
NEW CASTLE. June 23rd.

Big Bob Allen, the notorious burglar is
once more behind prison bars A corDle
of months ago he left here after serving a
five years term. He is now under $3.50
bail for bis appearance at court under the
name of Jim johnson.
While the First Delaware Regiment
were at drill yesterday the colored man
/ took French leave ana entered the tents
on a tour of Inspection.
10 Detective Wi;sil he stated that he
left Gray's Ferry on Tuesday night and
went to Middletown where he had "job"
to go to on the farm of George Nc Crone.

Allen answers tho description Of the
colored man that committed the outra-
rcous assault on two young women near

Sheriff Ross Conolly Is expected hero
to-day to take n look at the fellow to see If

SEALING COMPANY MUST PAY
For Special Privileges Granted by Our

GOf ny ouF
Government in Seal Fisheries.
New York. June 2G.-Judge 1aCombe.
in the Unite States circuit court has
entered the judgment of the United
States supreme court in the case of the
United States against the North Amer
lean Commercial company for rentals
and royalties and the revenue tax pro-
vded for in the seal fishery lease Sc
cured by the company from the gov
ernment in 1890, and decreed that the
United States recover from the North
American company $766S7,5O. with in
terest from April !, 1894, sSlounting in
all to $S6,1277s.
The lease of the North American
Commercial company, secured in 1890,
gave it the exclusive sealing privileges
of the Pribylof Islands for period of
20 years, and allowed it to take 100000
seals year, with royalty Of S7.62R on
each skin, and a revenue tax of 81 a
skin, besides rental of 100000 year.
After tbs agreement with Great Brit
ain. in 1893, for the protection of the
seal herd the government notified the
company that it's annual take must not
exceed 1880 head. From that time the
company refused to pay the stipulated
annual rental and the royalties and
revenue tax on the seals taken.
The government began three suits In
the United States circuit court in this
district to compel payment, and in
June, 1896, Judge LaCombe rendered
judgment in the first suit for 94,6S7.54,
with interest, amounting to $l07,2572O.
The case was appealed by the company
to the United States court of appeals.
and finally to the United States su-
preme court which handed down the
decision which Judge LaCombe has
just certified. The difference between
the judgment of the supreme court and
the circuit court was in the amount of
reduction in the annual rental of $6O,O
which the company was to pay on ac-
count of the reduction in the number of
seals it was allowed to take, the su-
preme court allowing a greater reduc-
tion than the circuit court.

70 REPBL THE INVADERS
Madrid Expects Linares and Ger
vera to Win the Fight. s.,
A PROLONGED BATTLE EXPECTED

Further Talk of the Queen Regent Of
Spain Soon Resigning the Regency.
Seeking Mediation From Her Royal
Relatives and Friends.
London, June 23--The Madrid corre-
spondent of The Standard says: "El
Heraldo De Madrid says that the gov<
ernment suppressed the chief part Of
the dispatch Of the governor of Santi-
ago de Cuba (Generals, ,Linares) de-
failing the forces, meangaefsdefense and
provisions at his disposal! The impress
sion in political and military circles Is
that important news is imminent from
Santiago. 1t is generally expected that
the Americans will attempt bonn
bardment of the first line of defenses
at the mouth of Santiago bay stimuli
taneously with the landings to outf1ank
the Notifications, if silenced by the fire
of the fleet Then, II successful. they
will move forward with the assistance
OF the insurgents for a decisive strug-
gle at the second line of defense In the
interior of the bay, where the Spanish
fleet may be expected to cooperate
with the defenders.
'The resistance is likely to be se-
we're and prolonged. Indeed. the Span
ish naval and military authorities are
hopeful that General Lnares, with the
garrison and the volunteers. recently
considerably reinforced, may be able,
backed by Admiral CerVera, to repel
the Americans, who would then be in
precarious position on the most un-
heathful part of the coast. Santiago i5
provisioned for several weeks, and the
authorities have taken possession of all
the stores. The submarine defenses of
the bay are, moreover. OF formidable
character"
The Berlin correspondent of The
Standard says: The queen regent has
privately caused those soVercigns who
are her relatives to be directly sound
ed, and those whom she regards as
friends to be indirectly sounded, as to
whether they are willing to mediate,
but the stage Of diplomatic ncgOtia-
tions has not yet been reached. and it
is very doubtful whether it will be
reached for some time to come.
1.-The semi-ofiicial Post hears from
Antwerp that persons commissioned by
the Washington government to enlist
SHai1en on neutral SOIL are Salu 10 nave
enlisted more than thousand German
sailors for the American navy and the
auxiliary cruisers. This would explain
the difficulty German captains have
experienced of late in manning their
ships."
The Vienna correspondent of The
Daily Telegraph says: "All the infor-
nation that reaches here from Madrid
proves beyond a doubt that the posi-
ton of the queen regent has become
altogether untenable and that her ma
jcsty will resign the regency within O
very short period. 1t may prove feas-
ible to establish regency council un-
der arra angements for the existing
dynasty, but according to present in
dicaticns this appears questionable. In
well informed quarters here it is be-
lievcd that the next defeat for the
Spanlards will upset the conditions
prevailing in Madrid. where the situa-
ton is already extremely confused"
