THE OYSTER CASES.
Ex-J Judge Allen Proposes to Submit the
Matter to Arbitration.

Treasurer Worth and the Commission
here, from time to time, charged that
the costs in the oyster cases from Pam
leo and Carteret counties were fraud
ulent, and that the amount claimed by
the officers was not justly due.
The refusal of the Treasurer to pay
has been based upon this charge. On
Saturday in the Supreme court i'll the
trial of Garner vs.. Worth, relating TO
THESE claims, Judge Allen, one of the
ccunsel for the Plaintiff, WAS asked
if there were any improper items in the
bill of costs, and i'll reply the Judge
stated that there was no suggestion in
the record of an improper charge, but
that the officers in the Pamlico and Car
teret county cases did not care to take
advantage of any technicalities and were
willing to waive any rights acquired
under the warrants issued by the auditor
and under the judgments rendered in
their favor and to refer the whole mat
ter TO some lawyer, to be selected by the
parties or in the event Of disagreement.
by the Chief justice of the Supreme
court, for the purpose of determining
the amount justly and legally due, pro-
vided the Treasurer would agree to pay
at once the amount found due. This
seems to be fair, and the Treasurer
ought to accept it or publish his refusal
to pay upon different grounds, and stop
talking proud.

The civil Governor of one province, appointed
four months ago. charges the failure OF au-
tonon,y 10 one OF SPANS officials in Cuba which
IL supposed to mean Banco. This Governor
saws that II he had been able TO feed the starN-

toward reconciling the Cubans to autonomy.
He received no aid and now is depending on
American relief to save the survivors from
starvation. This Governor says, almost publicly
that the only hope is the intervention OF a
friendly neighbor. Other officials named under
autonomy are almost as conspicuous in seeking
intervention.
THE SQUADRON AT KEY WEST
Meagre details have been published here about
SPANS desire 10 have the squadron at Key West

incident here is that diplomatic representation
similar TO the request for Lees recall was made
A, srS, IN. public was led 10 believe the squad
ron would actually be scattered and the depart
ure OF the Montgomery from Havana was cited
as proof that the American ships were with
Arawinr from Cuban waters. This mistaken
Immersion has since been corrected. The press

cations warning the Spanish classes that the

ships and the Spsniards are exhorted TO prepare
for what is coming The tone OF the press mas

sentng the Autonomist Government are equally
as bitter as the Weylerite and Intrarsingente
organs

TOVED INTO HALIFAX H1RBOR.
THE FREIGHT STEAMER OSBORNE RESCUED
BY THE DUFFIELD.

BY THE DUFFIELD.
Halifax y. S. March 2o.-The big freight
steamer Osborne. Captain Kettle. bound from
London to Philadelphia. was towed in here dis
abled tonight by the oil-tank steamer Dutfield.
Captain Young, on voyage from North Shields
to Philadelphia. The Dufield had got her prize
a mile inside of Camperdown. at the entrance
to Halifax Harbor, when the towing hawser
broke away and the two steamers were sepa-
rated The Osborne. fortunately. found a safe
anchorage and efforts wera made by the Duff
field 70 get hold of her again. Darkness set IN
and the work was difficult and dangerous,
though the tugs from the city which had gone
out to meet them lent much as assistance
as possible. 1t was O'Clock when the accident
happened To the hawser.
In bringing the Osborne into port two hawsers
had been used but when the steamers got in
side the entrance 10 the harbOr one was con-
sidered sufficient and the other was hauled in.
The remaining one could not stand the strain.
After the acciden: the Osborne began TO roll so
much that efforts TO connect the hawscr finally
had to he abandoned. ard Captain Kettle ar
ranged with three tugs to bring his ship up to
the city It was a late hour when the tugs got
the disabled steamer in tow, and the Osborne
was not expected TO get oil the way up the har-
Dor before 3 or I o'clock in the morning
The accident which disabled the Osborne was
the breaking of her tail shaft on Friday night,
March II. For over four days she drifted help
lossly one day an eastbound passenger steam
er came near enough to be signalled t. for as
sistance but she declined to take the drifting
Osborne in tow.
The Duffied bore down on her at 6 o'clock
last Monday morning, and three hours later had
her underway with two hawsers out. They
started nthe long from latitude 1t. 20
north longitude II 30 west over one thousand
miles from this port Captain Young, OF the
Dufield, offered TO take the Osborne 70 Halifax
or Philadelphia and Captain Kettle, Of the dis
abled vessel preferred Philadelphia. as both
steamers were bound TO that port
Had the weather been favorable the two
steamers would probably have reached Phia-
delphia all right. but they neared the coast
heavy gales prevailed and IT was almost con-
cargo rolled and pitched fearfully and the
strain On the towing hawsers was tremendous.
On Friday last Captain Kettle requested the
commander OF the Duf,ield 10 make for Halifax,
and they turned their noses In the direction OF
this port. .eaCbng the harbor without mshap.
The Osborne was tOwcd the longest distance of
any disabled steamer ever brought 10 Halifax.
The Osborne is under charter To the Atlantic
Transportation Line. She is fine steamer, OF
. O33 net tonnage, 3133 gross. She built
at Wallsend three years ago. and is owned by
John 3. Nerel. OF Glasgow. The Dutfeld is > 426
net tonnage. ard is owned by the Northern Pc
