 WASHINGTON, April 10.-The comptroller of treasury has rendered a decision, in which he critIcizes the proposed action of the secretary of the interior ID accepting rebates from the Southern Pacific railroad on the freight of contractors engaged in work in the west under the irrigation and reclamation act.
 In replying to a communication from the secretary of the interior the comptroller says:
 "The government above all others, should not be a party to the violation either of the letter or spirit of the ln- terstate commerce act, as regards the question of rebates. It should not engage in questionable transactions in order that the saving of few dollars may be had, especially, when this saving results in the tearing down of a law which experience proves is very difficult, if not impossible to enforce.
 The interior department replied to this letter by insisting on the legality of their proposed actions and stating that the rebates in question will pro bably amount to S1, coo, 900 in the next seven years. In the course of his.re- .ponse to this the comptroller advises that the matter be laid before the at torney general.

Others of these dispatches are attempting to locate variously the battleships and the dl- vision of the squadron.
