From further investigation and ob

found , made by Indians going to and
returning from Kockridge , where the
fight occurred on the 4th tilt. , the
crossing and recro.'sing on the river
and numerous unmistakable signs aud
evidences , I am now convinced that
Victoria and at lesst ono hundred of
his most effective force wens engaged
with us on that day and that tboy
were much more severely handled
than I at first reported. 1 have now
located their catnp which is opposite
Del Alamo , in the mountains ot Mexico
ice adjoining the river. This information
mation was promptly forwarded to
Col. "Vallo , who was at that time mov
ing down the river on information
sent him previously , and I have just
received a c nmiumcation from him ,
and I presume he is now opposite
Oja Calliente , whew I have sent
couriers to again communicate with
him. The last reports received from
scouts state that the river has risen
since the Indians crossed back into
Mexico and it is now only possible to
cross with great difficulty , it being
higher than it has been heretofore
this season. ( Sigued ) GRIEBSON ,

enormous appetite , and has been gain
ing flesh within the past twenty-
four hours at the rate of an half
pound sn hour. Dr. Work says : ' 'The
fact that Dr. Tanner has such a great
appetite ani such remarkable digest
ive powers , shows conclusively that he
was not reduced to a condition of in
anition even by forty days' abstinence
from food. He could have gene on
fasting several days longer. "
Special dispatch to The Bee.
NEW YORK , August 10 10 p. m.
Dr. Tanner still continues to be the
subject of general interest. Ho
feasts continually , and seems unable
to satisfy the cravings of his stomach.
After two hours' Bleep last night he
awoke n few minutes before midnight
and his face and bands were bathed
in ammonia , after which ho drank two
ounces of wino and ate a cracker. Ho
then slept quietly until 4. c'clock this
morning , when he drank eight ounces
of milk. Three hours later he arose
and ate a quarter of a pound of beef
steak and a dish of potatoes stewed
in milk. After reading the morning
papers and his correspondence , which
comprised between sixty and seventy
letters , ho complained of being hun
gry , and ate half a pound of steak ,
nine ounces of stewed potatoes and
drank six ounces of milk. This was
at 10:20. : Ho was then weiqhed and
raised the beam at 130 pounds , a gain
of fourteen and a half pounds. Twen
ty minutes later ho drank moro milk
and received callers and at 1 o'clock
this afternoon ha was entertaining his
visitors. Dr. Tuttle examined a speci
men of his blood thirty hours after
the fast had closed , and found it still
in an impoverished condition. There
was a superabundance of lincocypes
nhich indicates the condition of a
patient in the last stages of wasting
disease.
Tanner received over -100 letters
and postal cards since yesterday morn-
g. Amorg them were many
from lecture bureaus asking him
to lecture , from physicians asking
him to describe his feelings in detail ,
and from theatrical managers offering
him tempting inducements for short
engagements. He has also received
some leap-year oflors of marriage ,
prcbibly written by WBgs. Tanner
has not made up his mind what ho
shall do. Dr. Jarvis , of Bellevue hos
pital eays the importance of Tanner's
last will not be fully recognized until
the results of physiological researches
that are based upon It come to be
published.
At 2 o'clock Tanner ate about three
pounds of watermelon , and then took
a short ride. He went to a photogra
pher's and had a picture taken. While
out of doors he ate half a dozen
peaches and several bananas. On re
turning to the house , he drank a
plasj of water , the first ho has taken
since breaking his fast. Later he
felt hungry , and ate a dozen largo
raw oysters and a lot of cracker ? , and
drauk some Bass' ale , and about an
hour after had a supper of steak , etc.
He continued to eat and drink and
talk until after 10 o'clock , when ho
went to bed.

WASUINGTOX , August 11 1 a. in.
In a letter addressed to the speaker
of the house , dated May 1 laat , Sec
retary Evarts submits his annual re
port upon the commercial relations
of the United States with foreign
countries for the vear 1870. The re
port contains very many interesting
feature ! ] . The sscretary sys it Is a
pleasure to be able to atatu that the
promises hel J out in our consular re
ports , during the last two or three
years , of a general revival of twde
and industry in the several countries
of Europe were realized in 1870.
While it may n't be safe to indulge
in any llorid expect xtieiH of springing
from the depression and dnorganizv
tion of the past six months or seven
years into imiuediata prosperity , for
recovery is slow or swift according to
the magnitude and intensity of de
pression and disorganization , it would
seem from reports herewith , as well
as from still later information received -
ed , that European trade and industry
had touched their lowest depth dur
ing the later period of 1878. Dur
ing the firat six months ot 1879 the
preparation , or clearing up period , had
arrived , and a positive revival took
place during the last six months of
the laler year. As on incentive to
this revival came trom the United
States , I beg to invite your attention
to the fulfillment of European hopes.
In this regard , notwithstanding a sud
den revival in trade in the United
States during the year 1879 has re
sulted in enlarged importation hither ,
a continuation there , especially in the
line of manufactures , can acarcely be
expected by Europe , Leading man
ufacturers and economists of Euroce
would seem to share in the belief , and
accordiigly combat the danger of ro-
lyiug upon an increase in exports to
the United States.
The anxiety of European producers
to get rid of their dead stock wore
highly favorable for American pur
chasers in that quarter , hence a com
paratively largo increase of exports to
the United States. During the last
half of the year 1879 , the charac
ter of the export ? , which show this in
crease , proves that European manu-
facturcio , unless in special lines
wherein our own manufactures are
yet undeveloped , can not build upon
moro than a voty moderate increase
in their sales to the United States.
The increase in exports from France ,
England and Germany will be better
understood from the following state
ment :
Franco An increase of § 10,388-
000 , occurring principally in dreas
goods , silks , laces , jewelry , precious
stones , wines , etc.
Germany An increase of $5,000-
000 , principally in fancy goods and
cotton manufactures. A very marked
decrease took place in silk goods and
silk ribbons.
Great Britain An increase of § 27-
000OCO , ; of this increase , pig iron ,
cast iron , wool aud articles necessary
io our industries constituted about
§ 16,000,000 , leaving an increase in
manufactures , principally in linen and
jute goods , railroad iron , woolen
goods and earthen and china ware , of
about § 11,000,000.
The foregoing increase of § 12,000-
000 , which would scarcely bo noted in
normal times , owing to the depressed
condition of trade , cave hope and re
newed courage to all Europe. In ad
dition to the general revival of trade
nnd industry , the year 1879 marks an
epoch in the commercial economy of
the world. The tariff laws of Ger
many , which wont into pffect during
thnt year , marshaled all Europe En
gland and the Netherlands excepted
into line on protective questions.
The acknowledgement by Germany of
her Inability to compete with ether
nations of Europa in manufactures ;
without the adoption of moat ultra-
protective measures , is a severe com
ment on her fancied pecurity In Eu
rope and on economicil labor against
the protected labor of her neighbors.
Not only did the German people do
that , as thoao who were concerned in
special interests affected , demand pro
tection against French , English and
Belgian manufacturer. ! , but the loud
est demands cone from thosa interests
which were endangered by manufac
tures and products. The result is that
Germany , whoso industry and cho-ip
labor were supposed to overmatch all
other countries , haouo further in
her protective priuciples than any
other country , oven taxing foreign
breadbtufis and provisions to save her
homo industries , in this line , almost to
prohibition. The Netherlands , being
principally intermediary in commerce ,
finds in free trade her best protection.
England , may , therefore , bo set down
as the only free trade country in Eu
rope ; bat there i * a growing feeling in
favor of protection even in England.
The agitation in the United States at
present for a revision of our tariff
laws seemed specially to demand that
I should call your attention to the
foregoing facts concerning the present
attitude of Europe in this regard.
It seems to me that -any action look
ing to a chsrue in our present tariff ,
which would leave international appli
cations and compilations out of view ,
would be an unwUo and narrow treat
ment of so important a question. Af
ter maintaining a tariff when Europe
was mostly free , to open our ports
now when Europe has closed all her
ports against us is a subject which re
quires most disinterested and patriotic
consideration , which ahall be above
the clamor of special interests , keep-
in vievr c"y ] the eenswl goodi In
conclusion the secretary gives the re
sult of the world's trade as follows :
The annual imports into Africa of
American goods amount to only
§ 4,350.000 , while those from Eng
land amount to $00,000,000 , aud
those from Franco to 854,712,000.
The imports of the northern division
of the continent bear evidence , however -
over , to be an increasing demand for
American product ] , and there cm be
no doubt that a large American trade
can be developed in this important
division. The imp > rts of the Ameri
can continent , the United States ex
copied , are : From England140,000-
000 ; from the United States , § 93,000-
000 , and from France , § 60,000,000.
The only countries and colonies on
this continent to which we sell more
goods annually than are sold by Eng
land are Mexico , the West India la-
lands and the United States of Colom
bia. Leaving Canada out of the cal
culation , with which Franco has
acarco'y ' any trade , the trade of Franco
and the United States fs about equal.
In the imports of American contract ,
outside of England , we control the
principal portion of the Australian
import trade , but this portion is in-
signiOcant when compared to the im
ports from England , viz. : § 08,000,000
to § 9,500,000. Still our trade with
Australia is steadily Increasing , its
drawback being the insignificance of
return trade. The total imports of
Asia amount to § 57oJ5,000 ! , of which
Etig'and ' supplies § 21,200,000 , the
United States § 12,519,000 and Franco
only § 5,217,000. The causa which
operates against American trade with
Africa and with America is the want
of steam communication and of rep
resentative American commercial
houses. In a still more emphatic man
ner one trade with Asia is affected ,
owing to the fact that our flag Is
scarcely over ecsn in many Important
parts , ami American goods are un
known in some of the principal marts.
Notwithstanding all these drawbacks ,
our trade with the principal countries
is steadily advancing , and there seems
to bo no reason why exports from this
country to ASU should not equal the
imports from that continent to this.
No other country has such a favor
able trade showing as ours. The to
tal balance of trade in favor of al !
countries do not amount to one-half
the balance of trade in favor of the
fTnlted States. Our exports of breadstuffs -
stuffs and provisions , and of other
national products , which constitute so
largo a part of our foreign trade , have
been increasing till they have excited
the wonder of nations. In regard to
cur export trade in nunufatures it can
be said that it has passed from an ex
perimental to an assured stago.

cure of ulcers iu the stomach. The
cure has been effected , and the young

It is becoming qnito evident things
will not be so terribly unanimous in
the coming republican state conven
tion , after all.
The disclosures concerning Auditor
Leidtke , by whomsoever made , and
for whatever purpose , has probably
effectually cooked hia goose , and by
so doing has very likely opened the
way for other culinary operations of a
similar sort. * Wo shall probably have
a now auditor , and quite possibly anew
now deal o'sowhere , also.
Already it appears that Hon. G.
W. Collins Is after Games' scalp , and
the excitable , pugnacious lieutenant-
governor will have to Imld on pretty
fast and dodge prtHv lively , or Col
lins will hang itat hia > < 't
Then it will be atrai g-j indccdafter
thii beginning , if smuo nno is not
looking around a little after the state
treaiiirorship. It is al ogethor too
nice a little plum to bo lying arouud
uncared for. In all probability seine
disinterested patriot can bo found
who will sacrifice himself for the pub
lic good and the little sugar plum of
the interest on the public funds.
So the old slate is virtually smashed
and there is a lively hustling about , to
make up a new one , and no one can
tell what a day may bring forth. A
good many patriots are sitting expec
tantly 011 the ragged edge , but with
their hats extended , ready to receive
most any mite that the public may sec
fit to heave into them.
There's lots of scurrying to and
fro between different parts of the
atato. It would be a nice thing for
the railroads and the hotels , if 80
many of them didn't get deadheaded.
Even teachers' institutes are reviving
in interest , and various "professors"
are besieging editors to say of each
"He fa the man for state superintend
ent. "
Altogether , we are likely to have a
lively time of it , in the convection ,
and not so wondroualy unanimous a
thing as it might ba.

NEW YOKK , August 10 noon A
great fire is now raging at Hunter's
Poinirsjn the East river opposite this
city. The oil ship Nictaux which
caught lire Sunday night and was towed
out and left adrift , floated this fore
noon ngalnst the pier of the American
Export Lumber company where several
vessels were unloading. The Nictani
has been burning since she waa cna
adrift , and when she struck the pier
the flames communicated to the adja
cent vessels and thence to the lumber
yard , spreading with frightful rapid
ity. Six barges , ono schooner and
one ship thua far have been destroyed.
Over ten acres of fire are now raging ,
and the conflagration is entirely be
yond the control of the firemen.
Several of the burning vessels were
towed into the river , and are drifting
towards Blackwell's Island , enveloped
in sheets of flame. The h'ro Is spread
ing in every direction , and the eceno
from the river is one of Indiacrlbablo
grandeur. Many small boats filled with
spectators are hovering around the
scene , but are compelled to remain on
the opposite side of the river and far
above and far below , as the heat
from the conflagration is terrible. It
is now estimated that § 3,000,000 worth
of property Is in danger.
OKAPl'LINO WITH THE FLAMES.
Special Dispatch to Hie Bee.
NEW YOKK , August 10 , 4 p. m.
The fire in Hunter's Point Is still
burning and is as far beyond the con
trol of the firemen as ever. Steamers
were summoned from BrooUyu and
Long Island City and all the hand
engines from Hunter's Point were
called to the scene of tl.o con
flagration. The men recog
nizing how futile their efforts would
bo to cope with the flames began at
once to remove the piles of lumber as
yet nufired. Near a point whore the
conflagration basnowreachedis anoth
er lumber yard containing 7,000,000
feet of lumber. Sixteen seagoing
vessels and numerous barges and small
craft were at ono time in dan.
ger , and as many of them had , in or
der to escape , to pass throngh
a draw bridge , great conster
nation ensued. The bridgeman
was excited and lost his head , but
after a time the vessels were got out
into the stream and moved out of
danger. Over twenty tugs are now
working to suppress the flames in
connection with fire steamer Have-
meyerand the land engines. A large
force of police have been ordered to
the scono. Mora than 20,000 per
sons are pressing against the
fire lines. Four years ago the
property on the same site
waa swept away by fire
TUB LOSSES ,
so far as can be estimated , wore oa
follows : Uhas. Watson's lumberyard ,
8200,000 ; insured. Export lumber
company , § 500,000 ; insured. Ship
ping , § 300,000 ; partially insured.
Pratt's Oil works are adjacent to the
fire and were at one limo in great
danger , but a fortunate change in the
direction of the wind saved them from
immediate conflagration. Should
they take fire the loss will
be terrible. The banks of the river
upon the New York side are thronged
with spectators , and all the lines of
cara leading _ in that direction are
crowded , while vast numbers of pe-
dettriana are moving in the same di
rection. Should the conflagration not
bo stayed , within * short time all the
engines which can be spared from New
York will bo sent to the scene.
P VNCEtt OVER.
NEW YOKK , Augnst * ll , 1 a. m. It
was noon before thoprogress of the
flames at Hunter's Point could bo
checked to any extent nnd not until
nearly night fall that the danger of
their spreading further waa averted.
The fire is still burning and the
amount of the loss cannot bo defin
itely ascertained. Mr. Webster , bus
iness managerof the Export company ,
* ui 1 that there wore from 15,000-
000 to L'0,000,000 feet fi lumber
atored in the yard with an approxi
mate valuation of § 500,000. Fully
one-half of the lumber is consumed ,
which will bring the company's loss
to about § 25,000 ; the loss la well cov
ered by insurance. In addition to
the lumber burned in the yard , sever
al small vessels loaded with lumber
were destroyed.
