CONSUL LEE RESIGNS. NOT UPHELD IN WASHINGTON AND WILL LEAVE HAVANA. Preferred to Iletiirn Bather Thau A hats* don American Citizens —III* Request For Warships to Enforce Ills Demands- Mu tiny Anions Spanish Soldiers. NEW YORK, Feb. 23.—Tho Herald this fnorningprints the following from its Ha vana correspondent, sent 1 v way of Key West: Consul General Lee has resigned. Ills letter tendering his resignation under cer tain conditions goes by tho next mail. Ho determined some days ago to take such a stop if he were not upheld in his efforts to protect all American citizens in Cuba. The consul general asked the state de partment that he be authorized to demand the release of citizens of the United States confined in Cuban prisons under tho same illegal oircumstanees as was the ill fated Ruiz. Fuch authorization has not been granted him. Spanish warships in Cuban waters have since Sunday been concentrating in the harbor of Havana. This is regarded here as very significant, in view of tho impor tant incidents of tho last few days. Great anxiety is felt at the palaoo and in all official circles at tho news from Cien fuegos, which states that that city is tho center of a serious mutiny of tho Spanish troops. Largo arrears of pay are due tho ' ''' GENERAL FITZ HUGH LEE. army in Cuba, and the discontent caused by this has culminated in open disobedi ence in the Spanish ranks In tho Cienfuo gos district. The insurgents in t lie eastern end of the island have captured JBayamo, an impor tant town in Santiago. Tiit; Brutal Slaughter of Ituiz. HAVANA, via Key West, Feb. 20.—Dr. Richard Ruiz, a naturalized American eitiz.cn, was found dead in his coll in tiio Guanabacoa jail Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. There is little doubt that he was beaten to death by his jailers at Fondes viela's orders. I)r. Ruiz, who studied and practiced dentistry in Philadelphia for many years, was arrested some ton days ago and charged with having helped Aranguren's bund to derail a train some weeks ago, when two Spanish officers wore captured. Tho charge was of the flimsiest character, as every one in Guanabacoa knew that Ruiz attended trlotly to his business and took no interest in political or revolution ary movements. The Spanish authorities, as usual, failed to notify tho consul general of tho stop they had taken, and General Lee only learned from unofficial sources of the high handed proceedings. Of course, the only crime of which Ruiz was guilty was American citizenship, and for this he has now been done to death in a most brutal and inhuman manner. When tho 72 hours had elapsed during which by {Spunish law prisoners may bo kept inaccessible, General Lee demanded that a lawyer and a representative of the consulate he admitted to see tho prisoner. The state department was informed of the situation by General Lee. but he received no reply. Whether instructed or not General Lee will take all tho steps which the situation demands and perform his duty to his fel low citizens. Cuba's Terms of I'oaee. NEW YORK, UEB. 24.—The World this morning publishes under tho head of The Nlost Important Document in tho Cuban War" an autograph letter written to that paper by Salvador Cisneros, president of tho provisional government of tho Cubans and countersigned by Maximo Gomez, tho general in chief. The letter was approved by the so called cabinet of tho provisional government and bears tho seal of tho infant republic. It is us follows: "At the request of your correspondent we have the greatest pleasure in answer ing the following questions: " Do you believe that the war can be ended on the basis of independence by the payment of an indemnity by Cuba to Spain with tho United States as arbitra tor;'' "On tho basis of independence it will bo possible to enter into negotiations. These should provide for the evacuation of the island by the Spanish and for tho fu ture relations between Spain and tho new Cuban republic. "We believe there should also be in cluded an indemnity to he paid Spain, pro vided the amount is reasonable. This would be honorable, practicable and good for all. "Hut if done it should be done as soon as possible. The indemnity should pre vent tho further loss of blood and of mon ey, and it would save the economic re sources of tho people who have sworn to the complete destruction of tho island be fore they will submit anew to the domin ion of Spain. "Eacli .day that passes causes fresh hatred and devastation. Soon the produc ing capacity of the country will he de stroyed. "Cuba can pay less as time passes, not only because each moment she earns less, but it will be in< reasingly difficult for her to fulfill the stipulations and agreements she is now able to make. "The indemnity to Spain should take tho form of the acknowledgment and guarantee by Cuba of a part of tho debt already contracted by Spain or tho pay ment of a sum in bonds or in money to {Spain. "We would not deem it inadvisable for the United Slates to intervene as arbitra tor or semiofficially as the friends of both sides, providing always that the island of Cuba shall not sacrifice thereby her own sovereignty. "We are yours, in the greatest consider ation, ' SALVADOR CISNEROS, "MAXIMO GOMEZ." DESTRUCTIVE FLOODS. Great Damage Done by High Water It Ohio ainl Alleghany Valley*. PITTSBURG, Feb. 24.—The flood now ] raging bore will probably equal the great • llood of 18S4, which measured 34 feet. Ii is impossible to estimate the damage thi present rise is doing, but 1500,000 will bt putting it mildly at Pittsburg and Alle J ghany alone. All the lowlands in the vi | cinity of cither of the rivers have beet submerged. More than 10,000 men have been madt ! idle by the rise, as many of the mills are located on the banks of tho streams. Thi water has invaded the hoart of the cit> and flooded cellars and stopped traffic if many places, notably Sixth and Market streets, popular thoroughfares.

Begin ! ning at Brownsville, on the Monongahek river, California, Monongabela City, Char leroi, east and west of Elizabeth, Port view, MoKoesport, Turtle Creek, Bessomei and many smaller hamlets have been in • und ited, or partially so, causing mucl. suffering. Tho distress of the people is aw j ful, as many fled to the hills and remain I od there all night in tho rain and colli rather than trust to their homes. The coal and coke tipple of Browuo A Co. fell with a crash above tho bridge ol the Wheeling division of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and a fleet, of 80 con; boats and barges wore cut loose from theii : moorings, completely blocking tho ohan nel from bank to hank, threatening all the craft for miles below. About half ol the fleet was saved.

Confirmation of the New .Jersey Postmas ters Who Were Politically Objection* j able to Hoburt—The House Passes th Last of the Appropriation Measures. WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. Tho senate made slow progress on tho appropriations ; bill, disposing of only one item of tho In- ' dlan bill—that directing tho opening ol Uncompahgre Indian reservation in Utah. It involved a conflict with the executive j branch, which has steadily resisted open ; ing these lands, on the groifnd that they i 1 contained valuable mineral deposits. Mr. Vilas endeavored to have a royalty re ' served to the government, but was defeat ed in this, and the clause was agreed to after a long debate. During tho session a resolution by Mr. Mills of Texas was adopted asking tlu president for information as to the death , of Dr. Ruiz at Guanabacoa, Cuba, j Mr. Morrill (Rep.) of Vermont an nounced a Cuban spoech on Thursday. In executive session the senate by a vote of 38 to 23 refused to udopt Senator Sow ell's motion to reconsider the votes by which a number of nominations for the offices of postKiastor in New Jersey were confirmed a fow days since. The tost vote i was taken on the nomination of 11. J. Kohlhaas to ho postmastor at Patorson, in which there was special interest because j of tho fact that this is tho homo of Vice President Elect Hoburt, whose name fig ured in the brief debate that preceded the vote. Mr. Sewell said that Kohlliaus was objectionable to Mr. Hobart because he was a Democrat, but lie refused to say the nominee was personally objectionable to Mr. Hoburt. The Democrats, Populists i and Silver Republicans voted solidly against reconsideration, while tho straight Republicans supported the Sevvoll motion. Tho vote bad tho effect of confirming Mr. Kohlhuus, and after the result was an nounced Mr. Sewell withdrew his objec tion to tho others involved. Civil Service In the House. The house passed the naval bill, the last of the appropriation bills, and sent it to the senate. Mr. Boutelle, chairman of the naval committee, was in cliurge of the measure and displayed such skill in its handling that its provision aroused little opposition, and it was passed practically without ameiulmont. Mr. Barrett of Massachusetts made an effort to secure an authorization for a dry dock at Boston to cost $1,000,000, but aft er a somewhat acrimonious debate the amendment was ruled out of order. Ho then tried to secure tho appointment of a commission to pass on the relative merits of Boston and Portsmouth as a location for a drydock and was also unsuccessful. Iho feature of tho session was an ex ceedingly interesting political debate on the subject of civil service reform. It oc curred during tho consideration of a bill to permit tho governors of the territories to appoint certain officers of tho territories in cases of vacancy without the consent of the legislative councils, which is now ro , quired by law. It was precipitated by gomo remarks of Mr. Bailey of Texas, which led to a de nunciation of tho law by Delegate Flynn of Oklahoma and General Grosvenor of Ohio. Every time they thrust their wcap ! ous into tho law they wore greeted with enthusiastic applause by most of the Re publicans. Mr. Bailey himself boldly declared the law to be a humbug, but lie could not re sist the temptation to muko political capi i tal by suggesting that General Grosvenor, as the representative of the incoming ad ministration, had given notice that the law I was to be repealed. ' General Grosvenor parried this neatly, however, by recalling tho fact that his first j controversy in the house with Mr. McKin j ley was over this very question. Mr. llro j sins (Rop.) of Pennsylvania, chairman of the commitfceo on oivil service, defended tho law and declared that General Grosve nor had "flashed the sword in the heart of I tho presidentelect." Ho called attention | to Mr. MoKinley's letter of acceptance, in 1 which tho president elect said he would ; take "no step backward" in tho matter of civil sorvice reform The Past Week In Congress.

LONDON, Feb. 24. —Blondin, the world famous ropewalker, is dead. Blondin was born in 1824. He was un doubtedly tho greatest of tho ropewalkers of the world. His real name was Jean Francois do Gravelot. He commenced rope walking when only 4 years old and con tinued his wonderful exhibitions up to a few months ago. At 71 lie was said to bo as active and as fearless as when in the THE CHEVALIER BLONDIN. height of his fame. On Nov. 29, 1895, ho married Catherine James at t lie Brentford registry office in England. Tho bride was many years tho junior of her husband. Blondin crossed Niagara falls on Juno 30, 1869, in tho presence of nearly 50,000 people. It was tho first time this feat had ever been attempted. The following year lie made the trip across Niagara river just above the falls nearly 50 times, and on Sept. 14, 18(50, lie carried a man across on his back. The Prince of Wales witnessed this performance, and when Blondin was presented to him the prince excluiined, "Thank God it's all over." A favorite trick of his was to carry a stove to tho middle of the tight rope span and there cook a meal, which lie would lower to the crowd below. He never used a safety net, and ho always explained that he novcr felt any fear when on the rope. The only accident which lie suffered is said toJiavo been due to the carelessness of another person. Do would never drink or smoko. Though u Frenchman by birth ho lived in England in a line villa, which lie named Niagara. Ho was fairly well to do at tho time of his death and possessed a largo number of medals presented to him by the sovereigns of the countries which he had visited during the days of his glory.

The President Disapproves the Pensions of Remarried Widow*. WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—The president returnod to the house without approvul bills pensioning Mrs. Mary A. Viol and Mrs. Mary A. Freeman. In tho case of Mrs. Viol tho veto message says that the widow of Major W. D. Sanger, having re married, sho long ago by her own deliber ate act surrendered a right to draw pen sion as tho widow of Major Sanger. A further objection is that "it is not shown that the death of tho first husband was duo to injuries received in his army service. Neither he nor his widow while she remained such presented any claim for pension. * Mrs. Freeman was pensioned as tho widow of Andrew V. P rite hard, who served in the war with Mexico and died from disease contracted in tho service. She continued to receive this ponsion until sho married John Freeman.
