Etc., inc. -Ktc. Etc. tiic FROM WASHINGTON. The Addllltinl Five, Ver Dents. Special Despatch to Th Evening Telegraph. Washington, Dec. 12. Secretary Bsntwell made an argument before the Ways and Means Committee this morning In favor of issuinsr. three hundred millions of additional five per cent, bonds for the purpose of funding; the public debt. The Secretary gave It as his opi nion that he would not be able to negotiate the four per cent, bonds during the continuance of the war in Europe. lie has no means of knowing how long the war will last, and it is necessary that a certala amount of the debt shall be funded at an early day. The Secretary proposes to negotiate five hundred millions at home. Two hundred mil lions are already provided for in the bill which passed last winter. The committee heard the Secretary very patiently, and although no action was taken, the impression is that they will re port a bill carrying out the proposition of the Secretary. The Nnanr Interest.

The Pennsylvania delegation is very much demoralized to-day over an an nouncement which comes from tho White House, that General Pleasanton, of New York, will be sent in to-day for Commissioner of In ternal Revenue. The supposition is that Grant, in order to appease the Pennsylvanians, will give that State a place in the Cabinet. The Han Doiiudbo IhIshiob. Senator Howard, who was chairman of the Hatch San Domingo investigating committee last session, has evidence in his hands to show that the man Hatch, who was imprisoned by Baez in San Domingo, is not an American citi zen. It appears that he went from this country some time ago, and was naturalized as a Spanish subject in Porto Rico. This debars him from all claims to protection from the American Gov ernment.
