The tost vote was taken on the nomination of H. J. Kohlhaas to be postmaster at Paterson, In which there was special interest because of the fact that this is the home of Vice President Kleot Holwirt, whoe name fig ured in the brief debate that receded the vote. Mr. Pewell said that Kohlhaas wa objectionable to Mr. Hobart because h was a Democrat, but he refused to say tht nominee was personally objectionable tc Mr. Hobart. 1 he 1 emocratst Populist and Silver Republicans voted solidly against reconsideration, while the straight Republicans supported the Sowell motion. The vote had the effect of confirming Mr. Kohlhaas, and nfter the result was an nounced Mr. f-ewell withdrew his objec tion to the others involved. Civil Sorvlc In the Hons, The house passed the naval bill, the Inst of the apj roprtation bills, and sent it to the senate. Mr. lioutelle, ohairman of th navnl committee, was In chargo of the measure and displayed such skill In It handling that its provision aroused little opposition, and It wag passed practically Without amendment. Mr. Barrott 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 dohnte the amendment was ruled out of order. He then tried to secure the appointment of a commission to pass on the relative merits of Boston and Portsmouth as a location for a drydock and was also unsuccessful. 1 he feature of the session was an ex ceedingly Interesting political debate on the subject of civil sorvloe reform. It oc curred during the consideration of a bill to permit the governors of the territories to appoint certain officers of the territories In oases of vacancy without the consent of the legislative councils, whloh Is now re quired by law. It was precipitated by some remarks ot Mr. Bailey of Texas, which led to a de nunciation of the law by Delegate Flynn of Oklahoma and Goneral Grosvenor of Ohio. Kvery time thoy thrust their weap ons into the law they were greeted with enthusiastic applause by moat of the Re publicans. , Mr. Bailey himself boldly declared the law to be a humbug, but he oould not re sist the temptation to make political capi tal by suggesting that General Grosvenor, as the representative of the Incoming ad ministration, had given notice that the law was to be repealed. General Grosvenor parrlod this neatly, however, by recalling the fact that his first controversy In tho house with Mr. McKln ley was over this very question. Mr. Bro slus (Rep.) ot Pennsylvania, ohairman ot the oommittee on civil servloe, defonded the law and declared that General Grosve nor hod "flashed the sword in the heart of the president elect " He called attention to Mr. MoKinley's letter of acceptance, In which the president elect said he would take "no step backward" In the matter of civil sorvloe reform The Past Week la Congress, Washington., Feb. 18.

The Hornld this morning prints tho following from its Ha- vnnn oomMfomK'tit, spnt by way of Key West: Consul funeral ICe has roelgnod. His Irtter tendering his mil gnat ion under cer tain conditions goes by the next mail. He determined some dnys ngo to take Burn a step if he wore not upheld In his efforts to protect all American cltir.ens in Cults. Ihe consul general aked the state de partment that he lie authorized to demand the release of citizens of the United States confined in Cuban prisons trader the same illegal clreumntiineos as was the 111 fa tod Ruts. Huch 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 the impor tant incidents of the last few days. Cerent anxiety is felt at the palace and In all official circles at the news from Clen fuogofl, which states that that city is the center of a serious mutiny of the Spanish troop. Large arrears of pay are d ue the OKNKRAL F1TZ HTTOH LER. army In Cuba, and the discontent caused bv this has culminated In open disobedi ence In the Spanish ranks In the Cienfuo- gos district. The insurgents In the pastern end of the island have captured Bay a mo, an Impor tant town in Santiago. Tho Brutal ftlauchter of Rata, Havana, via Key West, Feb. 20. Dr. Bl chard Ruiz, a naturalized American citizen, was found dead In his cell in the Guanabocoa jail Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. There Is little doubt that he was beaten to death by his jailers at Fondes Viola's orders. Dr. Ruiz, who studied and practiced dentistry in Philadelphia for many years. was arrested some ten days ago and charged wlfti having helped Aranguren's band to derail a train some weeks ago, when two Spanish officers wore captured. The ol large was of the flimsiest character, as every one In Giianabacoa knew that Ruiz attended strictly to his business and took no interest in poliloal or revolution ary movements. The Spanish authorities, as usual, failed to notify the consul general of the stop they had taken, and General Lee only learned from unofficial sources of the high banded proceedings. Of course, the only crime of which Ruts was guilty was American citizenship, and for this he has now been done to death in a most brutal and Inhuman manner. When the 7U hours had elapsed during which by Spanish law prisoners may be kept Inaccessible, General Iee demanded that a lawyer and a representative of the consulate be admitted to see the prisoner. The state department was informed of the situation by General Jjee, but he received no reply. Whether instructed or not General Iet3 will take all the steps which the situation demands and perform his duty to his fel low citizens. Cuba's Terms of Poaee, Nhw York, Fob. 24.

The letter was approved by the to called oabinet of the provisional government and bears the seal of the Infant republic It if as 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 b ended on the basis of independence by tht payment of an indemnity by Cuba to Spain with the United States as arbltra tor?' "On tho basts of tndependenoe It will be possible to enter into negotiations. These should provide for the evacuation ol the island by the Spanish and for the fu ture relations between Spain and the new Cuban republic. "We believe there should also be ln eluded an indemnity to be paid Spain, pro vided the amount is reasonable. This would be honorable, practicable and good for all. . "But if done It should be done as soon as possible. The indemnity should pre vent the further loss of blood and of mon ey, and It would save the economic re source, the people who nave sworn to the complete destruction of the Uland be fore they wiU submit anew to the domin ion of Spain. "Each day that passes causes fresh hatred and devastation. Soon the produc ing capacity of the country will be de stroyed. ' Cuba can pay less as time passes, not only bsjeauae each moment she earns less, but it will be increasingly dimcult for her to fulfill the stipulations and agreement the is now able to make. "The indemnity to Spain should take the form of the acknowledgment and guarantee by Cuba of a part of the debt already contracted by Spain or the pay ment of a sum In bonds or In money to Spain. ' We would not doein It Inadvisable for the United Statu? to Intervene as arbitra tor or semioltiuiully as the friends uf both eidus, providiug always that the Island of Cuba shall not suoriiioe thereby her own sovereignty.
