of 88 to 2:irefused to adopt Senator Sow

which a pumher of nominations for the
oftiees of i-ostmaster in Now Jersey were
confirmed a few days sini-e. 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

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was to be repealed.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

that they were unable to negotiate with
the combatants, who were resolved to fight
to the end. Both sides, Moslems and Chris

ers and therefore massacred all the ene
mies who fell Into their hands. Two thou
sand civilians and 250 Turkish troops,
with three guns, are still holding Hel I no

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

Cuba's Terms of Poaee,
Nhw York, Fob. 24. The World this
morning publishes under the head of 'Tht
Most Important Document In the Cuban
War an autograph letter written to that
paper by Salvador Cisneros, president ol
the provisional government of the Cubani
and countersigned oy Maximo bomez, tht
general in chief.
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.

HARRISON'S DAUGHTER.

Imdianapous, Feb. 3;. At B:S0 yester
day morning ex-President Harrison heard
the first cry of a little daughter who had
just opened her eyes upon a strange world
as she was banded to the nurso by Dr.
Henry Jameson, tho attending physician.
The babe was perfect in form and feature
and weighed ' pounds.
"Is It a boy.'" asked General Harrison.
"No, it Is a girl," replied tho doctor.
Mrs. Harrison's splondld health and
oourage carried her bravely through bur
ordeal. There were present besidns the
doctor Mrs. Barmuth, the nurse, and Mrs.
Parker, the devoted sister of Mrs. Har
rison. After tho bnbo had been dressed the
general asked to see her again. The little
one set up a lusty cry when the father
handed her back to the nurse. It haB been
nearly two soore years since he had a simi
lar experience. The neighbors and inti
mate friends of the family were early np
prisod of what had occurred, and many
called to congratulate the parents. The
new arrival, however, was seen by row,
Her wardrobe, It Is believed, Is the hand
