HEsUPPLEMENTAL BANKING BILL.
The House had a lively time to-day over
the supplemental banking bill, which was
supposed to have been killed yesterday.
After come sharp parliamentary skirnish-
ing the bill was passed, including Coburn's
amendment making property and popula-
ton the basis Of redistribution. This is
regarded as o triumph of the West and
South over the fnancially-powerful East,
and as the same interests and proportionate
strength in favor of the bill as that which
carried it in the House is found in the
Senate, the belief is that the measure will
pass the latter body.
THE ALABAMA CLAIMS TREATY.
q special session of the Senate Foreign
Affairs Committee WAS held to-day for the
purpose of taking final action on the Ala
bama claims treaty. Senator Sumner
stated his objection to the treaty, which
was that, if it was ratified, the Govern
ment of the United States virtually sur
rendered every important principle laid
down by MIR. Adams as the basis Of the
settlement of pending issues between the
two Governments. The other members of
the committee, excepting Senator Bayard,
maintained similar views !; and when the
vote was taken it stood six to one in favor
of making IN adverse report. When the
question comes up in the Senate for con-
sideration it will give rise to considerable
debate, az there are a number of Re-
publicans as well as Democrats who will
favor its ratification. But it will be impos-
sible to overcome the vote of the committee.
As soon as the action Of the committee was
known outside of the room it was communi-
Gated to Secretary Seward, who Immediately
telegraphed the result to Reverdy Johnson
with instructions to communicate it to the
English Ministry.
THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
The river and harbor bill which was re-
committed to the Senate Committee on
Commerce was under consideration to-day
by that committee. They will report it
back with a few amendments, with the IN
derstanding that there is but g slight hope
of getting action on it at this session.
A DELEGATION FROM TEXAS.
A delegation from Texas arrived here
to-day, having been sent by the convention
to urge upon Congress the question of
dividing that State into two States.

MORE TROOPS FOR CUBA.
The Press in Cuba-Proclsmaff0n Of
saptaIn.General DuIce, &c.

NEW YORK, February 16.--A specialfrom
Havana, February 18th, via Key West the
10th, says the Captain-General has issued
q decree abolishing the freedom of the press
and rcGstablishing the censorship. Mill
tary trials are also restored. General Dulce
threGtens with the s~everest punishment
those who continue in rebellion after le-
niency and amnesty have been extended to
them. Many Spaniards. as well as the
lower classes of the people, are opposed to
the policy adopted by the Captain-G General.
Members of the Cuban party are alarmed,
and continue to fly from the island IN large
numbers. Gold is quoted at eight per cent.
premium. The citizens are to raise $751;
600, 900 for the Government. Five batta-
lions Of volunteers are organizing. Repre-
sentatives have been sent to Washington in
regard to the Imprisonment of American
citizens. General Dulce refused to listen
to appeals in their behalf by the American
Consul becauee the latter is considered to
have no diplomatic character.
The Spaniards threaten to extermlnate
the d~isloyalists who continue in revolt after
the amnesty proclamation. In this respect
the soldiers sympathize with the Spaniards,
aud neither the volunteers nor the Govern
ment will be able to protect members Of the
revolutionary party from violence.
The rebel forces in the districts Of Villa
Clara and ~Cienfuegos number over 5000.
They arc divided into three parties -one
Near Ciengo Mantero, another near CANT
nayca, and q third near Manecavagua.
They have destroyed the railroads aad tele-
graph lines. Great confusion prevails at
Trinidad.
Railroad and telegraph communication
with that city is cut off. A great number OF
Young men are leaving the cities and join
ing the rebellion. An engagement took
place at San Christoval. The insurgents
were under command of Garcia Prieto.
The Government troops were defeated anu
compelled to retreat. 1t is supposed that
the object of Prieto is to aid the landing at
the port of mulattoes of an expedition un-
der Cigneros.
I'm action took place at Guanajay in
which twenty Spaniards we're wounded.
The rebels hold the line Of railroad between
Sagua and Villa Clara. Twelve persons
have been arrested ct Cartienas among
them the British Consul.
Advices from Ncuvitas are to the llth
instant. An encounter took place in that
vicinity in which the insurgents lost thirty
killed and wounded, including Dr.. Anglia
Cos. A portion Of the Bencgaris volunteers
arrived at Gevara on the 10th from lol-
quin, and the rebels have since disappeared
from that neighborhood.

i"3ss reports the following:
"Aruilian who recently committed rape OIL
4 young jersey woman was brought up yes

that his crime demanded It sentence of
twenty years imprisonment, but as the
poor creature whom he had violated re-
quested that the criminal might be com
PEELED to marry her, the Recorder permitted
him to 90 free GU fulfilling that condition.
The Recorder then married them IN the
spot, and told the fellow that # nc didn't
treat the girl well the sentence Of twenty
years would yet be inflicted. When the
probable future life Of this unfortunate
victim IS considered, It may be q question
whether her judgment in demanding mar
riage, or that of Recorder liackett in per-
forming il, was most 2t fault"

Louis Philippe, in 1910, by permission Of
the British Government, removed the re-
mains Of Napoleon I. from St. Helena, and
deposited them, on December 18th Of that
year, in the Hotel dies Invalides. On Jaru-
AIRY 18th last, the French Senate had before
it two petitions calling for the removal of
the remains of Louis Philippe from England
to France. The grounds brought forward
in one of these petitions we're that the late
King had brought the bones Of Napoleon
from St. Helena to France; but the Senate
rejected the petitions, laying down "that
the pious duty Of restoring these noble
ashes to their native soil belonged exclu-
sively to the family of the illustrious dead"

New YORK, February ia special re-
cei7cd here, dated Havana the 18th, says 4:
Insurgents have appeared in the district Of
Gallon under the leadership of Colonel
Meian, IL Mexican officer. In the Cuzco
mountains two thousand men are awaiting
the signal 10 revolt. There are other Next
can officers in command of insurgents in
this district and other parts of the island.
The Cuban passengers who were found on
board the schooner Gaolanie have been
tried in a maritime court for treason, and
sentenced to death but Captain-General
0ulce will probably commute the sentence,
ani send them out Of the island to some
convict station.
The schooner has been declared a legal
prize, of which judgment the British Con-
sol notified his Government. He has also
expressed hopes that the captain and crew
of the schooner will be released.
Advices from Trinidad to the 9th have
been received. The American Consul there
had joined the insurgents and turned over
his Office to another person. The insur-
gents hold Tnnas, and have many Spanish
prisoners. The wife of Captain-G91c-"l
Dulce will soon leave for spair.
