WASHINGTON, April 8, 1852
American Citizens in Havana to be Pro-
tected.
Major w. W. Leland, now in this city, to-day re-
ceived the following telegraphic despatch-
ST. JULIEN HOTEL, NEW YORK, April 8, 1869.
My father has been arrested by the Spaniards.
He is an American citizen. Try to save him from
death. EMILIA c. DE VILLAURDE.
Major Leland, knowing Mr.. Casanova the lady's
father, well, and that he is American citizen. i'm
medatefy called upon the President, who by tele-
graph ordered Admiral Hor IN command OF our
naval forces at Havana, to protect all American

A Stormy Executive Session-General Long
streets Nomination Confirmed.
The executive session Of the Senate to-day was
again occupied with the discussion of General Long
streets nomination to the Coectorship Of New Or.
leans. Mr.. Scott resumed his argument against the
appointment insisting that it was premature and
that sufficiently large Union element existed In
Louisiana to demand recognition from a republican
administration. Mr.. Carpenter held that the
irmaiion OF Longstreet would be an unwse prece-
dent to set and would prove in its effect upon the
elections in his State Of Wisconsin. 1t might suit
the interests Of some Southern Senators to
nave tnlS nomination approved, DuL tne lOyal
people of the Northern States would feel little
less than shocked at finding rebel OF Longstreet's
antecedents put in place OF trust and emolument
at this brief st ate since the rebellion ended. Mr..
Stewart said he hoped the nomination would pass.
lie had listened to great deal OF argument about
General L0ngstreet being notorious rebel and
unfit, even though reclaimed, to occupy any place
under the government. This he held TO be bad logic,
for those who the most notorious rebels were,
after ALL the most desirable ones to see converted;
ana he had no fears that any regret would
he expressed in any quarter for comforting
this position on General Longstreet. Mr.. Howard
talked bitterly against the confirmation. He would
nothing like favors being showered on men who did
their utmost to destroy this government. They had
abused the confidence and trust OF the government
before, and were not unlikely to do 80 again. Mr..
Morrill, spoke in Longstreers favor, and Mr.. Nye
said few words In his behalf. Mr. Corbett was In
opposition. Mr.. Thurman, democrat said he should
vote for the confirmation on the ground that, being
In favor OF removing the disabilities OF every South
ern man, he saw no objection TO the present
appointment when no charges OF incompetency
or dishonesty were found TO exist. Mr. Kel.
logg made an eloquent speech 6f half
an hour in Longstreet's favor, pointing
out the service he had rendered the republican
In New Orleans and elsewhere, and quoted from
well he sympathized with the party and the sacrifice
OF old associations he was compelled to make In
doing 40. "Should you reject him." said Mr.. Kel.
Iogg 'qhe rebel element OF New Orleans will ex-
claim, there IL O man who Inundated himself to
curry favor with the radicals, and now they spurn
him from them when he seeks some recognition at
their hands," Mr.. Sumner argued strongly against
the confirmation, after which the vote was taken,
resulting in the passage OF the nomination by vote
OF rs to 10.
The Tenure of ONCE Bill.
The amended Tenure OF once bill had not been
aligned by the President up to noon to-day. The ap
prehension exists that some mistake has been made
In the enrolling OF the bill, as prominent members
OF both houses diner as to Its construction so the
bill may he returned to Congress for correction.
