The Cubans here have official advices
to the Goth. Quesada destroyed two i'm

The full correspondence between
Bishop Whitehouse, of Illinois, and AS
sistant Bishop Cummins, OF kentucky,
is published this evening. The former
wrote twice to the latter to disSuade
him from visiting Chicago to speak for
certain societies, one of which White
house termed schismatical and design
ed to disturb his diocese. While to
speak the other-the American Church
Missionary Society-WOuld raise Sc.
rious questions. Cummins replied that
he had accepted the invitations, and
could not yield to Bishop Whitehouse's IS
dictation. The latter then entered his
protest against the contemplated visit,
and sent a notice thereof to Bishop
Smith, of kentucky. Cummins again
replied that by becoming Bishop, he
had not renounced the right to accept
an invitation from any Rector, and en-
treated Whitehouse not to raise an issue
by denying that right. Bishop Cum
Minis preached here this morning and
evening and last Sunday, and thus the
matter stands.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, d. c., February 26.
The following are the amendments
OF the Senate Finance Committee to Mr..
Schenck's bill, which makes the first
section read as follows:
Be it enacted, &C., That in order to re-
move any doubt as to the purpose OF
the Government to discharge all its
Just obligations to the public creditors,
and to settle conflicting questions and
interpretations Of its laws, by virtue Of
which such obligations have been con-
tracted, it is hereby provided and, de.
clared that the faith of the United
States is solemnly pledged to the pay
ment in coin, or its equivalent, OF all
the obligations OF the United States, ex-
cept in cases where the law authorizing
the issue of any such obligations has
expressly provided that the same may
be paid in lawful money, currency,
other than gold or silver. The second
section legalizing coin contracts Is not
changed yet.
AS usual of late, large crowds of Wis
itors called at Headquarters this morn
ing to pay their respects to the Pres
ident elect. Several delegations OF vis-
itors from various States, accompanied
by members of Congress from their re-
sDectiye districts, called during recep-
ton hours, and were gratihed at shak-
ing hands and passing few words In
conversation with General Grant.
Impressions concerning the construc.
ton of the incoming Cabinet multiply
rapidly. but as yet there is no ground
for believing the name OF any of the
proposed members will be made public.
even an hour before the date of their
nomination to the Senate is announced
by Gen. Grant.
The public debt statement for the
present month will be issued earlier
than usual in March. The indications
of large decrease continues very good.
The House Committee on Military
Affairs to-day made a report on the or
ganization and pay of the army. They
recommend the creation of supply
department out of the quartermaster's,
subsistence and pay departments, the
consolidation of the ordnance and ar
tillery corps, and of the engineer and
signal corps, and think the engineers
can do the work of the coast survey.
They also recommend the substitution
of annual salaries for communication and
allowances that make up the pay OF
army officers, condemn the present
system of brevet rank and urge it's alb

the President power to confer brevets
