The Cabinet Crisis-Rcsignation Of Attorney
General Hoar.
There seems to be no doubt that number of
changes are on hand IN the Cabinet. Hoar has
certainly resigned his position as Attor-
ney General and Fish and others will probably
follow suit. The President, Ia conversation with
some Senator's to-day, expressed the determination
OF getting men around him as his advisers who are
acceptable to the republican party, aud in harmony
with it. 1t is understood that Hoar's resignation
win be accepted without delay. shall probably be
able tomorrow to inform you Of other changes in
the Cabinet.
In the meapttme the town is agog with rumors
that Perpont, OF New York. or elegant Ben Brews-
Ter, Of Pennsylvania, or Dan Dougherty or some
ether coming Keysioner is to get the succession in
the Attorney Generalship. while the gossslps mgSe
John A. Dix, Ben Butler and even Nathaniel the
Bod, of Massachusetts, the future ruler OF diplomats
and foreign policies.
The Cuban Observation-Disclosures of Men,
bers at General Buffers Course.
The Cuban question monopolized a lions share
OF the attention ofCongress again to-day and the
public OF Washington filled the galleries to hear the
speechts and witness the closing proceedings,
upon which 1t may be said that the fate OF
the "ever faithful' depends. General Jordan,
late COMMANDMENT Chief of the Cuban forces,
and Sehor Ruiz, together with a host of
Cubans, male and female, occupied front seats and
listened to the debate with the keenest interest.
The first three hours and half Of the session were
taken up in dlsposng Of Garfelds Banking and Cur
reney bill, and then, at half-past two p H., the
Speaker awarded the floor to Fernando Wood, OF
your city, who made q strong and telling
speech in favor OF the majority report
Mr. Wood made one very strong point,
brought out In my correspondence published
last Monday-namey, that General Butler exceeded
his authority when he engaged In the Cuban lobby
investigation, having been charged by the House
only to report how and through whose fault the
timony in the gold conspiracy case got prema-
turey into print. Mr.. Wood connected this singular
pryng disposition OF Butler with the recent pubca.
tion Of the bond lobby story and the unexpected
message from the President three remarkable oc
currences, which, he hinted, pointed to plot to
strangle the attempt to do something in Congress In
favor Of Cuba. Ben Butler very suardedly denied
that his committee had given out the bond story but
when Banks asked him II he had NO. gone about the
House exhibiting bonds OF the republic Of Cuba he
acknowledged the corn. General Butler has excited
great indignation against himself by his course Oh
the floor Of the House yesterday, when he went
about exhibiting bonds said to have beenAsome of
those captured by General Butler In the course Of
his investigation Of the lobby and which ne hawk ed
about repeating the canard about the plot to bribe
Congress. His operations were so transparent that
every honorable member was disgusted, and
some expressed themselves in language
more pungent than parliamentary. But
10 return. Mr. Woods speech was listened to with
the utmost attention to-day. and was followed by
one on the other side by MI. Willard, Of Vermont, a
man of hard facts and no sympathles.
-Mr. Willard made good speech from his stand
point-the best, IN TACT, that has been made
In favor Of the administration policy. But Mr.
WIZARDS speech made no Impression upon
the House. Ben Butler was recognized by the
Speaker shortly after four O'Clock. There was
mingled feeling of curiosity and anxiety to
hear what he had to say on the
question OF the hour. 1t had been
given out by that he against the resolution
reported by the majority of the committee, and by
others that he the friend OF Cuba and in favor OF
Cuban independence. IL was known that some
months ago Butler was in favor not only OF neutrality
on the part of the United States, as between
Cuba and Spain, but that he was the earnest advo-
cate OF granting the Cubans begerent rights The
knowing ones, however, were not deceived. In his
inves gatlon Of the alleged use Of Cuban bonds to
influence the voies OF members, and In his general
everyday talk with members on the floor Of the
House, it was apparent t.at change had come over
him relative to Cuba. Whenhe started out to-day,
therefore, by declaring that he was the friend
Of the Cubans and that he wished them attain
their indeI endence, everybody on the floor Of the
House and many IN the galleries knew just how
much sincerity there was in his statements. He
aroused no enthusiasm and created no feeling Of SYM
pathy. HIS assurances OF friendly feeling towards
Cuba were received at their real value and when he
launched out against the report OF General Banks
and commenced reviewing that gentleman's
speech OF yesterday nobody was disappointed.
1t was what a majority Of those present expected
Butlcr commanded greater attention than any per-
son who had spoken on that side Of the question.
He was manifestly regarded as the ablest champion
OF the opposition to Cuba, and the members seemed
determined 10 listen attentively to all he had TO
say
First OF ALL he defended Secretary Fish from the
assault made upon him last night by Mr.. Fitch, OF
Nevada. He believed him to be pure patriot who
trying to do the best he could. He had read the
card Of Mr. Sidney Webster, published some time
ago. In reply TO statement that he was largely feed
by the Spanish government Upon hearing this
Mr.. Fitch arose aud ,etracted what he said last
night about Mr.. Webster Butler next proceeded
TO defend Caleb Gushing and to pass eulogy upon
that gentleman. He knew, he said that Mr.
Cushing was not In the employ OF the Spanish gov.
ernment and that he had not written the Presidents
message. relative to Cuba. He thanked God
that we have a President Secretary Of
State and an Attorney General who can write their
own messages. This much he thought proper to say
In reply to the speech Of his colleague, General
Banks. It was noticed however, that Banks did
not retraot what he said yesterday about Cushing
and Fish. Butler went on to review the report Of
Banks ana to compare It's statements with that gen.
tlemnn's speech. He argued that the government
had shown Cuba the same chance 1t had shown
Spain.
At this point Sam Randall tPennsylvanla) shouted

the time and place, won't your"
As Butler was going on to sneak without noticing
