enough TO make such proposal to me- When !
was at breakfast one morning servant came TO me
aud told me a gentleman wished TO see me
In the parlor He sent me no card ana
thought II was very singular proceeding. I'M
ished my breakfast and went to the parlor, where
found man with long beard and very tall. He
commenced conversation very abruptly by saying
"Sir, you are on the wrong track about
this Cuban business; II you want to succeed
you must use money, OR something that is
worth money; you must pay the press
have great influence with certain members
OF the press who control all the Others" answered
that had too high an opinion OF tina American
press and the American people to suppose
that they could be Influenced Dy such
consideration, and told him also that
II did not believe that, why I would turn my
back on the country and leave 1t In disgust; that
would never resort to such base TO aid Cuba.
MI. Ruiz explained many other points, but as the
hour Is 80 late have no chance TO send you any
more tonight. N

cured.
After confirming large number of appointments
In executive session the Senate this afternoon, on
motion OF Mr. Schurz, again took up the resolution
calling for an investigation OF certain alleged irre-
gularlties respecting the st. Domingo treaty. Sena-
tors Morton, Thayer and Howe made charge upon
the opponents OF the treaty, stating that
they were casting insnuatiOns and had not shown
any facts on which TO found them. Mr.. Schurz set
out on a mild speech I'm reply 1t would seem with
out any definite idea In view as what he was drv-
ing at, except to attack the President The attack
renewed. when Schurz found himself 80
completely cornered that he had TO admit
that he had no other authority than Mr..
Perry, commercial agent at st. Domingo, and at
present In Washington. Sumner, who was also
committed to this investigation scheme now also ad-
mtted himself In tight place by adopting an apollo
getic course, saying he favored the move because
he wished to protect the President and wanted
pose the parties, Cazeneau and Fabens particularly,
who were the cause Of much trouble. Sumner ad-
mtted at the same time that all his nforma-
ton was from hearsay and from Perry. Morton
replied by saying so many Investigations had
been commenced and nothing came out OF
them he was opposed to any such action,
unless the Senate placed in possession Of some
facts that would warrant an investigation. As
neither the Senator from Massachusetts, Missouri
could give any facts he would to lay the reso
luton on the table. The motion was carried by 20
TO 18.
AS was well remarked this evening" sometimes
men say too much and their efforts, enthusias-
tic, react upon themselves. This appears to have
|
felt by the friends of the treaty at the result
of the storm. 1t was agreed, however. by the ma
jority that the treaty should be acted on first.
and then Investigation could be made 10 satisfy
Schurz, Sumner and other nervous individuals, ana
IL anything was found improper the parties could be
looked after and their claims annulled
not regular. A start was then made 10 fix
time for the consideration Of the treaty,
but as the Senate had thinned ont very
materially it was agreed not TO take vote. There
| is q wide spreading opinion now among Senators
that the necessary twothrds will be obtained, and
that the treaty will be ratified 1t is thought that
| the Senate Will move an early executive session
tomorrow. and that the question OF taking the sub
| ject up for final disposition will then be fixed.
| This evening q large number Of Senators met at
the Executive Mansion relative to the resolution Of
| investigation. General Sackett, who accompanied
| General Hancock to st. Domingo, was not present
The action of the Senate informally discussed by
all present General Sacke stated that the idea of any
improper arrangement between those who nego
tated the treaty and outside parties absurd. I'll
was the only person on the part of the representa-
tves OF our government who spoke the Spanisl
language, and ali the negotiations, converse
tions and arrangements were made through
him. He assured the President and the Sen
atOrs that nothing was said or done that could
be construed into anything improper 1t was gene
rally agreed that, were there time TO conduct the
proposed investigation, the result would show that
nothing had been done which would injure the pros
pect OF the treaty.
