Senator Sargent objected to dispensing with

sideration of the bill to pension soldiers of the
Mexican and Indian wars, and after speeches
by Williams of Alabama, Williams of Oregon
Ryan, White and Riddle, the committee pro

During speech made by Mr. Singleton he
sent to the clerks desk and had read letter
from Jefferson Davis requesting him (Single-
ton) to inform the friends of the bill that if
the success of the bill depended on excluding
him Davis from its benefits he hoped that
such provision would be inserted in it. MIR.
Singleton proceeded to eulogize Davis, declar-
ing that this was but another proof of his great
magnanimity and explained that that gentle
man had been in favor of delaying as long as
possible the act of secession passed by Missis-
sippi in hopes of reconciliation with the
North.

ations needed by the navy department, to be

WASHINGTON NOTES.
HAYES SENDS n SPECIAL .4GENT TO
CUB4. =
To Hunt for Negroes kidnapped and En-
Shaved and to Visit the Cuban Insurgents
Sherman All Ready to Begin Coming
Silver Dollars.

WASHINGTON Feb. 26.-Several weeks ago the
President received a letter from reliable
| source, stating that the writer was in posses-
sion of facts capable of direct proofs, to the eff
feet that colored men, citizens of Florida. had
been kidnapped and transported across the Gulf
of Mexico to Cuba and sold into slavery. The
writer says members of families of some of the
enslaved citizens had received intelligence from
Cuba, from their relatives. stating that they
were held in bondage there, and the matter was
communicated to the chief Executive of the
United States for such action in the premises
as might be deemed best calculated to vindicate
American dignity, in view of procedure 40
grossly III violation of the civilization of the
times. The contents of the letter occasioned
much surprise to the President. With a view
to ascertaining the truth OF the statement. h.
concluded to dispatch a confidential agent to
Cuba for that purpose. Such an agent was
found in Judge Leonard, Rcpub-
hcan member from Louisiana, in the
House OF Representatives, gentleman discreet
and courteous, and familiar with the Spanish
language. 1t was thought advisable to pursue
this direct course instead of making the subject
basis Of diplomatic correspondence. Judge
Leonard, a few days ago. obtained indefinite
1C"vC VI dDhcuCe from Gne House. ana left New
York for Havana on the steamship Columbus
on Wednesday last, carrying with him letter
from President Hayes to the Captain General
and also from Senior Mantllla, the Spanish
minister, addressed to the same officer, to
whom Judge Leonard will make known the
objects of his mission. 1t is not doubted that
the Captain General will afford him facility for
the accomplishment of his mission, besides ex-
tending his own Investigations in the same
| direction.
Another object of the mission is to ascertain
the true condition of the insurgents the official
| accounts and those from insurrectionary sources
being contradictory. While one represents a
decline Of the insurrection the other asserts the
contrary, and agents have been here in behalf
OF the insurgent Cubans with view to recoe-
milton of their independence by the United
States. The captain general will doubtless ex-
tend to Judge Leonard the necessary facilities
for visiting the insurrectionary district, as
Spain uniformly shows disposition to pre-
serve and strengthen friendly relations be-
tween the United States and Spain, which have
never been more amicable than they are
now.
Should it be found true that negroes are kid
mapped in Florida any other Southern State
and conveyed to Cuba and sold into slavery.
immediate measures will be adopted to prevent
al such future outrages on persons and viola
tions of international law.
The objects of the mission are not publicly
known, care having been taken to conceal
them but the above statement is confirmed in
quarters which leaves no room for doubt.

Maiden, Mo-, that Robinson, one of the princi-

that Numlee was going to be

Work on the Episcopal Chapel has been

vestry room 16Xc0 feet is we'll proportion
ed and will be, when completed, beauti-
full chapel. The frame is up, the vestry
sided and shinsled and the main building
ready fer both. It is in condition for an
advantageous resumption Of work early in
the spring. The work has been carried on
under the immediate supervision of the
Rev. 4. G. Hunter whose energy and de-
voted attention toit has accomplished more
than any one, acquainted with the limited
means at his disposal, thought possible.
He has not only given it supervisory atten-
ton but has performed an amount Of man.

progress CT the work. We persume that
the completion Of the building will de-
pend, as to time, on the pecuniary assist
ance that shalt be received. We are no,
definitely informed regarding the financial
condition and prospect Of the church bu,
understand that, like al mission church hes,
it needs outside help and that such assist
