The senate Spends the Day In Exec

Washington, Feb. 2O.-The open SEES
sion of the senate today lasted only
thirty minutes, the proceedings being
largely formal. The rest of the day

executive session.
4 yefy spirited debate on the general
subject of the payment Of claims found
to be due against the United States
was INDUCED in by the house during
the consideration of the general de-
ticiency appropriation bill. Mr.. Rich
ar(lson Of Tennessee had called atten-
ton to the inconsistency Of an item to
pay the costs of defending suits and
the fact that the bill contained no item
to pay the judgments. This furnished
Mr. Walker of Massachusetts i text
for Il lively speech against the mig
gardly'' and "dishonest" policy Of the
government, and severe arraignment
of the committee on rules for the
tyranny it was said to exercise over
the proceedings of the house.
Mr.. Grosvenor came to the defense
Of the committee. warmly declaring
that the house had made the rules and
should abide by them. Mr.. Mabon OF
Pennsylvania, chairman Of the war
claims committee, made the statement
that the house had been frightened by
Il ':bogie man. and that the just

Of aggregating hundreds of millions,

charged with ten millions. The con-
sideration of the bill was not COM

According to cOuriers at hand here
Gomez is preparing for active. work.
1t is Known that he has transferred
the officers of the government who
were with him past the eastern troclla
into Maguey for safety, making the
headquarters. The trocha was passed
near La Bedona without hindrance
save running fight for an hour or SO
with small scattering bands of Spanish
gucrrillas. Gen. Gomez has over 5000
good soldiers now, and he has notified
President Cisnefos that he intends to
push the Spanish generals a little. 1t
is known that Gomez has placed a
force back of Weyler, much to the lat
ters discomfeiture. and that orders
have been given that sugarmakers who
grind will do so at their peril, as the
insurgents will burn all plantations
where his orders have been disobeyed
A severe fight occurred between some
of Gen. Gomez's bands and detacl-
ment of Havana volunteers from Wey-
ler's, vanguard sixty-five miles east of
Santa Clara, the insurgents defeating
the Spanish troops and capturing one
piece Of artillery and forty men, in
Guiding four officers The fight was 4
fierce one. Spanish official reports
state that the Cubans lost 200 and the
Spanish but five. The truth is that it
was one of the worst defeats sustained
by any Spanish column and with the
greatest lass to the Spaniards, consid-
ering the number of men engaged, and
that Weyler was terribly enraged Oh
hearing of it.
