WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE bill
providing for the refunding of the debt
OF the Pacific railways was defeated In

with members standing about arguing
the merits of the bill. The galleries
also were filled. 1t required some

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-A Key West
dispatch TO the World says:
Evidences of awful butcheries at
Guanabacoa accumulate daily. Ad-
vices from Havana report that a great
pit filed with corpses and human frag-
ments was discovered Monday in a
canefield, not more than q mile from
that place. A careful investigation re-
vealed at least 20 whole bodies and
| many more legs and arms. other parts
OF the dismembered bodies being
| missing.
OF the bodies remaining entire, four
were those of women, three of young
misses, one of girl not more than 10
years old, four of boys, and the rest of
men.
Permission to bury the remains was
brutally refused, with threat that if
this slaughter was complained of. many
more would be added to what the
Spanish officials called the "Cuban
diet" pile.
The edict refusing permission to re-
move furniture and other things unless
asked for "a hours previously is taken
advantage of by the Spanish soldiers
to wreck buildings and revile and in
suit, if not kill, persons suspected of
Cuban leanings.
Some families in the poorer sections
of the city, who did not know of the
edict, started to more Sunday night.
After they had loaded their furniture
on wagons, the police and soldiers
fred on them, killing eight persons,
including several innocent passers-by.
In the official report it was stated that
the troops had been attacked and
several rebels had been killed.
A girls school near the center of
the town was entered by troops one
day last week, and the principal, an
elderly Cuban-born woman, very prom
inent, was compelled to kneel to the
officer in command and beg pardon for
using translations OF printed
in the United States. The girl pupils
were insulted and rndely treated until
the school was broken up in disorder.
A complaint to the commandant
only excited laughter that ''such
little thing" was complained of.
Havana is much agitated by rumors
of victory by Gomez: troops. of the sue
cessful crossing OF the trocha into
Pinar del Rio, and of several routs of
Spanish troops.
General Weyler is execrated on
every hand, but on account of the
severe censorshipan Weyler's system
of spies, no one dares say word aloud.
Every one thinks his neighbor a spy,
and little can be learned from any one.
Spies by the hundred attend the open
air concerts, and the least dissatisfae-
tion expressed is used as pretext and
the victim is thrust into Cabanas or
Moro castle, most likely never to be
seen again by friends. or kindred.
Scarcely night passes but 10 to 20
persons disappear, and every one
knows what that means.

Thieves Who Entered Salem Station Have

SALEM, Jan. 10.-The mail pouch and
Wells-Fargo express box, taken from
the Southern Pacific depot last night,
were found today. The mail pouch
was found 300 yards from the depot,
and the express box 800 yards west of
the depot. The mail pouch was cut
open, but there being no registered
letters or valuable packages, the
papers and letters were left. The ex-
press box was broken open by with
drawing the lock staple. There were
no articles in it of value except a
package of India paints, which the
burglar took for his bounty.
In the express-room, the burglars
left an iron pin two feet long. 1t is
very much like spikes used by circuses
in pinning down tents. 1t evidently
was used in drawing the staple from
the door of the baggage-room, through
which entrance was made.

Angio-American Arbitration is an Ac-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE prop
osition for a general arbitration
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain is now an accomplis he'd
fact. Lord Salisbury has assented to
the last suggestion from this side and
nothing remains but the attachment of
the formal signatures of Secretary
Olney and Sir Julian Pauncefote, the
latter having been clothed with au.
thority by Lord Salisbury. These
signatures will be alike d today.
The treaty must be submitted to the
United States senate for approval, and
in view of the short time remaining of
the present session of congress every
effort will be made to have It SUBJ
