CRITICISM FOR THE SENATE.
Mor0an on a Diplomatic appropriation
for a Netp hepublic.

Morgan on n Diplomatic appropriation
for aetO hepubiic.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 1.-THE
diplomatic and consular appropriation
bill, carrying an aggregate OF 1866, ,30S,
was passed after some caustic remarks by
Morgan OF Alabama on an item Of $4,000
for Minister Plenipote n tiary to the
States of Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Saliva
dor. Two OF these States, he said, had,
according to newspaper reports, formed
with Honduras a new Government, called
the Greater Republic of Central America,
sending a Minister to Washington who
had been formally received by the Presi-
dent, and closing their respective Foreign
Offices, so that an American Minister
could hold no diplomatic relations with
them individually, but of this change the
President of the United States had not
condescended to give any information to
Congress or the people.
Morgan spoke of this state of affairs as
having brought about very awkward
IMPLICATION, but he said that he had no
proposition to make about it.
Neither had Hale (R.) of Maine, who
was in charge of the bill and who recog-
nized the force of Morgan s observations,
but said that the Com mittee on Appro-
priations had thought it better to leave
the item in the bill and let the State De-
partment arrange the difficulty in tho
way that might seem best to 1t.
An agreement was reached to have the
vote on the conference report to the i'm
migration bill taken up at P. NJ next
Wednesday.
AT l 80 o'clock the Senate went into ex-
ecuiive session on the arbitration treaty,
and continued to sit with closed doors
until 4 40 p NJ, when il adjourned.

in the United States the rumor that am
disposed to accept autonomy as basis of
settlement or solution Of the present war.
The constitution of Cuba absolutely es-
tabhshes in its article XI that peace is to
be negotiated upon the basis of The abso-
lutte independence of Cuba. 1t is to OBJ
tain independence that we have been
fighting for two years and will continue to
fight until victory be ours.
"Au the statements which have been
heretofore or may be in future published
to the effect tuat we are willing to accept
any other solution short of independence,
should be regarded as false.
1--WE will fight for absolute independ-
ence, as we stated in the manifesto issued
at Monte Cristo. as also it was later set
down in our constitution, and as we are
daily confirming it by the shedding of our
blood on the battlefields."
HAVANA. CUBA. Feb. 1.-THE Mar

left Placstas for Santa Clara, where they
will meet Capta;n-General Weyler. The
former Major Cirui ieda, who was in COM

been promoted to a colency. Colonel
Cirujeda reported to-day that he had

PUGILISTlC CARFARE.
Southern Pacific In No Hurry t,

Southern Pacific In No Hurry to
Fix the Rate to Nevada.
There are indications that Dan Stuart
and his lieutenant, Mr.. Wheelock. re-
turned to Nevada last Wednesday without
a final and satisfactory interview with
Gene al Passenger Agent T. H. Goodman
OF the Southern Pacific concerning round
trip excursion rate TO the CITY which will
be the scene OF the Corbett- Fitzsimmons
battle.
In fact Mr.. Goodman stated yesterday
that 40 final figures had been determined
upon. He said further:
There is no need of hurry in fixing
upon the local rate. The pugiistlc con-
test will not take place for several weeks.
No Eastern rates have been determined
on-at least none that we have heard of.
We would like TO know what the rate is to
be from the East"
From this it is considered probable that
no local fare to the fight will be made till
the rate from the principal Eastern points
are made public. A rate may be made
that will be an inducement to Eastern

the Grand Jury and explain his relations
with the insolvency proceedings OF Meyer
Livingston, who swore that be was made
insolvent by being robbed OF $4,000, but
when asked about the particulars OF the
alleged robbery was not able to give sat
isiactory account OF the affair.
Because Livingston could not tell any,
thing specific about the circumstances of
the supposed robbery, not remembering
whether the money alleged to have been
stolen was in green bag, blue bag, a
ouckskln purse, canvas sack or an old
stocking, he was arrested on a charge OF
perjury.
The jury which tried Livingston was
not able to agree, and Immediately after
the close OF Livingston's trial Judge Wal
lace caused the arrest of Asher, who had
been Livingston's attorney in the insol-
vency proceedings in Judge Slack's court.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. IA fur
ther consideration of the iron and steel

before the members letter from the
Treasury Department, suggesting that
provision be inserted in the new bill per-

nearest assay Office 10 the point of destina-

and the duty was fixed at IL cents per

The committee next turned its attention
to a number of minor matters in the
schedule upon which an ad valorem duty

Propositions Withdrawn and the House
Committee Favors Settlement BY
Cabinet COMMITTEES

WASHINGTON. D. c., Feb. 11.-At the
meeting of the House Committee on Pa
cific Railroads to-day it was developed
that expected support for the propositions
reported 10 have been made by Hubbard
of Mississippi relating to the settlement
of the Government had not been secured,
and they could not, therefore, be longer
considered within the category of possi-
biiities. One of these was that New
York capitalist, described as one "com-
manding the largest amount of spot cash
available by any man in the United
States,' would assume the Government
claim in full at per cent and allow per
cent of the gross earnings of the road to be
set aside as a sinking funding to pay off
the indebtedness. This gentleman, Hub
bard said, did not now desire to carry out
the terms OF the proposition.
The other was that the railroads run
ming to the Mississippi River at Kansas
City, Omaha and Sioux City would join in
a guarantee of the Governments claim
and jointly operate the road. Officers OF
two of the roads had declared this TO be
i'm practicable.
The committee ordered favorable re-
port upon Harrison's bill providing for a
settlement of the roads Indebtedness by 8

che water across into Kentucky ut Il point
four miles above Evansville and the resi-

cut which will be made deeper by the an

gagged the serious attention oc the govern

Is probable that immediate action will he
