| Washington, Jan. 31.-President Nc
Kinley has decided to send to Havana
a special emissary, whose duty will be
the distribution of the supplies sent
there by the Central Cuban relief COM
mittee of this city. The committee
has appointed sub committees all over
the east and south, and contributions
in the way of clothing and provisions,
furniture and cooking utensils, have
been so great that when they were
shipped to Havana, General Fitzhugh
Lee, to whom they were CONSIGNED,
found himself entirely unable to handle
them with his limited supply of help.
Besides distributing the supplies, it
will be the duty of the agent to inform
the revenue inspectors of Havana about
the goods sent by the relief committee
and to distinguish them from dutiable
shipments.
Stephen E. Barton, the local chair
man of the committee, in an interview
said that the responsible people of the
United States, to requests for aid for
the impoverished residents of Cuba,
had always been prompt and that at
times the supplies were so great that
they could scarcely be handled.

Teller Resolution Rejected by Strict,
Party Vote.
Washington, Feb. 1.-The house has
buried the Teller resolution, declaring
the bonds of the United States payable
in silver, under an adverse majority of
fifty votes. The Republicans were
solidly arrayed in opposition, with two
exceptions, Mr.. Linney of North Caro-
lima, who voted with the Democrats
and Populists, and Mr.. White of North
Carolina, the only colored member of
the house who answered present.
when his name was called. The de-
sertions from the Democratic side were
McAleer of Pennsylvania and Mr.
Elliott of South Carolina.
The vote was reached after five hours
of debate under special order adopt
ed at the opening of the session yester-
day The limited time allowed for
debate and the pressure of members
for an opportunity to be heard, was so
great that the leaders on both sides
were compelled to farm out the time
by minutes. This detracted much
from the continuity of the discussion,
but in some measure intensified the |
interest in the galleries, which were
crowded all day, and the contestants |
on the floor were cheered by their re-
spective sympathizers. The majority
assumed the position that the last
clause of the resolution was in reality
n disguised declaration for the free
coinage of silver, while the assault.ng
Democrats maintained that the defeat

LAST CHINESE OUTRAGE.
German Sailors Murdered by the Chinese
Rabble.

Shanghai, China, Jan. 31.-A dis
patch from Chez Foo states that a
German sailor named Schulz, belong
ing to the cruiser Kaiser, was assas-
sinated while on outpost duty at Tsiao,
the extreme German post in Kiao Chou
bay. The crime. which was comitted
by the Chinese rabble, was not discov-
cred until three men of the corporal's
guard were making the rounds in order
to relieve the sentries. Then Schulz
was discovered lying in a pool of blood,
his head having been severed from his
body. The relieving guard was directly
attacked by hundred of
the bloodthirsty Chinese, and after a
stubborn fight all of the sailors were
killed. Twelve natives were killed
during the engagement.
1t is added that in consequence of
the outrage the greatest excitement
prevails at Kiao Chou, and It's believed
