bond feature Of the bin ranging from q
proposition for the substitution of an iu-
cOme-taX provision 10 an authorize ton

an were voted down. At the last minute
the Democrats decided 90 offer the motion
to recommit with instructions TO report

no CASE or TREASON.
There was absolutely no foundation for
the sensational reports cabled from here
that "a case Of treason had been discOv-
cred on board the United States monitor
Puritan The rumor arose from the strang'
actions of a fireman with "a spanish
sounding name. now under restraint on
tho Warship because Of his recent cccen-
ticiucs. There is no thought of trying
the man by court-martial, the officers Of
the Puritan declare. and all the tank
about treason is absurd.
II appears that a few days ago the
man in question was seen In one of the
monitors turrets, and the man who saw
him reported that he had his hand on the
lock OF the magazine. whereupon the
first man was placed under restraint
The crew of the monitor immediately be-
came excited. and declared there was

they assert positively that b. has never

With Spain. but they add. ON the con-
trary. when The Puritan was of Ma

Captain H. +. Harrington, commander
OF the United States monitor Puritan,
and the commanding officer Of the Car

alleged bombardment OF lhat port by the
Puritan and the gunbOat Machins. He
says there are no Spanish batteries there,
