DRAMATIC SCENE BETWEEN
REEVES AND RATHBONE.

Havana, Jan. 14.-A damatic Incl
dent of the postofice trial this after
noon was the confronting of Rath-
bone and Reeves, regarding the state
ment Reeves alleges Rathbone made
after the latter's return to the United
States in November, 1899, and two
months after the stamps were burned.
When Reeves took the stand Rath-
bone was sitting opposite him. Reeves
said that Rathbone told him that
Medley had arranged the matter of
the burning of the surcharged stamps,
SO that the frauds would not be dis
covered. Rathbone here asked Reeves
if he was willing to swear to this
statement. Reeves replied: EYES,"
to which Ratnbone said, God help
you" Reeves occupied himself dur
ing the trial with making copious
notes. He is a most enthusiastic wit
ness for the government. Rathbone
admitted having received the letter
from Medley after his arrest. He
said that it was in answer to a cable
gram he sent him to return when In
spector General Charles Burton re-
ported a shortage in the postal &C.
counts. On the bottom of this letter
was written destroy this letter.
Rathbone said this letter was deliver
cd to him by special agents and that
70 opened it in their presence. He
so'a Medley wrote that he did not
want to return then, that Inspector
Gen Burton was making an un-
necessary stir and that he would ex-
plain everything Satisfactorily by
letter. Rathbone said he sent a copy
of Neeleys' letter to former Postmas-
ter General Smith and that he had a
conference with the heads of the diff
ferent departments Immediately af-
ter the frauds were reported.
Havana, Jan. 15.-When the trial
of the charges growing out of the
Cuban p%ostoffice frauds was resumed
here today. Estes G. Rathbone, ex-di-
rector of posts of Cuba, was examin-
ed on the matter of having paid for
furnishing his official residence in
Ell Cerro, Havana, from the postal
accounts.
Rathbone said that he believed
that such bills should be charged;
that all vouchers for furnishing this
official residence were endorsed and
that all the furnishings were &C.
counted for and afterwards returned
to the government. He said the sal
airy of his coachman was paid from
the postal funds and when ex-Post-
master General Smith came to Havana
he rode in R%athbone's carriage, and
that at Smiths suggestion he (Rath-
bone) bought a uniform for his coach
maj from the postal funds. The gov
eminent has disallowed these &C
counts. charging them against Rath-
bone.

House,.

Washington, Jan. 14.-rhe mouse
continued the debate on pension ap-
preparation bill today and devoted
much time to the proposition advo-
Gated by Mr.. Rixey of Virginia, yes
terday, to open the doors of the
soldiers homes to ex-confederate vet
Grams. Two notable speeches we're
made in support of the proposition,
n by Mr.. Gardner, a Michigan re-
publican, and the other by Mr.. Dear
mond, a Missouri democrat. Mr.. Dear
mond's eloquence arounsed both sides
of the house.
The republicans. with the exception
of Mr.. Gardner took no part in the
discussion of the Rixey suggestion,
which met with much opposition on
the democratic side on the ground
that it was utterly impracticable. Mr..
Lamb of Virginia read a number of
kilograms from prominent ex-confed-
crates of Richmond protesting against
it.
Washington, Jan. 15-The house
today passed the pension a%ppropria-
ton bill which has been under dis
cussion for three days and then ad-
journed until Saturday.

ial committee on the Mckinley me-
mortal exercises, providing for an ad-

OCCUPIES THE ATTENTION or
CONGRESS.
Ex- CoNFEDERATEs OBJECT
To Propositions to Open Doors of Ma
tionaI Soldiers Home to Wear
ers Of the Grey.

Washington, Jan. 14:-For the first
time this session the Philippine ques-
tion was touched on in the senate.
The interest taken indicates that the
subject will occupy the attention of
the upper branch of congress for some
time when the tariff bill is reported.
The Philippines were the subject
of an address by MI. Hoar of Massa-
chusetts, who spoke on his resolution
introduced yesterday providing for
the appointment of a senate commit
tee to investigate the administration
of those islands. Mr.. Hoar spoke at
some length regarding the unreliable
ity of statements which have been
made from time to time regarding the
situation in the Philippians and the
causes which led to the outbreak. He
urged that there should be a place
where any senator in his official ca
pacity could go and ask for witnesses
to prove the correctness or incorrect
hess of any question upon which light
is desired.
Mr.. Lodge, MI. Hoar's colleague.
said he regarded the resolution as a
reflection on the Philippines commit
tee of which he was chairman, and
the necessity for the latter would
cease were this resolution to be adopt
ed. His committee, he said, was per-
fectly able to handle any investiga-
ton which might be conducted.
The discussion was leading rapidly
to an opening up of the whole Philip
pine question when it was agreed that
the resolution should go over until
tomorrow.
MI. Mason Of Illinois made a speech
in favor of reciprocity with Cuba and
discussed the protective policy gen.
orally.
Washington, Jan. 15.-A spirited
discussion was precipitated in the SEN
ate today by some remarks submitted
by Mr.. Hale Of Maine, in respect to
bills relating to the formation of a
naval reserve, which he introduced.
He took strong ground against the
organization of a naval reserve, his
comments being construed by some of
the senators into a reflection upon
volunteer soldiers and land militia.
Half a dozen senators were on their
feet in an instant to defend the vol
unteers and the national guard of
the various safes and the debate took
so wide a range that senators went
back in their references to the days
of the revolutionary war to seek H.
lustrations for the arguments. While
no action was possible at this time
it is likely that the discussion upon
the measures, should they be reported
from the committee will be very live
ly. No business Of special Importance
was transacted, the time of the senate
being consumed by matters of routine.

Mayor Studley told the committee
that the matter of granting permits
for Sunday entertainments was in the

the impression that the chief of police
granted licenses only in the case of
benefit entertainments.
The report was accepted by the fed

were properly enforced. He could not
