New York, Feb. 1.—A special to The World from Havana says: General' Marin has returned with his entire force from Son Antonio to Quivican and Snu Lipe, on tbo military lino between van a and Batabano. A rebel band cut the railroad and tel egraph wire between Buena Ventura and Havana. It is reported, although is not officially confirmed, that Go mez, with his whole force, committed the depredation. If this is trae it is orguod that he has taken alarm from General Marin’B sudden movement and has abandoned his intention of joining Moceo. General Marin, with a strong force of Spanish infantry, artillery aud cavalry, started from Havana for Pinar Del Rio >viuco, where it was known that both mez and Maceo hod been raiding. Ha camped at San Antonio, a pretty little town on the railroad, half way be tween Rincon and Guanajay. It was supposed when Goneral Marin left Havana that ho would go straight to Guanajay, but he changod bis mind, on learning that the telegraph wires were down between Guanajay and Al- quizar.

Tho detailed vote was the same as tho vote oa'TSr. Gor man’s motion to lay on the table. speech by Senator Morrill. Washington, Feb, 1.—Senate pro ceedings oponed with a speech by the venerable .senator from Vermont, Mr. Morrill, who said that tho house had promptly responded to the president’s message, and- had supplemented it with on.omorgeucy tariff revenue bill. The free silver substitute for the bond bill, he added, “may not be • the first time when bread has been asked for, that a stono has been presented, but it is the first time that a committee of the senate seems to have perpetrated a practical joke almost good enough for tho clown ofBarnum’s menagerie.” - ~ 'ThOBcnator thought that deficient na tional income should be not less swiftly remedied than on excess, saying: •The present administration, how ever, exhibits a bashful diffidence about acknowledging any .dgficieqsy of revenue derived from a tariff bereaved of its aronts In early infancy, but with their ands behind them they may quietly take 'whatever money YSShgMM 'may place in their' hands for' the treasury, where tho outflow of gold has been so swift as to make even the heads of the keepers dizzy.” Referring.to the assertion that Franco maintains silver at par with gold, he said; “Because there is no blustering silver party and no silver plated Democratic party there daily striving to pull down their money standard to that of depre ciated silver, they keep silver to the amount of $380,000,000 with $772,000,- 000 of gold on the ratio of 15)£ to 1. Tho United States has been the friend aud patron of silver to its own hurt. If our late investments of nearly $500,- 000,000 in silver have been. notoriously improvident and unprofitable the disas trous results will appear as a drop in the bucket when compared with what must flow from the enormity of tho present proposal, to open all mints to the freo coinage of. silver of all the world.” Mr. Morrill paid his respects as fol lows to tho threats to form a new silver party: “Some whispered threats have floated in tho air that tho extreme silver men, now f ratornizing here and at home with tho Republican party, would band them- sclvcs together on one dominant idea and with auxiliary Democratic aid, hitch onto the tail of a great Republican measure at tho first opportunity some tinkling silver amendments, hoping thereby to secure a silver triumph of a ’ brid combination, although the grand i Republican party might perish. But there is little feqri'of. these eruptive threats; fgr, if carried out, the riot act might be read ot home to the offenders, upon whom public opinion would not foil to place its brand, and whatever party might survive, not all of the gar- rotors of tho Republican party would be among its members.” " Mr. Morrill then dwelt on the injury that would bo done tho Bouthiitho world had a- chance to buy its cotton with cheap silver, enlarged on tho ad vantage of production, and controverted tho argument that there was a gold standard party in America. The Re publican party into uded to maintaiu lioth metals in circulation, and tho re nt elections showed the people had confidence in that party. The election,” sard Mr. Morrill, “of Republican governors in each states ai Now Jersoy, Maryland and Kentucky, indicates that tho old Whig states of tho sonth are wheeling into lino with their former brothrou on questions which concern their industrial prosper ity. Tho R< mblioan party at its earl iest opportunity will soek tho co-opera tion of loading nations in the comage of silver, and will meantime aim to maintain tho integrity of business af fairs and th« honor of tho country by the maintenance of evory dollar of money in the hands of tho people, with out depreciation at its full face value." Mr. Taller Hakes Reply. Mr. Toller (Rep., Colo.) replied briefly to certain references Mr. Morrill had made as to the cheapness of silver when it comes from the mines. He said the same could be said of gold. Tho very remarkable mines at Cripple Greek were turning out gold at 25 cents an ounce. Mr. Teller referred sarcastically to the frequent characterization of “silver barons,” and asked what had become of the “gold barons.” From this time forward the speeches wore brief under the agreement that the 5-minute rule of debato should pre vail. Under this rule, also, the various amendments wore taken up for debate. Tho first amendment, that of Mr. Butler of North Carolina, prohibited the issuance of b mds without authority of arueim tuo act granting to the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf railroad through th« Indian Territory so as to allow tho railroad to build a branch road Fort Smith. Htynrd Cemnr.-d. The houso committee on foreign af fairs was unable to agree ujk>u a resolu tion censuring Ambassador Bayard for his two speeches and odjumed until after noon, after two hours debato. The, Republican members endeavored to pre vail upon the Democrats to agree to an expression of approval, but the latter maintained their position that the mat ter was one with which the honso has nothing to do. Therefore it is probable that the Re publicans will report a more severe res olution by a party rote. They- have drafted a composite from the two forms suggested by Mr. Pearson of North Car olina and Mr. Cousins of Iowa, aud it is probable that they will agree upon it It censures Ambassador Bayard, and requests tho United States representa tives abroad from uttering reflections upon their government. At tho afternoon moetiug tho com mittee adopted by a party vote a reso lution censuring Ambassador Bayard for his two speeches at Edinburgh and Boston, England. NEWS Or THE RING.
