There is no symptom of a panic here among the defenders of public credit; but conservatives of the South, who have been depreciating any attempt at currency legislation, are saying now, "We told you so." Their fear has been all along that if the House sent over a decent c urrency bill the Senate would j strike out eve rything after the enacting c lause, and substitute the free silver bill ! or something of that nature of the Teller resolution. Then, they said, the people . ... I. .... ! siioum naveme tight ot 1M0 over again, with results which cannot be prophesied. This prediction may now be tested. The fate will really depend on the votes of the Democratic Senator like Smith and Murphy, who would naturally be opposed to a silver declaration of tlii kind, but whose political atHliations leave their positions in doubt. At best, the majority either way will hardly be more than three or four. HOUSE. Wamiinuto.n, Jan. 18. The tirst gun in the c ampaign for the recognition of Cuban belligerency in the Heuse of Rep- i rcscntalivcs was lired today in connec tion w ith the consideration of the dip lomatic and consular appropriation bill. Hitt tried to gag the discussion by the adoption of the live-minutes rule for debate-, but no agreement could stop the llood of oratory, and at the reading of the fnancting clause, a proposal by Mr. Dearuiond, of Missouri, to insert the recognition of the belligerency of Cuba, the pates were opened. Mr. Dearmoitd made an impassioned speech, demanding action to express the sentiment of the American people, and was then held up by Mr. Hitt, insisting on the Chair enforcing the rule requir ing the speaker to confine himself to the question at isue, his point of order be ing that the amendment was out of order. ' Mr. Dearmond gave notice-that i.tfieiiiWOia Chair ruled against him, he would ap peal from its decision. This alarmed the Republican man agers, w ho feared that the appeal would j be sustained. Messengers w ere sent all over the town to bring in the absent j Republicans. The aineudment was finally declared to be out of order. Frou this decision Dearuiond ap pealed. The ('hair was sustained 1:7 r- iO'.i the vote ending the sensational occedings for the day. Iti the course of debate Colson (Ken tucky said he would vote to sustain the . hair, but warned the Republicans that if the policy of repression of this question was maintained, but few of them would be found in their places in the next Con gress. (Applause.) I n les-s the ifouse was given an oppor tunity to register an expression of the will of the American people on this sub ject, so near to their hearts, Colson said, he would join in the most revolu tionary tactics to enable the members to vote their sentiments.

Hundley, of .Vmelia, and Col. John Cnssons, of Gln Allen, charged with being about to tight a duel, came np today. Chief of Police Howard testified that after reading in newspapers about the controversy between the two men, and knowing their disposition, he feared there would be trouble when he learned they were" stopping at the same hotel. These facts were supplemented by sto ries in newspapers whice he regarded as sufficient grounds to have men arrested lest they should fight a duel. No further testimony was taken, and General Hund ley and Colonel Cussons put under bond to keep the peace. The two ex-Confederate ofi3cers bowed courteously to esch other in the court room.

All of Gen. Lee's messages w ere read at today's Cabinet meeting, but brought out no important comment or action. A wild rumor was circulated this afternoon that the "Maine" had left Key West for Havana, because the tele graph cable had been cut. This was disproved by the receipt of Lee's telegram and announcement of the Navy Department that the Maine "was still at Key West. Another eauard, which came by way of Chicago, was that Minister Woodford had sought refuge with the British em bassy in Madrid from the mob. Seuor De Lome sent a note to the State Department today denying the re port that the Havana Custom House was hindering the landing of supplies for Cuban sufferers. The Department has issued a statement declaring this state ment as undoubtedly true. A New Sensation In Cuba. Havana, Jan. 18. Just as this des patch is sent out by a special courier to Key West, Havana is in tremendous excitement, caused by news of a formi dable conspiracy among volunteers to overthrow of Blanco. The conspiracy was discovered yester day morning by Chief of Police. Col. Paglieri. The plotters intended to start an armed revolt by 20,000 volunteers, now in Havana and to compel Blanco to leave the Island, as the"y did Captain General Don Domingo Duke in 180!t.

As soon as the news reached the pal ace, General Blanco summoned the Coun cil of his staff of otih ers to advise with them. They advised the Governor General to assume the energetic attitude, and punish severely the colonels of the bat talions of volunteers, if they were found to be guilty. The news spread rapidly that Senor Calderon, Lieutenant Colonel of the Fifth Battalion Volunteers, was at the head of the military conspiracy. General Blanco stctinjoned to his pal- ace last night all the colonels of the volunteers in Havaiy. All were present. A stormy scene en sued. Blanco upbraided them severely; also threatened them with severe pun ishment for the crime of treason. The Count of Diana spoke in reply, declaring himself a loyalist. The Span iards were not satisfied with his rule, but vowed, however, as he was not in the plot and swore he would be loyal. Col. Calderon, the reputed leader of the plot, resigned today.

Ferdi nand Dilfenbach, Chief Deputy Warden of the Maryland penitentiary, was this afternoon probably fatally stabbed by Levi Poindexter, a negro convict.

One of the wounds was in the chest and the other in the abdomen. The negro was over powered and is now in doujble irons.
