SAN DIEGO, April 26. = The United
States cruiser Boston arrived here to-day.
While in Mexican waters some time ago
the Boston received orders from the Navy
Department to search the Revilla Giodo
Islands for shipwrecked sailors, sup
posed to have been lost somewhere in
that group. The islands are off MaZat-
land, on the coast of Mexico. 1t was near
them that last September the brig Tahiti
was found floating bottom-side up, and it
was supposed that some of the sailors
might have made a landing upon the
islands. The Tahiti was said to have
been genuine pirate and SLAYER, and
was loaded down with natives from the
South Sea Islands, who were being taken
to the west coast of Mexico to work on
sugar and coffee plantations. The crew
and slaves were all lost. The Boston
made thorough search of these islands,
but found no trace of any living human
beings. The Boston Will remain here

his remarks on Morgan's resolution on
that subject.

Cocl<rell called for separate vote on
the amendment striking out the provision
that no money be paid for transportation
of troops and army supplies over any
non-bonded lines of the Union Pacific or
Southern Pacific. a long debate ensued
but no action was taken.
The presiding officer (Manderson) laid
before the Senate Il communication from
the President, in response to Teller's res
Olution as to an international conference
on the silver question. The communica-
ton having been read, Teller remarked
that the President said in it that he would

free silver complained of, Teller said, was
that the United States Government had
been waiting for an opportunity to
come, whereas it was it's duty to make
the opportunity"

communication before it went to the

as to whether or not Commissioner Raum
had not furnished Special Examiner
Greenwalt with SIS to be used for the
purpose of entrapping an attorney of

information in regard to pension cases.
The Commissioners said he had not given
Greenwalt the money. Enloe insisted
that on previous hearing Raum had ad-

replied that he had not. Enloe repeated
the query several times, until finally

expressed regret at the scene, but Enloe
