WILL ALLISON GIVE UP?
STRONG PUBLIC SENTIMENT is

Probable That the Proposed Increase
Tax on Tobacco Will be With
drawn in the Senate,

Washington, June 10.-(SpeciaD- THE
men making the fight against the Senate
increase in the Internal revenue tax on
tobacco are feeling good tonight. 1t was
reported to-day that Senator Allison had
satisfied himself that the amendment
would be beaten if put to a vote even
though Senators Pritchard, Deboe and
Wellington should not vote for it as they
would doif so decreed by the caucus. Pub
lie sentiment against the increase of
cents per pound ON tobacco is having it's
effect. 1t is believed now that rather
than suffer defeat Senator Allison, when
the tobacco schedule is reached will with
draw the finance committees amendment
and accept the house vote-6 cents per
pound. However, it will not do for the
opponents of the tax to rest ON their
oars. They must continue the fight until
the end.

THE CHARGES WE'RE TRIVIAL
And Do Not Affect Marshal Carroll's
Tenure of Office.

The charges against Marshal Carroll,
it lis learned from disinterested parties,
ere so trivial as to amount to nothing.
A dispatch from Washington says: III
G. Dockery, of North Carolina, who will
succeed United States Marshal Carroll,
left for home today, satisfied that Mar
shal Carroll will not be disturbed until
his tenure of office expires"
1t is further learned that no specific
charges have been made against Mar
shall Carroll personally; in fact, it was
merely two or three irregularities by GER
tain deputies and clerks in making en-
tries and executing papers, none of which
amounted to anything. Yet it was neces-
sary that a proper report should be made
on them, the attention of the department
having been called to them by the exam
iner several months ago.
These explanations having been prop
erly made and in proper form, the matter
is now at rest.
There have been no charges of any
character whatever against Marshal Car
roll personally or his administration of
the office. He will be allowed to serve out
his term of four years.

IS SHE BOUND FOR CUBA?


Boston, Mass, June 10.-The United
States cruiser New York, the flagship of
the North Atlantic squadron, with Rear
Admiral Montgomery Sicard on board
steamed out Of the harbOr at O'Clock
this afternoon, not a soul on board know
ing TO what port she is bound, for il
will cnly be when the big white cruiser
is well outside of Boston light, with hen
pilot over the side, that the sealed orders
from Washington will be opened and her
destination ascertained. 1t is generally
believed, however, that when She reaches
Cape Cod she will turn her nose to the
southwark and that her twin screws will
not stop until she is somewhere in the
immediate neighbOrhood of Cuba; foI
when she started she was fully provision
ed and coaled, and could. if necessary,
go TO Gibraltar or Rio Janiero. without
laying in more supplies. The New York
arrived here on May 26th TO participate
in the ceremonies attending the un-
yelling of the Shaw monument The bat
tleship Massachusetts came with the
flagship, while the battleship Texas had
arrived some days previously. The
Texas left a few days ago, but the 9th
er two ships have been swinging at their
moorngs off the navy yard until today.
The Navy Department officials were
siHgularly reserved about the movements
Of the New York and showed "A reluct-
ance to answer any questions. Secretary
Long, in answer to direct interrogation,
replied; The New York is not going to
Cuba; she will next be heard from at
some point on the Atlantic coast, well
north of Cuba"
The Secretary refused to answer fur
ther, standing on the short reply above
given. The chief of the navigation bu-
reau. who is usually always ready to tell
where a ship is bound, refused to say
one word as to the destination of the
New York. 1t was learned, however, that
the cruiser is expected to report next MT
Hampton Roads, Va. and that she will
I've ut sea about two days. 1t is surmised
that the Navy Department, which has
been charged of late with the whole duty
of looking after filibusters afloat, has
been advised of the intention of some
formidable expedition bound for Cuba,
to put out of some northern port, pos
sibly out of Delaware bay, or perhaps
there is to be repetition of the Horsa
expedition, and some steamer is to take
on arms for the Cubans off one of the
now deserted sand beaches of Jersey or
Delaware. In such case the department
wOul1 send out smaller cruiser usually,
but it is said that at this time it was a
case of the choice of the vessel able to
get under way first
