WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Congrees re-

six months ago declared war against
Spain, and now with the war fought
and won, it came together for the fret
legislative consideration of questions
developed by the eventful months just
passed. The spirit of the occasion was
not, however, one of immediate expect

left to the existence of the seth congress

British Steamer Reports Seeing Two ON

New York, May 12.--The British
steamer Menantic, which arrived yes

were passed near Nantucket shoals
yesterday. Captain Mann said:

low lying craft was seen approaching
under the shadows of the Manantic'e
smoke. 1t came along rapidly and
was seen to be torpedo boat. She
flashed light on us and crossed under
our stern going to the east-northeast
and fired rocket, which was answered
to the south by dot and dash flashes.
The night was too dark to distinguish
anything or define the nationality of
the stranger. At daylight about 20
miles east of Nantucket south shoai
lightship, another torpedo boat was
seen in the line of the sun. which
dazzled the water too much to make
out her colors.
She was of the destroyer class and
very large boat with a large funnel.
Guns were mounted on the bow. She
appeared to be one of the recent Eng
llsh type of torpedo boat destroyers,
and ! am sure there is no vessel of
her class IN the American navy. The
Menantic ran close to the lightship on
Nantucket and reported the presence
of the torpedo boats.
