which was revictualed six times In

Turks to revictual Nicsics, which was

sOsman Pasha, the hero OF Nicsics, as

SORRY FOR SOLDIERS.
The High Temperature Worried the
War Department..

In the sweltering heat that made

The mercury registered 101 degrees in

pretty clearly indicated by a dispatch
received shortly after the beginning of
office hours from signal officer az Sa-

midnight he had placed the casualties

FIVE MILLION STAMPS.
New York Is Paying a Large share
OF the War Tax.

New York. July 2-Ffye million war
tax stamps were received from Washing
ton today for the downtown district.
Fourteen hundred thousand proprietary
stamps-l-S. il. 3-S, SIS. 1-cent and 4-eent
Seventeen hundred and forty thousand
documentary stamps were received in the
morning and later I'm the day came 2.345.
400 more. In the first invoiee were 1s0a, :
900 2-cent stamps. 900 fives and 10000
each of tens and twenty-fives The num-
ber of dollar stamps was s4,eoO; of ten
dollar stamps, l0e. 400.
More stamps of the big denominations
are greatly needed in Wall Street. at the
custom house and in the offices of the
steamship ticker brokers. Collector Treat
called up the international revenue bu-
reau at Washington on the telephone this
afternoon and told the head Of the stamp
department what New York needed.
I'VE want all the dollar stamps you can
send u.s." said the collector. Hundreds
of business men are waiting in my office
for these stamps-bankers, customs
brokers, steamship agents-and they are
madder than March hares You don't
know how the lack of these stamps blocks
business"
How many dollar stamps do you
need?" asked the Washington man.
''All you've got a million or more
Perhaps / can scrape up 5000
''All right. send them along. And we
must have few hundred thousand So
stamps. as many S stamps. all the So
cent stamps you can send and a whole lot
of tens and twenty-fves.'
That's a pretty good-sized order. but
We will send all we can. We sent you 81
600. coo last night"
Just what we wanted. Send 5000, 900
more today"
Meanwhile taxpayers who cannot get
stamps are allowed to continue business

a record of all unstamped documents and
must make sworn returns 10 the collect

stamps sold IN the downtown New York

Vicious Obstruction.

The anti-annexation senators are not
making pleasant spectacle of them
selves in declaring that they have the
ability and desire to prolong the Ha-
waiian discussion for three weeks to
come. In making such a declara ton
they at once affront the American peo-
pie who demand the thing which they
oppose, and they are guilty of senseless
discourtesy to their colleagues who are
being, kept in their seats during the
hottest period of The year TO no use
full end. The Tories smugIy assert
that they are only doing this in
furtherance of orderly and deliberate
debate. but they their victims. and the
public know perfectly well that their
attitude is one Of purely vicious spite,
unworthy Of their national position.
however appropriate il may be to their
unpatriotic and un-American senti-
ments.
These obnoxious obstructionists are
as we'll aware as anyone else can be
that they are thoroughly whipped. They
do not entertain the remotest hope of
being able TO defeat consideration or
the accomplishment of Hawaiian an
nexation during the present session of
Congress. Yet they do not display
even the tardy common sense of their
outside support, the Sugar lobby. and
quit. We cannot refer this pig-headed
conduct to any cause, except it be
that vanity wiIl not allow the senators
who have. until recently. kept that To-
~ interest full of hope and bursting
with practical generosity, to retreat
until the last moment, in view of the
threats and promises they made months
ago, that no favorable Hawaiian Ieeis-
lation should be had during this ses-
sion
We venture to remind the disan-
pointed ones that the matter cannot be
mended by obstinate churlishness. If
there are vet opponents of annexation
who are shortsighted enough to desire
reports in the Congressional Record
of which they are certain to be alb
jectly ashamed in the future. it is quite
feasible for them to obtain leave to
print. That would do just as well
as to read the briefs prepared by the
Sugar attorneys. in the usual way,
since nobody listens TO them but the
unfortunate who happens to be in
the chair and is nailed to it for his
sins.
In short a sudden stop should be put
10 this filibuster. and the persons re-
sponsibleforit carefully remembered for
parliamentary retribution in after days.
If their movement had the remotest
chance of success, that would be an
other thing. As it has not. they are
simply acting the dog in the manger
and ought to be suppressed without
mercy.

A WEARIsoME FILIBUsTER.
The Sennfc Refuses to Adjourn over
the Fourth OF July

temperature of 81 degrees in the Sem
ate chamber yesterday was not eondu-
Give to amiability OF disposition, and the
much hoped for vote or agreement TO
vote was not reached.
Mr.. Pettigrew occupied the floor from
1l:15 to o'clock. He first went over his
former speech. and after he had exhaust
ed that, he began the reading of a book
on finance. written by Senator Stewart
The usual number OF roll calls were in
dulged in. At 4 O'Clock Mr.. Pettigre3,
having tired himself out. yielded the floor
to AIr, White.
Mr.. Davis tried to get an understanding
at this point on time when a vote
might be taken. Mr.. White replied that
he did not feel justified In taking that
question upon himself and he was un-
willing to name day. and he would like
20 have the Senate adjourn over until
Tuesday.
Mr.. Davis: II am unwilling to suggest
that there should be an adjournment over
Monday
Mr.. Money here made an appeal to
Mr.. Davis to allow TIL. Senate to adjourn
over until Tuesday. He said there were
a great many employees who desired to
Keep the hoilday, Doth at the Capitol and
at the Government Printing Office and
more than that, he said it was only Just
to the senators that they should observe
the Fourth of July. Mr.. Money said he
was not doing this as a filibustering
movement, for he intended to vote for the
annexation resolutions.
Mr.. Davis said the question was one
that could be settled by vote Continu-
ing. he said: .'In my opinion. it is very
clear that we ought to sit on Monday IL
for no other purpose but to hear the
reading of the pamphlet. which the sena-
tor from South Dakota (Mr. Pettigrew)
promises to read as a portion of his re-
marks on the annexation of Hawaii
can conceive of no better time for this
Senate to be on duty, and / am perfect
ly aware of the Inconvenience which we
all feel. But I cannot but be mindful
of the fact that at this very time and on
the Fourth of July. at Santiago and Ma
Mia the soldiers and sailors of the Unit
ed States are performing their duties as
soldiers in actual warfare and bloody
combat and are not arguing any question
as to whether the fight shall be pGstpon-
ed on account of the Fourth. / shall
move at the proper time for a regular
adjournment
This ended the Hawaiian question for
the day, as other matters occupied the
attention of the Senate until after 5
O'Clock, when 1t adjourned to meet at Il
O'Clock on Monday ~

Both, on beginning hostilities, were well

gested by the professional experience of
the past. but neither of them encoun-
tered trained opposition enough to de-
velop the technical value of whatever

equipment, and organization might be
supposed to prove or suggest.
il has, therefore, remained for the
veteran American generals, Shafter and
Wheeler. to present to the world the
first solution Of the problem of modern
attack upon position manned by regu-
lar troops. fully fortified and in
trenched, provided with ample artillery
and machine guns. occupying ground
intrinsically difficult of attack, and
supported by bodies of infantry armed
with long-range magazine rifles. rep
resenting one of the most effective
types of that weapon.
What such considerations might in
volve in the way oftactical adjustment
experts have not undertaken to say in
the past Like the question of the rela-
tive value of battleships as compared
with cruisers or torpedo boats in war,
| the problem has been left for practical
experience To solve and the first exam

We have too few details to venture
upon technical discussion, and tentative
| conclusions from a relatively small bat

| We can see one resalt, however,
/ and that is that as against an
| opposing force like the Spanish
regulars, although we must concede
that they fight stubbornly and with
effect behind breastworks, it is possible
for an attacking column of the kind OF
/ troops we have at the front to over
come the advantage held by the enemy
] supposng we are willing to suffer the
necessary loss. This we should estimate
at not less than one man hit out of ten,
! and even that may be too conservative
What might happen if our soldiers
1 were pitted against thoroughly trained
| German, French, or Russian regiments
| may be quite another thing. We have
| conceded the resisting and destructive
| power of the Spaniards fighting behind
defenses But they do not stand well
| against equal numbers of efficient
! troops in the open. The suspicion is
| therefore not to be escaped that, il
| such positions as Ell Caney and Aqua
| dores had been held by the veterans OF
any one of the three great European
| military powers, they would have beer
| impregnabIe to infantry attack. and
would have been reduced, if at all. by
a preponderance of artillery force or
the side Of the aggressive party.
