A CRITICAL POSITION
The Necessity For Commodore Dewey Cap
turing a Port in the Philip
pine Islands.

Washington, April 29.--Naval circles
look to the Philippines for the first big
war news. Admiral Dewey, naval Of
ficers say, either must take a port in
the Philippines and make it a base of
supplies and a temporary home for
his ships or head his feet straight
across the Pacific for San Francisco.
1t is expected that the other European
powers holding possessions on the
Chinese coast will adopt Great Britain $
rules as to the conditions under which
the ships of bel..gerent powers may
shelter in their ports. No matter how
well inclined towards the United States,
China undoubtedly will be obliged to
join In the same practice.
Thus Admiral Dewey will ilnd that,
having secured one supply Of coal at
port belonging 10 one of these powers.

his ships, for he would not be permit

THE WAR REVENUE BILL.

Amendments That Have Been Pre-
sented by Republican Majority.
Washington, April 29-The Republic
can members of the ways and means
committee held meeting yesterday at
which so amendments to the war reve-
nue. bin were agreed to. These were
offered In the house today. Many Of
them are mere verbal amendments, but
there were some of considerable i'm
portance. One Of them exempts mu-
tual and cooperative life insurance
companies from taxation. The. tax on
insurance companies Is transferred
from the policies to the premiums. In
this the amendment conforms to the
law Of 1866. The tax on marine, inland
and fire insurance policies is extended
to cover employers liability associa-
tions, title insurance companies, glass
and all other special insurance COM
panies of which many classes have
given up in the past few years.
Railroad telegraDhic messages and
all other leased wire messages are
exempted by an amendment limiting
to tax to messages ION which the COM
panies' charges are to be paid or to be
collected" The tax on chewing gum is
reduced from one cent on a five cent
package to one-quarter of cent The
tax on beer is extended to include beer
stored" The amendment was deemed
necessary to cover beer in storage. The
license of dealers in leaf tobacco Is re-
duced from s24 to $l2 on those whose
sales do not exceed $4,000 per annum,
and from s4S to $24 on dealers whose
sales exceed that amount. The most
important amendment was one which
levies a tax Of one cent upon all pay
telephone messages costing below rs
cents. The original provision exempted
messages for distance below 80 miles.
Mr.. Tawney, Of Minnesota, estimates
that this amendment, which will cover
all city and suburban business, will
raise $5, 100000.

Brigadier General William r. Shafter,
who commands the brigade Of troops
at New Orleans, was at the war de-
partment yesterday, having been sum-
moned to Washington for conference
with General Miles, the commander of
the army. The officials of the war de-
partment decline to say for what
specific purpose General Shafter came
to Washington, but rumor connects it
with the landing of United States
troops in Cuba so that food may be
sent to the starving people in the ISL
and.
A striking sign of the immlnence of
the invasion Of Cuba was contained in
the charterirg yesterday by the war
department Of eight large steamers of
an average capacity of about 1000 tons.
and able to carry from 500 to loo pas
sengers each. These are to be used
as transports for the conveyance of the
first military expedition to Cuba.
The president and cabinet will con
slider today the large number of ap.
plications that have been made for ap-
pointment to the posts of major gen.

eX-Mlnster Stewart l.. Woodford will
be made major generals.
