CONGRESSIONAL PROGRAMME
The War Revenue the Most Interesting x
Thing in the Senate-Nothing OF
Importance In the House.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Interest in the
senate this week is in the war revenue
bill, which is expected to reach that
body with the beginning of the week.
IL will be referred at once to the COM
mittee on finance and probably will
be reported back Wednesday or Thurs
day. The programme of the senate
until the revenue bill is reported is
uncertain. The post Office appropria-
tion bill probably will be reported and
passed and the omnibus claims bill
will be taken up.
There is no business of great inn
portance to come before the house
during the week, unless the appropria-
tions committee brings in an emer-
gency war measure. There are also a
number of conference reports to be
disposed of and these may occupy the
time of the house during the week.
Several appropriation bills are still in
conference, but reports are expected
during the week.

STAGGERS THE ENGLISH.
Superiority of Commodore Dewey's Squad
ron Excites Intense Admiration
Among Naval Experts.

New YORK, May 4.-A dispatch from
London says: England has been stag
gered by Commodore Dewey's over
whelming victory. The superiority of
the United States squadron was recog-
nized, but it was fully believed that it
would be more than counterbalanced
by the assistance afforded the Span
ish fleet by the submarine mines and
the powerful shore batteries. The
splendid seamanship and valor of Com
modore Dewey in forcing an entrance
to Manila harbor in the face of these
defenses excite intense admiration,
while among naval experts the dis
patch with which the American squad
ron disposed of the Spaniards is held
to prove that Commodore Dewey en-
ployed the resources at his command
with the highest possible amount OF
effectiveness.

SOME FIGURES FROM GAGE.
Treasury Chief shows the Senate Commit
tee What War VIII Cost for Two
Months-Bond Issue Advocated.

WASHINGTON, May 4. - Secretary
Gage, of the treasury, told the senate
committee on finance yesterday that it
costs money to wage war, even with
Spain. AS he figures out the expendi-
lures, it will cost for the next two
months about $50, 600, 900. BY that time
most of the available money in the treas
nry will have been spent and the gold
reserve will be threatened. Secretary
Gage said he considered authorizati on
for the issue of bonds necessary, be-
cause he believed revenues would fall
off while the war was on, and at this
time il was impossible to say how long
it would continue.

KEY WEST, Fla, May 3.-0ne of the
most important captures made since
the outbreak of hostilities was that of
the Spanish Argonauta by the gunboat

United States Has Reason to Fear an At

for Loss OF Philippines.

NEW YORK, May A dispatch to
the New York Herald from Washing
ton says: Fearing an attack on the
seaports of the north Atlantic coast
by the Spanish men-of-war now on
their way to western waters, Secreta-
ry Alger has taken steps to further inn
prove the coast defenses. There is
excellent authority for the statement
that the administration fears the
Spanish men-of-war will appear at
some port on the coast and attempt to
retaliate for the loss of the Philippine
islands by doing as much damage as
possible and, when this work has been
completed, sail with all speed to Porto
Rico and, if necessary, fight their way
into San Juan, the capital.

from Madrid that there is no idea of

circles or among the populace. On the
contrary, it is added, the war is to be
pursued with greater vigor 1t is
even stated by those who are response
BILE for the naval movements that it
has been determined to avoid isolated
combats on unequal terms and with
a superior enemy, and that they now

The Cuban authorities here expect
to receive early information direct
from the camp of Gen. Gomez, brought
by Brig. Gen. Nunez who left here
about ten days ago and succeeded in
landing party and making his way
to Gomez's camp. The party was
small one, and took along some sup.
plies, but its main purpose was TO
open communication with Gomez and
bring word as to his resources and
readiness for an aggressive movement.

Despondent View at Vienna.

LONDON, May 4.-The Brussels COR
respondent of the Daily Chronicle says:
"Don Carlos, the pretender, is much
agitated by private kilograms he has
received to-day from Madrid A Span
ish diplomatist of high position said
to me to-day: They are practically
in state of revolution, and it is the
beginning of the end of the regency.
The queen regent may make final eff
fort in favor of her son, but he will
never come to the throne" While
Manila is cut off. there is almost as
great silence respecting the exact sit
uation of affairs on the Atlantic. The
papers indulge in all kinds of specula-
tions as to the probable meeting of
the fleets on the ocean, and cannot
bring themselves to believe that Adm.
SIMPSONS entire feet has been
withdrawn from Havana, as it is
considered quite strong enough to di-
vide without running eXtravagant
risks. Interest for the moment has
shifted to Madrid, which appears to
be on the eve of a military pronuncia-
mento. Gen. Weyler is the popular
ideal. He has, however, no actual
command at present and, therefore,
cannot pronounce in his own person.
1t is probable that the censorship
hides the real gravity of the situation.
1t is extremely likely that martial law
has been proclaimed in other big
cities. Energetic measures on the
part of the government, especially II
scapegoat can be found, may stave off
popular outburst, but the scenes in
the cortes indicate a very ugly temper
on the part of the populace.
The Madrid correspondent of the
Daily Mail says: 1.-THE governors of
the various provinces have been au-
thorized to resign their powers into
the hands of the military authorities
the moment they think it convenient
without waiting to consult the gov
ernment The military authorities
will at once proclaim martial law in
such cases, taking all the powers in
their respective provinces"
OFFICERS INCITE THE MOB.
LONDON, May A special from
Madrid, via Bayonne, says: SIN the mob
Monday night were many officers in
mufti, who were foremost in melting
the people to attack the minister's
residences and were loudest in calling
for cheers for Weyler. There is no
doubt these men desire to provoke the
government into firing upon the mob,
and SO to pave the way for its down
fall. The republicans were even more
busy than the officers in urging on the
crowd and shouting down with the
queen regent More than once they
led the mob toward the royal palace,
but each time the police drove them
back"

NICARAGUA CANAL.
Morgan Hopes to Secure Action on the
Measure In the Senate
Today.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l2.-Senator Nor.
gan expressed the hope that he will SO.
cure action at today's session on the
Nicaragua canal bill. Few of his most
sanguine co-workers agree with him in
this opinion, aud the best indication is
that unless an agreement can be reached
for postponement several days at least
will be consumed in its consideration
The opponents of the measure will likely
meet its supporters with a proposition
to defer consideration until after the
Christmas holidays, and they will prob.
ably give as their reason for this request
the fact that the report of the govern
ment commission appointed to investi-
gate the feasibility of the canal has not
yet been made, urging the Importance
of receiving the information which the
commission will be able to furnish be-
fore acting upon so important ques-
ton. lf'The bill is taken up in earnest
IL viii consume the greater portion OF
the senate's time until finally disposed
of.
The urgent army deficiency bill will
probably re ;eive attention early in the
week. The committee on appropria-
tions will mett today and 1t is not
believed that more than one meeting on
the bill will be necessary.
Senator Allison, chairman of the
committee, hopes. therefore, to got the
bill before the senate for conslderation
tomorrow.
1t has been prophesied chat the ARM
bill would be used az pretext for di
cussion OF the spanish war, and the fe
of such course has not entirely su
sided.
