Davis, was most exciting, especially
after We left Bahia, for we then knew
the possibility of interccption. Capt.
Clark, however, kept the little feet in
constant readiness, and had we run
into the Spanish fleet, we would have

happy that we will have chance to
take part with the fleets now looking
for the Spaniards. The Marietta and

Stewart, of Nevada, spoke particularly
in regard to those paragraphs of the
bill which provide for the coinage of
the silver seniorags and the issue of

amount of money produced from tax
alton under the bill would depend
largely upon the policy adopted relative

issue Of bonds. He believed that with
the issue of bonds it would require
largely more taxation to produce =

vera to Return to Cadis.
INTERESTING PROGRAM If TRUE

New YORK, May 25.-A special to
the World, from Quebec, says: Senior
Pole, before sailing from Quebec, for
Europe, confided to q friend the
original intentions of Admiral Ger
vsra's squadron. 1t appears that the
Spanish fleet, being acknowledged un-
able to meet the American vessels, was
to avoid it and cause all the damage it
could to the American coast.
Polo succeeded in making satisfac-
tory arrangements for coaling the
fleet, but the agreement was broken,
owing to the American influence with
the coal concern. This drove the
Spaniards from their original intention
Of touching at Cape Breton, and made
them take refuge at Santiago dc Cuba.
Since then the Spanish fleet has loft
on journey to Cadiz.
In the fall, the late ambassador said,
Spain will abandon Cuba, after having
made her enemy pay dearly for their
victory.
