SANTIAGO DEFENSES
Which Failed to Stop Hobson andl His
Men

WITH THE FLEET OFF SANTIAGO
DE CUBA, June 3, via Kingston, Jamaica,
June Ito appreciate the great danger of
the Merrimac expedition, the character of
the defenses of the harbor of Santiago de
broad and deep harbor on which the city
faces is by narrow channel about mile
long and each side guarded by hill stand
ing almost perpendicularly to height Of
$50 feet. At one point the neck of this
approach is less than 800 feet wide and only
five and half fathoms deep, so that to
enter ships must go in one at time.
On the hill on the eastern side of the
harbor is Moro Castle, with five A-pound-
ers, five 1S-pounders, and two modern
rapid-flre guns At the base of Moro
Castle are several guns loaded with shrap-
mel to sweep the face of the water, and
opposite is a similar battery. Going
around the first curve of the narrow en-
trance. Cayosmith, an island, is found
facing down the harbor, with a battery
of modern guns.
In the narrow neck of the passage are
three rows of mines, each row fifty feet
apart and the mines, sixteen in row,
each six feet apart. The Reina Mercedes
lies in the shadow of Cayosmith, partly
dsmantled, but having her four torpedo
tubes loaded and facing down the channel.
About half way up the channel, on the
eastern bank, is the Estrella battery, with
several small smooth-bore guns and this
was the menacing hole of death into which
Lieut.. Hobson and his men ventured with
the Merrimac.

THE SECOND CALL
Quotas of States Will Not Be Made
Public

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Adjutant Cen
eral Corbin announced tonight that he
would not make pubic the apportionmenh
of the volunteer troops among the states
under the second call of the president. The
enlistment of the 5000 men called for will
proceed, as heretofore announced, precise
lily as enlistments are made for the regular
army. The governors of states are notified
by the department how many are to be en-
listed in their states under the second call
and how the enlistments will be made; but
this information will not be given to the
public by the war department. II Is ex-
pected that the enlistment of troops will
proceed more smoothly than It would If the
quota of each state was made public at this
time. A majority of the men enlisted will
be sent at once to the permanent camps to
fill regiments that are incomplete, the men
being assigned. of course, to regiments
which belong to their localities.
Under the second call each state Is called
mon to furnish specified number of men,
1T a specified number of companies, bat
talon or regimental organizations. After
state. has filled its quota, the men unas-
signed to regiments already In the service
will be organized into new regiments, the

IN CONFERENCE
Good Progress Is Made With the War
Revenue Bill

WASHINGTON, June THE Repub-
lican members of the conference commit
tee on the war revenue bill were in caucus
for about four hours today, and 1t is stated
by members of the caucus that they practi-
ca1ly reached an agreement on the most I'M
portant items of difference between the two
houses.
They relate to the coinage CT silver bullion,
the form of the bond provision and the
amount of the bonds, the inheritance tax,
the duty on tea, etc. These questions have
not yet been raised in the full conference,
and the Republicans decline to state any
points of their agreement.
The general impression among senator's
Is that there will be some provision for
the coinage of seignorage and possibly all
the silver bullion in the treasury, but 1t Is
not believed that the terms of the senate
provision will be accepted without material
modification. The result of the Oregon
elections strengthened those opposed to
making any concessions to silver, but 1t also
had the effect of causing the western Re
publican senators to be all the more clamor-
Gus for recognition. They express conf
dence that their representations will not go
UNDECIDED, and they profess to speak upon
assurances from Republicans of the con-
ference. Two sessions of the full commit
tee were held, but in these only matters OF
minor importance were passed upon, and rs
a rule the senate amendments on these
matters were accepted Among the
changes was one in the beer tax provision,
making it definite that the stock on hand
Exempted should be the stock in the hands
of dealers and not brokers.
| The house conferees are making a de-
termined contest to relieve insurance
agents from the license of S12 year. and
they have indicated a tendency to allow the
tax on bankers brokers, theaters. ETC., to
stand If the insurance agents are not taxed.
They are also making an onslaught on Sen
ator Chlton's amendment extending the
provisions in regard to proprietary medi-
cines to other articles, but the senete's rep
resentatives indicate a disposition to yield

take steps promptly to satisfy public opin-
ion, which is clamoring for the immediate
dispatch of a relief expedition to assist
Captain General August in forcing the
Americans to leave Manila. This alone, the
paper argues, would put a stop to the
spread of agitation and disaffection among
the natives of the island of Luzon. The
nation, says Ell Liberal. has remained
patient only because 1t was believed that
the government would readily arrange such
an expedition.
FL impartial advocates a similar course,
insisting that the fate of Spanish rule in
the Philippines could In this way be easily
decided at Manila.
El Heraldo is even more energetic in it's
calls on the cabinet to act before it is too
late.
The press campaign is evidently intended
to exercise pressure upon the government

pected by Admiral Camara.

A Sta bling ARRAY

SAN FRANCISCO, June 7.-There was
stabbing affray late tonight in the Ital-
ian quarter which may result in the death
of two people. Santina Guido, residing on
Broadway, was engaged in a fierce alter
cation with his wife, when her brother, a
young man named Pellegrini. interfered.
Guido resented the intrusion of his broth
er-in-law into his domestic affairs, and
drawing a long knife, which had been
ground into the shape of dagger stabbed
Pelligrini five times, inflicting wounds
which are likely to prove fatal. Mrs.
Guido threw herself between the two men
in an attempt to prevent murder. Her
enraged husband then turned on her with
his dangerous weapon and slashed her so
severely that her life is also despaired of.
Guido was taken to the city prison. His
two victims were removed to the receiv-
ing hospital, where every effort is being
made to save their lives, though the sur
geons express little hope Of success.

THE JANE GRAY WRECK
The Bodies of Seven Men Found on the
Beach

VICTORIA, B. c., June IA special from
Alberni says that the bodies of seven white
men, supposed to have been victims of the
Jane Gray disaster, have been picked up
on the beach near the Kuyuquot Reserva-
ton by Indians, while a sack of clothing
with an Indian name on it was washed
ashore not far from Cayoquot. Coupled with
this information comes the news by the
return of the c. P. N. steamer Willapa that
considerable wreckage from the lost schoon-
er inclusive of four of the boats, has been
discovered at different points along the
coast.
The gasoline launch belonging to Maj. In
grams mountain Climbing party has also
been found by Indians. 1t fioated upright
although the sea had flooded it. There were
a number of books and papers in the boat,
but no bodies, and the natural supposition
is that the six who were seen in the boat
when it left the schooner have all been
washed overheard.
The Nootka Sound Indians picked up an
other boat, the dory belonging to the Jane
GRAY, and which was referred to by several
the survivors in their stories of the wreck.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE conference

rural free delivery. This is a compromise,
the house having appropriated 100000 and
the senate having refused to make any ap-
preparation. The agreement also includes
the senate amendment for a joint COM
mittee of the two houses to investigate tho
question of excessive charges by the rail-
road companies for mail transportation.
The senate receded from its amendment re-
ducing the appropriation for pay of letter
carriers from thirteen to twelve million dol
