VOLUNTEER BILL
Passed by the Senate and House and
Sent to the President for His Sig
nature,

Washington. April 2S.-The House
to-day displayed its enthusiasm for
the war upon which thecountry has en-
tered by rushing through without de-
bate the conference report on the bill
authorizing the President TO call out
the volunteers, and agreeing by unan-
imouS consent to meet at 10 O'CLOCK TO-
morrow morning to take up the con-
s.deration of the army reorganization
bill. The passage Of the latter bill Is
considered imperatively necessary by
the War Department. The Patterson
Cormack contested election case was
disposed of. the sitting member, MI.
Cormack, being given the seat by
vote of 136-118 Several Republicans
voted with the Democrats and many
declined to vote The Democrats were
very bitter in their denunciation of Mr..
Patterson. who belonged to the gold
wing of the party. Both the contest
ant and contestee addressed the House
in their own behalf.
During the brief open session of the
Senate to-day, the formal announce
ment of the death of Senator Walthall,
of Mississippi, was made and arrange
ments were perfected, so far as the
Senate is concerned, for the funeral
ceremonies, which are to be held in
the Senate chamber tomorrow noon.
A secret session of two hours was
held, during which the conference re-
port on the volunteer bill was agreed
to, but no business was done in open
session.
The volunteer bill was sent TO the
President forthwith

it is said they may follow shortly. The
Marblehead is taking on water and will
doubtless join the squadron in a day
or two. The Fern went to Tampa for
ammunition for the fleet and will
doubtless join the feet in day or two
at Havana, il that is the destination,
for though it is a foregone conclusion
that the fleet has moved on Cuba, it
is not certain that for the present, at
least, it is not lying well out TO sea
awaiting further orders.
LII those so far received are not final,
torpedo boats held here can quickly
carry such dispatches TO the ships.
When Key West awoke it was cry
of the wolf story. Bedtime had left
the situation not different from what
1t has been for weeks past, and rumors
OF sailing orders have been so frequent
and unfounded that it lacked credulity
this morning when the town found the
harbor bare of all but few Of its
puissant visitors
But the terrible tension Of those wait
Ing days are past, and all ears are
now strained for the thuSder OF guns,
which will tell that the real and long
waited war is on
Though the seriousness of the i'm
pending war is not belittled, the gen
eral feeling is one of intense relief.
The long suspense, which has proved
so trying, is now practically at an end,
and
THE FIGHTING SQUADRON
knows what it has to face. 1t has
been repeatedly stated in these dis
patches that the rank and file are Will
ing and anxious to fight. This is more
than ever the tone exhibited now. The
Maine has not been forgotten, and 1t
will be with eager hands and hearts
that the men of the fighting squadron
will make their way toward Cuba.
There is no reason to doubt that the
fighting squadron sailed with the sole
intention Of a blockade 1t may be
that occasion for action Of more OF
fensive character will arise, and that
an engagement with the Spanish fleet
may occur; but these possibilities are
shrouded in the fateful future
Many are the conjectures as TO the
length of the campaign and the abb
sence Of the squadron from home. The
consensus of opinion places the mini
mum period at three months and the
maximum at six. 1t should
be fully understood that nelth-
er experienced officers. raw ca
diets nor bronzed seamen doubt
for moment the ability Of our navy
to whip Spain's sailors TO a standstill.
The far-seeing admit that it may cost
many valuable American lives; but it
will be done, come what may.

SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY ROAD.
Bakersfield Celebrates the Opening
of the Line to That CITY.

BAKERSFIELD, May 27.-The for
NAL opening of the San Joaquin Valley
Railroad from Stockton to this place to-
day was signaliZed by one of the great
est popular demonstrations ever known
in this part of the State.
Immediately after the arrival of a
special excursion train from the north
this morning the celebrat ton began, and
was continued until late hour of the
night. There was a procession over a
mile in length, the most striking part
of which was the Oriental division, in
which marched over 200 richly attired
Chinese, who spent 5000 in the dis
play. They had two bands and several
floats.
In another part of the parade rode
go horsemen wearing the national cos
tune of Mexico. There was a grand
float displaying the varied products of
Kern County and many other novel
features.
From the reviewing stand at the Ar
lington Hotel speeches were delivered
by Senator S. c. Smith, who welcomed
the guests; Hon. E. F. Preston, in be-
half of the road; Mayor Snyder of Los
Angeles, Mayor Phelan of San Fran
cisco and c. c. Wright, who spoke for
the Merchants and Manufacturers

WEATHER NOTES.
Rainfall Harmful in Some Parts
and Beneficial in Others.

NAPA May 21.-Rain began falling
here at noon, and tonight the precipi-
tation continues. While it would have
been welcome a few weeks earlier, it
comes too late to be of benefit. In
fact, both farmers and orchardists
agree that the storm will do much
damage.
STOCKTON, May 27.-The rainfall
here to-day was light, but it was good
for the county, and did no harm in any
direction. With an occasional shower
and continued cool weather, considerable
grain is heading out well, and crop
prospects have been greatly improved.
The crop Will be light, but it has been
increased by favorable weather.
SAN JOSE, May 27.-There was q
slight fall of rain here this afternoon.
1t was much heavier in the western
foothills, where the best orchards are
located. The effect, though slight, will
be beneficial.
SAN LEANDRO, May 27.-The early
cherry crop in this section will be. a
total loss, on account of the rain here
last night and to-day. A falling bar
ometer indicates more rain, and the
late cherries will suffer if the fall is
heavy.

PORTO RICO FIRST.
WILL BE TAKEN BEFORE GU
BAN INVASION.
Belief This Can be Done With Reg
ulars While Volunteers Are
Being Conditioned.

NEW YORK, May 2S-A Times"
special from Washington says: Though
to-day has been devoid of definite de-
velopments of a military nature, it has
been marked by strengthening of the
conviction, now general. that Porto
Rico and not Cuba is to be the first
object of invasion by the combined land
and naval forces of the United States
The Administration is not making its
plans known, nor is the War Board TAX
ing the public into it's confidence, but
there are other ways in which COM
ing events make themselves known,
even in war times.
significant indication of the atti-
tude of the military arm of the Govern
ment toward the Porto Rican invasion
is afforded by the earnestness with
which high members of General Miles
staff urge the measure. The command
ing General of the army is not talking
for publication, but it is understood
that the members of his staff who de-
clare unreservedly in favor of taking
Porto Rico without delay reflect his
views on that subject.
The announcement that General
Miles may leave Washington in a day
army camps in the South is regarded
as confrmatory of the understanding
that there is to be no invasion of Cuba
at once. 1t has been taken for granted
that General Miles will go to Cuba with
the army. If the invasion is to be put
off and Porto Rico taken instead, his
present tour of inspection is easily ex-
planned.
The strongest argument used in favor
of the attack on Porto Rico now is that
it is the easiest thing the army can do
just at present. and, in fact, about the
only thing it can do. The decision was
reached long ago that not less than 30-
900, preferably 10000, men will be need
ed for the first army that is sent TO
Cuba. Not more than 25,000 men are
now in shape for a foreign campaign.
These are the regulars and the equipped
volunteers at Tampa The rest of the
volunteer army is unframed and un-
equipped and it may be accepted once
for all that it is not going to be sent
to Cuba until it is both equipped and
to some extent, at least, instructed in
and Injured to the practices of war.
With the 25,000 men already at Tam
pa, it is urged that Porto Rico could
be taken and subdued while the rest of
the army is being put in shape at
Chickamauga and the other camps.
Then, when all has been made ready
for the grand move on Cuba, the reg
ulars could be withdrawn from Porto
Rico and used to land the army against
Blanco The facts that, while giving
needed training to the regulars them
selves and delivering them from the
debilitating inaction at Tampa. this
move would strike a deadly blow at
Spain in a vital part of her colonial
structure, and rob the reserve Spanish
fleet of it's only base of supplies on this
side of the Atlantic, are given as rea-
sons in it's favor. which are believed to
have had the effect of determining the
powers that be to undertake it.
