AGAINST THE BOND ISSUE.

Feeling In the Finance Committee on
the War Revenae Bin.
Inc Senate committee on finance as a
oody was not in session today, having adj
)ourned over until tomorrow in order to
permit the democratic members to prepare
a substitute for the bond provision of the
BILL There is now no doubt that there will be
a majority in committee against the bond
feature, as Senator Jones of Nevada has
taken position against it, The republican
members of the committee, with the excep-
ton of Senator Wolcott, were In conference
over the situation for several hours.
There is little doubt, from Mr. Wolcott's
expressions in the committee yesterday.
and the fact that he did not sit with the
republican members today, that he will
vote to eliminate the bond provision but it
Is understood that he is not quite so clear
as TO the support of a substitute. The re-
publican members are quite disturbed over
the discovery of his position, and are con-
sidering how to best repair the breach oc-
casioned by his probable detection They
We're not SO greatly surprised at Mr. Jones'
position, although they had hoped to he
able to secure his support of the measure
practically as it passed the House.
The democrats have contended that the
with, while the republicans held that a
bond issue was necessary to carry on the
var. The democrats informally suggested
various means of securing money, which
they argued would be more acceptable
Than bonds, but did not offer any formal
substitute. The republicans did not mani
test disposition to accept a substitute
Of any character, but indicated a purpose
OF holding out for the bonds substantially
as provided by the House. The democrats
will formally suggest some substitute prop
osition within day or two. The repub-
fcans do not concede this; say that If the
bend provision is stricken out in commit
tee 1t Will be restored in the Senate, and
they appeal to the democrats to allow the
bill to be reported without its elimination
on the ground that 1t affords the only
feasible means of raising immediate funds
for the prosecution of the war. The mem
pers OF the committee do not expect to
conclude their work before the end of the
week.

tfat the minister would be much gratified

lNSURGENT PARTY LANDED
A Number of Officers Under Colonel Nunez
Reach Cuban Lines.
Landing Effected Under the Guns Of
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Suf-
ferinE for Food.

Special From Staff Correspondent.
KEY WEST, Fla, May 5.-Little trouble
is now experienced in landing arms In
small quantities for the insurgents, though
it has to be done under the protection OF
gunboats. Yesterday the tug Leyden, which
is one of the auxiliary fleet, landed midway
between Havana and Mariel half a dozen
Cuban officers headed by Col. Nunez, with
equipment for one hundred insurgents.
Captain Dorst of General Miles staff was
aboard. Sunday night guides were put
ashore, who were to arrange rendezvous
for the insurgents. Yesterday when the
tug appeared a band of forty insurgents
were waiting which showed that they are
able to keep in communication with the
vessels.
A large troop of Spanish cavalry was
also waiting. They have complete sys-
tenn of signals from hlltops, and when
ever vessel makes in shore for landing
place troops are promptly massed at that
point. Yesterday rs the Leyden approach
ed the shore fire was opened upon her and
shots scraped some paint off,

but were not numerous enough to attack
the cavalry. The gunboat Wilmington ac-
cordingly steamed in and began to drop
shells among the Spanish troops. This
caused them to scatter The Leyden then
landed her arms on the beach and the in
surgents took them and started for the in
terror. They had a skirmish with the cav
airy. but succeeded in making their way
to the hills without apparent loss.
The insurgents reported that they were
constantly gaining recruits and could util-
ize larger quantity of arms.
Great distress exists among the people
because the food supply is In the hands of
the Spanish authorities who are holding
it for their own soldiers PEPPER,

the inference was suggested that troops
might be embarked possibly as early as to-
day, but at farthest within day or two
1t is intimated that a larger body Of troops
than at first contemplated may have to be
sent, on account Of the Gomez army not
showing as large a force as was expected.
There has apparently been a material
broadening Of all plans and the advance
ment of some that it had been intended to
put into operation later. The situation of
affairs in Spain, rather than the battle of
Manila, is apparently, hurrying matters
along.

opinion in London through circulars distrib-

IN handing dodgers of yellow paper with
large headlines reading:
Why the United States is making war
upon SPAIN
Under this heading were extracts from
the remarks recently made by Edward J.
Phelps, former United States minister to
Great Britain, and who, from legal stand
point, expressed the opinion that the
United States was not justified in going to
war with Spain. These extracts were ac-
sonpanied by quotations from alleged pro-
