Major Charles Mcclure, assisted by Ma

of clerks chosen from among the troops.
Both officers and men will be paid In

IN THE HOUSE.
War Revenue Measure to he Sent Z
Conferences At Once.

War Revenue Measure to Ne Sent to
Conference at Once.
Washington, Tune 5.-The war measure
as It passed the senate will be presented
to the house when II meets tomorrow.
The desire OF Chairman Dingley and the
majority of the members of the ways and
means committee is to send the bill to
conference at once and not delay 1t by
debate In accordance with this desire the
committee on rules will probably adopt
a committee rule Identical with or gen.
orally in line with the resolution which
Mr.. Dingley introduced last week to pro-
vide for a motion to disagree to the sem
ate amendments and agree to q confer
ence. This motion will prevail without
debate and conferees will be named.
At present there is an understanding
that the Hawaiian resolutions providing
for annexation are to be considered IN
the house before session adjournment.
Just when and how the consideration shall
proceed has not been determined. A large
element wants II to come Immediately az
ter the revenue bill is sent to conference
and are anxious to have the matter dis
posed of pending the report Of the revenue
bill. Another element, said annexation
should wait until the revenue bill has
passed 50 as to avoid all possibility Of
c~omplicatine the situation.
Appropriation bills will occupy much
attention. The conferees on the sundry
civil bill have reached an agreement upon
about four-hfths Of the measure. but can
not agree upon the remainder without
taking the sentiment OF their respective
houses. and IL In probable that a report
setting forth their Agreements and diner
ences will be made this week.
Progress upon the Indian. postohice and
District OF Coiumbis bills has been made
and they may be expected at any time
from conference.
The general deficiency bill. which has
not been reported to the house. will be
held back until the end of the session Is
In sight. The report to accompany the
general banking and currency bill II ex-
pected TO be submitted to the
Wednesday and the bill will be sent to
the house later in the week.
A measure OF Importance that Is likely
to come up during the week In the quar-
antine bill. proposing to amend the quar-
antine laws and give the federal author
tiles enlarged Jurisdiction Of ouarantines
against infectious and epidemic diseases.
IL proposes to make supreme federal rules
and regulations.

According to the latest advices from

II is believed there that the three miss

A dispatch from a government

has greatly increased since the bonn
bardment began and the military COM
mander has been forced to reduce the
rations of the soldiers. among whom
there Is much discontent."

PRAISE FOR HOBSON.
Esglish Nswspapers Comment on tn
sinking Of the Merrimac.

Eaglish Newspapers On the
sinking Of the M~rrimac.
London. June Sail the papers refer
in terms Of the highest praise to Hob
sons daring exploit at Santiago. but
some doubts are thrown upon the
statement that the Merrimac has COM
pletely blocked the channel. as the
American reports assert.
The Times says: 1T Is most prob
able that Admiral Cervera has q de-
liberate intention to stay in Santiago.
1t seems clear that his squadron was
not prepared for war or fit for sea when
II left the Cape Verde islands, and
there is good reason to doubt whether
the Cristobal Colon ever shipped her
big guns at all.
"Hobson's exploit is one of which the
American navy may well be proud. but
from dreams of such victories there Is
an unpleasant awakening.
Admiral Cervera's period of evasion
Is ended. Santiago now invites capture
by military action n Admiral Ger
vera's ships, unless scuttled, cannot
avoid capture. The destruction and fall
Of Santiago Is now only a question OF
time, with the disappearance of all the
hopes founded upon the Spanish fleet.
SPANS s~ympathizers recognize that
her case Is hopeless and America will not
distress herself much about such warn
ings as that Of the St. Petersburg No
vosti yesterday until the combination
assumes more tangible form than there
is any prospect of at present.
Peace is at SPANS disposal
she seeks 1t frankly and sincerely, but
her game is clearly lost, and 1t is quite
out Of the question to define as honor
able peace one restoring the status
quo"
The Daily Chronicle remarks: Added
TO the other dangers was the danger OF
sharks. The incident gives fresh luster
to the renown of the American navy"
The Daily News says: "All English sal
lors will join with the Americans in ad-
miration of this exploit under the point
blank fire of the Spanish batteries. III The
United States can count on Self-sacrifice
of that kind in great emergencies, the
Santiago forts will be powerless to pre-
vent Admiral Sampson reaching the Span
ish squadron should that measure seem
good to him."
The article proceeds TO argue that il IL
premature, however. to suppose ina: the
channel is absolutely closed or that 1t
would be impossible to destroy the Eu'k.
1t says: I'm any case the feat does not
end the war. If the channel is blocked ii
is equally so to the ingress of An,erIc3n
vessels. and Admiral Cervera's suu,uron
can materially assist In the defense
against a land attack. 1t Is therefore
probable that the American troops are
not intended for Cuba but for Porto
Rico. the seizure of which would be an
effective check upon Spain's naval enter
prise, as cutting off her last naval base

far as car be gathered, In spite of all
reports to the contrary. these troops
have not yet started, and the naval
ofnciale are impatiently waiting for

small advance detachment has gone
forward, but II is felt here hat even
that, composed OF an engineer bat
talon with siege train. is lying on Key
West.
There IL much dissatisfaction ex-
pressed At the slowness of the move

to the slender ean Of transportation
and the difhculty encountered in get

expected that Sampson Is to furnish a
SUFFICIENT force TO convoy the troop

or whether he will call upon Commo-
dore Watson on Havana to perform
his work.
