Many a domestic ''tfff' has had it's
beginning in nothing more important
than the abnormal strength of the but
ter or the unparalleled weakness Of
the coffee. A man has no right to lose
his temper about such trifes, but
sometimes he does, and the wife gets
undeserVed blame. She had implicit
confidence in her grocer. He was not
conscientious. We are Ask any one

Men Fail to Pass Examination Captain
Beach's Battery.

Camp Haven, State Military Rendezvous
Mantle. May 9.-To-day has been a red
letter day for the boys rendezvouzed here
and for the first time since assembling the
SUM shone brightly throughout the entire
day. 1t was welcome change and the
transition in the mems feelings was as
marked as the change in nature. Despite
the trying conditions the camp shows Il
comparatively clean bill of kealt1 and the
three or four patients at the hospital are
confined with only trifiing ailments
One hundred and twenty four persons
were examined to-day and 107 passed the
physical tests. The examination of Co. j
was concluded at 3 p. m. and only six of
the men failed; and Co. G, South Manches-
ter, were next taken in hand, and though
the entire company had not been exrmned
at p. III. seventeen men had been reject

YORK OF CONGRESS.
The Promotion of Dewey and Voting of
Medals for Men.

Washington, May 9.-Fitting tribute
was paid by the senate to-day to
Rear Admiral Dewey for the magnifi-
cent victory he achieved in the battle
of Manila bay. A message from the
president was received recommending
that a vote of thanks be extended by
congress to Rear Admiral Dewey and
the gallant officers and men of his COM
mand. Without a word of debate and
without a dissenting voice the senate
agreed to the resolution carrying into
effect the recommendation Of the presi-
dent.
A bill was presented increasing the
number of rear admirals in the navy
from six to seven, in order that the
president might nominate Admiral
Dewey to the highest position in the
navy within his gift, and that, too, was
passed without dissent. In addition, a
joint resolution was unanimously
agreed to directing the secretary of
the navy to present to Rear Admiral
Dewey a sword of honor and to have
struck, in commemoration of the bat
tie of Manila, a bronze medal for each
of the officers and men who participat-
ed in the fight. The resolution appro-
PIRATES $4,000 to enable the secretary
to carry its provisions into effect.
The bill offered last Friday authoriz-
ing the postmaster general to establish
postoffices at military posts and camps
in order to facilitate the delivery of
mail to soldiers WAS ren0rted faUora h1v
by the postoffice and postroads commit
tee and unanimously passed. Subse-
quently an amendment to the postoffice
appropriation bill was agreed to appro-
priating $50,000 to carry the bill into eff
feet. The postofice appropriation bill
was under discussion during almost the
entire session. At a late hour 1t be-
came evident that the bill could not be
disposed of to-day and an adjournment
was had.

In the House.

Washington, May 9.-The greater
part of to-day in the house was con-
sumed by war measures. The recon-
mendation of the house committee that
a vote of thanks be rendered Rear Ad-
miral Dewey was followed quickly by a
unanimous vote and with equal concert
the house passed the bill creating an
additional rear admiralship for the hero
of Manila. The bill providing for the
organization of the volunteer engineer
brigade and enlistment of 10000 volun-
teer troops immune to tropical diseases
was passed after two hours debate.
The principal ground Of opposition pre-
sented was found in the features Civ
ing to the president the appointment of
all officers. The senate bill authorizing
the army to distribute food among the
suffering Cubans and to arm the Cuban
people was passed.

ceeding. On principle / am opposed to
war, which is always disastrous even
to the victorious nation. God is my
witness that did not wish a rupture
with the United States. I realized per-
fectly that we were exhausted by the
war which we have been waging so
long, and needed rest. On the con-
trary, 1 desired a peaceful solution,
which would have protected our inter-
ests and honor. our rights and sover-
eighty. The government did every
thing to avoid a conflict, more than it
should have done. Then our adversa-
ries began to treat us with contempt,
war became inevitable and we are COM
PEELED to accept it with all it's conse-
quences, whatever they may be.
1.-THE situation is very serious and un-
fortunately cannot be concealed. Spain
is desolated and ruined by internal
troubles. The United States have COW
eted Cuba for long time-first, be-
cause 1t is an excellent strategic point;
second SO as to be masters of the inter-
oceanic trade. To attain their object
they have literally hesitated at moth
ing. They knew the state of our
finances and took advantage of it to
attack us, after having assisted the Gu
ban insurrection with a view of COM
pleting our ruin and with a cut and
dried plan declaring war as soon as
they considered our exhaustion suffi-
GENTLY advanced. Now that the strug-
gle has begun, the Americans continue
the same tactics. Instead Of openly
making war they encourage in every
way the troubles in Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines, and if they could
they would stir up an insurrection in
the peninsula. The future is in the
hands of God. None can foresee it,

FOR THE INSURGENTS,
Government Sends Vessel Laden With
Arms, Ammunition and Supplies.

Arms, mmuntt1On ana supplies.
Tampa, Fla, May 9.-The steamer
Gussie of the Miller line, chartered by
the government for use as transport,
will sail for Cuba before morning load
ed with arms, ammunition and supplies
furnished by the United States govern
ment for the use of the Cuban insur-
gents. A company of 100 United States
troops from the First regiment of in
fantry will accompany the expedition
and aid in guarding the landing of the
valuables and will, if necessary, pro-
ceed into the interior. The expedition
will be in charge of Captain w. HI. Do
rat, General Miles aide, who has just
returned from Cuba. The Gussie has
on board between 5000 and 1000 Gussie
rifles, about 900 rounds of ammuni-
tion and several hundred boxes of pro-
visions, consisting principally of can
ned meats and hard tack. The utmost
secrecy is maintained regarding the
point of landing, but in view of Cap
tain Dorat's recent landing near Ha-
vana where he communicated with the
insurgent leader, Delgoa, it is believed
that the expedition will be headed for
a point not far from Havana

London, May 10.-The Daily Chronicle
says: 1.-THE full. truth about the success
of America in the Philippines has pro-
duced curious effect in the house of
commons. 1t is as if a new world por-
tent had appeared, new force upset
ting all previous calculations as to the

a new naval power whose friendship

assistance, and it is anticipated that
additional vessels will be sent there on
Wednesday. The British consul is
working in thorough harmony with the
American commander; but it Is felt
that the overwhelming British CONNER
cial interests require supervision by a
force sufficient to keep the Spaniards
and natives in check.
There is a desire here to advocate a
British acquisition of the Philippines,
thus completing the chain of British
possessions from the Straits Settle
ments by Borneo to the colony. 1t is
felt here that the occupation of the
Philippines by any other great Euro
pean power would be most dangerous
to British interests. Business at Manila
is at a complete standstill, but the
Spaniards are not likely to surrender
until the city is blown to pieces. The
British inhabitants, however, are conf
dent that the trouble will soon be
over"

WAR RETENUE BILL,

$50 Year.

$50 Year.
Washington, May 9.-When the SEN
ate finance committee adjourned to-
night the consideration OF the repub-
lican amendments to the war revenue
bill had been almost entirely completed,
although there were some puzzling
problems still unsolved, one Of which
was the manner of dealing with pro-
prietary medicinal articles. There will
probably be a uniform tax on all these.
The committee has decided to place
a license upon banks at the rate of $100
year and upon brokers at the rate
of $50, but has not yet determined
whether the professions shall be IL
censed or not. On life insurance COM
panies the tax has been Increased five
fold. 1t is estimated that this tax will
bring 100000 in revenue. A tax on
bills of lading was also adopted, as
were the provisions for taxing all deal
ings in futures, including bucket shop
operations. The bill as it will be re-
ported will contain a provision requir-
ing that memorandum of all dealings

the board Of trade and president of the
civil service commission, assigned immedi-
ately after the close of business this after
noon. The assets 'and liabilities are fixed
at 100000 and $125,000 respectively The
failure was attributed to the condition of
the wheat market and the fact that he was
suddenly called upon during the day to
provide margins for trades in barley
amounting to $4,000. Mr.. Lindblom was
unable to respond to the call. 1t is said
that arrangements may be made with the
creditors so that he can resume business,

nEpoRrs OF ENaAGEMENrs.
Three Reach Key West but Are Not
Confirmed.

Key West, Fla, May 9.-10:3o p. M
Three separate reports of enga agements
of United States warships reached here
tonight but thus far details are want
ing. One rumor is that the cruiser
Montgomery has captured two prizes
off Cape Haytien after sharp ba.,le
with two Spanish gunboats and Lut
into st. Nicholas slightly damaged.
Another says that the tug Osceoi;l of
the Mosquito fleet was fired upon near
Havana, and the third is that three
Spanish gunboats fired upon the United
States torpedo boat Winslow at Car
denas, but were repulsed by the Wins
low after one had been disabled.
The Vicksburg tonight brought in a
fishing smack. Both are lying out and
owing to the regulations no details can
be ascertained. The Spanish schooner
Severito was captured by the gunboat
Dolphin while trying to make her way
into Havana harbor early this morning.
The Norwegian steamer Brattsburg
with cattle attempted to run the block
ade, but was held up with a blank shot
and turned back here.

SIMPSONS FLEET.
Navy Department Does Not Expect News

for Several Days.
Washington, May 9.-There is the
best authority for the statement that,
to-day having passed without a report
from Admiral Sampson, the navy de-
partment does not expect to hear from
him within several days. The author
ity for the statement is fully acquaint-
ed with Admiral SIMPSONS plans, and
the remark would seem to indicate that
the admiral, having failed to find the
enemy at the place expected, had turn
ed his attention to the alternative pro-
iect. What this is cannot be ascertain
ed. It is evident, however, that the de-
partment is under no apprehension as
TO the safety of the American squad
ron nor of any vessel of the fleet.

TROOPS IN TAMPA,
No Order Yet Received for Their I'M
mediate Departure.

Tampa, Fla, May 9.-It can be stated
on the best of authority that no order
for the immediate departure of troops
from Tampa has yet been received and
that none is expected at present. While
officials here believe it very probable
that the plan Of campaign has been
completed, no movement of a large
body of troops from here is possible for
several days. 1t will take some time to
prepare the transports and, moreover,
nearly half the supplies necessary for
the army of invasion have yet to be
received. At the present rate of prog
ress, and taking into account the time
necessary for landing the troops, it is
hardly possible that any movement can
take place before the end of the week,
or even later.
