Kingston, Jamaica, June 6.-[Copy-
right, 1898, by The Associated Press.]-
The last cable strands between Cuba
and the outside world were cut by a ca
BILE vessel conveyed here by the United
States dispatch gunboat Dolphin. This
black sea crab delved all day along the
coast, hour by hour, and its powerful
claws at length brought up the barna-
cle-clustered cable strands and snapped
them and Cuba is wholly isolated. The
first cable picked up was that running
to Kingston. 1t was found early In the
morning. The coast loop connecting
Santiago and Guantanamo was then
cut. Proceeding TO Guantanamo the
cable vessel finally grappled and sew
cred the Haytian cable.

the land wires connecting the coast
towns being wholly at the mercy of tha
insurgents. Therefore, in the event OF
American troops landing in Cuba the
absence of the coast loops will seriously
interfere with the hasty mobilization
of the Spanish troops.

In the meanwhile, the dispatches from
Santiago de Cuba say the Spaniards
pay tribute to the audacity of the
Americans in so cleverly attempting to
block the channel According TO the
Spaniards, II would be foolishness upon
the part of the Americans to attempt to
force the harbor entrance, which is de-
scribed as being long and narrow and
thoroughly mined, seemingly forming
an insurmountable barrier. There are
a great number Of insurgents in the
vicinity of Santiago probably waiting
for some decisive action upon the part
OF the American fleet, which will un-
doubtedly be the signal for a land at
tack upon the town.

MAY HAVE BEEN LONGS ORDERS.
Sinking of the Merrimac Probably Due to
Home Instructions.

washington. June 6.-Navy officers
have received nothing official from San
tiago de Cuba explaining the reason for
sending in the collier Merrimac to be
sunk in the channel leading TO the har-
bor. The report that the vessel was
sent on her perilous mission to be delib-
erately sunk as an obstruction TO the
escape of Cervera's fleet Is generally
accepted. When the first press dis
patches came saying that an auxiliary
cruiser had gone to the bottom while
irving to force the passage IL was dis
credited.
Later the information showed that 1t
was the colser and that she had crew
OF only eight, who are said to have been
captured by the Spanish. IL lis not I'M
probably that the sinking of the Mer-
rimac was the resuE of instructions
from the navy depalNnent. Secretary
Long said to one of his callers the day
it was announced the Spanish fleet was
in the harbor:
"Now that we know that they are
there. think the best thing to do is TO
send in an old scow loaded with rock
and sink IL in the mouth OF the channel
so the fleet cannot get out"
The only material for obstructing the
harbor's mouth accessible to Admiral
Sampson seems to have been the col
lIer and she was sacrificed.
Lieutenant Hobson and the hero crew
of the Merrimac were saved In the fol-
lowing manner. Unable, after the sink
ing OF their vessel, to make their way
through the storm of shot and shell,
they rowed into the harbor to the Span
ish flagship and were taken on board
unharmed. The Spanish admiral, under
a flag Of true, on Friday sent word to
the American admiral that he offered
TO exchange the prisoners. adding that
in the meanwhile Hobson and his party
would be treated with the greatest
kindness.

DOINGS IN CONGRESS.
Senate Defeats Income Tax Amendment to
War Revenue Bill.

Washington, June 6.--After the trans
action of brief routine business the SEN
ate resumed consideration of the war
revenue measure. AS no amendment
was pending Allison suggested the bill
be reported from the committee Of the
whole to the senate. The suggestion de-
velpoed several amendments and also
the absence Of a quorum. Mason, who
said he had an important amendment,
demanded call of the senate. After a
delay of fifteen minutes quorum was
secured.
Morgan then took the floor and offered
an amendment requiring the secretary
of the treasury TO proceed with the coll
lection of taxes under the provisions
OF the income tax law of 1894 not di-
rectly repealed by the Dingley bill IL
the secretary of the treasury should re-
fuse to levy the taxes under the law.
the amendment provides that il shall
be the duty of the attorney general To
proceed against the secretary of the
treasury TO compel him TO perform the
duties, and If the attorney general
should refuse to take that action any
taxpayer of the United States may
bring the necessary action to compel
the enforcement OF the law. morgan
said that full opportunity was present
ed by his amendment TO have the ques-
tion which IL involves settled by the
supreme court. for quite naturally, af-
firmative action taken by congress on
the subject would relegate the entire
subject to the supreme court.
The Morgan amendment was rejected
--35 to SS.
The senate adopted an amendment TO
the war revenue bill providing for tax
of / cent on every berth in a sleeping
car and seat in a palace car sold as
substitute for Whites amendmentlevy-
ing a tax OF one-fourth of l cent on
gross receipts on sleeping car compa-
nies.
Upon request OF Dingley the house or
dered the printing of 5000 copies Of the
revenue bill as II shall pass the senate.
He then moved to adjourn, but with.
drew ii. and Payne called up the senate
bill to grant an American register to
ship China. 1t was passed. Lacey Sc
cured the consideration of the senate
bill to protect homesteaders who may
enlist and serve In the forces Of the
| United States. After some delay IL was
passed and upon motion of Dinley the
house adjourned at 12:45 p. m.
