iizing the postmaster general 10 estab-

ably by the poatofiice and post roads
sommittee and unanimously passed.
Subsequently an amendment to the
postoffice appropriation bill was agreed
to appropriating S50, 900 TO carry the bill
Into effect. The postofiice appropria-
uon bill was under discussion during
almost the entire session, the subject Of
discussion being the proposition to re-
duce the compensation OF railroads
twenty per cent for carrying the malls.
The amendment was defeated by the
decisive vote OF 40 to s. l
Y AT a late hour It became evident the
blu could not be disposed Of to-day and
1t was unanimously agreed to take u
vote upon It at 2 o'clock tomorrow.

cers and men was followed Quickly
with a unanimous vote and with equal
concert the house passed theEblll cre-
ating an additional rear admiralship for
the hero OF Manila. The bill providing
for the organization of q volunteer en-
gineer brigade and enlistment OF 10000
volunteer troops Immune to tropical
diseases was passed after two. hours
debate. The principal ground OF oppo-
sition presented was found in the fea-
lures giving to the President the ap-
pointment Of aH officers. The senate
bill authorizing the army! to distribute
food among the suffering Cubans and
to arm the Cuban people was passed.

has been cut of from It's former means
OF cable communication with General

without n oIrcuitous cable route around

The British government had already

the latter is connected by cable with
Cuba. Now that Halifax Is connected

'Measures TO BIO Taken to Reinforce Ad

WASHINGTON d. c.. May s.-At to-
days special cabinet meeting the lead
Ing subjects OF discussion were the
measures to be taken to reinforce Ad-
miral Dewey at Manila and the prob
able movement On Cuba AS to the for
mer there has been 40 material change
in the plans. Approximately 5000
troops will be dispatched on the City
OF Pekin and other transports. The
Charleston will act as convoy. The
McCulloch has not yet Left Mrs Bay,
outside Hong Kong harbor, where she
Is waiting further Instructions TO Ad-
miral Dewey, which will be sent prob. !.
ably to-day or tomorrow.
In his cablegram received here Sat-
urday the admiral made no request for
troops, not knowing the government In
tentlon In regard to the occupation OF
the Islands. It seems quite certain,
however, that the government Intends
TO make an active campaign against
the Spanish forces there and Admiral
Dewey will be SO Informed. 1t Is not
probable that tho squadron will bonn
bard the city or engage in any active
work against the Notifications there ex-
cept such as the admiral may find nee

SPANJARDS SADDENED

BY tho Manfln Disaster, bat sagn.tn Says
Thny Have not Lost Heart-what Grloves
the Premier. iSL
Z LONDON, May s.-The Madrid cor
respondent Of the Morning Post has had
a long interview with Senor sagasta
the premier, in the course of which the
Spanish statesman said:
THE sad events at Manila have sad
dened all spaniards. but have not made
them lose heart. We can say with con-
fidence OF this disaster that nothing has
occurred to wound our pride. Much has
been said regarding the causes OF the
catastrophe, but all the discussion has
been beside the question. The truth Is
We were too few and were oyerwhelm-
ed by the great superiority OF the en-
emy'e forces and by the fortunes of,w
which unhappily went against us.
I'm the present juncture there is no
time to lose. 1t is useless to debate.
We must reserve all our strength and
all our energy for tomorrow. Our first
duty Is to unite In order to vanquish
our enemies and to uphold the honor OF
Spain. 1t, is necessary to secure that
end for the government to have support
OF all. without considerations OF party
and exclusively on patriotic grounds.
Parliament, too, must grant the gov
ernment,t the resources required. --'
81 Now this is precisely what grleves
me. I believed that the first cannon shot
fired by. the United States against our
troops would be signal for the union
and the fraternity OF all Spaniards, as
all are equally affected by the assault
OF the United States. I was mistaken.
Certain parliamentarian groups are In
disagreement with the government and
have the pretension to make conditions
In return for their support. They thus
paralyZe our efforts and diminish the
strength which Is Indispensable to the
government
When our political adversarIes at
tack the government, when they critl-'
else the acts OF the crown while war Is
proceeding, they are committing crime
for which some day they may have to
answer before the country"

BRITISH INTERESTS


At Manila = Farther Naval AssI,tance
Asked-City VIII not Surrender Until
Blown TO Pieces. .sf
LONDON, May 1o.-The Hong Kong
correspondent Of the Daily Chronicle
says "The British in Manila have for
warded petition through the British
consul to Vive Admiral Seymour (com-
mander in chief OF the China statlon)
for further naval assistance and 1t Is
anticipated that additional vessels Will
be sent there on Wednesday. The Brit
ish consul Is working in thorough har-
mony with the American commander;
but It Is felt that the overwhelming
British commercial interests require su-
pervIsion by force sufficient to keep
the Spaninrds and natives in check.
There is a desire here TO advocate
British acquisition OF the Philippines.
Business ct Manila is at complete
stnndstill, but the Spaniards are not
likely to surrender until the city Is blown
to pieces" f$
