The Committee on Accounts held
meeting last night, and audited bills t
the amount of $418 rs.

Council will meet tonight in special
session, to consider business unfinished
at the reglar meeting last Tuesday.
One matter is the annual appropriation
ordinance, which was read first time
and objected to. The license ordinance
will also be up for consideration on
its second reading and will very prob
ably result in considerable discussion.
The ordinance increases the license tax
in several respects, and the changes
will be fought. II is understood that
an effort will be made to abolish the
license for playing ball games. Many
members are of the opinion that this
imposes hardship on the ball clubs
The license is a dollar day, but the
law has been enforced during but one
season.

FOR SPEEDIER
 EMPHASIZES Secretary Long Agrees
 With Melville. MODERN MACHINERY NEEDED FOREIGN WARsHIPs SETTING
MODERN MACHINERY NEEDED
FOREIGN WARSHIPS SETTING
 A LIVELY PACE.
Changes Necessary in the Construc- tion of the Three Big Vessels Recently Authorized by
 Congress.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, July 25.-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: Sec retary Long proposes to take measures which will. he believes, insure in- creased speed for the three battle-ships recently authorized by Congress. As recommended by a majority of the board of construction, the minimum speed of the proposed ships was fixed at sixteen knots. The minority report filed by Engineer-i Chief Melville urged that he be allowed to put more modern machinery in the ships, inti- mating that the result would be to in- crease their speed.
 Secretary Long proposes to consult with the engineer-in- chief tomorrow to learn what can be expected from the modern machinery which he pro- poses to install, and if a reasonable in- crease of speed can be obtained it will be adopted. In any event, the Secre- tary proposes, as recommended by the for bids for the construction of the pro- posed vessels a clause notifying bid ders that proposals will be given pref erence which promise the highest rate of speed, and bidders will be allowed to submit their own designs of ma chinery, which will be adopted by the department If it will give greater speed than is possible with the departmental design without lessening the efficiency of the vessels.
 Secretary Long and all of the officials recognize the necessity of having faster battle-ships, because of the speed made by most of the modern ships built and building abroad.

T0MBS IN THE TRENCHES :. FOR AMERICAN HEROES
Will Ultimately Be Given Decent Burial-ofncers' Bodies to Be
 Sent Home

NEW YORK, July 25.-A World dis patch from Santiago says: Many American heroes who fell during the heat of the fighting, being compelled to force every step of their way have been buried where they died, with the ceremony of war.
 Near the Quasina blockhouse, which the Rough Riders stormed and took some days previous to the battle of San Juan, twenty-five are buried in one grave. Chaplain Vandewater of the Seventy-flrst New York conducted the burial service twenty-five times in one day. The bodies of Captain Capron and Sergeant Hamilton Fish were buried here. Both were taken home on the steamer Hudson, which started Thursday, by Nicholas Fish, father of the dead sergeant.
 At the last ford before San Juan hill 1t Is estimated that forty of our men were buried in trenches Twenty lie in the trenches at the foot of the hill at Fl Caney. Owing to the necessity of feeding the starving. caring for the wounded and establishing an orderly government in the province, the rein torment of the brave men buried in the jungles has been impossible. Ul- timately, however, they will be given a proper burial. Only the bodies of of ficers will be sent home. Coffins will be provided for the men.

Spain Abandons the Canary Islands to the Protection Afforded by
 Their Coast Fortif-
 cations.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, July 25.-The Washing ton correspondent of the Herald tele- graphs: Spain is making desperate efforts to get her squadron into condi- tion for active service. Official infor- mation which has been received in Washington announces that the battle-ship Pelayo and the arrnored cruiser Carlos V are at Cartagena un- dergoing repairs in conseuuence of their long voyage. No confirmation has yet been received of the Herald's announcement that Admiral Canara will establish his base at Ceuta in an- ticipation of the coming of Commodore Watson's fleet. but no doubt is ex- pressed as to its correctness.
 By placing Admiral Camara's fleet at Ceuta the Spanish Government abandons the Canary Islands and the northern coast of Spain. their only pro- lection being their Notifications, which probably will not be molested by Com modore Watson's fleet, 1t being official ly announced that the object of Commo- dore Watson's fleet Is to find Admiral Camara's command and accomplish its destruction. By taking station at Ceuta Admiral Camara invites battle which it is the duty of his American
 
 termination of the department to give the American commodore an over whelming and thoroughly efficient force, no doubt exists in naval circles as to the result of the combat
 The official admission was made at the Navy Department to-day that the battle-ship Texas had been ordered to New York, the battle-s ships Iowa and Indiana are to follow the Texas, and the Massachusetts will be ordered to the United States, as soon as she has performed her part in landing troops at Fajardo, in Porto Rico.
 Not all of the ships under Rear Ad- miral Sampson's command are to leave Santiago immediately. It was ex- plained to me to-day that 1t Is deemed advisable to retain a sufficient force at that point until all danger of an attack on Santiago by the Spanish troops Is gone. This means that after the pris- oners now collecting at Santiago have been shipped to Spain, Admiral Samp- son and the men-of-war under his command will be relieved from duty at their present stations and ordered to other points

WHAT SHALL BE DONE
 WITH STARTERS ARMY ?

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Rumors of various kinds have been in circulation as to the disposition of General Shaf- ter's army, but the War Department has not come to any conclusion as yet in the matter. A sufficient force is to be kept at Santiago to maintain the position the United States has taken and to preserve order. While there is yellow fever infection in the army no attempt will be made to bring the troops to the United States. The War Department, it may be intimated, is now bending every effort to secure for General Shafter's army an ample SUD- ply of nutritious food and also will see that the soldiers have a rest and care ful attention, so that they may get in the very best condition. The medical corps Is now making a careful exami- nation of the army with a view of ad- vising the department as to the best methods of restoring the sick to health and preventing any further spread of disease It is not believed at the de- partment that any large number of troops will be necessary at Santiago after the Spanish prisoners have been deported, but the department awaits further developments before de- ciding upon any course in reference to General Shafter's army.

SHOW APPRECIATION
 OF GOOD TREATMENT
Spanish Prisoners on Seavey's Island Wildly Cheer an American
 Gunboat.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., July 25.-It was learned to-day that a remarkable demonstration occurred Saturday even ing at Camp Long on Seavey's Island, where the captured sailors of Admiral Cervera's fleet are confined. As the United States gunboat Frolic passed the island on her way to Cuba the Spanish prisoners greeted the vessel with cheers and waving of hands. The ovation took the Americans by sur prise The outburst was regarded by those in charge of the camp as re- suit of the good treatment received here by the Spaniards, who took this method of expressing their gratitude.
 Surgeon McPherson said to-day that the condition of the prisoners in the hospital showed marked improvement

SIR GEORGE IS IN
 FAVOR OF ANNEXATION
Writes Letter Strongly Approving the Taking of Hawaii and Por-
 to Rico by Uncle Sam.

LONDON, July 26.-Sir George Syden- ham Clarke, the expert on naval tactics and coast defenses, writes to the Laily Graphic to-day strongly approving Amer lean annexation of Hawaii and Porto Rico. He says:
 Tt Is for the. best interests of the world that canal connecting the Atlantic and Pacific should be controlled by the United States and whatever attitude the Euro pean powers may take, foreign interfer- ence in Central America is out of the question, because the interests of the United States and Great Britain in the future will be permanent. There, Lord Saltsburys policy toward the Unite States is statesmanlike.'
 The letter was evoked by an article in the Daily Graphic calling attention to the reversal of England's traditional policy to prevent the United States from acquiring strategical positions in the Atlantic and canal.
 The, Daily Graphic. in an editorial this morning. says 1t agrees with Sir George Sydenham Clarke, but is curious to know what induced Lord Salisbury to adopt an attitude. which has so much facilitated the United States.

THE CROATIA'S CAPTAIN
 IS HIGHLY INDIGNANT

ST. THOMAS, D. W. l., July 25.- Captain Lotze of the German steamer Croatia, which arrived here yesterday and reported having been fired upon three times off San Juan. Porto Rico, on Saturday, by an American warship, understood to be the United States cruiser New Orleans, was quoted in an interview to-day as saying that the first solid shot fell within few yards of the ship. The steamer was imme- diately stopped, but her captain adds that two more shots were fired over the Croatia's bows from close range. Latel an officer from the New Orleans boarded the Croatia and asked if the ship was injured. Captain Lotze was highly indignant at being fired upon, as he considered his ship was outside the blockading zone. He says he saw nothing of the invading fleet
 The French gunboat ulton arrived here to-day. She is going in search of the French line steamer Olinde Rodri- guez. which was captured by United States warship and taken to Charles ton, s. C., while on a voyage from Hayti to St. Thomas with passengers, mails, etc.

patches, as the general has not with him, so far as is known, any dispatch boats It will at least be Saturday before any direct cable communication can be established with him, and in the meantime reliance must be had on the dispatch boats running across to St Thomas, distant about four hours run.
 It was stated at the War Department that General Brooke and General Haines would sail to-day from New port News to join Miles, and that most of General BrooKe's command would be embarked by Wednesday morning. The work of authorization at Hampton Roads is being conducted with much less difficulty and delay than was ex- pected Colonel Hecker, in charge of the transportation division of the War Department, who has just returned from that place, has reported to Sec retary Alger that it is well suited to the shipment of the troops Conse- quently the Secretary to-day ordered all of General Grants brigade, 5000 men, from Chickamauga to Newport News It is not expected that all the transports required for their accommo- dation will have arrived there by the time the soldiers get in, but they will be encamped on suitable ground there, and it is believed will be benefited by the change from Chickamauga-

RUSSIA'S MOVE
 NOT HOSTILE Will Not Interfere at
 Manila. SUCH IS OFFICIAL BELIEF SENDS BUT FOUR WARsHIPs TO THE PHILIPPINES. If the Czar Intends to Attempt to Restrain American Action Larger Fleet Would Have
 Been Dispatched.
SUCH IS OFFICIAL BELIEF
SENDS BUT FOUR WARSHIPs
 TO THE PHILIPPINES.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


 NEW YORK, July 25.-The Wash ington correspondent of the Herald telegraphs the following: Washing ton is without official confirmation of the report that four Russian warships have started for the Philippines, and that four Japanese men-of-war have been ordered to rendezvous with the other Japanese ships at Saischo. The fact that the report comes from Shanghai, the hotbed of rumors, and so far away from Port Arthur and Tokio, makes the officials doubt it's authenticity. In any event none de- nies the right of Russia to send her warships to the Philippines if she de- sires to do sO but collection of four at that point with a German force of about the same number will make the combined fleets far more formidable than that of Admiral Dewey
 The authorities recognize that the collecting of formidable fleet of for eign warships at Manila will be very embarrassing to the American ad- m1ral, as well as to this Government. as 1t would undoubtedly be for the purpose Of exercising moral or re- straining influence with regard to the ultimate aims of the United States In the Philippines.
 l was told tonight that, so far as Is officially known, Russia has not entered into any agreement with any European nation for the purpose of influencing the United States in the Philippines, and it is not believed she would send such small fleet if she intends to in- terfere. Russian interests in these islands are small and the Czar's Gov ernment, if 1t sends ships to the Phil ippine Islands, cannot therefore have the excuse made for Germany that the reason for sending the fleet to Manila is the necessity for providing protec- tion for her citizens and their interests
 No doubt is felt in administration circles that Englands and Japan's ships would cooperate with the Ameri- can men-of-war in the event of inter- national complications, but such CO., operation will not take place, the au- thorities predict, because the different ways the European powers are pulling is a splendid guarantee of non-inter- ference with American operations.
