HOUSE VOTES FUNDS.
To Keep Up the Army and Navy for
Six Months.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The urgent def
cheney bill to provide for the support of
the military and naval establishments
was passed by the house yesterday, prac-
tically without opposition. fear had
been expressed that the measure might
open up a prolonged debate upon the con-
duct of the war, but the Democratic lead
ers decided that such debate would
properly come later upon the regular ap-
preparation bills or upon the bill for the
reorganizat ton of the army. There was
not a word of criticism of the war during
the debate.
The only point upon which an issue was
raised was to whether the bill, providing
1t did for the pay of the volunteers I'M
q modification of the law under which the
volunteers were mustered into service.
Mr.. ATcRae (Ark.) offered an amendment
providing that it should not be so con-
strued, and upon it there was a general
discussion as to the advisability Of muster
ing the volunteers out before the regular
army was increased Mr. Cannon finally
accepted the McRae amendment, and that
removed the only shadow of opposition to
the bill.
A number of amendments were adopted
upon the recommendation of the apprOpri-
atoms committee, which received some
supplemental estimates after the bill was
prepared. The largest of these was an
item of Sc, 00,000 for an emergency fund
for the war department and $578, 600 for the
ordnance department, increasing the
amount carried by the bill to $69, S95, 1872.

CHANGE OF FLAGS.
Everything is Being Put in Readiness
for the Event at Havana.

Havana, Dec. 9.-GeneraI James F.
Wade, president of the United States
evacuation commission, has received
certain instructions from President Nc
KinIey which seem to indicate that he
will be appointed military governor
of western Cuba. A formal announce
ment is daily expected from Washing
ton though it may be delayed until the
time comes for the change of flags.
General Greene will be governor of
the city of Havana. He has already
virtually taken hold, as he is having
some of the streets cleaned and is de-
vising measures for the sanitation and
policing Of the city
Senior Fernando de Castro, the Span
ish civil governor, is accepting General
Greene's suggestions and aiding in the
preliminary measures to be adopted.
The proclamation of Marquis de Este
ban, the alcalde of Havana, issued on
the advice of General Greene, with re-
gard to throwing refuse into the streets,
is commented on favorably by the Ha-
vana press.
The preparation for change of flags
is thus being brought about by degrees,
and the transition will not be abrupt
Already the evacuation of the province
of Havana is complete, except for the
troops stationed in the city. OF these
there are 1900. General Castellanos
does not fix a date for their withdrawal
earlier than January l, but they will
probably retire to Cienfuegos before
Christmas. The behavior of General
CasteIlanos, so far as the Americans
are concerned, is most agreeable. He
raid an official visit to the United
states evacuation commissioners, re-
turning the visit officially paid to him.
Admiral SIMPSONS departure waits
upon the arrival of General Butler from
the United States next week as 1t IS
thought best to have two commission
ers here.
Secretary Long has instructed Adj
miraI Sampson to leave whenever 1T
suits his convenience.
General CasteIlanos received a cable
order yesterday to draw on Paris for
81, 500, 600 with which to pay his troops.

Van Bell against the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe railroad for $780, 900, for the
killing of her son in the Santa Fe yards
in this city a few weeks ago.
It will be remembered that on one
Saturday morning Ed. Van Bell, who
was employed as switchman in the
yards, in attempting to cut off five cars
for the house track, was killed instant
ly. How it happened is a question
Some say that he slipped and fell to the
ground. others say that his foot was
caught in the guard rail, while the
engineer says that the last he saw of
him he gave a signal to back up and
went in between the cars to cut them
off. When Van Bell was discovered
under the wheels the air on the cars
which he was trying to uncouple was
not disconnected and that leaves room
for the supposition that he attempted
to disconnect the air while standing on
the bumpers and fell off.
