London, July 1G.-The Gibraltar
correspondent of the Daily News
says:
A naval battle off the Spanish
coast is considered imminent. The
suspension of the constitutional guar
antees is a symptom Of the distracted
condition of Spain. The nation
wants peace; the army wants
victory. Spain cannot continue to
struggle, yet peace will be the signal
for revolution, and the European in
tervention which was formerly de-
sired, is now dreaded.
The government, through FL
Epoca, advocates direct negotiations
with the United States.
The military press Indignantly
cbaracterizes peace as treason.
Wealthy families are deserting Cadiz,
Seville and Malaga. Supplies are
shipped from here to the American
consul at Tangier."

CORPORATION TAX.
Plat and Lindsay vigorously Attack
This Feature of the War Reve-
nue. Measure.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-That feature
of the war revenue measure placing a
tax of one quarter of per centum upon
the gross receipts of corporations was
under discussion in the senate, and in
cidentally the proposed tax on bank de-
posits was adverted to. The principal
speeches were delivered by Mr.. Platt
(Rep., Conn. and Mr.. Lindsay Dem,
Ky.), both of whom vigorously at
tackled the cooperation tax. The weight
of the formers argument was thrown
against the tax ON the ground that it
was unconstitutional, because the tax
was not levied alike upon all persons
engaged in particular line of bust
ness. He maintained that an occupa-
ton tax could be levied provided that
the conditions were fair and equitable,
but that the business of a corporation
could not be taxed, simply because it
was conducted by a corporation. 70 be
equitable the tax must be laid upon the
business whether it was conducted by q
corporation. partnership, q firm or an
individual.
Mr.. Lindsay vigorously antagonized
the proposed issue Of legal tender notes,
declaring tilaG it accumulated the exist
ing menace to the gold reserve of the
treasury and was, besides, the dearest
money ever devised. He held that such
an issue would be blow to the nation S
financial credit. He, too, presented an
argument against the proposed occupa-
ton tax, maintaining that if enacted
into law it would breed batch of law
suits, instead of providing what the
government needed-ready money with
which to conduct the war operations.

Soldiers, Sailors and Marines.

Order Telling How to Send Letters to
Soldiers, Sailors and Marines.
WASHINGTON, May 25.-Two orders
in regard to mail for and from soldiers
and sailors have been issued by Post
master General Smith. One order takes
the Philippine islands out of the cate.
CORY of places where mail communica-
ton with the United States is suspended
and the other revives regulation per-
uniting soldiers, sailors and marines to
send letters postage upon which is to be
collected on delivery. Following is the
text of the order regarding mail for
United States forces at the Philippines:
In view of existing hostilities between
the United States and Spain, which ne
cessitates the presence of United States
forces in active service at and near the
Philippine islands, and of the fact that
postal communication with said islands,
as one of the Spanish colonies, is pro-
hibited by my order No. 161, dated the
Goth ult., it is hereby ordered that articles
of mail matter for or from persons con-
nected with said United States forces
shall be subject to the postal rates and
conditions applicable to similar articles
in the domestic mails of the United
States
The articles shall be sent to the COM
mandants of the forces by every oppor-
tunity offered by the sailing of United
States vessel for said forces. The sailing
dates of the vessels cannot be announced
in advance and the articles should there
fore be forwarded promptly to San Fran
CISCO in order that they may be dispatched
to destination at the first opportunity.
The other order tells soldiers, sailors
and marines how to send their mail
postage to be collected on delivery.
This regulation is in line with a bill
by Representative Lybrand of Ohio, ex-
tending franling privileges through the
mails to officers and enlisted men of the
United States forces.

Boston is always interesting. just
now the town of the ancient Goldfish
is excited over the fear that the
Spanish fleet will lombard her
shores Every time thunder show
er breaks over the bay Boston hears
the cannonading of hostile ships.
Forgetful that it is long sail from
the West Indies or Spain to Boston,
and that the United States makes
the same provision for the protec-
tion OF all coast towns, Boston feels
sure that the minute the Spaniards
begin to do bloody work it will be
in Boston. But Boston need not be
so alarmed. While in its own eyes
it is the only place to be seen, the
Spaniard would find other towns
along the coast as well as the settle
ment on Massachusetts bay. Bos-
toms vanity is greater than her
danger.

Our distinguished fellow towns
man George G. Sturgiss is announc-
ed as candidate for congress. 1t
has been uncertain heretofore wheth
er he would allow his name to be
thus used but it is done so now with
his authority. All the machinery OF
his party is against him and the
fight will concentrate on him, but
that does not prevent him from be-
ing the best man in the Republican
party in his district. Possibly that
IS the reason they will fight him so
bitterly. So far as we are concern
ed, if some Republican is to repre-
sent this district in congress we
trust it will be Mr. Sturgiss. He is
man of marked ability, thorough
gentlemen, full of business and al
ways true to his friends.
