The President on the 18th signed the
war revenue bill, which goes into effect
Immediately, and the government viii
now have ample funds to prosecute the
war against Spain to a successful and,
il is to be hoped, speedy conclusion
Under its provisions the Secretary of the
Treasury is authorized to issue per cent.
bonds to the amount of $500, 100000 and
certificates of Indebtedness to the extent
of sIOO, OOO, 600. If necessary. therefore,
the administration can spend half bill
lion dollars in the conduct of the war be-
fore.askiug Congress to make supplement
tary appropriations. In addition, the in
creased internal revenue taxation on beer
and other fermented liquors and tobacco
and the stamp taxes for which the new
law provides will swell the receipts of tie
treasury and assist materially in paying
off the increased obligations of the gov
eminent. The first issue of bonds will be
for 5000, OO0, 900 and the Treasury Depart
ment has made complete arrangements to
secure popular subscription to the loan.
The stamp tax will. be felt in almost
every commercial transaction. On checks
it is 2 cents; on kilograms and telephone
messages, cent each on warehouse re.
ceipts, % cents protests of notes or bills,
25 cent?; power of attorney for real estate
deals, 25 cents; mortgages, 25 cents up
to 81 500, and 25 cents for each addition
al $500, bankers' licenses, $50 year and
an additional tax of 50 on each 1000 of
capital exceeding s25, 900. Bonds. de-
bentures or certificates of Indebtedness by
an association, company or corporation
are taxed cents on each 500 of face
value; sales or agreement to sell any pro.
ducts or merchandise at any exchange or
board of trade or similar place, either for
present or future delivery, cent on each
800 or fractional part thereof. Deaie;
in tobacco and manufacturers will pay a
license tax ranging from Sc to $24 year.
Brokers are taxed according to the class
to which they belong a tax is imposed
on fire and life insurance, and also on
proprietary medicines and chewing gum.
Proprietors of theatres, bowling alleys
and circuses will help to pay the expenses
of the war. There are other subjects OF
taxation which are not included in the
foregoing enumeration, but the list as
given shows that our lawmakers at Wash
ington have been very successful in devils
ing means to increase the treasury re.
ceipts. A duty of 10 cents pound on
tea will be felt inalmost every household,
especially as it is laid without regard to
the grade of the tea. circumstance which

Not All the News All the Time

OFF JURAGUA, Cuba, Thursday, June
%, by Associated Press dispatch boat, filed
Port Antonio, Friday, June "a. noon.-A
copy of newspaper published in Santiago
de Cuba called La Banderola Espanola (The
Spanish Flag on June Is contained in its
local columns not a single reference to the
blockade or the war, but calmly discussed
plans for placing electric lights on the Plaza,
church fairs and other matters of town gos-
sip and alleged cable news from Madrid re-
porting the sailing of another big Spanish
fleet from Havana and the capture of the
insurgent chief Hernandez; also that lab
soutely reliable news from Washington
says that yellow fever has broken out in
the bloclxading fleet and that forty deaths
have already occurred"
The only real information contained in the
paper was dispatch from Havana saying
that Gen. Arolas had seized all the food in
the market there and would sell it to the IN
habitants at reasonable prices to prevent
the squeezing of the population.

GEN. GRANTS SHAM BATTLE
It Proves an Interesting Lesson fol
Recruits at Camp Thomas

CHICKAMAUGA NATIONAL PARK,

Thomas, practically the event of the week,
was the second demonstration of General
Fred Grants now noted battle problem. AS
early as four o'clock the regiments COM
posing the Third Division of the First
Corps, General Grants command, were
astir and by $50 all the men had their
Breakfast and were in line.
The first column, composed of the First
Vermont, Eighth New York and Third
Tennessee, under the command of Colonel
o. D. Clark after considerable maneuver-
ing, secured possession Of the observation
tower at the northeast corner of the park
and prepared to hold it. The second column
composed of the Fourteenth New York, Sec
ond Nebraska and First Missouri, COM
manded by Colonel Charles ]. Bills, arrived
short time after and began vigorous at
tack the most skillfui tactics being en-
ployed. The first column in possession of
the tower held it's position well, however,
and the attacking column failed to dislodge
it. The firing was continuous and the bat
tie had very much the appearance of the
real thing. General Grant himself was
pleased with the work done. Thousands of
soldiers and civilians watched the contest.

CUTTING THE CABLE
But One Cuban Line Remains Beyond
Control of the United States

WASHINGTON, June 25.-The Island Of
Cuba is, to the best knowledge of the Off
cials here, still connected with the outside
world with only one cable save those
crossing to Key West, and the War Depart
ment, through General Greedy, is not re-
taxing its efforts to cut that last link. This
runs into the island of Santiago, crossing
from Kingston, Jamaica. and belongs TO
an English company. For several weeks
past it has been known that this cable was
in workingf order and the st. Louis has
been trying desperately to cut it. In addi-
ton the cable steamer Marvel Is to be as
signed to the task. and between the two
1t Is hoped that the cable will soon be cut.
The difficulties in the way of accomplishing
this are much greater than in the case Of
any other of the cables. The Kingston
cable was laid fully twenty years ago. and
has become covered with barnacles and
marine deposits until its original size has
been increased to that of mans arm. In
addition to that the cable Is completely COW
cred with seaweed SO that 1t is almost i'm
possible for the ordinary graphing irons
used by steamers to catch hold of 1t unless
they should strike the cable at some poin.
where it hung over depression in the
bottom. Even when caught in the Crap
ping irons the cable Is of such weight,
owing to the marine deposits upon its sur
face, that 1t would be almost beyond the
power of any lifting apparatus on board an
ordinary ship to hoist it to the surface from
the vast depths in which it lies On the
south coast Of Cuba, within a mile of
Shore the bottom pitches suddenly down.
ward to the depth of more than mile, and
/. is exceedingly difficult to pick up cable
in such water. General Greely's boat has
done this on at least one occasion, and there
by earned the admiration Of the profess
siona cable layers who are often engaged
for weeks at time in the Atlantic trying
to raise an injured cable. The last cable
was pulled up at depth of one and one
sixth miles from the surface. and its weight
was enormous. Probably it will be easier
to reach this Santiago and Kingston cable
after the batteries and forts lining the har-
Dor entrance and just above have been re-
duced, for then the cable cutting boat will
be able to go into shoal water near the
shore from which it is now excluded by the
fire of the battery.
