General Shafter has His Army
in Fine Position for the
Assault on Santiago.
He WILL USE BIG GUNS.
The spaniards Cannot Stand a Whist

Stricken.

Our troops are in position near
Santiago to make a good, quick
movement when the word of advance
is given, and there will be no halt
until the city is taken.
Gen. Lawton will probably make
a diversion with his artillery soon as
as it Is placed in position. Heavy
rain this afternoon made it impossi-
BILE to move today beyond Gen.
Wheeler's headquarters. But the
roads will dry quickly. The guns
will probably be brought up to-
morrow aud the intrenchments
will be shelled by the artillery and
Col. Woods dynamite guns. The
shrapnel fire will be more used by
artillery. The guns are 80 10 inches
and with shrapnel they are etfec-
tive at $500 yards.
The Cubans say the Spaniards
are in deadly fear of dynamite and
Gen. Lawton will see how he can
territy them.

1t is thought that Aguinaldo, the
insurgent leader in the Philippines,
forced by his successor in battle,
has about come to the conclusion
that he will cut the acquaintance
OF Dewey and the Americans and
ask the European powers to recog-
nize him as the leader of the new
territory gained from the Span
Iards. AS treachery has always
found its punishment, so will Agui-
naldo find his before he is many
days older if he is caught playing
treacherous hand with this country
after the aid and help we have ex-
tended to him. Europe should be
above treating with an migrate.

THE WAR REVENUE BILL.

Without incident worthy of special
note the war revenue measure was
passed. by the Senate on Saturday
evening at 705 o'clock. The bill was
under consideration eight hours on that
day.
A score or more of attempts were
made to amend it, but in only three or
four instances were the attempts sue
cessful.
Particular effort was made to amend
the bond provision of the measure but
it was futile in every instance.
The most notable amendment made
to the measure was that offered by Mr..
Tillman placing a duty of ten cents q
, pound on all tea imported into the
United States. The amendment Great
ed no debate and was adopted by q
vote of IS to 80. 1t is calculated by the
Senate experts that the duty, if it be
finally enacted into law, will raise al
least 100000 year and probably
more.
An amendment offered by Mr.. Chill
ton provides for a tax graduated ac-
cording to price upon all articles sold
under patent right, trade mark or
name not open to general use and
which are not otherwise taxed by the
bill.
Through an amendment offered by
Mr.. Lindsay the Senate decided not to
place stamp tax upon bundles OF
newspapers, wholly or partly printed,
which weigh less than one hundred
pounds.
A tax of four cents barrel was
placed on aGulterated flour and stamp
tax of one cent on every ticket emitting
the holder to seat in palace or par
lar Car or berth in sleeping car, the
company selling the seat or berth being
required to affix the stamp.
On the passage of the measure every
republican voted in the affirmative. By
parties the vote in favor of the measure
was SO follows: Republicans 80, demo
Gratis Z, populists 1 and silver republi-
can total As.
The democrats who voted for the bill
were Messrs. Gallery, German, Lindsay,
McEnery, Mitchell, Murphy and Tur-
pie; the populist was Mr.. Kyle and the
silver republican was Mr.. Mantle.
Mr.. Allison moved that the Senate in
sist upon its amendments and that con-
ferees be appointed.
The motion was agreed to and
Messrs. Allison, Aldrich and Jones were
named as conferees.

Target Practice at Santiago

MADRID, June Csc a. ma dispatch
from Santiago de Cuba says that at ten
o'clock on Saturday evening twenty
American warships opened a hot attack
on Santiago de Cuba, but that they
were so distant that their shots did not
reach the forts. The dispatch adds,
that seeing the futility of the enemy's
cannonade, the Spaniards made no re-
ply to their fire, awaiting the near ap.
proach of the ships, but the attacking
fleet continued to remain in it's distant
position. The dispatch further says the
bombardment ! lsted forty-6ve minutes
and was not resumed, and that on Sun
day sixteen American warships were
still moored at the same place, in sight
of Santiago de Cuba.

London Press ON the situation.

LONDON, June 6.-Every evening
paper of this city echoes the morning
newspapers praise Lieutenant Hobson's
exploit with the collier Merrimac at
Santiago de Cuba, which, they say, was
a gallant deed, ably planned and plucki-
iy carried out. The Pail Mall Gazette
says: 1.-THE heroism oil these men and the
courteous chivalry of Admiral Cervsra
will not be forgotten in hurry" Con-
tinuing the Gazette says it thinks that
as result of the Merrimac expedition,
the naval war between Spain end the
United States is practically finished,
and the paper adds: Had the Cadiz
squadron meant business it would not
have dallied until Admiral Cervera's
fleet had been rendered useless" The
Westminster Gazette, referring to Adj
miral Cervera's action in connection
with the capture ofthe Merrimac's crew
says: ut is an incident which ennobles
war and will surely help 10 securing
honorable peace. The United States
may we'll be generous to such chiVal-
rOus fOe5.n
