She Made Discoveries.

One Of our representative women. who be-
longs to fourteen clubs actively and as
many more honorably, and whose days are
not long enough for the accomplishment of
her schemes for the advancement of woman
tells us that she bought a war map down
town yesterday and made some very inter-
esting and valuable discoveries She has
learned that Spain is two-thirds of the size
of the State of Texas; that Cuba is lust
about as large as Indiana. and that the
area of the Philippine islands equals that
OF Arizona; that the population of Spain is
one-fourth that of the United States, the
population of Cuba three-fourths that of IN
diana and the population of the Philippines
a little in excess of that of New York State
She was so eated over these discoveries that
she was on her way TO the Woman's Club
to call a special meeting of the study class
for the purpose of spreading this informa-
ton and making further investigation She
conhded TO US that until yesterday she has
always supposed that Spain was as big as IL
is naughty, While she had labored under the
impression that Cuba would easily tit into
Cook county, and she added that she greatly
reared that these same erroneous views
were entertained by a majority of her sis
tiers IN the great cause of feminine progress.

for learning shown by this jealous woman,

NASHVILLE CAUGHT A PRIZE.
Spanish Gunboats Tried to Interfere but
Were Scared on.

Key West, May 2.-On last Friday
afternoon, after an exchange of shots
with the Spanish gunboats, the Amer
lean gunboat Nashville captured the
Spanish mail steamship Argonata OIL
the Cienfuegos coast The prize ar
rived here this afternoon in charge OF
cruiser Marblehead. The Spaniard was
first sighted far in the eastward, and
evidently was making for the harbor,
under all steam. There was a raging
sea running. and before the Nashville
buckled to her work the Spaniard
swept silently and easily away. For
while the Spaniard held her own. The
Nashville finally got her second boiler
to work and began slowly creeping up.
At three miles distant there came the
pink Of shot from the Nashville's
bow gun and jet of water sprayed
the air a hundred yards in front of the
frightened Spaniard. 1t only seemed
to give desperate speed to her heels.
Another half mile and out of the
haze, close in shore. swept two Spanish
gunboats. The Nashville wheeled like
an angry dog, and with water spring
ing from her fore foot, made directly
at them. The crew of the Spanish
mail ship gave Spanish cheers and
swung their hats. They were greatly
encouraged at the sight of two to one
in favor Of yellow and red. At mile
and half the gun OF the leading Span
ish gunboat shot The ball flew high
and kicked up the water far over the
Nashyille's tall tunnels. The other
Spaniard let go one of her guns, and to
this day no one knows where that ball
landed. 1t was never heard of.
The Nashville swerved, Il sheet of
flame and smoke broke from her star
board side. 1t was enough. The two
Spaniards turned like coyotes and ran
ashore and were swallowed up in the
haze.
The chase after the mail ship was
resumed, and a shot brought her to
terms. She was taken charge of by
crew Of the Nashville and brought TO
Admiral Sampson.
On board We're Colonel Pincena de
COstig of the Third Spanish cavalry
and twenty-eight staff officers. on
Mariel the marines took charge OF the
prize and took her into Key West.

PREPARING TRANSPORTATION.
A Number of Large Steamers Being
Gathered at Tampa

Tampa. Fla. May 2-Slowly but
surely arrangements are being made
for the landing of an American force
in Cuba. BY Friday the following fleet
of vessels is expected to be waiting at
the wharves at Tampa for the recep-
tion of the United States troops:
The Florida. Olivette and Mascotte
of the Plant line. the Alamo and Comal
of the Mallory line, the Aransas. and
possibly the Lampasas of the Morgan
line. and the Allegheny and Berkshire
of the Merchants and Miners line.
These boats have all been contracted
for, and have a carrying capacity of
about 6.OOO troops. 1t Is not believed,
however. that the embarkation will
take place before Sunday. Much re-
mains to be done in the way of gather
ing ammunition and supplies. and sew
eral days must elapSe before all is in
readiness.
1t is believed that the force will be
made UP of 5000 infantry, 1000 cav
airy and ten batteries of artillery. in
all close to 5000 men. Only one regi-
ment of cavalry. the Ninth. is now in
camp at Tampa. bur the Tenth. now at
Chickamauga. will. 1t is believed, be
brought down to fill out the quota.
Two hundred native Cubans who
have been quietly enlisted in New
York by General Julio SanGuilly. ar
rived in Tampa tonight. They will be
formed into cavalry regiment, and
under the leadership of the famous Gu
ban who enlisted them, will probably
embark for Cuba with the American
troops. The rest of the regiment will
be made up of Cubans from Tampa
and vicinity.

Denver. April 30.-This city now has
a military aspect, as n thousand sol
diers come and go through the streets.
Members of the national guard began
to arrive from out of town at noon
yesterday, and nearly all had arrived
before dark.
The previous night the local militia,
under directions, had prepared some
tents for occupation and had on the
ground provisions and commissariat
utensils, so that dinner was served to
the men shortly after the first detach-
ment arrived in the camp. Companies
from Longmont, Greeley. Boulder and
Colorado Springs were the first on the
ground.
Brigadier General Hale, ubiquitous,
quiet. watchful, with eyes on every
thing that was going on, rendered
much assistance to the officers and
men in arranging quarters.
AS 1t was raining when the hrst
troops arrived. they reached the
grounds covered with mud from head
TO foot and their clothes were soaking
wet. Those who arrived later were
not so unfortunate. The bluff where
the camp has been pitched is SO situ-
ated that while chilly at nights the
water does not remain long. 1t is east

REVENUE BILL PASSED.
Goes Through the House Under Forced

with only the amendments agreed up-
on by the Republican members of the
ways and means committee added. In
order to accomplish this parliament
tary maneuver was necessary, as the
hausted by the minority in trying to
amend the bond feature of the bill.
Mr.. Dingley offered as a substitute an
entirely new bill, containing these
amendments, after the bill had been
reported to the House. This was an
old parliamentary trick frequently re-
sorted to years ago,
Many amendments were offered TO
the bond feature of the bill, ranging
| from n proposition for the substitute
! of an income tax provision, to an au-
| thorization for an issue of $50 million
| dollars of greenbacks. But all were
voted down. At the last minute the
| Democrats decided to offer the motion
to recommit, with Instructions to re-
port back the income tax proposition
| as an amendment to the bill, instead
Of as a substitute for the bond propo-
| sition. This was due to the fact that a
number of Democrats declined to vote
to strike out the bond provision, The
motion was defeated, 134 to 173 Four
Republicans voted with the Democrats
and Populists on this vote. But on
the final passage of the bill (which
was carried. 1S1 to 13D. the Demo-
Gratis and Populists. with six excep-
tions, voted solidly against the bill.
