WASHINGTON, April 26
The Ways and Means Committee
continued its work on the war rev.
enue measure to-day. Yesterday the
Democrats presented some amend
ments and changes, the most iInpor-
tant being to insert an income tax,
to add tax on railroad tickets and to
provide a sinking fund for the re-
demption of bonds. The Democratic
members of the committee were given
until to-day to get their amendments
into shape. The bill was reported to
the House this afternoon.
William G.. Day, who was selected
to succeed Secretary of State Sher-
man, according to HERALD dispatches
yesterday, was confirmed by the Sen
ate today. John b. Moore, Professor
of International Law at Columbia
University, was also named as Mr..
Days successor as First Assistant Sec
retary.
nave
the State Department that neutrality
has been proclaimed.
The naval department has made an
important change in the strategical
plan arranged for the North Atlantic
squadron now at Cuba. It's execution
however, will depend on the move
ments of the Spanish squadron now
at Cape de Verde islands.
The new arrangement provides for
the withdrawal from the blockading
squadron of the six armor- clads and
their concentration at some central
point on the Atlantic coast, from
which they would be enabled to make
quick movement for the protection
Of Northern cities or rejoin the other
vessels in the West Indies. The plan
of the Spanish fleet is not unlikely to
proceed to New York, Boston, or
some other important place for the
purpose Of tombardment, in the hope
that this Government will not be able
to send sufficient force to meet it
before great damage has been in
! fiicted.
The vessels which would be with
drawn to carry this plan into effect
are the armored cruiser New York,
Admiral Simpsons flagship the bat
tleships Iowa and Indiana and the
coast defence monitors Puritan, Ter
ror and Amphitrite.
In order that the navy department
may be informed as to the probable
destination of the Spanish fleet, a
number of swift cruisers, including
the Columbia and Minneapolis and
the four American liners, will scouT
the sea for hundreds of miles beyond
the American coast on the lookout
for the enemy. If they should sight
the Spanish vessels they will show a
clean pair of heels and make for the
nearest American port and inform
the navy department Of the approach
of the enemy.
There is every reason to believe
that the first naval battle of the wal
will be fought in Philippine waters
before the end of the week. Three
Of the American vessels left Hong
Kong Sunday and three others yes
terday. They willmove on Manila il
a day or two. Spain has four cruiser,
and five gunboats at Manila, and si1
gunboats at the southern extremity
OF the Philippine islands.
1t is now believed that 5000 reg
ulars, under command of Genera
Shafter, will be landed at Cuba within
a week, to establish a base to lane
food and supplies for the reconcen
trados, and to open communication
with Gomez,

THE BAlQUlRl PIER.

Samuel Artingstall, It's Designer, Tells
How 1t Came to Be Built.
The man who designed the now ia
nous iron pier at Baiquiri,, upon which
the great siege guns that are soon to be
trained upon the forts of Santiago de
Cuba are being landed, was Samuel G.
Artingstall, city engineer of Chicago
during the administration of John p.
Hopkins. In 1890 j. H. Clutches, repre-
senting the Spanish American Iron
company of Santiago de Cuba, sent re-
quest for preliminary specifications for
an iron pier of great sustaining power
to be built at Baiquiri. Artingstall sent
the desired specifications, and the re-
suit was the pier which is now being
used by the troops in landing from their
transports. The pier was built to with
stand the great waves which the hurri
canes often raise on the Caribbean sea-
Away out from the shore is the pier
proper, an everlasting structure of piles,
steel cement, concrete and iron Gals
sons. Then this artificial island is con
nected with the land by powerful
iron bridge of trestlework construction.
Upon the bridge there is turntable, so
that for the uses to which it is now be-
ing put it's construction is admirable.
In speaking of his work Artingstall
said:
THAT pier is strong enough for the
heaviest of siege guns The foundations
are solid buttresses, and the superstruc-
ture is just as strong. Above the pier
there is machinery for the loading of
ore into ships, and this can now be used
to good advantage by General Shafter.
LIZ fact, the government could not have
planned pier for war purposes which
would meet all its requirements any
better than this. st. Louis Globe

GUAM TIE FORBIDDEN.
South Sea Port For Which Many Ships
Clear, but Where None Arrives.


Clear, but Where None Arrives.
If the developments of war bring into
the possession of the United States the
Spanish islands of the Ladrones, just TO
the eastward of the Philippines. the end
will arrive for maritime fiction long
held in honor in all ports of Asia and
Australia Every year thousands of ves-
sells clear at custom houses for Guam,
yet none ever goes there-none, in fact,
ever meant to go there. Guam has al
ways seemed such a legal fiction that
few have ever taken thought that there
is such place, and fewer yet have in
vestigated the reason why it is mari
time Tom Tiddlers ground
When a ship clears for certain place,
it must go to that place by the shortest
route of sailing, gale and wreck except
ed, and any failure calls for an explana-
ton Yet there often arise cases where
it is of advantage not TO declare the port
of destination. 1t may be that thus
skipper may avoid being bothered with
mail or it may be that business rivalry
seeks to conceal some point Of good
trade. In such cases the vessel clears
for Guam and sails away to its secret
destination. Although there is q Guam
upon the charts, the vessels which have
cleared for it never lay a course in its
direction, and the law is none the less
satisfied. How it is possible that Guam
can be such port is based on the old
traditions Of Spanish exclusiveness in
the Indies, both east and west. 1t has
only been as result of superior force
that the Spaniards have opened the In
dies to trade and this century was well
advanced before the last of the old re-
strictions was removed. BY some chance
the Ladrones were not included, and in
accordance with the laws of the Indies
every vessel calling there without leave
is forfeited. The penalty of the law has
not been exacted for many years, but
the existence of the law has made posi-
BILE the legal fiction of clearing for
Guam. AS soon as the American forces
take possession of this archipelago the
laws of the Indies will cease to have ef-
feet, and Guam will lose its peculiar
