o'clock this morning. the navy depart.

dorc Schley announcing definitely that
he had located Admiral Ccrvcra's Cape
Verde squadron in the bay Of Santiago
de Cuba. The Commodore states that
he has seen and recognized the vessels
Of the Spanish fleet.
IL is not believed that Admiral Ger.

himself. as such n course would surely
result in the destruction Of his vessels
and the loss of many lives precious tc

SAN FRANCISCO. May 2s.-Therc was
much rejoicing in the camp Of the

terday. Each man was paid 81. The
money was appropriated by the Ne
braska legislature and does not con-
fict with the money due from Uncle

The plight of the Kansas volunteers
was much relieved by the action OF
business men who visited merchants
handling different lines of goods, sccur-
ing donations of shoes, socks, clothing
and other ncccssarics for the men from
Kansas, who have needed these articles
more than any other regiment that has
come here. Before coming to this city,
the kansans served for some time in

shoes became worn ont and they did
not have an opportunity to replace

NO SERIOUS DIVISION IN PARTY

Washington, December 10-The demo-
Gratis of the house of representatives held
a caucus tonight on the question coming
over from the last session as to the bind
ing force of caucus action. The meeting
was held in the hall of the house of rep
resentatives at p. IN. and of the 126 men,
bers on the roll of the house, eighty-six
were present. Among those present were
Representatives Bailey, of Texas, Richard
son, of Tennessee; DeArmond and Bland,
of Missouri; Wheeler, of Alabama; Allen
of Mississippi; McRae, of Arkansas and
Sayers, of Texas. Representatives McMil-
lin, of Tennessee, and Bankhead, of Ala
bama, were not among those present. Tie
meeting was devoid of any personal or SEN
sational features and was devoted to brief
discussion of the wisdom of making caucus
action binding. A resolution to this effect
had been introduced by Mr.. Bailey, and this
was pending with an amendment by Mr.
McRae. The main interest centered in the
ability of Bailey and his friends to pass the
resolution.
AT the outset Mr. DeArmond made a
point of order against the regularity of
the resolution, but Chairman Richardson
did not sustain the point.
In order to test the strength of the
Bailey forces Mr.. Clardy, of Kentucky,
moved to reconsider the vote by which the
resolution had been agreed to at the last
session. The motion was tabled, 81 to l3,
thus establishing that the advocates of the
resolution had a clear majority.
The resolutions were then adopted with
out division. They are as follows:
The Resolutions
Resolved, That hereafter the action of
a democratic caucus shall be binding upon
all who participate in it's proceedings, pro-
vid ng that no member shall be required to
vote for any bill which he may deem un-
constitutional and provided further that in
all matters except the nomination of Off
GERS and questions of procedure, no decis on
shall be binding unless made by two
thirds of those voting.
Resolved, That while acting in con-
formity to the pr nciplcs declared by the
last national democratic convention and the
constitution of the United States the drn-
ocrats In each state and each congressional
district have a right to determine for them
selves in their own locality what their pol
icy shall be; to make platforms for, ac-
cept pledges from their candidates ard TO
instruct their members of congress, and
the full exercise of such right of local party
self-government should in all cases be re-
spected by democratic coagre ssional cau-
cusses.'
Beyond the adoption Of the foregoing no
action was taken and at Q o'clock the eau
Gus adjourned.
Mr.. Bailey said after the caucus:
II have no desire to discuss the acton
of the caucus 1urthe:- than 20 say thai /.
must be now pta'l to all thinking men that
