THEY HAVE NO GUMS
Troops Willing to Go to the Front Are
DELAYED

CHICKAMAUGA NATIONAL PARK,
Ca, June 14.-It is stated that orders were
received from the department today that
fifteen of the best equipped regiments In
Brookes army be designated to move for
the front. 1t is understood that fifteen Of
the regiments are to be taken from the camp
to make up the expedition which will go to
Porto Rico. No information would be given
out at General Brooke's headquarters as to
which regiments would be selected for the
expedition, very few being sufficiently
equipped at this time for actual service.
Captain Rockwell of the ordnance depart
ment stated today, however that he had re-
ceived notice that rifles and other equip
ments needed were on the way to this point
sufficient to fit out twenty regiments, and
he expects the consignment will begin ar
irving by Thursday.
Hamilton Paul, private, Company H,
Sixth Indiana regiment, died suddenly this
morning of congestion of the brain.
Corporal Ralph r. Warden, Company B,

BRAVE BOY BLUE VISITS HAIR
BoR OF SANTIAGO
Sees All Cervera's Ships and Minutely
Describes Them-A Dangerous
Mission

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE last ling
ering doubt that may have existed as to
the presence of Cervera's fleet in it's en-
tirety in Santiago harbor, was not removed
until Admiral SIMPSONS dispatch reached
the Navy Department last night. Up to
that time information as to the number and
character Of the vessels lying in the har-
Dor, shielded from observation by the hills,
had been obtained through Cuban sources
supplemented by such glimpses as could
be obtained by the naval officers from tho
outside entrance. Now, however, accord
ing to Lieutenant Blue, the ships have
been actually seen by an American officer.
counted and inspected from points of
vantage, afforded by the big hills sur
rounding the harbor. The officials here
are full of praise for Lieutenant Blues
achievement. Victor Blue has been long
known in the navy as an enterprising and
daring young officer, but it required
good deal of sustained courage for him to
go ashore in hostile country and alone
make this reconnaissance. He is in the
eye of military law nothing more or less
than spy, and had he been captured by
the Spaniards, he would have been tried
by a drumhead court-martial and ex-
ecuted.
Considering the fact that the marines
ght at Guantanamo Saturday night was
really the first engagement of the war on
shore, Admiral SIMPSONS reference to the
affair in his dispatch posted this morning
was remarkably brief. Hence it is infer
red that perhaps too much Importance has
been attached to it by the public. The ac-

WAR REVENUE ACT
LIST OF ARTICLES THAT ARE TO
BE TAXED AT ONCE
The Tax on Tea acknowledgements
Sent Out Regarding the New
Bond Issue

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE officials
of the treasury department were busily en-
gagged today in the preparation of circular
letters to customs and internal revenue coll
lectors, carrying into effect the provisions
Of the war revenue act, signed by the pres
ident yesterday. In the internal revenue
bureau the only schedules which go into
immediate effect are those relating to to-
bacco. snuff. cigarettes and beer. A cir
cular was sent today to collectors of IN
ternal revenue, stating that until new
stamps could be provided they could make
use of the old stamps, but requiring them
to imprint by use of rubber stencil the
words, Under the act of 1885," The only
sections Of the new bill which relate to
customs are those levying tax of 10 cents
a pound on all teas imported into this coun-
try and the entry tax on imported goods.
This last provision, however, does not go
into operation until July next.
Acting on the advice Of the solicitor of the
treasury, the ruling of the department hold
ing that the tax on tea went into effect at
305 p. m. yesterday, the time the act was
signed by the president, has been modified.
Under new ruling issued today the tax
of 10 cents pound will be levied on teas
which reached the port Of first arrival after
Monday, June 10. at midnight.
The work of sending out circulars to the
public regarding the new popular loan of
$500, O0O, 900 is practically completed. Already
large number OF applications for the new
bonds have been received, among them sew
eral for considerable amounts, from resi-
dents of this city. Most of them, however,
were irregular. inasmuch as the appica-
tions were not made on the blanks provided
for the purpose. These will be returned to
the senders, together with proper blanks to-
be filled out and returned. The indications
now are that the loan will be largely over
subscribed.

DEMOCRATS IN CAUCUS
DECIDE AGAINST ANNEXATION
OF HAWAII
None Of the Members Present Were
Bound by the Resolutions Except
as Advisory

Q WASHINGTON, June 14.-At .
. caucus of the house held Immediately .
Q after the recess of the house was .
. taken, resolutions were adopted de- Q
. claring the sense of the Democrats of .
the house to be opposed to Hawaiian .
Q annexation, as a consummation that .
. would prove injurious to the interests .
Q Of the United States and contrary to .
. the long-estabiished and generally .
recognized policy of the government. .
. The action was taken after one hour .
. had been consumed in discussing the q
. ACCESSIBILITY of adopting any resolu- Z
tions upon the proposition of annexa- q
. ton. Z
Mr.. Bailey of Texas, Mr.. King of Z
. Utah, Mr.. Williams of Mississippi and 9
. Mr.. Dinsmore of Arkansas were the Z
. prominent speakers in advocacy of Q
caucus action, and Mr.. Sulzer Of New .
York, Mr.. Cochran of Missouri and Mr.. .
. De Vries of California led in OPPOSE Z
ton. Prior to the caucus there was a .
. likelihood of several Democrats favor Z
. ing annexation declining to go into the Q
caucus, fearing lest they might be .
placed in a situation that would re- Q
. quire their votes to be cast in accord .
. ance with the caucus action and con- .
. trary to their convictions. All finally .
. entered the caucus, however, upon the .
. distinct understanding that the action .
. to be taken would be advisory rather .
. than mandatory, and that no Demo- .
. crat should be bound by the resolu- .
. tons. .
The resolutions were adopted by q
vote Of 81 to II. AS to the effect Of eau .
. Gus action the Democratic advocates .
of annexation expressed the opinion Q
. that some votes would be lost. Prior Z
. to the caucus 1t was claimed that two Q
. thirds would vote for annexation, but .
. now It ia believed one-fourth will more .
nearly represent the Democratic vote .
. in support Of the resolutions. .

TIE PHILIPPINE INSURGENTS
Steadily Advancing on Manila-City
Crowded With Wounded

LONDON, June 15.-The Shanghai corre-
spondent Of the Daily Telegraph, forward
ing advices he has received from Manila up
to June Sth, says:
On June 5th the insurgents forced the
passage of the Zapote river and captured
Las Panas and Pariniki. Since then and
up to the time my advices left Manila the
fighting had been continuous and the Span
iards were being gradually driven in.
The fall of the city seems imminent before
the arrival of the American forces. Manila
is absolutely incapable Of resisting bonn
bardment. The defenders of the city have
suffered severely from the incessant at
tacks and from want of food and rest. The
hospitals and churches are crowded with
the wounded.
