WAR REVENU Els.
The Bill Believed to Be Ready to
Present as Soon as War Breaks
Ont.


Washington, April 19,-Chairman
Dingley, of the House ways and means
committee, to-day had a few minutes
conference with the President. 1t is
believed that a war revenue bill has
already been prepared even to the least
important details and will be presented
at once to the House as soon as hOstil-
tiles actually begin. Provision for a
war loan also will be made within the
next very few days. 1t is thought that
the Secretary of the Treasury will be
authorized to solicit popular subscrip-
tons to loan of probably $l00, 10000
The publich will be reached through
postmasters, who will post notices in
their offices giving all of the details
which the general public would be in
terested in knowing The subscriptions
to this loan as a rule would be made by
means of postoffice money orders or
certified checks. The same act, it is
thought, will authorize an additional
issue of 100000 900 in three per cent
coin bonds running for period of
twenty years. Although these are said
to be the main features of the PROPOSE
ton the full details have not yet been
worked out

AS - M, the Senate adjourned

- House presented most desolate
pearance when it convened at noon,
after the weary all night session.
While the journal was being read,
Mr.. Hager, (Rep., Iowa., chairman OF
the Committee on Enrolled Bills,
brought in the Cuban resolutions
which had been enrolled under his
personal direction. The Speaker i'm
mediately signed them and as soon as
the reading of the journal was con-
Guided at 12:16 p. M, he announced
his signature. There was no demon
stration. The enrolling clerk at his
side seized the resolutions and hurried
with them across the capitol.
Mr.. Grosvenor then, as a question of
personal privilege, had read at
the clerks desk an editorial
in New York paper COM
menting upon his statement in the
House on April Z, that this war will
be fought under the banner of the Re
publican administration of this govern
ment, or it will not be fought at ALL
Mr., Gro"venor explained the circum-

A SUCCESSFUL TRIAL

Newport, R. l., April 19.-The pneu-
matte gun boat Vesuvius successfully
fired a loaded shell from her guns in
Narragansett Bay To-day. She was
out all the morning and after throwing
dummy projectiles for line fire and dis
lance adjustment she closed into the
lower range of the measured mile
course" and discharged her three
guns in close succession. The first
two were apparently dummy shells,
but the third shot piowed along some
distance and then a great column OF
water was thrown into the air, which
opened umbrella-like before 1t des-
cended. The trial was pronounced
most successful.

Madrid, April 19.-T:15 p. m.-The
one absorbing topic is the prospect OF
war.
FL Heraldo de Madrid says that war

the forthcoming meeting of parliament

Ell Heraldo compares the 'indiffer-
ence Of the mass of the people to

AMERICANS WE'RE STEADY
While Spanish Fours slumped-No Chance
Now for Peace.


London, April 19.-The afternoon
newspapers here to-day unanimously
express the opinion that if President
Mckinley signs the joint resolutions
of Congress it will preclude the posi-
bility of peace. The papers also think
it probable that when the demands of
the United States are transmitted to
Spain the latter will regard them as
an act of war without waiting for fur
Their action upon the part of the United
States.
Operations on the stock exchange
here take the gloomiest view of the
crisis Securities were fat all around
to-day. and the feeling of nervousness
was enhanced by failures in connec-
ton with the Paris settlement, and
fears of further trouble there. The
features of the day were the slump in
Spanish As and the steadiness of
American securities, after the decline
at the opening of the market.

Washing ton d. c., April 19.-The
Spanish minister, Senior Polo de Ber-
nabe, has made his final preparations
for departure, and is calmly awaiting
affixed his signature to the Cuban reso-
luton, at which time the minister Will
take his leave. He had expected this ,
would come to-day, and every arrange
ment had been made with that in view.
Now that the signing is deferred until
tomorrow, it is probable that the min
lister and his staff will depart before an
other twenty-four hours pass by.
He will not move precipltately, how
ever as the transfer of the legation
archives and effects to the French
mbassy must first be accomplished,
and moreover there is felt to be no
disposition on the part of the authori-
ties here to unduly hasten the move
ments of the minister Whether the
State Department will send Senior Polo
his passports, or he will ask for them,
is felt to be an immaterial detail. He
intends to go without reference to
these formalities, and there is every
reason to believe the State Department
will afford him the protection of pass
ports and any further attentions usual
in enforced departure of a minister on
the breaking out of war. The entire
staff Of the legation will accompany
the minister
THE SPANISH LEGATION
has been the centre Of great activity
throughout to-day. The minister was
up practically all of last night, retiring
shortly before daylight this morning,
after having informed his government
of the final passage of the Cuban reso-
luton. He was again at his desk at
eminent and awaiting the next and
final move in making the resolution
effective
Although of sturdy physique the
minister showed signs of the intense
strain and anxiety put upon him dur
ing the last few days. He saw num-
Der of friends, mainly Of the diplomatic
corps, and to them expressed the view
that all hope of a peaceful settlement
appeared to be at an end, and that
Spain now left with the United States
the responsibility for war
Early this morning the large metal sign
bearing the words ''Office of the Spanish
Legation" was wrenched from its place
on the gate leading to the legation, and
carried off by vandals. The minister
made no complaint to the State Depart
ment or to the police as he has sought to
minimize the petty depredations' against
the legation, although this was the most
fragrant one committed.
The representatives of the powers Of
Europe held no meeting during the day,
nor is any meeting at present in prospect
