Boat Was Taking SOundlngS In the
HarhOr.
SPANISH CUNBOATS SEEN.
Craft Alleged TO Have Rugged
Shore and Made No Attack.

Copyright, 1898. by the Associated Press,
3 On Board the Associated Press Dispatch
Boat Dauntless, Matanzas, Island Of Gu
ba, via Key West April 25, 7:42 a. m.-The
United States torpedo boat Foote Lieut..
w. l.. Rodgers, commanding, has the hon
or of having been the target for the first
shots fired by the Spanlards at the Ameri-
can flag during the war just begun.
The firing occurred between 5 and G
o'clock on Saturday afternoon while the
torpedo boat was taking soundings in the
harbor of Matanzas.
She was within 200 or 300 yards of the
shore. Suddenly a Spanish masked bat
terry on the east side of the harbor, and
not very far distant from the Foote, fired
three shots at the torpedo boat. They all
went wide of the mark, and the Foote re-
turned leisurely to the Cincinnati. where
she reported the result OF her soundings
and then announced she had been fired
upon.
The Cincinnati was anxious to steam in
stantly and reduce the Spanish batteries,
but she was not permitted to do so.
NO captures are reported by the. fleet of
Matanzas.
1t was alleged that two Spanish gun
boats were seen inshore, but the report
could not be verified.

WAR REVENUE TARIFF BILL.
Measure to BE Laid Before the Full
Committee To-day.

Measure to BE Laid Before the Full
Committee To-day.
Washington. April 25.-The war revenue
tariff bill was not reported TO the House to-
day, but will be tomorrow. At the meet
ing of the ways and means committee this
morning. when the bill framed by the Re-
pubicans was formally presented for con-
sideration, the Democrats protested earn
estly against programme that would pre-
vent them from examining It's provisions
thoroughly before 1t was reported to the
House. They also asked for an oppor-
tunity to offer amendments In committee.
The Republican members of the COM
mttee had a conference this afternoon, as
a result of which Chairman Dingley, at
late hour, reintroduced his war revenue
bill with number of important amend
ments framed to meet objections.
The amended bill Is likely to be laid be-
fore the full committee tomorrow.
There are two new features One which
is made section rs, gives authority for the
taxed parties and concerns TO meet the in
creased rates.
The amended bill imposes a tax on tele-
phone messages, as follows: For thirty
miles or more, where the charge does not
exceed % cents, 1 cent; where charge ex-
ceeds 25 cents and does not exceed $1.50,
? cents; from 81 to 50, 5 cents. and charge
exceeding s., 10 cents. Official messages
of the United States government are ex-
empt from this tax, as well as that on tele-
graph messages.
For the expenses of assessment and col
lection Of these taxes 100000, or so much
thereof as is necessary, is appropriated
for the employment OF such deputy col
lectors and other employees in the several
collection districts Of the United States
as may be necessary
The exemption of bonds, debentures, or
certificates of indebtedness, issued by the
federal, state. county, ~sn and municipal
corporations from the stamp taxes imposed
by the bill is extended TO include ''or other
corporation exercising the taxing power"
Punishment for failure to require an ad-
hesive duty stamp on any dispatches or
messages is waved in the case of press
news dispatches
Bank certificates Of deposit not drawing
interest are taxed 2 cents, and those draw
ing interest 8 cents.
There are many other minor changes.
The Democratic members of the commit
tee have a substitute proposition for the
bond issue, which is briefly as follows: To
coin $50,000000 of the seigniorage now in
the treasury into standard silver dollars
to issue $50,000,0o0 of certificates Of indebt-
edness at d low rate of interest and to
institute an income tax of per cent on
all incomes over $1,000. While this latter
clause does not present any new feature
by which conflict with the decision with
the Supreme Court is averted, the MEM
bers profess a belief that if the measure
becomes law the Supreme Court could
be brought to reverse its previous decis-
ion.
Mr.. McMillin is entrusted with the
drawing up of the income tax provision.

The selection of Mr.. Moore, who is now
professor of international law at Columbia
University, New York, 90 succeed the lat
ter, was warmly welcomed by all the state
department employees. Appointed origi-
nally from Delaware to the state depart-
ment by Mr.. Bayard, when the latter was
secretary, Mr.. Moore, by sheer merit and
ability, worked his way to the place of
second assistant secretary and In that ca
pacity he served under several administra-
tons without regard to political changes.
lie resigned to accept the chair of inter-
D. tional law at Columbia University about
three years ago, and ii is believed that his
present appointment is only temporary,
owing to his indisposition to permanently
sever his connections with the Columbia
University.
Mr.. Moore is an authority on certain
branches of International law, and his Sc
lection will do much to strengthen the
state department. in the present emergency.
The officials OF the department, with the
assistance Of the Attorney General, have
which win be issued in a day or two, this
Time treating of prizes and defining the
conditions and time when such seizures
might be made, II is believed that the
protest and suggestions coming from for
e'sn embassies and legations here have led
the department TO define once for all its
position In the matter.
A prize commissioner was appointed this
afternoon in the person of Commander
John Wyne, a retired naval officer. He
