the dynasty If the fight is kept up the
dynasty may perhaps be saved.
Some Possibilities.
The financial people are suggesting the
possibility that Spain may be intending
to allow Cuba and Porto Rico to slip
out of her grasp but still to keep up the
light. The situation in this case would
have several unpleasant possibilities. If
Spain would not surrender when her pos
sessions were lost, the United States could
not stop at that point with any safety to
itself. The entire Spanish feet would re-
main unhurt with the exception of the
vessels that went TO the bottom of Ma
Mia This feet might sweep down on the
American coast at any time if the United
States should for a moment cease it's
vigilance. This indefinite continuance of
hostiiities would be intolerable to this
country with its damage to commercial
interests and constant menace.
There would always. too, be the guerrilla
sea warfare possible to Spain. 1t would
be unsafe to send an American ship
across the ocean if Spain should give her
whole attention to this plan of preying
on its commerce.
If such should be the position of affairs
after Cuba Is taken there will be but one
way to end it. The American fleet or a

waiting for Spain to do So The campaign
on the other side would be much more
difficult. Spain would also be able to take
full advantage of the best harbor and
coast defenses she has. There can be no
doubt whatever that intrenched within
the protection of modern batteries her
fleet could make great fight.
The National Fencibles, through their
captain Charles Domer, has made an
earnest appeal to their friends. and they
are legion, 10 lend them their assistance in
getting to the front as quickly as possible.
The aid asked for is not money. nor is
( it words of praise. but men, solid men.
The company has now only about
fifty men who can meet the exacting re-
quirements of the recruiting officer and is
very anxious to enroll the required num-
ber as soon as possible There viii be
several additions to the membership of the
Fencibles today, but there will be more
wanted.

Spaniards Drive n Man From Santi-

New York May 1.-THE Norwegian fruit
steamer Herald. which arrived here to-
day from Port Antonio, reported that on
May I, when off San Salvador, she passed
a United States cruiser, which her cap
tain believed to be either the New York
or Paris, probably the latter, now known
as the Harvard.
On board the Herald were DR.. De Arzo
and wife, of Santiago de Cuba, who were
compelled 10 flee to Jamaica during the
recent exodus of Americans from that
city
The doctor, for some time previous to
leaving Santiago, assisted United States
Consul Hyatt in distributing relief to the
reconcentrados. He incurred the displeas-
ure of the Spanish authorities for this
reason, and was Obliged To leave the city
on the German steamer Romus for Port
Antonio.
Consul Hyatt still remains at Port An

they went at subcaliber practice and kept
that up till 4 o'clock this afternoon. The
New Orleans had a lot of practice with
her one-pounders.
The officers of the ships and particularly
Commodore Schley are much pleased with
the armament of the new cruiser. Her
crew have attained remarkable proficiency
in craftsmanship. Yesterday they shot
away target, and today they filed an
other full of holes.
The Brooklyn made the star perform
ance. however. What was left of a target

BOND SCHEME CHANGED.
Amount Reduced to Three Hundred
Million in Committee.

The war revenue measure viii probably be re-
ported to the Senate today. The Democratic
amendments were offered yesterday and agreed
to by a majority vote, that majority being secur
ed through the aid of Mr.. Jones of Nevada.
Prior to this some very important amendments
were offered TO the bond feature by the Republi-
cans and this amendment assumed more import
ance by reason of the fact that the action OF the
committee in this respect will, without doubt,
be the action of the Senate.
The $500, ,0000 900 of bonds authorized in the
House bill was reduced to $500 0O0, 900, with a
proyiso that it shall only be used for war pur-
poses, and that of it shall be used until
one-half of the s1OO,OOO,OOo of certificates au-
thorized to be issued have been exhausted These
bonds are to be sold at par and the smallest
bidders are to be cared for before the large bid
ders are. This provision is to prevent the bank
ing houses from securing all the bonds that may
be issued. The bill is to take effect the day
after its passage
The bill will probably be reported this after
noon, and will lie on the table until Monday,
when it will be called up for consideration.
