THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.
Consideration of Amendments to War
Revenue Bill Nearly Completed.

Washington. d. c., May 9.-When the
Senate Finance Committee adjourned
tonight the consideration of the amend
ments to the war revenue bill had been
almost entirely completed. although there
were some puzzlng problems still un-
solved one Of which was the manner of
dealing with proprietary medicinal ar
ticles.
The committee has decided to place
license upon banks at the rate of 500
year, and upon brokers at the rate of $50
but has not yet determined whether the
professions shall be licensed or not. On
life insurance companies the rate has
been increased FIVE fold, being made 10
cents on every hundred dollars, and it is
estimated that this increase will add
about u million dollars in revenue. The
provision for an inheritance tax, and for
a tax on bills of lading were both adopt
ed as were the provisions for taxing all
dealings in futures, including bucket
shops operations.
The Democratic amendments will be
taken up tomorrow, and there is very
little doubt that they will all be adopted
rs Senator Jones, Of Nevada, has indi-
Gated his purpose of standing with the
Democrats on all the principal changes
they suggest.
it is possible that the consideration Of
the bill may be completed tomorrow, but
it is not probable.

THE popE.s POSITION.
Favors Neither Combatant, Only Wishes
for Peace.


Washington. ID. c.. May 9.-ln view
of the various conflicting stories when
have been published during the past two
weeks by the newspapers Of this country
and Of England. purporting to give the
attitude of the Pope regarding the war
existing between the United States ana
Snain. and which have asserted various
intentions of the Holy Father TO inter
est himself in behalf Of one or the other
of the conflicting nations, the Apostolic
Delegate gives to the American public
the following cabegram just received
from the Vatican with the hope that it
may put all on their guard against giving
credence To any of the rumors which
have been or may hereafter be published
concerning the position or tendency Of
the Pope and the Catholic church:

to deny such foolish talk

RUMoRs OF ENGAGEMENTS.
But Details Are Wanting More Prizes
Taken.


Taken.
Key West, Fla, May 9.-l0:20 p. M
Three separate reports of engagements
of United States warships reached here
tonight but thus far details are wanting.
One rumor is that the cruiser Mont
gomery has captured two prizes off Cape
Haytien. after sharp battle with two
Spanish gunboats. and put into st.
Nicholas slightly damaged. Another
says that the tug 0sceola. of the Mos
quito feet, was fired upon near Havana,
and the third is that three Spanish gun
boats fired upon the United States tor
pedo boat Winslow at CardenaS. but
were repulsed by the Winslow, after one
had been disabled
The Vicksburg tonight brought in a
fishing smack, the Fornandito, taken off
Havana.
The Spanish schooner Severito was
captured by the gunboat MayfOwer, off
Havana yesterday and brought in by a
prize crew this afternoon.
Up to nightfall nothing approaching
definite evidence of the blockading fleet
had reached here. The story flourishing
ut that hour was of heavy firing heard
off Havana. This was brought in by
small boats, and was as much in need Of
verification rs the others.

Discuss Movement OH Cuba and Plans
to Reinforce Dewey.
Washington, p. c.. May 9.-At today's
special Cabinet meeting the leading sub
jects of discussion were the measures
to be taken to reinforce Admiral Dewey
at Manila and the probable movement
on Cuba. AS to the former there has
been no material change in the plans.
Approximately FIVE thousand troops will
be dispatched on the City of Pekin. and
other transports The Charleston will
sact as convoy. The McCulloch has not
al ef left Mrs Bay. outside Hong Kong
harbor. where she is waiting further in
struetions to admiral Dewey. In his
cablegram received here Saturday the
Admiral made no request for troops, not
knowing the governments intentions in
regard to the occupation of the islands.
1t seems quite certain, however, that
the Government intends to make an ac-
tive campaign against the Spanish fore
es there. and Admiral Dewey viii be so
informed. 1t is not probable that the
squadron will lombard the city or en-
gage in any active work against the
Notifications there, except such ms the
Admiral may find necessary in order to
retain control OF points now in his pos
session.

of a boat of the same name as that

The description Of the party and
the boat tallies exactly with the
