WHAT LONDON THINKS.
The American Attack on the Forts of
 Santiago De Cuba.

[Copyright, 1898, The Associated Press.1
 London, June 2.-Amid the conflicting accounts of what has happened at Sam tiago de Cuba, it appears certain that there were two separate incidents-the Spanish torpedo attempt Sunday night and the American bombardment or re- connoissance Tuesday afternoon. Prob ably neither will turn out of great im- portance except as proving that the entrance to the harbor is better pro- tected by mines and guns than might have been anticipated from Admiral Dewey's experience at Manila. It is believed that this is all Admiral Samp- son desired to discover and that the Spanish senate had little to exult over. Admiral Cervera is expected to repeat the torpedo boat attempts, with a view of keeping the American squadron as distant as possible in order to facilitate his escape. Unless he can do this, the Americans are almost certain eventu- ally to capture the three or four Span ish cruisers now known to be inside Santiago.
 The anxiety the Spaniards betray in
 
 publishing reports as to evolutions of a squadron outside Cadiz leads to the surmise that Admiral Camara is all ready on the way. This, as the Daily News suggests, may explain Admiral Cervera's torpedo movement on Sun day and also Commodore Schley's tar dy action. Therefore" as the Daily News argues, If Admiral Camara is | nearing Cuba, another complication has arisen, and Admiral Sampson will have | to take care to prevent him joining | Cervera.''
 The Daily News also suggests that l Commodore Schley's bombardment may | have covered counter-mining opera tions with a view of forcing the chan mel and that if his vessels were dam aged a fresh attempt will probably be | Drenarad

THE HAWAIIAN RESOLUTIONS.
Understanding That They Will be Con-
 sidered in House Next Week.

Washington, June 1.-An understand ing was reached to-day whereby the Hawaiian resolutions will be considered in the house next week. They are to be taken up under a special rule that will be reported as soon as the revenue bill has passed, the senate or has reach ed point where the passage of the resolution of anexation in the house cannot delay the disposal of the reve- nue measure. The understanding was arrived at after persistent endeavors upon the part of annexationists, the speaker, who has led so far in prevent ing consideration, being convinced that large majority of the republican rep resentatives favored action upon an- nexation before adjournment. This fact, the desire of the president and this wish of a majority of republican senators making a party demand, re- suited in an agreement that the house should be given the opportunity to pass the resolutions. There will be no cau- caus of republicans. A request for a call has been several days in the hands of Chairman Grosvenor but when seen tonight he said: You can say that there will be no caucus called and no necessity for one.'

YICE-PRESTDENT CAPoTE
Says There Are 10000 Cuban Soldiers in
 Santiago Province.

Philadelphia, June 1.--Vice President Capote of the Cuban republic arrived here to-day and in an interview with an Associated Press reporter said that he and his party left Cuba in an open boat. After being on the water forty hours they reached Falmouth, Jamaica From there they went to Kingston and embarked on the Belvidere. Senor Capote refused to state his mission to this country except that he carried im- portant papers from the Cuban capital to the junta in this country.
 The vice president said that the Cu- ban army was not in the best of condi- tion for effective cooperation with the American army. The Cubans were armed with Mauser rifles, most of which had been captured from the Spaniards. The Cuban army, however, was short of ammunition, but it was accustomed to fight with little ammuni- tion, and it would fight anyhow. Dr. Capote said that at present there were 10000 Cuban soldiers in the province of Santiago, under the command of Gen. eral Garcia. They were scattered throughout the province, and were only about fifteen or twenty miles from Santiago City, in front of which Ad- miral Cervera's fleet is now supposed to be. As to the number of Spanish sol- diers in the city, he could not say, but thought there were about 5000 of them, concentrated there.

RECIPROCITY WITH FRANCE. Treaty Now in Effect President Faure's
 Significant Words.

Washington, June 1.-The reciprocity arrangement between the United States and France went into effect to-day and orders were issued to all customs off cials in this country to make the tariff reductions in accordance with the agreement. Similar instructions were given by the French authorities, so that goods now in transit will receive the benefit of the reduced duty. The French embassy has been informed that President Faure mentioned this arrangement in a speech made at St. Etienne yesterday, saying that it was the best proof of the good under standing existing between the govern ments of the two countries" It is said that while the agreement is based on the strictest reciprocity principles yet on a calculation of imports of 1897 it appears that the concessions granted by the United States to France amount to 1.42 per cent. of the total revenue paid by French imports while the con- sessions made by France to the United States show a reduction of 2.58 per cent. of the amount of revenue paid by Unit ed States imports into France.

DEWEY AND FRINGE HENRY.
How the Latter Slighted America ant
 Finally ApoIogized.

Chicago, June 1.-Charles N. Post, who has just returned from an ex- tended tour of the Orient met Admiral Dewey in Hong Kong March 25. MT. Post tells of social passage at arms between Dewey and Prince Henry, brother of Emperor William, com manding the German squadron at Hong Kong. Prince Henry, immediate ly after his arrival at Hong Kong gave banquet to the higher officers of the other fleets, among whom was Rear Admiral Dewey. At the feast the prince proposed a toast to his own country, then to Great Britain, then to all the other great powers except the United States. Finally, just before the dinner was over, the royal host pro- posed a toast to this country
 When Rear Admiral Dewey saw that apparently his country was to be sighted he left the banquet without ceremony. The next day representa- tive of Prince Henry sent roundabout apology to the American commander. Dewey sent word back to the emper- or's brother that he would accept noth- ing but a written or personal apology from the prince. The latter then call ed upon Dewey and apologized, saying that in the confusion of the dinner he the prince, thoughtlessly neglected to put the American toast in it's proper

 Sensation.
 Madrid, June IS D. m.-An article, signed by Senor Emilio Castelar, the distinguished republican statesman, which recently appeared in the Petite Revue Internacionale, and which has been reproduced in several Spanish pa- pers that are being prosecuted for the reproduction, has caused great sen sation. Senor Castelar, attacks the queen regent, representing her with be- ing a foreigner and unpopular and with interfering unjustifiably in political af- fairs. He compares her present posi- ton with that of Queen Marie Antoinette on the eve of the before the senate to-day, Duke DeRoca demanding the prosecution of Castelar,, and other senators expressed In violent terms their indignation at Senor Cas- telar's conduct.
 Senor Capeedon said that the matter had already been placed before the law officers. Marshal De Campos described Senor Castelar's conduct as "idiotic,'' D and called upon the government to act energetically, declaring that political immunity must not be allowed to de- generate into impunity. He said that he feared the chamber of deputies might refuse to authorize a prosecu- ton.

FRANCE AND SPAIN.
The London Chronicle Speaks of a
 Secret Arrangement.

London, June 1.-The Daily Chronicle thinks the general situation is grave and says: "The rumors of a secret ar- rangement between France and Spain continue with singular persistence and the reports of French designs upon the Canary Islands and Ceuta are gather ing strength. In commercial circles it is perfectly we'll understood that Great Britain will regard Frances taking the Canaries or Ceuta as an unfriendly act and also that if France helps Spain, public opinion here will demand that we assist America.
 The Pail Mall Gazette devotes much space to the Anglo-American relations and while disawoving it's belief that any treaty or alliance exists says: 'There will be something better-the recognition of our unities and the rap- idly consolidating sense of common in- terests and brotherliness. Henceforth, Great Britain and America will ap- proach these things in the right spirit, and the Anglo-Saxon solidity will be- come more and more force to be reckoned with"

MENOCAL FOUND GUILTY.
Naval Civil Engineer Who Supervised
 Building of Drydock Was Careless.

Washington, June 1.-L1eutenant Laucheimer, judge advocate of the Menocal court-martial, brought the proceedings of the court to Washing ton to-day and laid them before Secre- tary Long. The court found A. G. Menocal, civil engineer. guilty of neg feet and carelessness, and sentenced him to suspension from duty on fur tough pay for three years, but united in strong recommendation for elem ency. The report has not yet been act ed. The charges made were of defec- tive construction of the New York dry dock.
 The reasons set out by the court martial for requesting the exercise of clemency were that the officer had been absent very much from the dock during it's construction on account of illness; that the contract was imperfect in con- struction; that he had insufficient as- sistance in inspection, and finally that all of the commanding officers under whom he had served united in testify ing to his industry and ability.

engagement off Santiago, At the out set there was complete skepticism and a disposition to treat the reported ac- tion as myth. Gradually as the day advanced the corroborative evidence coming from many headquarters, in- cluding the official announcements from Havana and Madrid, led the officials to concede that some engagement had taken place, although they did not re- gard it as a serious one. No bulletins were issued by the department during the day. and at the close of office hours it was stated that no dispatches from Commodore Schley had been received during the day. There is reason to be- lieve, however, that the department re- ceived indirect advices through the state department, possibly not bearing out the detailed press dispatches, but sufficient to indicate that an engage ment of some kind had occurred at San- tiago.
 The impression obtained during the afternoon that in the execution of the general instructions to all United States naval commanders on the Gu ban coast to prevent the construction or strengthening of batteries by the Spaniards, Commodore Schley, observ- ing work of this kind going on at Mor- TO Castle, had drawn his fleet up close enough to stop it. It is not believed that he made any real attempt to en- ter the harbor, although it is conceiva- ble that while engaged in shelling the shore batteries, finding the Cristobal Colon in range, he could not resist the tom rata tifaaa ta ha,.

TO OBSERVE OPERATIONS.
Foreign Naval and Military Attaches Leave Washing ton British First.

Washington, June 1.---An additional evidence that the actual forward move- ment of the army any navy has begun is given in the action of the foreign naval and military observers. They have been sojourning leisurely in Washington for some time, but within the last week all of them have started for Florida. The British naval and military attaches were the first to leave, and now they have been follow- ed by the German, Austrian, Russian, Swedish and Norwegian and Japan ese observers. The government of Nor- way and Sweden have six military and naval experts to observe various branches of the warfare. They in- clude Commanders Anderson, Dahlgren and Gade and Lieutenant Gechnuyden, of the navy, and Captain Wester and Stang of the army. These officers left for Tampa last night.

PLAN OF CAMPAIGN,
What Appears to be in Nature of an
 Official Statement.

Official Statements
 Washington, June 1.-For the first time since the beginning of hostilities nature of an official statement of the plan of campaign of the United States government This is confirmed in a letter of Secretary Alger to the speaker of the house transmitting certain rec concentrations and statements of Gen. eral Ludlow, which disclosed the pur- pose of the war department to send TO- 900 men to Cuba, 10000 to start at once and the remainder just as soon as they can be made ready for departure. Then there was an estimate for establishing electrical communications in connection with the army 'in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines" showing for the first time officially an implied intention on the part of the government to land troops in Porto Rico.
 Of course all these movements have been anticipated by the press, but nev- ertheless a strong element of doubt eX- isted, and therefore the official state-
 
 ment of the governments purposes, made even in this indirect fashion, ere ated a profound sensation here. Troops are to go together to Cuba and Porto Rico and pass into the military occu- patton of the islands. A great deal of interest is attached to an order issued to-day providing for the organization of the 75,000 additional volunteers call ed for. The order officially established the statement heretofore made in these dispatches that a large proportion of the new men are to be used to fill up the existing regiments of volunteers, which are in most cases deficient in numbers. It is to be presumed from to-day's order that the volunteer regi- ments collected under the first call will be detained until they are filled up in this fashion, so that the order has some bearing upon the plan of campaign.

GUNBOAT TEMERARIO.
To Remain Under Protection of Para-

 La Nacion publishes a dispatch from Madrid which says that yesterday (Tuesday) the Spanish armored cruiser Cristobol Colon put out from the har- bor of Santiago de Cuba to answer the fire of the American squadron, and that, after inf1icting damage upon an auxiliary cruiser she returned to the harbor.

SENATE'S IMPORTANT ACTION
PLACES VAR TAX ON SUGAR AND
 OIL TRUSTS.
All Other Trusts Exempted-Action the Outcome of German Amendment tn War Revenue BiIl-Senator White of California Openly Declares That He Desires to See Tax Levied on the Ameri- can Sugar Trust and Standard OH CnmDanv
cnM Sugar Company.

Washington, June 1.-Marked prog ress was made by the senate to-day towards the final disposition of the war revenue measure. The conmittee amendments on nearly sixty pages of the bill were passed upon and the sem ate nearly reached the principal ques-
 tions at issue between the contending parties. These remaining questions
 have already been discussed pretty
 thoroughly and, aside from few set
 speeches yet to be delivered, will not
 arouse probably more than desultory
 debate. The interest of the session
 centered in the action taken upon the amendment of MT. Gogman, dem., of
 Maryland, levying a tax of one-quar-
 ter of one per cent. upon the gross re-
 ceipts of all corporations doing a busi-
 ness exceeding $250,000 a year. By al
 direct vote upon 1t the amendment was rejected, 27 to 34. MT. Pettigrew, pop.,
 of South Dakota, offered the German
 amendment with the clause containing
 the $250.000 exemption stricken out, but
 it was defated by vote of 25 to 37.
 MT. White, den., of California, then
 proposed the German amendment SO modified that it levies a, tax of one quarter of one per cent. upon all cor
 porations engaged in the refining of sugar or petroleum having gross re- ceipts of over $250,000. All other cor porations were eliminated under the amendment. The California senator explained that he desired to see tax levied on the American Sugar trust and the Standard Oil company The amendment prevailed by a vote of 33 to 26. It was supported by twenty two democrats, four republicans, five popu- lists and two silver republicans, and op-
 posed by twenty-four republicans and
 two democrats.
 Speeches were made by MT. Chandler, l rep, of New Hampshire, MT. Hoar, rep, of Massachusetts, and MT. Bate, dem., of Tennessee. MT. Chandler de- voted almost his entire time to a dis | cussion of the financial question, ad- vocating the issue of bonds and the l coinage of the silver seigniorage and | opposing the issue of legal tender notes. MT. Hoar attacked some of the state-A
 ments made by MT. Chandler. MT. Bate dealt with the general provisions of l the bill from a. democratic Standpoint.

Will Go to New London Next Sunday
 Morning.
 The Yale varsity crew will in all probability go to New London on Sun day morning. This is several days sooner than anticipated, but those in charge have decided that it will be to the advantage of the crew to have as many days practice over the course as possible. They will go on the yacht Elinor, owned by Colonel Payne of New York city, uncle of Captain Payne Whitney, leaving about 9 o'clock. Yes- terday afternoon the men took a short sail on the yacht, which is now in the harbor. Stroke Williams and Wickes and Cross were not feeling well yester- day and they were not in the boat. Their illness is not serious, however, and they will be at work to-day.

The men will probably recover, al- though they were reduced almost to the condition of skeletons. Incoming vessels report numbers of icebergs along the North Atlantic shipping track, which are very dangerous to nav igation.
