The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1898-05-20

Washington, May 1.-THE debate up
on the war revenue measure was begun
in the senate yesterday. The opening
statement for the committee on finance
was made by Allison, the ranking MEM
Der in the absence of Morrill, Of YER
mont. 1t was estimated that the bill, as
II came from the house of representa-
tives, would raise about $100,000,000 a
year. AS reported from the senate COM
mittee Allison estimated that 1t will
raise 1851, 497.0
/ At the conclusion of Allison's state
ment the bill was made the unfinished
business and 1t will be pressed to pas
sage as soon as possible.
The house received its first veto from
President Mckinley and voted unani-
mously to. sustain the executive. The
veto was of bill comforting upon the
court Of claims Jurisdiction in a private
claims case of long standing. The day
was given to the consideration of bills
under suspension of the rules, none Of
which was of general interest.

south coast. They could not stand for
a moment against the Spanish armored
cruisers, and yet are not fleet enough to
escape If they are sighted. Should
Sampson sight the Spanish fleet 1t is
not certain that he could engage them,
provided the Spanish admiral found it
to his interest to decline the engage
ment. The Spanish ships are faster
than anything in the American squad
ron, with the possible exception of the
flagship New York.
If Sampson should fall in with them,
however and find the Spaniards in d
fighting humor he would have the best
of it as far as chances can be calculated
from a simple view of the respective
number of armored ships and guns.
The battleships Indiana and Iowa,
though 25 per cent. slower than the
Vizcaya class, far overmatch them in
offensive and defensive power Their
armor belts and turrets could not be
pierced at a fighting range of 1000
yards by the biggest gun mounted by
the Spaniards, while the twelve and
thirteen inch guns of our battleships
could perforate the Spanish armor belts
The New York, however, is inferior in
both offensive power and armor to the
Spanish vessels, though she might hold
her own by superior management and
gunnery.
II Sampson has taken his whole fleet
the monitors Amphitrite and Terror
would make up more than a balance of
power against the Spaniards, allowing
the cruisers Montgomery, Detroit and
Marblehead as a force sufficient to take
care of the Spanish torpedo boat de-
stroyers. The latter. however, are al
most untried elements in actual war
fare, and some naval officers fear that
they are much more dangerous foes
than the ordinary strategists allow in
their calculations.

Is a germ disease, the bacilli will not in

must first be in diseased condition.
First a man feels a little out Of sorts.
Probably he Is overworked and has given
too little time to eating, sleeping and rest
ing. His appetite falls of, His digestion
gets out of order and his blood does not
receive the proper amount of life-giving
nutriment The liver becomes torpid and
the blood is filed with impurities. These
are pumped into every organ of the body,
building up unhealthy, half-dead tissues.
The most harm Is done at the weakest spot,
and most frequently that spot is in the
lungs. slight cold leads to infamma-
ton, the bacilli invade the lungs and we
have case of consumption. 7.
Ninety eight per cent of all cases of
consumption are cured by DR.. Pierce's

Havana, May 1S-[Copyright, $685. by
the Associated Press. ALI sorts of war
rumors are in circulation here from
said that a woman and child killed
during a bombardment of Cardenas by
American vessels were the wife and
daughter of one Of the pilots on the
American ships. The Spaniards say an
American force attempted to make a
landing on May 13 at Tacla Aqua beach,
and that after two hours firing the
Americans retired. Captain General
Blanco has definitely appointed the Sec
retaries of the colonial council, who
have been reelected. They are: Senior
Galvez, president Of the council; Senior
Montero, secretary of finance; Senior
Gown, secretary of justice; Senior DOLE,
secretary of public works and commune
cations; SenO- Rodriguez, secretary of
commerce; Senior Zayas, secretary of
public instruction.
The captain general Of Porto Rico has
cabled to Captain General Blanco, say
ing that although the bombardment of
San Juan de Porto Rico took place at
rifie-shot distance not gun of the forts
was silenced and. he adds, the Spanish
losses were only eighteen men wounded
among the troops composing the garri-
son and a few persons wounded among
the civil population of the place.
The Lucha in an editorial article says:
''The American government gave the
Spanish government forty-eight hours
to remove it's troops from this island,
and it now finds after twenty three days
of blockade. that it cannot land Ameri-
can troops. Apparently the island con-
tains more soldiers than they thought.
Such a number could not be removed in
forty-eight hours"

Washington, May 1s.-The official
any news of the movements of either OF

the Spanish flying squadron-and there
is reason to believe that the department
itself has received no information on
that point. The department officials are
beginning to show little sensitiveness
to criticism in the matter of delay in
bringing the Spanish fleet into action.
conscious as they are that they have
made all dispatch compatible with due
regard for the safety Of our own ports,
as well as of the lives of the crews Of
our warships. Every day there is talk
of a change in the naval plans brought
about by some movement of the Span
ish squadron, but what the latest phase
of campaign is nobody outside of the
members Of the war board is competent
to say.
VIII Try to Silence Criticism.
The general immpression is that no
particular effort is to be made just now
to pursue the Spaniards, so long as they
keep within the confines Of the Gulf Of
Sampson and Schley in combination, will
encircle the island of Cuba, maintain
the blockade, and convoy troops across
the Florida straits if necessary, mean
while simply keeping a watch on the
Spanish flying squadron to see that IL
does not do mischief either to the Amer
lean fleet, or-by escaping into the At
lantic-to the seaboard cities. BY this
plan the military and naval officials
might hope to silence the rather severe
criticisms that are being expressed be-
cause of delays in opening the military
campaign in Cuba itself.
As to the Invasion of Cuba.
Considerable pressure has come upon
the administration from congressional
quarters to have the campaign FASTENED
and there are thought to be signs of a
resumption Of the plans of the military
leaders for the invasion of Cuba at the
point where they were suddenly sus-
pended by the announcement of the ar
rival Of the Spanish flying squadron at
Martinique. AT army headquarters there
was no sign of immediate departure,
but in view of the fact that three times,
at least, everything has been prepared
for a movement to Tampa it may be
presumed that everything Is in train for
departure at short notice without open
manifestation of preparations.
