WASHINGTON, May 10.--There is the
best authority for the statement that
yesterday having passed without a re-
port from Admiral Sampson the navy
department. does not expect to hear from
him within several days. The authority
for this statement is fully acquainted
with Admiral Sampson S plans, and the
remark would seem to indicate that the
admiral, having failed to find the en-
envy at the place expected, had turned
his attention to the alternative project.
What this is cannot be ascertained. 1t
is evident however, that the depart
ment is under no apprehension as to the
safety of the American feet nor of any
vessel of the fleet.
1t is now officially admitted that Ad-
miral Sampson on Sunday was with his
feet near Cape Haytien, on the north
coast Of San Domingo, and distant about
days run from Porto Rico. So far no
reports have come to the department of
any of the lurid engagements that are
said to have taken place in these waters,
but it is believed at the department that
if there was gun firing Sunday and the
day before, as reported by merchant
vessels, it probably was occasioned by
some of the United States vessels chas-
ing either prizes or the small gunboats
that are believed to be cruising around
in those waters. It is not believed that
there has been any engagement between
Admiral Sampson S forces and the Span
ish ironclad flying squadron, else re-
ports would have been received already
at the department. From the expecta-
ton so plainly manifested at the navy
department that something important
is to happen very soon, it is surmised
that if Sampson does not strike the
Spanish flying squadron he may strike
blow at Porto Rico itself.
1t is a curious fact that thus far the
navy department does not know posi-
lively where the Spanish fleet is, and it
is just possible that the Spanish vessels
may be away over on the other side of
the Atlantic or at Cadiz, instead of be-
ing in SIMPSONS neighborhood in the
West Indies. That such thing can
happen is plainly shown by the report
from st. Thoras that the Spanish cruiser
Alphonso XIII arrived at Porto Rico
Sunday or the day before This is Il
formidable protected cruiser of modern
type, and it has been supposed all along
that she was at Cadiz, Spain, forming
part of the home defense squadron. The
fact that she has arrived at Porto Rico
without knowledge of her departure
having leaked out is an evidence that
the Spanish authorities are able to guard
the secrecy of their naval movements
much better than our own people are
able to do.
Word came to the navy department.
that the cable had been cut between
Montevideo and Rio Grande do Sui,
thus cutting off all communication
along the east coast of South America,
below the first and last named point, in
the south of Brazil If this were not an
accident it would be hard to guess at
the purpose, the Oregon having passed
far north of the break. 1t is just posi-
BILE that Spanish emissaries have cut the
cable to conceal some naval demonstra-
ton or movements of Spanish ships in
that quarter of the world.

Editor Wilson, of Ironton, Attends the An
nual Banquet of the Ohio Society,
In New York City.

The Ohio Society held its annual
banquet at the Waldorf-Astoria. This
is the finest hotel in the world. 1t is
an immense building, the interior ar
rangements being a palace of art, out
shining all triumphs of oriental wealth.
One is apt to think as he walks along
the halls, or climbs the stairs, or looks
into the dining room, If there are rich
men enough in all this land to support
it. There seem to be. 1t was alive
with humanity, splendid specimens of
men and women, richly dressed, and
yieing with their courtly manners and
social graces, the art. the flowers, the
| foliage, that everywhere make it all a
wilderness of beauty. In one of the
large rooms, a music or dancing ROOM
the Ohio Society held its banquet.
Here, 225 gentlemen, all spick and i'm
maculate in full dress, sat down at lit
tie round tables, eight to a table.
Through the unbounded partiality of
some friends, was assigned to seat
at the table of honor. between ExSen-
ator Briee and Gen. Swayne, but
through the kindness of Gen. Burnett,
the President of the Feast, I was per-
mitted to extricate myself from so
much distinction, and possible post
prandial attempt, and join the knights
of the round tables where, if the honor
was not SO stiff and great, the associa-
tion was more mellifiuent and mellow.
1t was grand scene. Music that
melted the heart. Roses that crimsoned
the air. The balconies above were
filed with ladies who showered their
smiles on the gallant sons of Ohio. The
menu was the very classic of CASTRO
nomy, and every diner was classical
scholar-to this extent, at least. Iron

ELK FORK IN THE LEAD.
Twenty-Nine Wells in the Pool Doing
Above 100 Barrels Day.

Above 100 Barrels a Day.
PITTsBURG, Jan. 14.-There are still
20 wells in the Elk Fork Dol listed at
100 bbls. or more per day. The aggre-
gate output of the 30 wells is given at
4635 bbls. day. But one we'll, the
W. W. Gorrell No l, is credited with
400 bbls. day. There are three in the
9OO-barrel llst-No. l, Henthrone; No
2, Agnes Gorrell, and No. 10, ]. F. Far
rell. The remainder range from 100 to
275 bbls. day. The Elk Fork pool
alone contains more wells producing
100 or moro barrels day than all other
portions of West Virginia and South
eastern Ohio combined. For the acre
age embraced, the Elk Fork pool will
no doubt stand at the head in the
amount of oil produced. Some rich
pools have been found in the past, but
for regularity in the formation and the
number of prolific producing wells, the
Tyler development on Elk Fork leads
all others.

10 WIZ Hold Back Appropriations tor b
War.
Washington, May 6.-At the cabinet
meeting to-day, besides the war situa-
ton In its general aspect. there wa
some discussion of the relative merits

self very pronouncedly az opposed to
the appointment to such responsible
positions Of those who have had no
military experience.
One feature Of the session vas a dis
cussion OF the attitude of the senate
in providing the ''sinews of war for
defraying the expenditures Of the war.
The president q received positive In
formation that the n committee
on finance. which 10 still struggling
with the war revenue bill, will report
that measure with the bond feature
eliminated. This fact is causing the
administration great uneasiness and
embarrassment, and the statement IL
made that h possibility Of adverse
action Of the full body of the senat IL
q source Of much anxiety. h presi-
dent laid before the cabinet the infor-
nation he had a. to what is to be
looked for from lie senate. and while
not expressing absolute confidence I n
favorable action by the senate with
the bond feature reincorporated. ex-
pressed the hope that there would be a
satisfactory majority for h bond pro-
vision.
Should 1t not become a part of the
law many urgent appropriations for
the war will have to be held back. The
money to be secured from bond sales.
1t is reported, is needed imperatively
for the execution of the plans mapped
out, and adverse action by the senate
would be likely to Interfere unless the
money Is otherwise provided by as
speedy method as the issuance of
bonds. The administration is anxious
to impress this fact upon congress In
order that ample may be at
hand for a vigorous prosecution of the
war.
There was considerable qualification
evident at the session at the general
war outlook. There was a strong be-
lief hat the Spanish fleet, instead of
sailing across the seas to intercept the
Oregon, or to come over into the waters
near home to begin operations, would
be found eventually to be now pro-
crossing for some point closer its own
possessions on the other side of the
pond. While there is great reliance on
the part of all the members of the ad.
m~inistration on the subject, there is
excellent authority for the statement
that the instructions of Admiral Samp-
son give him great latitude.

Considering the R.v.uu. B,l,.

Washington, May 6.-The senate COM
mittee on finance to-day resumed consid-
Grafton of the revenue bill. The democrats
had prepared some of the amendments
they will offer and these with other ques-
tions were taken up for consideration.
The committee devoted its forenoon ses-
sion to the consideration of a number OF
amendments suggested by the republican
member to the schedule devoted to stamp
taxes. There were a large number of
these amendments. many of them dealing
with the ph~raseology of the bill and 9TH
ers with the rates. There Is a general ef-
fort to find an effective way of taxing
contracts for future sales and the indi-
cations are that some steps in this direc-
tion will be made.
