Than Four Hundred Men Friday.
WASHINGTON, July 4.-Owing to the
many conflicting reports of the losses

WAR REVENUE BILL
 BEFORE THE SENATE,

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The war reve- Senate this week almost to the exclusion of other business, and there is a proba- bility that the bill can be disposed of during the week. The indications now are for two weeks debate, and there is no assurance that 1t will be concluded within that period of time. The oppo- delay the action of this legislation, but they do not conceal their purpose of talk ing time to present their views on the various questions involved, and 1t looks as if it would be impossible for them to do this within less time than two weeks The principal portion of the debate will be on the report of the Republican mem bers of the committee in favor of restor- ing the bond provision. The probabili- ties are that this proposition will prevail if the war continues but before vote can be reached upon it there will be a great deal of talk for and against It. The entire financial question will be involved Senators who oppose the bond issue will be heard before the conclusion of the dis cussion. The Republican Senators gen. orally are averse to a prolonged discus sion, but the Democrats and silver Re publicans say it will be necessary for Senator Allison will open the debate on Monday with statement on behalf of the Republican members of the Commit tee on Finance, and will be followed by some Democratic member of the com mittee, probably Senator Jones. Beyond this there is no date upon which to base a statement of the probabilities. It Is be no dearth of speechmakers nor of SpeechmaktuE.

 Nations. Belief That England Would Prevent Interference by Continental
 Powers.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, May 15.-The HeraId's Washington correspondent telegraphs: Senators and Representative are all much pleased with the attitude of Eng land in the Spanish-American war, as expressed by MT. Joseph Chamberlain in his speech on public affairs in Bir- mingham. Members of the Senate For eign Relations Committee as asrule are not inclined to speak for publication at the present time on the exact action the United States might take to further an Anglo Saxon alliance, as suggested by MT. Chamberlain. They were, how ever, of the opinion that MT. Chamber lain's speech strongly intimated that the sympathies of Great Britain were with America in her present struggle. Senator Cullom of the Foreign Rela- tions Committee said in regard to the speech of MT. Chamberlain:
 Tt was a most wonderful speech in every way, and we are all very glad to hear such words of good feeling come from one. of the leading English statesmen. It will have the important effect of keeping either France, Ger many or Austria from showing outward sympathy for Spain, and will tend to bring the two English-speaking nations together
 Those countries,'' said Senator Gull lom in speaking of the action of France and Austria in the present struggle be- tween the United States and Spain, had better mind their own business CT they will get more than they bar gain for"
 Senator Foraker was much pleased with the speech of MT. Chamberlain, but would say nothing for publication, except that he thought 1t would act as a warning to European powers to keep out of the existing war and remain strictly neutral.
 Many public men who are reluctant to talk for publication at present ex- pressed themselves as believing that in case of any interference from France or any other European power, England, if necessary, would enter actively into the struggle as an ally of the United States.
 Senator Thomas C. Platt seldom be- comes enthusiastic over foreign affairs but lie did not hesitate to announce his cordial appreciation of the senti- ments expressed by MT. Chamberlain.
 MADRID, May 15.-With reference to the speech of MT. Joseph Chamber lain, the British Secretary of State for the Colonies, at Birmingham on Friday night, Senor Gullon said 1t had real inn portance, not only for Spain, but for the future of Europe. He declared also that a red book would be presented to the Chamber on Wednesday next, in which the Government declares the blockade of Cuba ineffective, and ex- presses the hope that the powers in Europe and America will refuse to recognize it

zANJA NUMBER SEVEN
Boyle Heights Irrigators Want Their
Full Share Of the City Water

In the present situation of the city water
supply no consumer Is supposed to get as
much Of the precious liquid as he has bar
gained for, but the Boyle Heights irriga-
tors were before the council yesterday. pro-
testing that they are not getting even their
proportion Of what is being distributed.
The protestants contend that they con-
troll at least one-fifth Of the total irrigated
land In the city and instead Of getting ono
fifth of the irrigating water they actually
receive only one-twelfth or one-fifteenth.
Part of this shortage they attribute to the
fact that some of the water allotted to them
Is diverted before 1t reaches them by the
Cudahy Packing company and the Nation
al Ice company who are alleged to pay the
enormous rental of IS per month for this
privilege. 1t Is also said that there is other
water going to waste which these COM
panies could put to use of they would go
to little extra expense. The irrhgators
have been users of the city water for from
ten to twenty years and have never known
their crops to be In g more critical condition
for want Of moisture.

ter and asked that something be done. The
