Hong Kong, April 27.-The Philip

around Manila and a massacre of
Spaniards is feared. It is also an
nounced in the dispatches that the
Spaniards have laid mines about
Manila. The United States squadron
leaves Mrs bay today to watch the
Philippine ports. The insurgent
leader Aguinaldo is on board the
United States Cruiser Olympia. De-
spite official contradictions the rebels
continue raiding towns in the island of
Luzon and the appearance of the
appearance of the American squadron
will be the signal for a descent on
Manila. 1t is expected that the Span
lards will make but feeble resistance.
Berlin, April 27.-The idea that
America may blockade the Philippines
has caused great uneasiness in Ham
burg, where it remarked that the
blockade would damage English and
German interests far more than
Spanish. Of the 33 great trading
houses at Manila, only five are Span
ish. From Feb. 16 to March IL last
of the vessels that entered Manila har-
Dor, only four wers Spanish. The
firms interested intend to appeal to
Germany and it is said that after the
first serious encounter between the
United States and Spain Germany will
induce the powers to intervene and
bring the war to a close.

all the vessels cleared for action and

the afternoon the sub-calibre practice
was continued. The remarkable
craftsmanship of the men at the guns
is a matter of much comment by the
officers. Eight ten-inch targets at
1000 yards, bobbing up and down on
the rolling sea, were demolished by
the sub-calibre shots in no time,
pretty good indication of the fate of
anything large that may come in their
way.

A QUESTION OF COLOR HARMONY
Points to Be Considered in Draper

Points to Be Considered in Draper
les and Cushions.
Beware of letting your fancy run
loose in the matter of sofa pillows
and draperies, warns a writer in the
New York evening Post. A divan of
decided tone and pattern is too often
strewn with an array of pillows of
which each is as emphatic as the
background itself-a display as ag-
gressive as a row of ink-blots on a
white sheet. No sofa pillow should
be bought at random merely because
it pleases the fancy, and then put
among pile of others where it is not
exactly suitable. Every one ought to
be most seriously considered, not only
in relation to the others, but also to
the covering of the divan on which it
is to rest. The fine white linen pill
lows, daintily embroidered with silks,
narrow ribbons in Vatican colors.
are appropriate to use with others as
delicate upon a rattan divan, or one
that is finished in white enamel, but
among dark rich stuffs, upon a mas
s1Ve settle, they are clashingly inhar-
monious. An antique piece of furni-
ture must invariably have antique
looking cushions, both as to color and
design. AS is always wise, one ought
to select for a divan covering a fabric
of neutral tint, that the cushions may
carry out in self-color the tonal
scheme without monotony by an inf
mite variety Of shades and patterns in
the damask chosen. Or for this neu-
trail background, if more license is de-
sired, one will be discreet in selecting
such a combination of color as NAV
be found on the canvas of some mas
ter in color.

Washington, April 2O.-In the SEN
ate Mr.. Foraker (rep. o. in the
course of a brief statement concerning
the recognition of the Cuban repub-
lies independence, said: 81 think,
that speedily, possibly now, on the
very day when the ultimatum has
been sent to Spain, pursuant to the
resolutions that passed here, this gov
eminent has practically recognized the
republic of Cuba, and I think possibly
it is true that we will know by today
that the government is being oflci-
ally dealt with by the representatives
of this government as it should be. .
Mr.. Teller declared it to be the duty
of all to stand by the country rather
than seek political advantage. Mr..
Allen said he thought that it was the
duty of the senators to uphold the
president and country with equal
unanimity. Mr. Allison presented an
amendment to the sundry civil bill
appropriating $473,151 with which to
pay Great Britain's award for Behring
sea claims made by the joint conven-
ton of February 20, 1896. The
amendment was agreed to.
Washington, April 20.-The house
passed the emergency war measure,
the bill empowering the president to
call out volunteer forces and provid-
ing for their organization. Both the
president and Secretary Alger had
urged the imperative necessity of
passing the bill Immediately and
Chairman Hull of the military COM
mittee drove it through under whip
and spur. The bill was drafted by
the war department and introduced
in the house Tuesday and considered
and reported by the committee We'd
| nesday. No such expedition could
have been possible except under the
stress of war pressure. The bill is
permanent in it's character. The
! principal change made in the bill as
introduced was that the appointment
of all regimental officers are to be
made by the president as proposed
originally by the war department.
This action conforms to the practice
of the civil war.

Washington, April 25.-After de-
bate of an hour and half in secret
session the senate passed the bill de-
claring state of war exists between
bill is in the same language as that
passed by the house. The debate was
based on an amendment offered by
Turpie, providing for recognition of
the belligerent rights of the Cubans.
Mr.. Turpie contended that as long as
the insurgents rights of the Cubans
were unrecognized they could only be
regarded subjects of Spain, and
hence urged that our position in de-
claring for recognition of the freedom
and independence of the Cuban peo-
pie was entirely inconsistent with our
refusal to recognize their belligerent
rights. The amendment was defeat
ed, "a to SO. There was no division
on the passage of the bill
Consideration of the naval appro-
priation bill was then resumed Mr.
Hale offered an amendment authoriz-
ing the secretary of the navy to enlist
as many seamen, landsmen and boys
as he may deem necessary to man the
ships of the navy as temporary
force, and appropriating $8,830,000 for
the purpose. Mr.. Hale agreed to an
amendment offered by Cockrell that
| the time limit be during the existing

and the amount appropriated made
| Immediately available. The bill as
amended was then passed The bill
| for the better organization of the ar
my of the United States, providing
| for a three-battalion formation, was
called up by Mr.. Hawley. The
amendments offered by the committee
were agreed to without division The
bill was then passed.
