fully carried out. as they are certain
to be, bring the war to close by COM
pelliGg Spain to sue for peace. These
movements include the capture of
Santiago de Cuba, upon which a COM
bined attack is to be made by the army
and navy just as soon as the troops can
be got into position-they have proba-
bly, already been landed-and the cap
ture or destruction of the Spanish
fleet in the harbor at that place. just
as soon as Santiago has been captured,
the army and navy will make COM
bined move on Porto Rico, and when
that island hassbeen captured it is be-
lieved that Spain will gladly evacuate
Cuba in order to get peace.
The last cable from Cuba, excepting
the one to Key West, has been cut, and
General BIanco is now not only cut off
from Spain, but from nearly all of the
Cuoan cities, as the insurgents make it
impossible for him to maintain over
land wires from Havana. gl.s
No more daring deed has been per-
formed during this war, or any other
war, than the sinking Of the U. s.
collier Merrimac in order to obstruct
the narrow channel at the entrance of
Santiago harbor. by volunteer crew
of seven men under Lieut.. Hobson.
These heroes were all captured by the
Spanish, but they will not remain in
prison long, and President Mckinley
will see that they are properly rewarded
when they get out.
The Senate has passed the war re-
venue bill. As passed by the Senate it
authorizes the issue of $30G. G.000,0 900 in
bonds and directs the coinage of the
silver bullion in the treasury at the
rate of 100000 a month and the
issuing of silver certificates for that
amount. The bill has been sent to
conference committee, and the House
conferees will insist upon increasing
the bonds to $500, 100000, as provided
in the original House bill, and upon
striking out the silver coinage clause,
and they expect to carry their point
10 both instances. The final vote upon
the bill in the Senate was As to a28.
Senator Wolcott made manly reply
to the implied charge of Senator Allen
that the Bimetallic Commission USE
lessly and extraVagantly wasted an
appropriation of 100000 during its
trip to Europe, in which he said II

that the three commissioners spent
more than six months in Europe,
travelling where their duties tookthem.
They were accompanied by secretary,
and the entire expense of the work ac-
complished was only $4,000. And I
desire to add that every member OF the
commission, in accepting the appoint
ment and performing his duties, sacri-
feed thousands of dollars. It, is un-
dignifed and unbefitting Senator of
the U. S. to stand in his place on this
floor and suggest that the commission
spent money it was not justified in
spending. l am getting tired of hear
ing that sort of suggestions from the
Senator from Nebraska. 1t is not the

has thrown them out. Through him

up to the present time have not
been caught, though Deputy
Sheriff Nugent has been out after
them. As soon as be returned
yesterday afternoon, MIR. Hodge
went to telegra phing and telc-

men are Ed PembertOn, a United
States prisoner charged with per

lnnman, charged with accessory
to murder. They were bare
headed, are all dark negroes, and
Innman has a big scar down his
nose and through his lip.
The esca pe Is through no fault
of Jailer Smith, but through the
faulty construction of the locks
on the corridor door. Mr.. Smith
had been i'll the ha bit Of giving
the prisoners every day a load
of melons that Mr.. Hodge
brought in from his place, and
would turn the prisoners out of
their cells into the corridor, where
they would eat the melons.
Now several Of the prisoners
learned that by putting their
hands through the bars they
could, by a sudden jerk, diSplacc
the bolts and open the door. This
neither Mr.. Smith nor Mr.. Hodge

Smith was prepa ring The melons

door, one OF the men sprung the
