Only the big general deficiency bill
remains but the cOnferees are almost
agreed on it, and it will soon be dis
posed of. Good reasons exist for an ad-

legislation for the successful conduct
of the war, and neither the president
nor the departments expect to ask for
further authority in connection with
military and naval movements against
Spain.
If the war comes to an end before
December, the preliminary negotia-
tions for peace must be conducted by
the executive. If it should be neces-
sary to conclude a treaty before that
the senate could be called together.
NEW YORK, July 5.-The men of
Sampson's fleet will get something
else besides glory in payment for their
work in destroying the Spanish feet.
A considerable amount of hard cash

Spanish wsrships at the time of the
attack our sailors get 500 bounty.
There were about 100 men in Ger
vera's ships when the battle began.
The officers and men of our navy will
consequently divide up over S170,O 900.

mission.
