BETTER TIME
70 Be Made on Battleships---T on
the Illinois Glass Reduced by
Bureau Chiefs.

Washington, D. c.. May 31.-The
board of naval bureau chiefs is trying
to hasten the work of construction of
the battleships authorized by the pres
ent naval appropriation bill The III
inois type upon which the new vessels
are to be constructed will occupy three
years IN construction. After a confer
ence to-day the bureau chiefs presum-
ably with knowledge of the construc-
tive ability Of the American ship yards
capable of undertaking this work, re-
solved to reduce the time allowed for
building the new ships VI a maximum
of 80 months.
The Navy Department bought another
yacht to-day-the Inquirer-at New
York for use in the auxiliary fleet by
which the Mosquito fleet will be desig-
mated in accordance with the terms of
the recently enacted act on the sub

NEUTRALITY.
Consular Reports Bring Advices from

Washington, D. c., May 31.-The
consular reports issued to-day contain
some additional declarations of neu-
trallty this time from Brazil, japan.
British Guiana, st. Lucia and Gibraltar
1t is noticeable that both Brazil and
Japan go out of the way of the usual
formal preamble to express regret at
the outbreak Of hostilities between the
United States and Spain. Bermuda
modifies her original proclamation Of
April % so as to make the rule relative
to supplying provisions, subsistence
and coal to belligerent ships conform
closely to the very severe English
rules on that subject. The Japanese
proclamation is rather remarkable from
the great exactness with which it pre-
scribes the rules that are to govern
japanese subjects in their dealings
with the belligerents and the treatment
that will be accorded belligerent ships.
The proclamation evidently was pre-
pared with great care and may serve
as a model for the guidance of diplo-
mats of all nations

FOR A LONG CAMPAIGN.
Government Preparing to Feed Big
Army for Many Months

army Tor many months.
Tampa, Fla. May 31.-Gen. Nelson
A. Miles and his staff are expected to
arrive in Tampa at late hour tonight.
There were no indications of an imme-
date movement to-day and orders for
for breaking camp are not expected
until after Gen. Mess arrival.
That the War department expects
protracted campaign is evident by the
immense amount of commissary sup
plies that have been received here.
Rations for an army of seventy thou
sand men for three months are now
stored in the government warehouses
or wait unloading, while hundreds of
carloads more are expected.
The monthly muster and inspection
drill of the regiments was held to-day.
The inspection was unusually rigid.
Major General Fitzhugh Lee and his
staff, Captain Niche, assistant adju-
tant general, Lieut.. Colonel Curtis
Guild, Jr., inspector general, Lieut..
Colonel Maus, chief surgeon. and Lieut..
Colonel Wood, chief commissary, left
for Jacksonville to-day Gen Lees
aides. Lieuts. Sartoris, Fits Lee, Jr.,

morrow. Headquarters of the Seventh
army corps will be established at jack
sonville and the work of forming the
corps and equipping the volunteer
troops for hard campaign will be ac-
lively pushed.

WITH VIGOR.
The Movements of the Army and
Navy Are to Be Prosecated--Santi-
ago and Por,o Rico Supposed OF.
jectiVe Points.

Washington, May 31.-When the cab
announced that the matters under dis
cussiOn were not of vital importance,
nor was there anything Of interest that
could be given to the public. The best
information obtainable from other
sources, however, strongly indicates
that the important military movement
now in progress will be directed against
Santiago and in cooperation with the
fleet under Commodore Schley and the
allied insurgent forces. Our forces are
expected to speedily capture the city
of Santiago and the fleet or destroy it.
1t is also intimated from high sources
that the land expedition now embarking
at Key West may be divided and one di-
vision sent to cooperate with Admiral
Sampson against Porto Rico. 1t is be-
iieved that the government now has a
sufficient number of regulars and sea-
sCned volunteers to carry out both of
these plans to a successful issue.
Transports in sufficient numbers and
capacity already have been secured and
it is the opinion of high officials that
one or both of these plans are now be-
ing carried into execution. Gen. Miles
who left mere last night TO take COM
mand Of the military forces, is known
to have the entire confidence of the
President who, in the course of to-days
cabinet meeting said, in effect, that
he had the utmost confidence in Gen.
Miles's ability as a soldier and fully
expected that he would prove entirely
worthy of his trust. Members of the
administration are agreed that the war
from this time will be prosecuted at all
points with tie utmost vigor

A PAPER FLEET.
Dispatches from Spain Cause No
Alarm in the Navy Department
Many Anticipated Vessels.

Washington, May 31.-The frequent
reports from Spain through other
countries to the effect that a formidable
fleet is being prepared at Cadiz. to sail
for the West Indies in aid OF Cervera,
causes little apprehension here Naval
officers, through private means of COM
munication, have pretty well satisfied
themselves that the CadiZ feet is
paper feet. In other words, it's Often
sive power is altogether ~ altogether
illusCry. More than half of the yes
sells whose names appear SO frequently
in the press dispatches as formidable
war craft, are of antiquated type and in
a state of disorder.
The report that the Pope had address
ed himself to President Mckinley di-
rectly in an effort to bring about peace
between the United States and Spain
proves, upon investigation, to be
groundless. 1t is not believed that the
pCntiff would be led into the rather
unusual course of addressing himself
directly to our chief executive

WAR REVENUE.
Senate Spent Yesterday on the Bill
But Made No Progress---The Dis
cuSsiOn.

Washington, D. c., May 31.-Another
day has been passed by the Senate in
fruitless discussion of the war revenue
measure. Not the slightest material
progress was made at to-day's session
towards disposing of the bill. Speeches
were made by Mason, Qll); Lodge.
(Rep., Mass.), and Elkins, (Rep., w.
Va.). Mr.. Mason strongly advocated
an amendment to the bill placing a tax
on wheat -four adulterated either with
clay or with corn, AID presented long
statement by the National Association
of American Millers in support Of his
contention. Mr.. Lodge had intended
to defend his action in offering the
Hawaiian annexation resolution as an
amendment 10 the pending bill, but re-
trained because, he said, secret ses-
sion would be demanded if that dis
cussiCn were started. After comment
ing somewhat severely upon the AFRO
gance OF the minority which prevented
action upon question which the ad-
ministratiOn and majority in both
branches OF Congress desired to dis
pose of, he began a discussion of some
of the questions arising out of the
present war; Evidently believing this
not proper subject for public dis
cussion, Mr.. Turpie Dem, Ind.),
forced secret legislative session.
In the open session that followed
Mr. Elkins discussed the general feat
ures of the pending BILL opposing the
corporation tax, the tax ON bank de-
posits, and the issue of greenbacks, and
strongly advocating the issue of bonds
The session Of the House to-day was
brief. A number of private bills were
also passed.

JUDGE JACKSON REVERSED.
Supreme Court Holds That the q. s. Circuit
Court Had No Jurisdiction in the Case
or a. Il. White Against the Hannis

Court Had No Jurisdiction in the Case
or a. Il. White Against the Hannis
Guagers.
Washington, May 31.-Justice Har-
Ian to-day handed down the opinion OF
the court in the cases Of A. B. White.
collector of internal revenue, for the
district Of West Virginia, against Ber-
ry, Butler and Ruckman, appealed from
the circuit of the United States for
West Virginia. The appellees were
gaugers and storekeepers at the Hannis
distillery, in West Virginia, and Mr..
White, who was appointed to the office
OF internal revenue collector by Mr..
Mckinley, announced his purpose to
remove them and appoint Republicans
to their places. They resisted removal
on the ground that as they were en-
ployed under the civil service law they
could net be removed except for causes
shown and proved.
In the West Virginia circuit court
an order was issued sustaining the ap-
pelles and restraining and inhibiting
White from in any wise interfering
with the plaintiffs in the possession OF
their Offices and the discharge OF their
duties"
1t was coltended on behalf of the
government that the circuit court, sit
ting in equity is it did in the case, was
without jurisdiction to entertain the
suit. The opinion to-day accepts this
view OF the matter, reverses the circuit
court and does not therefore enter upon
the merits of the various questions in
volved. Justice Harlan said:
If the assignment of some one to
duty as gauger at the Hannis distillery
in the place of the plaintiff did not
work his removal from office a court of
equity ought not to assume to control
the discretion to which the executive
department has in all matters. Inter-
ference by the judicial department
would lead to the utmost confusion in
the management of executive affairs"
