THE CRUISER MINNEAPOLIS.
Steams Into the Harbor of Eastport, Me-
Her Mission

Eastport. Me, April 27.-The U. S.
cruiser Minneapolis was sighted at the
mouth of this harbor at noon. This is
the first flarbor into which the cruiser
has come since she left Hampton Roads
last Saturday. She anchored off Pros
pect harbor last night, but proceeded
at sunrise. There was considerable ex-
citement here when the cruiser was
sighted noon and crowds gathered at
convenient points as she headed up
the bay, showing that she was going
to make port here. At Cross island
Pilot L. f. Lafey was taken aboard
and under his charge the cruiser came
up opposite the city and dropped an
Choir just before / o'clock this after
noon.
AS soon as the anchor of the big war
ship was let go flock of small craft
put off to the new conner. The officers
of the Minneapolis, with great cordial
ity received the visitors and showed
them every attention. To the general
inquiry, however, as to the mission of
the Minneapolis, the evasive answer
was made that she was sailing under
sealed orders and that her destination
was not known. 1t was learned, how
ever, from the more communicative of
her men, that the Minneapolis and Co
lumbia We're detached from Commodore
Schley's flying squadron at Hampton
Roads for the purpose of engaging in
particularly with a view of being near
in case any incoming ship should need
assistance and to keep a lookout for
hostile craft. The cruiser later chang
ed to a safe anchorage anticipating
heavy storm. The Columbia is re-
ported to be coming here tomorrow.

WAR FUND MEASURE.
Section Providing for $50O,000,O00 of
Bonds Becomes Target.


Bonds Becomes n Target.
Washington, April 27-The general
debate upon the measure framed by
the ways and means committee to
meet the extraordinary expenditures of
the war with Spain opened in the
house to-day. 1t will continue through
tomorrow and on Friday at o'clock
the vote will be taken. There was a
signal absence of the partisan rancor
which has always heretofore character
ized debates on revenue measures. Both
sides, speaking through their respec-
tive leaders, Messrs. Dingley and
Bailey, concurred in the necessity
which existed for immediate raising
hundreds of millions to prosecute the
war, but the opposing doctrines which
they held clashed at the first in regard
to the methods by which the revenue
should be raised.
The section providing for s50o,00o,0 600
of bonds became the target of the
democratic and populistic opposition
and Mr.. Bailey in an hours speech
argued for an income tax, which would
raise 100000 a year; the coinage of
the silver seigniorage, the issue of
$7S000,000 of legal tender notes as an
alternative proposition.
Mr.. Sayers of Texas, the ranking
democratic member Of the appropria-
tion committee, devoted his time to an
argument to demonstrate that the
money to be raised by the bill was ex-
cessive and would breed reckless prof
ligy. The expenses of the civil war, in
1864, when the government maintained
two million men in the field and had
four times as many warships as it had
to-day We're only $1,100,000. In view OF
that fact he contenedd that to raise
$500, 900 to carry on q, war insignia
cant in comparison, must result in use
less waste and extravaganza. The popu-
lists also vigorously opposed the bond
proposition.

attack was to prevent the completion
of the earthworks at Punta Gorda. Al
battery on the eastward arm Of the
bay opened fire on the flagship ana
this was also shelled. About twelve
eight-inch shells were fired from the
eastern forts, but all fell short. About
five or six light shells were fired from
the alf-completed battery. Two III
these whizzed over the New York ana
one fell short

The half completed Spanish earth

All the ships engaged showed ex-

the engagement and when they were
firing at the shortest range nearly

which were bombarded were on low

London, April 2S.-The trend Of Eng
