NEW YORK, July 30.-This was cup day at Brighton Beach and a large crowd gathered to see the great Hamburg prac- tically walk over for the $5400 first money. Ogden took second money, $1250. There was no doubt as to which of the Daily pair was to make the pace, for Hamburg began to go to the front at the fall of the flag and as they passed the stand for the first time he was ten lengths to the good In the backstretch he widened the gap by half as much again, while Howard Mann was a length in the front of Ogden, the latter under a pull. Passing the stand for the second time Hamburg was but little short of a sixteenth of mile in front of the others, who were then on even terms and beginning to race. Ham, burg made the gap good sixteenth, while Howard Mann was through, ogden being couple of lengths in front of him. At the end Hamburg was half dozen lengths better than a sixteenth of a mile in front of his stable mate, Ogden. It was not a race-simply an exhibition gallop by the best race horses of them all.

THE BcsToN.
Ono OF the Fleet that Great Victory at Manila.

Slowly but surely the Americans ST.

at the entrance OF the hnrbor. alone
continued to belch defiance to the
American fleet.
Manila was now at Dewey's mercy,
but he lacked the men necessary TO
make landing. The insurgent forces
were unable to make an attack with
any hope Of success.
The American commander sent an
other note TO Governor August. Manila
must be surrendered or the town itself
would be fired upon. Again the
naughty Castilian answered In the neg
ative, and the commodore resumed his
work.
The squadron's fire was concentrated
on Corregidor. The combat was ter
rife. As the forts fire began to weaken
the cable was severed and the outside
world wns left to conjecture the result
During the night Manila took fire.
The flames seemed to break out in
every portion of the city at the same
time. The Spaniards assert that the
confiagration was caused by the alco-
hol bombs fired by the American ships.
but this Is probably untrue.
II Is more likely that the Spaniards
themselves fired the town before II fell
into the hands OF their conqucrors
However that may be. the flames did
their work well, and only few houses
remain Most of the citizens have fed
to the country. The soldiery Is reap
ing harvest of piliage.

Mt That Point.
Miami, Fla, May 1.-From an off,
Ger of the Puritan, which came here
for coal and supplies Saturday, 1t was
learned that another attack VIII be
made on Mntanzas next Tuesday.
The Puritan, which il the flagship of
the western blockading squadron, will
reach the station Monday night, and
the bombardment will begin early
Tuesday morning. Both forts will be
shelled, and when reduced. landing
parties will be sent ashore. The 800
marines on the Panther have not been
permitted to go ashore at Key West.
They will be conveyed to the Cuban
coast by the Puritan and will police
and hold the town after bombardment.
The Red Gross ship, londed to the
guards with provisions and supplies
for recommendations, will 20 with the
Puritnnand Panther. II is said at the
naval station that the attack on Ha-
vana will be made as early as Tues
day.
The movement viii be In the nature
of n prelude. and the western shore
defenses will be the targets. No gen.
eral attack on all forts and batteries
Will be made until later in the week,
1t was given out as the belief of the
officers in command of the army post
at Key West that troops from Tampa
would be landed in Cuba before the
10th of May.
Within forty-eight hours transports
for nearly 5000 men could be assem-
bled in Tampa. There are steamers
enough in Key West harbor now to
carry at least three regiments. Ma
tanzas will be the place of the first
landing.
No attempt will be made to extend
operations beyond holding towns until
Miles and Merritt can lead n column
at Matanzas and eastward, to be
Joined by Gomez.
The reason assigned for immediate
descent on Cuba by the troops is the
desire to get the island under control
and permit II part of Sampson's squad
ron TO go north to protect United
States cities from possible lombard
ment.

REVENUE BILL PASSED.
Goes Through the House Under Forced
Pressure

Pressure
Washington. April 29.-The House
to-day nassed the war revenue bill
with only the amendments agreed up
on by the Republican members of the
ways and means committee added. In
order to accomplish this parliament
tary maneuver was necessary, as the
whole time for amendments was ex-
hausted by the minority in trying to
amend the bond feature of the bill
Mr.. Dingley offered as n substitute an
entirely new bill. containing these
amendments. after the bill had been
reported to the House. This was an
old parliamentary trick frequently re-
sorted TO years ago. .
Many amendments were offered to
the bond feature of the bill. ranging
from n proposition for the substitute
of an income tax provision, to an au-
thorization for an issue of $50 million
dollars of groenbacks. But all were
voted down. At the last minute the
Democrats decided TO offer the motion
to recommlt. with instructions to re-
port back the income tax proposition
as an amendment to the bill. instead
OF as a substitute for the bond promo
sition. This was due to the fact that a
number of Democrats declined TO vote
TO strike out the bond provision. The
motion was defeated. 134 TO 1T3. Four
Republicans voted with the Democrats
and Populists on this vote. But on
the final passage of the bill (which
was carried. 1s1 to 131), the Demo
Gratis and Populists, with six excep-
tions. voted solidly against the bill.
