magnificent spectacle. The centre was

From the principal gate of the palace

The sword of state was carried before

Her majesty carried herself with

The Jewels worn by the young queen
were part OF those stolen in Brussels on

WAR TAX BILL.
An Agreement Practically Reached on

WASHINGTON, June S.-The Republi.

it is stated by members of the caucus
that they practically reached an agree.
ment on the most important items of
difference between the two houses
They relate to the coinage of the silver
bullion, the form of the bond provision
and the amount of the bonds, the in
heritance tax, the duty on tea, etc.
These questions have not yet been
raised in the full conference and the
Republicans decline to state any points
of their agreement.
The general impression among sem
ators is that there will be some pro-
visions for .coining the seigniorage and
possibly all the silver bullion in the
treasury, but it is not believed that all
the terms of the senate provision will
be accepted without material moditica.

strengthened those opposed to making
any concessions to silver, but 1t also had
the effect of causing the western Re-
publican senators 70 be all the more
clamOrous for recognition. They ex-
press confidence that their representa-
tions will not go unheeded, and they
profess to speak upon assurances from
Republican members of the conference.

PoRT AU PRINCE, June 7.-Advises
from Santiago de Cuba say that yester.
day morning a lively cannonade was
heard in the direction of Aguidores. 1t
increased in intensity on both sides and
became violent.
On BOARD DIsPATcHBoAT DAUNTLEss,
SANTIAGO, June 8, via Kingston, June
7.-Admiral Sampson is determined not
to allow the Spanish to remove the
Merrimac from the spot where she lies.
On Saturday it was reported that they
were working at the hull, and the
American feet formed in line, with
orders to lombard. 1t turned out that
the Spanish were not so engaged, and
the fleet withdrew. Admiral Sampson
had given special orders that FL Moro,
where the heroes of the Merrimac are
imprisoned, should be spared in the
firing.
Admiral Cervera's polite assurances
were accompanied by the statement that
Lieutenant Hobson and his men were
confined there. This placing of pris-
ers in the direct line of fire is denounced
by the American officers as thirteenth
century defense, an act Of incarnate
cruelty.
General Castillo, commanding the
Cubln forces in the west and north of
the province of Santiago, has been con.
centrating 1000 Cubans in the vicinity
of the city.
WITH THE FLEET, OFF SANTIAGO,

5.-(Delayed in transmission) ALL the
members of the Merrimac expedition

but Lieutenant Hobson escaped without
scratch. This almost incredibly good
news was brought out this afternoon to
Rear Admiral Sampson by Admiral
Cervera's chief OF staff under flag of
truce.

Bustemente y Oviedo, sis so touched
by the bravery of your men that he felt
it only right you should know they are
alive. They are prisoners of war and
are being well treated"
Admiral Sampson greeted Captain
Oviedo moss cordially, thanked Ad.
miral Cervera for his gallant courtesy
and made the preliminary arrange.
ments for the exchange Of Lieutenant
Hobson and his seven heroes.
However, as they have naturally
learned much about the Notifications,
it is hardly likely that they will be ex.
changed for some time. After friend.
ly chat in the cabin Admiral Sampson
sat on deck with Captain Oviedo and
pointed out his great ships with pride.
Stores and clothing for the Merrimac
heroes were put aboard the Colon and
Captain Oviedo went back in his little
black tug.
The names of the two wounded men
were not ascertained. One has sli ght
wound in the cheek and the other in
the hip. After blowing up the Merri.
mac, Lieutenant Hobson and his party

TROOPS REPORTED LANDED.
Special From Kingston Says 5000 United
States Soldiers Made Connec.
tion With Garcia.

NEW YORK, June IA special from
Kingston, Jamaica, reports that 5000
United States troops have landed near
Punts Cabrera, little to the west Of
Santiago de Cuba, where a junction
was effected with General Calixto
Garcia's army of 5000 insurgents. 1t
is added that the landing was effected
under cover of fire from Admiral
SIMPSONS feet. With the troops were
several heavy siege guns.
WASHINGTON, June Naval officers
shook their heads in negation at the
stories that were being circulated to the
effect that troops had been landed in
force at Santiago. They ware SO con-
fident that the reports were premature
as to warrant the belief that from their
knowledge of the movements of the
transports at Tampa and Mobile il
would not be possible for the troopships
to have arrived by this time ON the
south coast Of Cuba.
The Resolute, reported as having been
at Nicolas Mole, Haiti, for brief space
of time, is not troopship in the strict
sense of the term. She is a marine
transport and had on board 800 marines

Co. w. A. Stone, Of Pittsburg, is the

Press comments as the following extract
will show:
We profoundly regret this action OF

since it makes difficult that which was
easy, will sacrifice close legislative and
congressional districts to the Democrats
and will intensity the dissatisfaction
and spirit OF revolt which is so strongly
marked in the Republican party in this
state at the present time.
Other papers Of Philadelphia are
equally outspoken in their animadver-
zion.

WHY WE WERE ,REPULsED" AT SAN
JUAN.

From an account of the action written by an
officer of the battleship Indiana.l
Admiral SIMPSONS instructions were
| understand, that he must seek the
Spanish fleet, and on no account risk
the ships of our squadron at any thing
else
This accounts for our leaving after
three hours bombardment, without
taking the place, which we could easily
have done. The majority were pretty
sore when it was learned that we were
to do nothing else, and all wanted to 90
back for lust one more round; but un'
fortunately this squadron is being run
from Washington instead of by the
admiral, so he hal nothing left but to
obey orders.
The admiral himselfwanted to go back
the worst kind of way, but his in
structions detained him.

The war tax bill got through the Sen
ate Saturday, bat very different from
the way it came from the House. II
now goes back to the House and If the
House does not concur, a conference
committee will be the next step and
they may worry over it somewhat.
The Senate improved the bill greatly
without a doubt, providing greater
revenues and aims to more fairly equa'
lie tax burdens and place share on
wealth.
During the consideration Of the bill in
the Senate the Republicans voted in
solid phalanx against every proposition
to tax corporations or accumulated
wealth. In this they we're aided by th'
votes Of Gold Democrats.
An effort was made to issue sl5O,0O0,
900 OF greenbacks without providing To-
their redemption, but make them re
eelvable by the government for all pub
lie dues. This was to avoid the issue o
bonds. But this was defeated by |
vote of as to 81. The affirmative wa
composed of 3s Republicans and
Democrats, the latter being Messrs
Gallery, Faulkner, German, Gray, Lind
say, Mitchell and Murphy.
A corporation tax Of one-quarter o
one per cent was imposed upon th
gross receipts which, without naming
will catch the Standard Oil Compan!
and the Sugar Trust.
Ten cents pound was placed on tel
by q vote of 2s to S2, the vote beinI
much mixed as to party lines. IL i
supposed this tax will yield about $40,

After war was declared William j,
Bryan, by telegraph, rendered his ser
vices to the President in any capacity
where he might be considered most use
ful. We are not aware that the Presi'
dent ever acknowledged the offer. As Q
consequence Governor Holcomb, of Ne
braska, commissioned Mr.. Bryan to
raise regiment for the promised second
call. This he has done. While mex
perienced in military way, no one will
dispute Mr.. Bryan has proved himself 8
natural leader OF men. Even If you
don't like the way he leads, you are
forced to admit the fact. The Spring
field Mass Republican commenting
says:
There does not appear to be muc
political capital seeking in all this. Tc
one in Mr.. Bryau's position 1t was 9
choice either Of keeping perfectly still
and being accused OF lukewarmness oi
hostility to the war, or of speaking out
or rendering his services, and being con
sequently accused Of harboring ulteriol
and selfish motives. As he had all along
favored Intervention in the case ofCuba
he was heartily in sympathy with the
course Of the government, and said so
and judged it no more than right, as
good citizen, in position of political
leadership, to set the best example he
knew how.
Such is the Bryan case, and if political
capital is to be made out of it for Bryan
the President would seem to have beer
