Spanish warships. under Admiral Mon
teio, are patrolling the western coast
awaiting the arrival of the American
warships.
The Spanish fleet, it appears, has
been reinforced by a large auxiliary
cruiser, said to be capable Of steaming
twenty knots, and armed as a warship.
She is known as the MonteVideo; but
an examination of the maritime regis
ters fails to establish her identity. 1t
is claimed, however, that she is very
large vessel
Washington, April 29.-It is reported
here that the Spanish fleet off the Phil
ippnes are taking their departure
without resisting the approach OF the
American squadron.
The next eVentful news is expected
TO come from the other side of the
world, where Commander Dewey's fleet
IS hourly approaching the ships Of
Spain. There is some doubt whether
Admiral MonteiO will venture an actual
engagement with the American forces,
and the bombastic proclamation which
has been issued by the governor of the
Philippines does not indicate that the
Spaniards are preparing to make very
desperate fight. Should Monteio risk
"a meeting there can be little question
of the result, for no one of the six
cruisers in his fleet can compare with
the least effective of Commodore
Dewcy's force. His vessels are all old
and barnacled and they will be an easy
prey to the American guns The gun
boats in attendance on them are hardly

Dewey is likely to he of a victory at
sea or the capture of Manila, which will
hcncefurth be used as a base of sup
plies. Secretary Long says that he does
not expect 10 hear from Dewey
before tomorrow. but it may
be that decisive action is going
on at this moment. 1t may be also that
the first news which comes from Man
liza will be of n Spanish victory. This
will have to be discounted, for the
Spanish have control of the cable land.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
HostiIities Have Not Changed Last
Weeks Conditions.

New York, April Or. G. Dun e.
Co.'s weekly review of trade will say
tomorrow:
Hostilities have not as yet changed
last weeks conditions. There is much
postponement of orders by men who do
not know what they are waiting for
and much restriction of loans by banks
which are abundantly strong. All this
checks new business and yet the vol
ume Of transactions throughout clear
ing houses is larger than the same
week in 1892 with no foreign trouble.
Eut this Increase would be much lar
ger but for speculative stagnation
ncTc. The railroads are dong a great
business, 81 per cent larger than in
1892 in April earnings thus far, and
1879 larger than last year.
Failures for the week have been 26l
in the United States against 237 last
year. and l6 in Canada against 40 last
year.

Madrid, April ga great impression
has been produced here by "A rumor
that the German government has is
sued a note declaring that it will not
oppose the landing of troops in the
Philippines, but will not permit a bonn
bardment, owing to the important Ger
man mercantile interests in all the
towns of the islands. Germany's omis-
sion to declare neutrality is held to
hands by neutrality declaration.
London, April 3O.-Prince Bismarck
according TO a dispatch from Berlin,

The Berlin correspondent of the
Standard says that the Austrian gov
ernment is not disposed to sign a spe-
cial declaration of neutrality in the war
between Spain and the United States.

spy STORY A FAKE.
The supposed span ard was Simply
''Oh Hts TraIieyo Mentally

Key West, Fla, April 29.-There Is
absolutely no foundation for the SEN
sational reports telegraphed from here,
to the effect that case of treason has
been discovered on board the United
States monitor Puritan. The rumors
arose from the strange actions of a
fireman, with Spanish-sounding name,
now under restraint on the warship be-
cause of his eccentricities The Off
GERS of the Puritan declare there is nc
thought Of trying the man by court
martial. and that all the talk about
treason Is absurd.
The actions of the officers OF the
monitor in placing the man under re-
straint were guided solely by the dan
ger of allowing an unevenly balanced
man to be at large.

Washington, April 29.-The house to-
day passed the war revenue bill with
only the amendments agreed upon by
the Republican members of the ways
and means committee added In Or
der to accomplish this, a parliament
airy manouvre 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 q substitute an en-
tirely new bill containing these amend
ments after the bill had been reported
to the house. This was an old parlia-
rientary trick frequently resorted to
years ago. The Morrill, tariff law was
passed in this way in it's original form
after it had been loaded down with
amendments in committee of the
whole. Many amendments were offer
ed to the bond feature of the bill
ranging from a proposition for the
substitution of an income tax provi-
sion to an authorization for an issue
of $150.000,000 greenbacks. But all
were voted down. At the last minute
the Democrats decided to offer the mo-
ton to recommit with instructions to
report back the income tax proposition
as an amendment to the bill instead of
as a substitute for the bonu provi-
sion. This was due to the fact that a
number of Democrats had declined to
vote to strike out the bond provision.
The motion was defeated. 134-173. Four
Republicans voted with the Democrats
and Populists on this vote. But on the
final passage of the bill (Which was
carried, 1Sl-13D the Democrats and
Populists with six exceptions. voted
solidly against the bill. The Demo-
Gratis who voted for the bill were:
Messrs. Cummings, Mcclellan and
Griggs, of New York; Fitzgerald,
Massachusetts; McAleer, Pennsylva-
mia, and Wheeler, Alabama. Two
Republicans, Messrs. Linney, Of North
Carolina, and Thorp. of Virginia, voted
with the opposition. Quite a number
of Democrats declined to vote.

HERMAN OSTHAUS.
Colonel Osthaus' orders are very
meagre. They were received verbally
from w. L. Pryor, city passenger agent
Of the Lehigh Valley company, who
went to Mounta Gretna from here We'd
neSday night on the special train bear
ing the regiment. He left Mount Gret-
ma yesterday morning. The informa-
tion contained in the foregoing notice
is all that was hurriedly communicated
by Colonel Coursen to Mr.. Pryor be-
fore the latters departure from camp.
Telegraphic instructions from Colonel
Coursen are expected by Colonel Osth-
aus at any time.
As the latter viewed the matter last
night, he is simply expected to record
the names, addresses and particulars
of identity, such as age, occupation, ma
tivity, etc, Of those who wish to enlist.
He has no commission to prescribe the
oath of allegiance nor to provide for
medical examination.
COlOne! OSthauS assumes that duly
authorized recruiting officer and a
surgeon will be sent here from camp.
1t is believed the unofficial recruiting
is to give the recruiting detail facil-
tiles, Immediately on their arrival, for
| judging what manner of recruits they
may pick from,
1t Is probable that two or three days
| will find several hundred names on the
recruiting roll. OF that number many
would not he acceptable to the regi.
| mental officers or to the companies tC
| which they might be assigned. Though
| all of them might be physically first,
! class large proportion would not come
up to the personal quality desired By
| the command as a whole.
This view is thought to account foI
| Colonel Coursen's unofficial order which
can hardly be construed as other thar
request, made in anticipation Of the
! f1lcial r"cruiting that is to follow soon
| When the regimental detail comes, i
| will find its work partly done.
