Americans who Have Seen Hard Fighting
with the Insurgents

Baltimore, Md, May 21.--Stuart Jan
ney and OsmOn Latrobe, the two
young society men of Baltimore and
graduates of John Hopkins who have
returned here after two years eN-
perience In the Cuban army. had some
very interesting adventures while
there. They landed from the Three
Friends. We're seven days in finding
the insurgent camp, during which time
three of thor party died from exhaus-
tlon and all hands narrowly escaped
being ambushed and shot by the peo-
pie they came to assist. What hap
pened after that is partially told by
Captain Janney as follows:
1--WE were taken back into the noun
t1ins," said he, land our party as
signed to places with Garcia's COM
mand. which consisted Of probably
$500 or 5000 men. We two were as
signed to a battery and stayed in the
artillery till about nine months ago.

Brig. General Collosda's staff. w,
found that in the mountains nearly all
the insurgents Were negroes and COM
manded by negro officers. but that in
the central parts OF the island the
troops were all white and commanded
by white officers. We noticed that
when a negro officer was killed or died
that white man was always appoint

Icy of the insurgeut government Is 10

Washington. May 2O-The Senate
committee on finance finds 1t necessary
to make additional amendments to the
war revenue bill before proceeding far
Their with the measure and adjourn
ment of the Senate will be taken at the
close of tOdHy's session until Monday
in order to allow the committee to de-
vote the entire day tomorrow on this
work.
A session of the committee was held
today. hut there was not sufficient time
to reach a conclusion.
There is no division on party lines
on most OF the changes required, as
they are largely of n technical char
acter.
The most important change which
has been urged and which now seems
likely to be nmde is that of altering the
tobacco schedule 1t looks as "a the
House rate OF II cents n pound would
be restored on manufacturers tobacco
and II there could he n change In
the schedule as 1t affects cigarettes
There are some technical errors to be
corrected in schedule s, regarding
proprietary medicines.
The question raised here Is as to the
time the stamp should he aillNed and
there is much difference of opinion on
this point. There Is also a desire to
have mutual life insurance companies
exempted from some of the require
ments OF the provision regard to insur-
ancc ORGANIZATIONS and movement to
restore the House provisions relating
to building and loan associations.
It Is probable other matters will be
considered at tomorrow's meeting.
