NEW YORK. March 15.-General P. II.

gratifed to get your letter of the 18th inst,
to the effect that you are likely to secure
for us five or six additional carloads of
shelled corn, nc'H, that we have secured for
larly glad of this because we have just been
cabled by MIR. klopsch, member Of this
committee In Havana, asking us to send
Immediately 500 tons of kiln-dried cornmeal.
We have made arrangements here with
prominent m.llers whereby we can exchange
shelled corn for meal the meal being de-
lvered to- us upon receipt of bills of lading
even before the grain arrives. This request
for 900 tons comes from Havana. If that
quantity Is needed in that city and prov
ince alone, we feel that 1000 tons or more
must be needed for the several other prov
inces. where destitution Is represented as
being worse than in Havana.
1t Is more than probable that we shall
have to resort to charterng a special
steamer or two, and the government has
sanctioned our doing so. Therefore, shalT

WASHINGTON, March 26.-During the
debate on the naval appropriation bill today
In the house every utterance for aggressive
action against Spain was applauded to the
echo by the crowded galleries. strong
effort was made to increase the appropria-
tion for the naval reserves, but 1t failed. An-
other effort to have the government buy
clothing for the naval mlit,a also failed.
The main contest of the day was over a
proposition to decrease the number Of tim
ber dry docks authorized by the bill from
four to three. 1t was led by Mr.. Cannon,
chairman OF the appropriations committee,
who made the motion to discuss the whole
question OF war preparations and to inveigh
against undue extravaganza. He was voted
down-7S to 107.
No point OF order was made against the
proposed timber docks, but Mr.. Cannon gave
notice that he would raise a point against
tho proposed steel dock at Algiers, La, on
the ground that a dock necessarily involved
in the future the establishment OF a navy
yard.
There was some further discussion Of the
relative merits Of large battleships and
house seemed almost equally divided. but
the paragraphs relating to the ships had not
been reached when the house adjourned.
"A special notice was sent to all
tho repuDllcan members or the mouse
this morning to be in their seats at
noon today. The leaders had decided
to bring in special rule to bring
the naval appropriation bill to vote II the
hlibustering Of yesterday was to be re-
sumed but as the democrats gave assurances
that the obstruction would not be continued
the plan Of bringing in a rule was aban-
doned.
Before the arrangement was approved
Mr.. Bailey (dem.) called attention TO
what he thought was an abuse OF the privi-
ege to print personal explanation given to
Mr. Pearson (rep.. N. c. Mr.. Pearson had.
he said. been accused Of abusing the frank
ing privilege OF the house, and under leave to
print had made the very matter frankable
which he had been accused OF improperly
franking.
Mr. Pearson maintained that he had not
abused the privilege granted him. He called
attention to the fact that some of the matter
printed was from a paper In which w. J.
Bryan was interested
