amendment including the census clerks
OF the supervisors and generators.
Mr.. Carter called attention to the fact
That majority of the clerks would be
women and boys and it would be ridiculous
TO apply the amendment to the clerical
force.
Mr.. Chandler said the amendment of
Mr.. Turpie had been accepted willingly
DuG TO make the same provision apply to
women and even Emale clerks would not
be proper. 1t would be absurd to COM
pei the directors of the census to make
such an investigation as was contem-
plated by the amendment, particularly
from the city of Washington.
Mr.. German of Maryland made brief
argument in favor of the amendment
maintaining that Congress ought to en-
deavor to make the taking Of the census
an entirely non-partisan proceeding.
After some discussion Mr.. Pasco with
drew his amendment and Mr. Carter
offered as a substitute for it, a provision
that all persons employed in the census
bureau be selected on account of special
fitness and without reference to their
political affiliations.
The substitute was agreed to. The bill
was then passed.
Mr.. Teller of Colorado, chairman OF
the committee on claims, called up the
the allowance of certain claims for stores
and supplies, reported by the court of
claims under the provisions of the act
approved March 8, 1888. known as the
Bowman aot''. Mr. Teller explained
that he would not press the bill to pas
sage today as he desired merely to read
it formally. AS it was $50 pages long,
the reading of it occupied considerable
time.
After the bill was read, a number of
amendments offered by Mr.. Teller on
behalf of the committee were adopted.
The Senate at 535 p. M, went into exc
cutive session and then adjourned.

NAVAL REVIEW FOR CAPT. ovlEDo'
Admiral Cervera's Chief of staff Was Civ
en- a Good Look at the North Atiant'c
Squadron.

On board the Three Friends. off San
tiago, June 4, via Port Antonio, June
s.-One of the naval experts on board
the flagship of the North Atlantlc
squadron told correspondent today that
the city of Santiago can be taken IN one
day after the arrival of the U. S. troops,
and this summary of the situation voices
the opinion of nearly all naval officers on
the 90 ships.
The officesr of the feet are still talking
OF the visit of Admiral Cervera's chief OF
staff to the flagship. 1t is generally con-
coded that it was a wonderful diplomatic
move on Admiral Cervera's part to put
himself in as good light as possible
with Admiral Sampson. before making
that surrender of the Spanish fleet which
he now sees is an inevitable necessity.
If the object of Capt. Oviedo's visit to
Admiral Sampson was to find out the
strength of the American feet his curl
osity was certainly gratified. While the
| Spanish captain was delivering to Admit
lal Sampson the courteous massage of
| Admiral Cervera and receiving the
equally courteous reply signal was
near the flagship.
The order was promptly obeyed, and
when Capt. Oviedo appeared on the deck
OF the New York to take his departure he
saw the Brooklyn, Texas, Iowa, Oregon,
New Orleans. Marblehead, Massachusetts,
Yankee and others in seemingly never
ending procession file silently by, their
grim guns backed by their crews, equal
ly silent and grim
1t was as impressive and striking q
thing as was ever done, and what emo.
ton besides admiration it wakened in
the breast of the Spanish officer can only
be imagined.
While. Capt. Oviedo was visiting the
flagship. there was on board a deiega-
ton of Cubans arranging for Garcia
cooperation with the American fleet.
Their presence was, of course, kept Sc.
cret from the Spaniard.

The President and navy department re-
ceived word from agents at Cadiz and
through the newspapers that the fleet
there was absolutely helpless, and could
not leave if it wanted to.
The rumored departure of this fleet

they heard of its helpless condition.
