tomorrow. If the amendments to
these sections should exhaust the time
before O'Clock, the committee amend
ments would be ruled out, and would
have to be inserted by the Senate.
Before the debate on the war revenue
bill was resumed in the House to-day,
an urgency war measure was presented
by unanimous consent to define the
limitations upon the purchase of Quar-
termasters' supplies during the exist
ing war with Spain.
Payne CR.) of New York, a member
of the Ways and Means Committee,
was the first speaker on the war reve-
nue. bill. He spoke of the necessity of
providing means to carry on the cam
paign against Spain, and urged the
immediate passage of the bill.
McMillin Cd of Tennessee criticised
some Of the internal revenue features
of the bill as especially onerous upon
the poor, and argued that the wealth
of the country should bear a greater
proportion of the war taxes He quoted
Secretary Gage as saying that $500
100000 was sufficient to prosecute the
war. AS there were now in the treas
ury $500, 600, 600. he contended that a
:
Hopkins (R) Of Illinois commended
the bill as the best that could be framed
to raise extraordinary revenues. Over
! S55,000,000 would be obtained from
beer and tobacco, articles of voluntary
! consumption. The remainder would
come, from tonnage taxation, and from
/ the stamp tax, which would fall main
/ ly upon the classes able to pay. The
/ bond feature of the bill had been urged,
+ he said, by the patriotic Administration
which was to prosecute the war. He
derided the income tax proposition of
/ the minority.
/ Representative Sherman moved that
when the House adjourned at tonight
I session it be to meet at 10 o'clock,
which was agreed to.
/ The committee then rose, and at 5:4O
o'clock took a recess until o'clock.
| The night session was occupied by
/ brief speeches, many Of them mere pegs
upon which members, under the leave
| to print, could hang speeches in the

! At 1870 p m. the House recessed un-
| til 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

ELKS IN BLACK.
Rehearsals For the Greatest Show
on Earth.

The rehearsals of the Elks are show
ing good results, and the boys say that
on Monday night they will present one
of the very best amateur performances
ever seen in Sacramento.
The number of fine vocalists in this
body is surprising, and they will present
all the latest comic and sentimental bal
lads in a manner peculiarly their own.
and when backed by the full chorus of
125 mems voices the effect should be
really grand.
A great many surprises are in store
for their friends, among them a quar-
tet of Sacramento ladies who will appear
in 'black face" and give plantation
songs till further orders. This is the
only talent outside the order that will
appear, and they are "our sisters, don t
you know
The living picture part Of the pro-
gramme will be the greatest effort ever
made on the local stage, and it should
be very funny to see staid citizens pos
ing as ''nigs"-after some celebrated
paintings.
The Elks wish it known that the only
tickets sold will be at the box office of
the Metropolitan Theater. and that they
have reserved no seats for themselves.
wishing to give all an equal opportunity
to see the minstrel performance of 1.-The
best people on EARTH The box office
opens at 8 a. m on Saturday.

SMELLING OF
MANTANzAS'
BATTERIES,
Continued from First Page.)

two S-inch shells were distinctly seen
to land squarely in the fort. It's dis
lance from the ship was SO great, and
the smoke, which the wind took in it's
direction, so thick, that it was hard to
judge the effect of the fire, and still
harder to get good aim.
For about five minutes Quintas Del
Recro got the full benefit of the port
broadsides Of the New York and Puri-
tan. What its ultimate fate would have
been is hard to tell. had not attention
been diverted from it by a shell from
Punta GOrda which whiZZed over the
New York and fell short of the Cincin-
natl.
Leaving Quintas Del Recro to the ten
der mercies of the Puritan, which was
still merrily banging away, Captain
Chadwick put his helm to starboard
until the port battery once more bore
on the Punta Gorda earthworks. An
other shell came from the shore, Whiz-
zing along the flagship
TOO high but a better shot than l
thought they could make" said an Off
Ger.
Then the Cincinnati and New York
poured shot into the yellow earthworks
anu Inc surrounding Iand unul the
smoke hid everything from view.
Only one more shot was noticed. 1t
fell short of the New York by about 200
yards. 1t was believed to come not from
the earthworks. but from a field bat
terry on the brow of a Slight hill about
half mile further inland than the
earthworks. In fact it is doubtful whe-
Their any shots were fired from the
earthworks after the two or three
brOadsides had been poured into them.
What become Of the soldiers seen on
Punta Gorda is not known. 1t is de-
clared they saw them running over The
brow of the hill where the field battery
was thought to be stationed. But this,
as we'll as the estimate of the enemy's
number, which ranged from 400 to
1000, was purely supposition, distance
and smoke preventing accurate know
ledge.

Butler introduced the following reso-
luton:
United States shall not be increased but
that the necessary means to carry on
the war against Spain should be raised
by increasing the revenues of the Gov
eminent, including a tax on incomes
and by issuing silver certificates
against the seigniorage now in the
treasury, and by such additional is
sues of United States legal tender
notes as may be necessary"

To improve Humboldt harbor Califor-

ORDERS TO TROOPS AT TAMPA
| TAMPA (Fla.), April 2S.-The news
of the bombartment of Matanzas by
RearAdmiral Sampson reached here
this afternoon, and soon afterward Col
onel M. A. Cochrane, commanding the
first provisional brigade of Tampa di-
vision, received a telegram from Wash
| ington instructing him to hold his
| command in readiness for immediate
departure, with rations for thirty days.
This is the first authentic information
regarding the future movements of the
troops here.
The Tampa division, embracing the
troops at this point and at Port Tampa,
have been divided into two brigades.
| Colonel Cochrane, the senior ranking
officer in the camp, has been appointed
commander of the First Brigade, and
Colonel John Poland, the next ranking
officer, to the Second Brigade. The
First includes the Fifth, Sixth, Ninth
and Thirteenth Regiments. The Sec
ond Brigade is composed of the Fourth
Seventeenth and Twenty-first Regi
mentS, these being what are termed
provisional brigades. The staff Off
GERS have not as yet been appointed.
! The order from Washington relating
to the movements of the First Brigade
referred to is being whispered about
among the officers in the rOtunda of the
hotel this evening. Although no definite
orders have yet been received, it is
predicted the Second Brigade will re-
| ceive a similar message from Wash
! ington within a few hours. Officers
here expect that all the troops now
stationed at Chickamauga will be here
in a few days. These troops consist
of $500 cavalry, ten batteries Of ar
tillery of 500 men, and $500 infantry,
or a total of 5000 men.
! 1t is we'll known that the much-dread-
ed rainy season on the island does not
set in for several weeks, and officers
believe that the purpose Of the army
and navy authorities in Washington
is to effect a juncture with the Cuban
army before that time, or else land
10000 or 1900 regular troops there
and make a rush upon Havana.

tanzas at the extreme inner end of the
funnel Back of the city sweeps
range of high hills, almost reaching the
dignity of mountains, each making
complete circuit of the funnel l went
to the top of these high hills, which
command a fine view of the harbor and
such defenses as existed, and later went
by train and by foot around the har-
Dor to get a general view of the situa-
ton. Only one fort was in existence
at that time, 1t was San. Saverno, at
the right of the entrance of the harbor
There were no shore batteries or de-
lenses at or adjacent to Matanzas, nor
were there any, so far as | could OBJ
serve on the left of the entrance to the
harbor
San Saverno is an old-time Spanish
fort, completely out Of date in point
of armament equipment. 1t is of ma
sorry, which has stood hundred years
or more, and at the best is only a small
affair. This was the only thing OBJ
servable in the way of a defense. There
We're no earthworks or blockhouse forts
at that time. They are in the habit
of throwing together small square
blockhouse and calling it fort, but
it has none of the characteristics of a
modern fertilization, and while good
enough to repel insurgent infantry and
cavalry would amount to absolutely
nothing against the big guns of war
ship. But even these had not been
started a month ago. Since then rough
earthworks may have been thrown up
hastily, but little could have been &C
complished in a month and certainly
no Notifications could have been erect
ed.
Il never heard of Fort Rubalcava,
mentioned in the report of the reduc-
ton of the defenses at Matanzas and
no such fort existed when l was there
a month ago. This may, however, be
one of the impromptu Notifications
which the Spaniards style forts. The
camps of reconcentrados are on the
sweep of the hills back of MatanZas,
and on the side opposite San Saverno.
There are two of these camps, one on
the highest ground, another further
down, where are huddled together the
poor Cuban sufferers.
Judging from my observations,
would not think the defenses of Matan-
zas could make a very stubborn fire,
or that their reduction would be a diff
cult task for our warships."
After talking with naval chiefs, Sem
ator Money concluded that the attack
on Matanzas was not a serious affair,
and he added the remark that, from
his observations, he believed a few of
the old smooth bores could knock to
pieces all the defenses MatanZas pos
sessed.

Spanish, arrived here safely this after
noon. The steamer Rathlin met the
ship off the south coast of Ireland and
