 Baltimore, Md, May 1S.-Captain Wood of the British steamship Els wick, which arrived here from Huel- van, reports that he had an eventful experience in that Spanish port. He arrived there on April g to take on a cargo Of 3,20O tons of sulphur for Bal timore. Public sentiment was run ming high against America and Amer jeans and he gave it out that his cargo was destined for Rotterdam. He had loaded 3,200 tons by April 2, when he thought discretion the better par. of valor and weighed anchor.
 When the Spaniards found I was going to the United States" said Cap tain Wood, they became wild with rage and refused to put another pound of cargo into the ship. A mob came down to the dock and began rioting They were armed with sticks and stones as well as big knives. They expressed their hatred for English men as much as for Americans, and declared they would destroy my shiI and all aboard. I decided to get away as soon as possible.

Associated Press Day Report]
 Washington, May 18.-The safety of the Oregon is now well nigh assured. and there is reason to believe that the department was informed today that she had joined Sampson's fleet. though no official admission on this point could be made. It is believed that the big battleship left Bahia on the night of the 10th, or the morning of the 11th. The same average speed made on the way around the horn would place her in the Windward pass today.
 If this belief is we'll founded, the department will be relieved of great load of apprehension, and it will be able to proceed at once to prosecu- tion of the plan of campaign that was very desirable but impossible of exc cution as long as the safety of the Oregon was at stake.
 Secretary Long this afternoon said: 'It can be stated positively and off, cially that the Oregon is safe but it cannot be properly made known where she is.

THE QUARTERMAsTER's BILL


 Washington, May 18.-When the senate, on the motion of Senator Flaw ley, went into secret session today on the quartermaster's bill, MT. Hawley read letter from General Flagler, chief of the bureau of ordnance, re- auesting that authority be given for the purchase of ordnance without waiting to advertise, saying that such delay might at times be of very seri- ous consequences. The letter was not notable in any respect, except that it was an official acknowledgement of the fact that there were still many articles to be secured for the equip ment of the army and that expedition is considered necessary in securing them.
 The reading of the letter led to a brief discussion of the status of mili- tary operations, and some impatience was expressed regarding the delay ir getting the military expedition to tho Philippine islands.
 Senator Lodge made a brief speecf on this point, expressing a hope tha | if the passage of the bill would 'expe dite in any wise the movement of thi force, it would be put through with out any further delay whatever. H' referred to tbe battle of Manila as tn

 Washington, May 1S.-The feature Of today's session of the senate was the speech of MT. Turpie, democrat of Indiana, upon the war revenue meas ure. He strongly contended that a bond issue was unnecessary; that all the funds required for the prosecution of the war could be raised through the proposed inheritance tax, by tax on corporations, by the coinage of silver seigniorage and by the issue of legal tender notes.
 These four means of obtaining money would yield to the government during the next year, he maintained, fully $3OO.OOO. .OO0. an amount in excess of the estimated sum necessary for the conduct of the war. Considerable progress was made in the reading of the bill.

A Disclosure Refuting Spain's Allegation That the Autonomy Scheme Would Have Succeeded But for Inter-

Washington, D. C., May 18.-(Spec- ial. )-Amid all the stirring events which have lately agitated the country and marked the rapid progress of the war, there is one point held steadily in view by the administration, and that is the ultimate danger of interna- tional complications. AS one official puts it, Spain Is a percussion cap, and Europe Is a powder magazine There is no fear of any present attempt at intervention by the European powers, at leash not with the United States; they must for some time at least di- rect their efforts to Spain. But the immense possibilities of international troubles complicating the settlement of peace with Spain are giving much concern. That Is why all our prepara- tions for landing our troops om for eign soil are being made with so much deliberatdon and caution, so as to avoid any chance of a repulse or setback. That is why all the significant acts
 of unfriendliness from both France l and Germany are studiously ignored for the time being. But a record is
 being kept of them.
