around the squadron. The Concord
fired a few shots more or less as she
passed, but the other ships proceeded
silently towards Cavite.
When nearing Baker Bay, a sudden
GpheaVal Of the water occurred a lit
tie distance in from the leading ship
and quickly following this a. second
waterspout showed that the Spaniards
had fired a couple of torpedoes, but
their efforts to blow up the ships were
absolutely unsuccessful. Almost imme-
diately the guns in the Cavite battery
burst into a heavy cannonading. The
shells fell in the neighborhood of the
Olympia, but a majority of them fell
short and were badly aimed. The
squadron then drew nearer in toward
the Spanish fleet and battle began in
real earnest.
RISKED THE MINES.
The American ships entered by
the southern channel by Faballo
and Frisle Islets, which were fortified.
Commodore Dewey resolved to risk the
mines which were supposed to block
the channel. The island forts fired,
but not together. Replying with a few
shells. the squadron proceeded without
stopping or changing its course. The
order of the vessels was as follows:
Concord, Boston, Petrol, McCulloch,
Nanshan and Zeafiro and thus they
steamed to the center of the bay. They
passed before the city, seeking the
Spanish squadron and found them near
the entrance of Baker Bay, backed and
thanked by the Cavite forts with the
two torpedo boats and four gunboats
inside the mole. which served as pro-
lection, while the Reina Christina
Castillo, Don Antonio de Ulloa, Isle de
Cuba, Isle de Luzon and the mail boat
Mindanao were drawn up outside. The
Spaniards fired the first shot of 5000
yards but it was ineffective.
HAIL OF SHOT AND SHELL.
The American ships formed in col
umn line and steamed nearer. resery-
ing their fire until within 1000 yards.
They then passed backwards and for

front, pouring in a perfect hail Of shot

made tomorrow will of course be antago-
nized by a plain motion to concur. This
latter would take precedence over a mo-
ton to non-concur and would have to be
voted upon first, but the speaker has al
ready held this session that a motion to
concur with an amendment takes prece
dence over a motion to non-concur. 1t is
desirable, from strategic point of view,
that the first vote to be taken should be
on the proposition of the Republican lead
ers, and therefore the strong probability is
that this will be the motion. The debate
will not be long, and if necessary special
rule will be brought in to cut off embar-
RAISING amendments and motions.
If the resolutions should result in war;
the revenue measure agreed upon by the
Republicans Of the ways and means COM
mittee will be presented at once The

also be passed as soon as an opportunity

pears when the final reports are made to
the speaker in the morning. The speaker,
however. will hold that the resolutions as
amended do not have to go to the commit
toe hut a motion to concur or non-concur
is in order. This will bring the whole ques-
ton Immediately before the house. 1t has
NOT wet been decided whether the motion
shall be to non-concur, with a request for
a conference, or to concur, with an amend
ment striking out the recognition of inde-
pendence and perhaps making other slight
amendments in the other sections of the
senate resolution.
Tn the latter case the position of the
bouse would be definitely outlined and
might be more satisfactory to the radical
Republicans, who are suspicious of con-
ferences. But in either event, except in
the improbable one that the senate would
accept the house amendment without fur
ther action, the resolutions would go to
conference.
There has been considerable criticism of
the wording of the senate amendment to-
dav. General Grosvenor said the resolu-
tions which are to bear the inspection of
the world should at least be grammatical
and diplomatic" There is strong intima-
ton that delay is what is desired by those
opposed to war. in the hope Of some ac-
ton by the Spanish cortes. A hope is
expressed that Hit, chairman Of the for
eign affairs committee, who has been quite
Ill, but who is much better, will be able
to be in his place tomorrow. If Mr. Hit
is not able to be present Adams of Penn
sylvania and Qulgg of New York will be
the Republican conferees. Both are in
thorough sympathy with the administra-
ton and Speaker Reed. The motion to be

When the doors were closed the Ha-

to consider the McKenna nomination
and other nominations. An effort was
made to secure the confirmation of
Gen. Longstreet to be commissioner of
railroads, but Senator Vest made OBJ
lection to immediate action, and the
nomination went over until another
day. Mr. Vest did not state his OBJ

that they were not personal. The nom

in continuance of his opposition. He
produced numerous documents to sup
port his claim that Mr.. McKenna was
incompetent for the supreme bench.
Senator Allen had before him the
charges filed with the committee on
judiciary, which he read at length.
These comprised a large number of
letters. some resolutions and the pro-
test of lawyers and judges of the Pa
cific coast, charging that Mckenna is
unified for the high office of supreme
court Justice on the ground Of want of
legal attainments. He commented at

HILLMoN CASE CLOSED.
One Insurance Company Gives Up
the Long Fight.

Ine LOns lShts
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 2.-The famous
TIillmon insurance case, which has been
fought through five trials, was settled
tcday. so far as the claim against the
New York Life Insurance company is
concerned Hillmon was insured in this
company for s100o8, but upon what
basis the compromise was made cannot
be ascertained, as the attorneys on both
sides absolutely refuse to talk.
One report has it that Mrs. Hilimon
receives the full amount Of her claim of
SD, 900, and interest, amounting to SILL
000 When Insurance Commissioner
Webb McNall was apprised of the New
York Life's action in settling the Hill
men claim this afternoon. he promptly
granted it's attorneys a license for the
year almost passed and ending Feb. Is,
$685. and also for the next license year.
This, McNan said tonight, renders valid
any business the company may have
done the past year without license.
1t was their refusal to settle the Hill
mon claims upon which Insurance Com
missioner McNall based his action in
reyoking the licenses of the three In
