The Armenian massacres are an example of the kind of ques- tion which might at some moment pro duce a common feeling among the re- ligious people of the British empire and of the United States, which might lead to common action, even of a military kind But here again there seems little prospect of a general or standing war alliance arising out of such action. The main tie between the two peoples, or the two sections of one people, in whichever light we prefer to consider them, has hitherto been lit erary and religious; and the tie of lit erature, producing the existence upon both sides of the Atlantic of the same ideas is. perhaps on the whole increas- ing rather than diminishing in strength.

THE NAVAL BILL.
The House Rejects the Conference Com
mittee's KepOrt-Tbe Sundry Civil BILL
Sent to Conference.

WASHINGTON, May 2. Saturdays res.
sion Of the house was devoted chiefly
to the reconsideration Of the report
upon the naval appropriation bill, pre-.
scented by Chairman Boutelle. The
report was rejected after three hours
OF debate, and further conference will
follow. The only ground upon which
the fight against the report was made
was found in the senate amend
ment to compensate naval officers
for government use Of their inven.
tons, and authorizing them to have
their claims for such compensation
adjudicated In the court Of claims.
Mr.. Boutelle led the support Of the
amendment, and Messrs. Cannon and
Sayers the opposition. A resolution,
introduced by Mr.. Cannon, insisting
upon eliminating the amendment, was
adopted, l1S to AZ, and the naval bill
was again sent to conference,
Mr.. Cannon, from the committee on
appropriations, reported to the house
the sundry civil bill with senate
amendments, with recommendation
that the house non-concur. The house
non.concurred and a conference com.
mittee was appointed.
The house passed the bill providing
for the organization Of naval battai-
ion to consist Of not more than four
companies In the District OF Columbia.

WASHINGTON, April 2s.-When Presi.
dent Mckinley orders United States
troops TO Cuba it will be for the pur.
pose Of raising the United States flag
temporarily over the island. This is
made evident and is as good as officially
confirmed by proclamation that is
about to be issued to Gen. Gomez and
the insurgent army over the signature
Of T. Estrada Palma, delegate from
the republic OF Cuba TO this country,
and Gonzales de Quesada, secretary Of
the junta In New York. This proclama-
ton, It is said, will urge the insurgents
to place themselves under the stars and
stripes as soon as the American colors
shall be raised on Cuban soil and
to have absolute confidence In the fair
intentions Of President Mckinley and
his administration. The resolutions
adopted by congress translated into
Spanish form part Of the important
paper and 1t will be pointed out that
congress declares 1t is not the purpose
Of the United States to acquire the
island; that on the contrary It's only
object in intervening Is to establish
peace and an independent government
for and by the people of Cuba, and
that this can be best accomplished in
the manner devised BY our govern.

MAY NOT BoMBARD AT PRESENT.
WASHINGTON, April 20. Officials ut
the navy department reply with sim
pie smile Of discredit to the frequent
suggestions that come through the
newspapers Of wholesale lombard
ment Of the Cuban coast by Adm.
Sampson. The apparent lack Of any
sufficient purpose and the very poor
strategy involved in any such action
is said to be sufficient to dismiss ct
once any such stories as mere Pigments
OF imagination. Indeed, 1t can be
stated on as good authority as can be
obtained In such time as this that
there is no intention on the part OF
the government to lombard any Cuban
ports ct present, II at all, and certainly
no such move will be made until the
feet Is reinforced by the transports
carrying troops enough to hold any
advantageous position ashore that it
might win.

800 wagon mules and 500 pack mules.
The order stated that the animals

1t to be inferred that they are to be

is borne out by the fact, array officers
here say, that small horses are pre-
ferred by Cuban soldiers for cavalry.
