Soon the Porter rushed along side the

Senate.

Washington, June 4.-The senate re-
sumed consideration of the war revenue
measure.
Mr.. Morgan (Ala.) offered an amend
ment requiring the secretary of the
treasury to proceed with the collection
of taxes under the provisions of the in
come tax law of 1894, not directly re-
pealed by the Dingley bill. If the secre-
tary of the treasury should refuse to
levy taxes under the law, the amend
ment provides 1t shall be the duty of the
attorney general to proceed against the
secretary of the treasury to compel him
to perform his duty, and If the attorney
general should refuse to take that ac-
tion, any tax payer may bring the nec-
essary action to compel the enforce
ments of the law. Senator Morgan
said, full opportunity was presented by
his amendment to have the question
which it involves settled by the Su-
prcme court. Senator Morgan's amend
ment was rejected by vote of IS to
3S.

Mr. Turley Dem. Tenn offered an
amendment levying an excise tax of one
fourth OF per cent upon the gross re-
ceipts Of transportation firms, companies
or corporations doing an interstate busi-
ness between any state and foreign
country. The amendment also placed
the same excise tax upon telegraph and
telephone companies sending messages
from one state or territory to another.
The amendment was rejected by a vote
of "a to SO.
The senate has adopted an amend
ment to the war revenue bill providing
for tax of one cent on every berth in
sleeping cars and seats in Palace cars
sold, as substitute for Senator Whites
amendment, levying tax Of one fourth
OF one per cent on the gross receipts OF
sleeping car companies.
The senate has also adopted an amend
ment, requiring mixed or adulterated

CORK DRIVEN IN.
Naval Officers in Washington Satisfied the
Collier Merrimac Was Sunk in Entrance
to Santiago de Cuba Harbor
by Design,

Washington, June 4. Up to $3.50
O'Clock no news had reached the Navy
department concerning the sinking of
the Merrimac. She was an old and use
less vessel and the department thinks
she was sent in to block the channel
and thus block up Cervera. The fact
that the crew was composed of only
eight men instead of 40, confirms this.
The department does not believe fight
occurred.
The Bottle COrked.
1.-The cork is driven into the bottle, .
was the comment of the naval officers at
the Navy department this morning upon
-raeaidng the news of the sinking of the
-colI1er Merrimsesin che channel at the
entrance to Santiago de Cuba harhor
They are absolutely satisfied that the
ship was sent in by design by Admiral
Sampson to close the channel and
prevent the escape of the Spanish
squadron and that the undertaking was
successful. If so, it will rank as one of
the boldest achievements In naval
history. 1t is not possible now to learn
who made up the crew destined to be-
come famous. There Is no doubt, how
ever, that at least two OF the officers of
the Merrimac were aboard, namely,
Commander j. M Miller, of Missouri,
and Assistant Engineer r. X. Crank. of
Texas.
Only One Hobson Listed.
The only Hobson in the list of officers
in the naval registry is Richard p. Hob
son, naval constructor, who is a lieuten-
ant of junior grade. He entered the
navy from Alabama.

Dauntless, off Santiago June 4, via
Kingston, June 4.-Rear Admiral Samp-
son, Friday morning, decided to close
the narrow harbor entrance to San
tiago de Cuba by sinking the collier
Merrimac, loaded with coal, in the
channel He called for volunteers to
90 to almost certain death and 1000
men offered themselves. Lieutenant
Hobson and seven men were chosen, and
at in the morning, Friday, the Merri-
mac, under her own STERN, entered the
channel under terrible fire. The yes
sci was riddled with projectiles, but an
chored and swung around Lieutenant
Hobson then set off an internal torpedo
with an electrical attachment. There
was an explosion, the Merrimac sank,
and the channel was closed. Apparent
" Admiral Cervera will be unable to
escape.
The Crew Taken on Board Spanish Ship.
Copyright by Associated Press-Kings-
ton, Jamaica, June 4.-Lieutenant Hob
son and hero crew of the Merrimac were
saved in the following manner:
Unable, after sinking their vessel, to
make their way back through the storm
of shot and shell, they rowed into the
harbor to the Spanish flagship and were
taken on board unarmed. The Span
ish admiral, under a flag Of truce, on
Friday sent word to the American ad-
miral that he offered to exchange the
prisoners, adding that meanwhile Lieu
tenant Hobson and party would be
treated with the greatest kindness.
The Channel Cleared Again.
Copyright by Associated Press-Port
au Prince, June 4, $3.50 a. m.-Further
news received from Santiago de Cuba
confirms the report that the lombard
ment DIT that place began at 3 o'clock
Yesterday morning. After the action
the Spaniards blew up with dynamite
the Collier Merrimac, sunk in the chan
mel by the Americans, and have since
been clearing the channel so as to, in
all probability, permit Admiral Cervera's
feet to put out to sea should the Cadiz
squadron, under Admiral Camara, ar
rive In Cuban waters to relieve the block
AIDED ships.
Meanwhile the dispatches from San
tiago dc Cuba say that the Spaniards
pay tribute to the audacitysof the Amer
leans in so cleverly attempting to block
ade the channel. According to the
Spaniards it would be foolishness upon
the part of the Americans to attempt to
force the harbor entrance, which is de-

THE COMPILED LAWS OF 1897.
First Glass Work in Every Respect The
Compilation Was Greatly Needed.
(Lordsburg Liberal. J

NAAoAuSDuLE A<AuCEuI.I
AS will be remembered the last legis-
lature provided for a compilation of the
laws Of New Mexico, and made provi-
sion for the printing of the laws. This
work has been done, and by proclamation
of Governor Otero it Is provided that the
new compilation should be received in
all courts of the territory as the laws of
the territory from and after May 20.
The work of the cOmpilers is said to be
very we'll done, but of that the Liberal
is not an expert. The printing and
binding, howevers it knows something
about, and that II can say is frst-class,
In fact 1t is far superior to similar work
done in the government printing Office
at Washington. The only thing about
the work that the Liberal does not APP
preciate is that no mplimentary
copies are sent to the various news
papers. The legislature provided that
the only complimentary copies should
be 36, and they should be absorbed by
the members of that legislature. The
price of the book is $3.50, and the law
requires that every territorial and coun-
ty officer shall provide himself with a
copy. This will bring back into the
treasury about the amount of money
expended In printing the books. Amy
private citizen is privileged to buy a
copy. The compilation was greatly
needed, as the last compilation was out
of print, as were many of the session
laws. Up to the time this compilation
was provided for, complete file Of the
session laws and the old compilation
was worth about $50, and is now worth
nothing. The Liberal had complete
file, excepting those of one session, so
in addition to paying for copy of the
new laws it sees some $45 worth of its
property become valueless. Notwith-
standing this it is glad the new books
are out, for in using one of them great
deal of valuable time is saved

San Francisco, June 4.-So far as
given out, the second expedition to the
Philippines will consist of the 1st Colo
RADIO and the 10th Pennsylvania volun-
teer infantry regiments; lst battalion,
18th U. s. infantry; 1st battalion, 23d
U. S. infantry, and two light batteries
of the Utah volunteer artillery. The
orders to the colonels of the regiments
are to have their commands in readi
ness to depart by Tuesday next. A dis
patch was received from Senator Thurs
ton, stating that the secretary of war
had instructed General Merritt to in
clude Nebraska in the second expedi-
ton. Should the Nebraska regiment
receive orders to 60, the number in the
will be 1857, which will tax
the capacity of the transports China,
