REcoNoENTRADoEs DEAD.
The Situation at Havana j. Said To Re
Ritiable.

Copyright 1898 by the Associated Press.
Key West, Fla, May 15-The conditions
in Havana, resulting from the blockade.
are being gradually brought out by in.
formation obtained from fishing snaoks
and other small vessels captured Off the
coast.
Affairs at Havana now appear to be
worse than at any time since the Wevler
regime. The fishermen. who at first
braved the blockade for the high price
which fish brought in Havana, now run
the risk not for money, but for the food
which they obtain from the sea. A NUM-
her of these men have been captured at
different times by various vessels of the
blockading fleet. nearly all of them being
reIeased after having been questioned by
our officers. They all unite in picturing
the statesof things at Havana as being
pitiable sir,the extreme. The Associated
Press dispatch boat Kate Spencer, has
blockadiag dine, the latest news being OBJ
tanned through two captures Haae BY the
United States gunboat Maohiasiw which has
inst returned here for the first time since
The blockade opened, making the longest
service Of any blockading vessels off Cuba.
The Machias caught two fishing boats
off Havana, Just before her return hare.
Thew Americans offered the fishermen
money for part of their fish, as the fish
were needed on board. But the fishermen
demurred at taking money, saying they
preferred to have bread, and adding that
they were desperately hungry.
When questioned as to the prevalence of
yellow fever at Havana, the fishermen
said there was little sickness at the Cuban
capitol. but. they added, there was much
starvation, the reconcentradoes, they said.
are nearly ali dead or have been expelled
from the city to die in the suburbs. This
agrees with other reports from Havana,
and Matanzas, to the effect that the
Spanish authorities on the departure of
the American consul seized all the relief
supplies and applied them to the uses of
the army. The Spaniards then drove the
reooncentrados into the desolated sections
of the country, between the coast towns
and the insurgent lines, the regions de-
scribed by Senator Proctor and others as
being too barren and desolate to support
grasshoppers.
In Matanzas this feature of the situation
is equally distressing.
The fishermen who have been brought
here are mostly soon reconciled to capture
which means food and decent treatment
They say that IL the blockade continues
much longer bread riots must follow in
all the large towns. Finally, the f1she r
men say that certain of the most desper-
ate of the Spaniards threaten to burn Ha-
vana or blow the city up in the event Of
the authorities deciding to cap1tulate to
the American forces.

TAKERS HAVE INNINGS.
Loquacious Senator's TO Discuss War
Revenue Bill.
WEI WANT TWO WEEKS OR MORE
TO AIR IDEAS.

propos,tSop 10 Restore Bond Issue CIanss
VIII Probably Prevail in the End-The
Entire Financial On estion InvoIved
TO an Extent
Washington, May l5.-The war revenue
bill will occupy the attention of the Sen.
ate this week almost to the exclusion of
other business, land there is no probabili-
ty that the bill can be disposed Of during
the week, The Indications are for a two
weeks debate and there is no assurance
that it will be concluded within that
period OF time. Thesopnonents of the bill
disayow any intention TO unnecessarily
idelay the Perfection IL This legisla ton !;
but they do not conceal .their purpose of
taking time to presentltheir views on the
various questions involved and it looks as
If it would be impossible for them to do
this within less time than two weeks.
The principal portion of the debate will
be on the report of the Republican mem.
bers OF the committee in favor of restor-
ing the bond provisions. The probabilities
are that this proposition will prevail if
the war continues, but before vote can
be reached upon 1t. there will be great
deal Of talk for nd against 1t.
4 The entire financial question will be in
volved to an extent, and probably most of
the Senators who opposed the bond issue
will be heard before the conclusion of the
discussion. The Republican Senators
generally are averse to a prolonged dis
oussion, but the Democrats and Silver
Republicans say it will be necessary for
them to explain and defend their position.
Senators Allison will open the debate
on Monday with statement on behalf of
the Republican members of the committee
on finances and he will be followed by
some Democratic members of the COM
mittee, probably Sen ator Jones' Beyond
this there is no data upon which to base
statement Of the probabilities. 1t is quite
certain, however, that there will be no
dearth Of speechmaking nor of speech
makers.

REMENYi FELL DEAD.
Great Artist Played Old Glory As It Was
Never Played Before just Before End
Came.

San Francisco, May 15.-Edouard
Remenyi, who has held royalty enchanted
and has enthralled fashionable audiences
all over the world, fell dead this after
noon at the Orpheum theatre in this city.
It was Remenyi's first appearance in this
city on the vaudeville stage. AS the artist
appeared and was greeted with tumutuous
applause, he bowed his acknowledgment
and seemed immensely pleased at the re-
ception given him. He had played two or
three classical pieces, and had answered
to an encore with the most familiar sold
Glory Remenyi played as If inspired. 1t
seemed as If he knew this was to be the
elimination of his career and he had de-
termined that his final appearance should
mark his great est triumph. He rose to
the occasion magn1tieently and MS S,0oO
auditors, as Remenyi approached his
climax, literally rose with him, leaving
their seats in their excitement, complete
" carried away by his achievement.
When the music ceased the house was
swept with torrent of braves The ap.
plause was almost deafening and con.
tinued for several minutes. Remsnyi and
his accompanying e. S. Rosner. came
forward and in response to another burst
of applause, the great Remenyl COM
menoed to play ''delbes Fizzicati." He
had just completed few barts of the
difficult lingering when he leaned forward
as if to speak to one of the musicians in
the orchestra, continuing his piece. He
seemed to pause for a moment and then
slowly fell forward on his face. One of
the musicians caught him just before he
touched the stage and prevented him
from rolling off. He was carried from the
stage and physicians were Immediately
summoned, but the aged musician was
past medical aid. The doctors worked
upon him for some time, but their efforts
were futile.
Remenyi had seemed overwhelmed at
the great reception given him. After
playing his first Selection he said to q
friend behind the stage:
''Wonderful; wonderful audience;
wonderful; great people.
His playing Of :a"Old Glory" was truly
enchanting. His instrument seemed to
speak. The expression was marvellous.

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
This the Proposition House Will Consider
This Week.

Washington, May 15.-The most notable
event in the House proceedings of the
present week,.will be the introduction of
the resolutions providing for the annexa-
ton of Hawaii. The committee on foreign
affairs, decided to report favorably the
resolutions and will do SO probably on
Tuesday. A very large majority of the
Republicans and, 1t is claimed, fifteen
Democratic members favor the proposition
and would like to take immediate action,
but consideration will be postponed like
those who oppose immediate considera-
tion that the passage of the resolution
now, would complicate the situation as
respects the revenue bill and would delay
greatly the passage of the latter. Speaker
Reed and Representative Dingley are op-
posed to annexation as proposition, and
the latter is especially opposed to passage
of the measure before action upon the
revenue bill is taken.
On Wednesday the banking and cur
rency committee will present, pursuant
to the vote concluded Saturday, gen.
eral banking and currency bill, but 1t is
understood that 1t will not be considered
this week. Final action upon any cur
rency measure at this session seems i'm
probable. Of the appropriation bills in
conference, some progress has been made
upon the sundry civil and post Office
measures and one or both may be re-
ported, though there is disposition to
delay them in conference until the reve-
nue. bill is well under way in the Senate
The House committee is practically ready
to report the general deficiency bill and
may bring it in this week. A bill to
establish a non-partisan labor commission
10,
ing appropriate legislation affecting
labor, may be considered this week. The
prospect for generous treatment of local
bills is good.
