Whenever the final vote is reached on the

TM house will not be in session tomorrow,

Memorial day. The consideration of the
Hawaiian annexation resolutions by the
house this week is possible, but not as
sured. Speaker Reed stands ready to give
the resolutions full right of way In the

to sending them first through the house and

posed to forcing the Hawaiian issue to the
front until the revenue bill is through the
senate. 1t is stated upon high authority
that other Republican members of the COM
mittee on rules are in accord with the
speakers position, Notwithstanding they
favor, as he does, the not annexing propo-
sition. Consideration of the resolutions
early in the week is not to be expected, and
consideration late in the week is improb-
able. There is still talk of Republican
caucus to consider the question, and one
may be held. The general deficiency bill
may be reported during the week, but ow-
ing to the development Of new demands
upon the war and navy departments, not
ably the former, incident to the war, the
bill may be withheld until nearer the close
of the session. The bill, so far as 1t relates
to ordinary deficiencies, has been ready six
weeks. Conference reports upon the sum

mittee An effort to pass the anti-scalp-

of minor Importance will be pushed mean

THE sHARPsHooTERs

The company of sharpshooters organ
lied by Captain Allan Kelly went to their
new range yesterday morning for practice
with the new 1910 rifles adopted by the
company. The ammunition used was the
smokeless powder. steel-bound Jacket
cartridges, supposed to be the most eff
fective ammunition in existence.
The morning practice was at 200 yards,
and the company showed a marked i'm
provement in their scores. Eleven out of
the thirty-flve members scored 80 per cent
CT over, and sixteen members upward of
70 per cent and under 80 per cent-a good
showing with new guns.
in the afternoon the 500 yard range was
tackled, and the sharpshooters realized
very speedily that they would have to look
to their guns more closely than had been
anticipated.
The 3O-4O rifle has three complete turns
in the rifiing of the barrel of the gun, as
against turn and half in the old style
rifles in the same length of barrel. The
new cartridges are loaded with smokeless
powder, which is found to burn much
hotter in the gun than the common black
powder, although much more effective in
driving power. Tie new steel Jacket on
the cartridges, driven at terrific speed
against the three rifles In the barrel Of the
gun, is bound to create heat unknown
in firing the soft lead bullet.

No Official News

WASHINGTON, May 29.-Secretary AL

hour this morning and on leaving he stated
that no official reports had been received
from the fleets and that he knew nothing
more positive than yesterday in regard to

at the war department in consultation with
General Miles regarding army matters.

cultivation Of the country. that work be-
ing the chief source of the wealth OF the
island.
The greater part of Garcia's army
leaves here at daybreak tomorrow.
notwithstanding General Garcia's bitter
complaint that he had been ignored, ana
that the restoration Of the Spanish civil
government of Santiago was most often
sive to him, and in consequence of all
this he had been forced to tender nis
resignation as a general in the Cuban
army. he is going on with his prepara-
tons for a contest with the Spanish
forces at Holguin and Manzanillo quite
as though nothing had happened.
DISBANDING HIS ARMY?
Tomorrow General Garcia will issue a
decree authorizing all Cubans who have
been driven from the plantations and
country homes by the Spaniards. and
who have taken refuge for safety in the
cities and towns, to return to the coun-
try and go to work or their farms and
plantations, assuring them of protection
by his forces. He has added like per-
mission to those in his ranks who were
recruited from the farm lands or were
employed in the fields at the outbreak
Of the war.
Altogether, it must be confessed that
General Carcia's attitude is inexplicable.
His permission to the men In his ranks
to go back to work on the farms is con-
strued to mean an effort to disband his
forces, but this may not be altogether
justified. 1t is certain a great many OF
them will continue to fight.
