ate and direct cause of his death

Chickamauga Park, Ga, April 3d.
Two companies of the Ninth (coloreD
cavalry which arrived in Chattanooga
late this afternoon were stopped after
having started to Chickamauga and
switched into the Western and At
lantic yards. Orders are said to have
been received to have the troops pro-
coed as rapidly as possible to Tampa,
Fla, to which point troops from Mo-
bile have also been ordered.
The shipment of the Ninth cavalry
following the sudden departure of two
batteries Of artillery for Tampa has
produced a fever of excitement among
the soldiers.
Chattanooga, Tenn, April 29.-It is
now positively known that all of the
Ninth cavalry, the Twenty-fourth in
fantry and the entire eight batteries
of artillery now centered at Chicka-
manga will leave for the South as soon
as they can be loaded on to the cars
which are in readiness for them. By
tonight it is thought all the trains will
be on their way to Tampa.

SHOW MUCH CONCERN.

Foreign Governments Don't Like
the Tonnage Tax Feature of the
War Bill.
Washington, April 30.-Foreign gov
ernments, through their representa-
tiyes in Washington arae beginning to
show much concern over that feature
of the war tariff bill now before con-
gress which increases the tonnage tax
on transatlantic shipping to 70 cents
per ton. 1t is said this Increase is
about 500 per cent, the present rate
being about three cents per ton and
that nearly the entire burden of the
500 per cent increase falls upon the
trans Atlantic shipping of Great Brl-
tain. Germany, France and one or two
other commercial nations. Thus far,
however. no cial action has been
taken on the subject by foreign nations
and it does not seem likely that such
official action is possible as the heavy
tonnage tax is considered a war eN-
pedient which foreign shipping must
bear so long as athey use American

Washington, May 3.-An open, freely
expressed opinion by naval officers is
that the decisive victory of Admiral
Dewey's fleet will mean an early end
to the war, without naval battles of
Importance. The American fleet, it is
suggested, is now supreme in the wa
tiers of SPANS Pacific possession, and
indications were strongly towards the
slipping of the Philippines from her
control.
1t was said that only by quickly
yielding to our demands in Cuba could
this loss possibly be averted. Spain, it
was argued, was confronted with a
situation which promised naught save
disaster in case she elected to force
more fighting. The superiority of a
superior fleet has been demonstrated
in the Pacific and the same, it is con-
tended, would be inevitable in the At
lantic in case the clash comes. From
whatever point of view considered,
the policy of more fighting upon the
part of Spain promises nothing but
more Spanish misfortune. Navy Of
ticerS say this must prevail with the
Spanish government and believe that
an end of war, upon the basis of Gu
ban independence, is to follow soon,
and that, too, without further notable
opportunity for the American navy
To Prove Its Power
and distinguish itself. In official cir
cles it is regarded as almost certain
that trouble OF a most critical kind
will confront the Sagasta government
within SPANS own borders. 1t is
pointed out that the Spanish people
have been led to believe that their
navy invincible and the bitter disap-
pointment that will ensue over the re-
suit of the first engagement is likely to
precipitate internal dissension if not
a revolution.
Another result OF Admiral Dewey's
victory, it is thought, may be action on
the part of the powers to induce Spain
to abandon what is regarded as a hope
less contest for her. Representations
may be made to Spain that she would
better relinquish her hold upon Cuba
than to risk losing all of her West IN
dian possessions and the Philippines
as well. 1t is believed to be not I'M
likely that the representations will III
dictate that, since Spanish honor has
been satisfied by a conflict, Spain can
now yield to the inevitable and accept
the good offices Of the powers to bring
about an adjustment

st. Paul, April 2S.-The New York
Heralds special to the Pioneer Press
from Key West, Fla, says:
Admiral Sampson bombarded, 81
fenced and pretty well destroyed the
Spanish batteries in position and in
course Of construction at the entrance
of the harbor of Matanzas. He did it
with the flagship New York, the mont
tor Puritan and the cruiser Cincinnati.
Not one of the American ships was
struck, the Spanish gunnery being
wild. l have no means of knowing
the the number Of dead and wounded
on the Spanish side. 1t must be con-
siderable. While the New York, Puri-
tan and Cincinatti were accommodating
in force for the purpose of locating
and DESTROYING the formidable de
lenses being constructed the flagship
was fired on by these batteries on
Point RubaI Cava and Point Maya,
guarding the entrance to the harbor.
The New York instantly replied with
her forward eight-inch gun on the
port side and steamed boldly in be-
tween the batteries and was soon
blazing. away

hind the New York and engaged the
fertilization on Point Maya, while the
New York went to starboard, close
I'D to land and poured her shells into
Rubal Cava. The Cincinnati, which
had remained we'll astern under or
ders, signalled for permission to en-
cage. received it, and soon was firing
her guns at the fort on the west size
of the bay. The batteries fired eX-
plOsiye shells and most OF them Tell
wide of the mark. One burst just be-
.yond the stern of the New York and a
schrapnel shot exploded above her. 1t
took the three ships just eighteen min
utes to silence the batteries. Ihe last
shot fired by the Spanish came from
Point Rabal Cava. The Puritan re-
piled with one of her tWelVe-lncn
guns. The shell struck the battery
with wonderful accuracy and DleW up
a portion of it. After waiting Tor the
Spanish to renew the engagement the
ships withdrew, leaving both batteries
in ruins.
All the ships engaged showed excel
lent craftsmanship throughout the en-
gagement, and when they were firing

were bombarded were on low lying

tons of the forts could be seen flying

returned to Havana and the Clnclh-
natl and Puritan were left on Matan-
