conduct the campaign in Cuba AID the
West Indian waters. The natural
conclusion, IL this promise is well
founded, would be that the Spaniards
are going to concentrate their en-
tire energies in the defense Of the
Philippines with the view of retain
ing them in the event peace is forced
upon them, by virtue of the principle
of international law which limits
victorious nation, in indemnifying
herself from the vanquished, to the
territory she actually occupies when
peace is declared. So the retreat of
the Spanish squadron from the West
Indies would be Insignificant, first, in
the danger it would place Dewey inn
mediately, and, second, in the hint IL
would convey that the Spanish mind,
for the time, contemplates the posi-
bilities of peace.

Attorney General of Kansas Will Try 20

properties shall be assessed for taxa
SION. Attorney General Boyle will
bring mandamus proceedings against
the Santa Fe, Rock Island, the Mis-
souri, Pacific and Union Pacific Railway
companies asking the supreme court
to compel them to report their rolling
stock on what is known as a mileage
basis. The Kansas City, Fort Scott G.
Memphis and NJ, X. & r. report al
the cars they own and the num-
Der of miles of road they own
and operate. They also report
their mileage in Kansas and the rail-
road assessors fix the value of their
property on this basis, called the mile
age basis. This system is in operation
in Missouri where all railroads COM
ply with it. The attorney general
says the state would get from 25 to 35
per cent. more taxes. from railroad
rolling stock il his contention in this
case should prove to Ice correct, which
would add nearly 100000 to the
state treasury.

Mr.. BreidenthaI Enters a Protest.

TOPEKA, Kan, May %. State Bank
Commissioner Breidenthal wired a
protest against that feature of the war
tax bill which levies tax on banks.
The proposed law levies tax of S1Oc
on each bank of $50, 900 and under and
So per 81, 900 on each additional $1,000.
Breidenthal advocates a tax of 50 a
$1,000 straight. There are $50 banks in
Kansas having capital of less than
$4,000 and Breidenthal says it is not
right to tax them as much as bank
having $50, 600 capital.

clusion of yesterdays session of the

the tax on proprietary articles, the
issue of greenbacks, the coinage of
silver seigniorage, the issue of silver
certificates, the inheritance tax and
the tax on corporations. Tho action
upon some of the amendments will be
dependent upon that on others.
Senator Daniel, of Virginia, deliv-
cred a speech strongly opposing an is
sue of bonds and supporting the sub
paragraphs proposed by the demo-
cratic majority of the finance commit
tee.
Upon the completion of the reading
of the bill, Senator Aldrich, of Rhode
Island, offered the bond provision and
the provision authorizing certificates
of Indebtedness as substitutes for the
sections of the bill reported by the
majority of the committee, providing
for the coinage of silver seigniorage,
the issue of silver certificates and the
issue of United States notes The bill
was then laid aside and the senate
went into executive session and short
ly afterwards adjourned until Monday,
