NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
RUMOR.

The Bee stated last week from the
rumor that was circulated that gen
tleman on 10th street an ex-police.
officer was responsible in Connection
with two other persons for the report
circulated about an alleged raid on
T street. In justification of this
gentleman, who stands above reproach
in the city, THE BEE upon investlga
tion has ascertained beyond all doubt
that he was in no way responsible
nor did he know anything about any
raid for several days after the rumor
had been circulated, and then he
made no comment whatever In con-
nection with the unfortunate affair.
The BEE has no desire whatever to
injure anv one or cast suspicion on
any ones honesty or integrity. THE
BEE makes this unqualified correction
becaues a gross injustice has been
done the person in question. THE
BEE will make every effort in its pow
er to find out who was responsible for
this report, because all parties con-
cerned are entitled to it.

THE WAR BILL.

BY vote of Isl yeas against 129
nays the House passed the Dingley war
revenue bill at Cos o'clock yesterday
and authorized bond issue of 5000, 000,-
900. Although practically the same in
purpose and verbiage, the bill that
passed was not the measure that has
been under consideration since Wed.
nesday morning. When at 4 o'clock
the committee of the whole House
arose, according to agreement, for q
final vote, Chairman Dingley offered
substitute bill, which had not been
submitted to the minority of the
WAYS and means committee, which mad
not been considered by the House at
all, but which embodied certain amend
rents the wsvs and means committee
had in ;ts wisdom eeen fit to append
This bill passed without dshete. There
was no time for debate. OF course the
substitute bill diaered only in technical
particulars from the original measure,
but the scheming, srbitEary mSnner OF
its introduction and passage furnished
a forcible illustration OF tbs TACTICS en-
ploysd by the majority In ignoring the
minority.
Four republicans voted with the
democrats aud populists on this vote.
But on the 6nai passage of the bill.
which was carried, Isl to ISL, the
democrats and populists, with six ex.
Geptions, voted solid; in opposition.
The democrats who voted for the bill
were Representatives Cummings, Nc
C!elian and Griggs, of Tsw York: Fitz-
gerald, o. Massachusetts; McAleer, of
pennsylvania, and Wheeler, of Ala.
bama: Two republicans, Representa-
tlves Linney, OF North Carolina. and
Thorp, Of Virginia, voted with the o.
position. Quite number of democrats |
declined to vote.

Shots EXCHANGED.

KEY WEST, Fla, April 3O.-10;SO a.
m.-The torpedo boats Porter and
Ericsson were scouting close to the
coast last night when a small battery
about ten miles west of Mariel opened
fire on them with rapid.ire guns. The
torpedo boats withdrew aud notified
the flagship, which was cruising slowly
in westerly direction. The New
York promptly returned the fire, send
ing in about twelve shots from her six
and eight inch guns. The batteries
ashore made no response. The firing
was by no means in the nature of q
bombardment.
Another dispatch says: SIN answer
to volley fires from Spanish cavalry on
shore at Csbanas, thirty-eight miles
vest of Havana, last evening, the New
York sent eleven shells in the direction
of the Spaniards The enemy'5 fire
was silenced after the first shot. The
Spaniards would not have been fired on
hadlthey not provoked the attack"

Southampton, after rough passage Of
seven days, seventeen hours and forty
FIVE minutes. Capt Watkinskept about
thirty miles north of the usual course
taken in previous trips. He had no
fear, he says, that Spanish war vessel
would catch his fleet steamer after she
got sea room. At night every light on
board of the Paris was extinguished,
dead lights were covered and strict
watch was maintained. The steamer
Majestic was sighted on April Is and
on the same day freight steamer was
passed. Nothing else was seen on the

A Reign ofTerrOr.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, April 30.-Ad-
vices from Santiago de Cuba are that
on Saturday last Pombo, commandante
general of that division, proclaimed
that every man between Is and 80 must
volunteer in the Spanish service under
penalty OF arrest, trial and death. A
reign of terror exists in the city aud
thousands leave nightly, the Spaniards
making no opposition except that few
men have been arrested as examples.
Eve thousand persons have left for the
country since the proclamation, four
fifths being women and children. The
Spanish soldiery now assume q bully
irg attitude and threaten dire Ven
geance on every Cuban man and woman
left in the city when the blockade be-
gins. When the American fleet ap-
pears, as it is expected daily to do, all
the -combatants will be expelled.
The governor of the city has seized all
the Largo stores of food in private hands
and prices are doubling day by day.

been Mr.. Germans principal adviser
for many years, broke down and shed
tears over the occurrence. Speeches
were made by Senator Jones, of Ar
kansas, Senator White and others, all
referring to Mr.. Germans lopg and
generally recognized services to the
party.
MIR. German, in rendering bis resig-
nation, stated that he had desired to
withdraw from the position last fallau
that he had been dissuaded by some cl
his fellow Senators but that he rad
since given the matter careful attention
and was fully persuaded that it was the
proper course for him TO pursue He
said that he had reached the conclusion
only after mature consideration, and
while he appreciated TO the utmost the
trust that had been reposed in him, be
could not see his way clear TO longer
hold the Office.
The following resolution, offered 10y
Senator Cockrell, was adopted by u
rising and unanimous vote:
