WATSON'S SQUADRON
Is Held In Allowance.

NEW YORK, July 22,-The Tribune
this morning says of the abandonment
of the project to send Watson to
Spain:
The organization of ''rsiding squad
ron" and preliminary orders TO Watson
were the outgrowth of Camara's de-
parture from Spain for the Philip
pines. The squadron was constituted
June 25, the day after the Spanish
fleet reached Port Said, and only after
the navy department was convinced
beyond q doubt that Camara had ac.
tually paid toll for his fleet through the
canal, thus demonstrating that Spain
was not "bluffing," but really intended
her last remnant of naval force for an
attack on Dewey.
The war board Immediately approved
Capt. Mshan's plan to send a strong
fleet across the Atlantic to menace
Spain and compel Camaras return for
the defense of the peninsula itself If
the Spanishsadmiral had failed to &C.
cept the challenge and continued to-
ward the east, Watson was directed to
follow him with all possible despatch.
The mere announcement of the
scheme. as it was specially calculated
to do, together with the pitiable condi-
tion in which Camara found the strong
est members of his fleet after they had
passed the canal, resulted in his
prompt return to Spain and nullified
the immediate object of Watson's
cruise.
It is stated upon the highest author
ity that the president never contem-
plated an attack on Spain, except as
an extreme resort to terminate the
war.

The Rio Grande.

The river is falling slowly and up
to noon today it had fallen fully three
and half feet. from the highest point
reached during this rise. Water is
still coming into the lower end of town,
but slowly now, as the river is falling
and there is not SO much pressure of
back water.
The Texas and Pacific people are
hard at work trying to get the water
out of their roundhouse as 1t is nearly
impossible to clean engines standing
out on the tracks in the yard.
Supt. j. w. Ward came in yester-
day after he had been informed as to
the height of the water in the round
house, and said this morning he was
going to put big gang of men to work
to try and relieve their premises of the
water.

SIGSBEE AND HOBSON
Reach New York With SIMPSONS
Report.

NEW YORK, July 22.-The ST. Paul
Captain Sigsbee, arrived this morning
from Santiago. Lieutenant Hobson
| the hero of the Merrimac exploit a.
Santiago. is said to be on board.
The long expected report of Real
| Admiral Sampson on the naval battle
between the American and Spanish
fleets at Santiago, is also said to have
been brought to the United States by
the St. Paul. 1t is probable Hobsor
has been given the honor of conveying
this important document to the presi.
dent.
HObson was on board the ST. Paul.
and came ashore soon after the steam.
er dropped anchor at Tompkinsville.
He was heartily cheered by the big
crowd assent bled at TIE wharf .Hobson
was soon surrounded by score of re-
porters who asked the cause of his un.
announced visit. 81 have very little
that l can talk about, he said mostly.
81 bear important official dispatches to
Washington which were given into my
hands by Admiral Sampson. He was
asked if he had the official report of
the great naval fight, but evasively re-
piled that he had simply important
dispatches
Speaking of the Imprisonment of
himself and the Merrimac crew, Hob
son said: "My mates and myself were
treated with courtesy and considera-
tion by Cervera. There was never the
slightest cause for alarm on the score
of our welfare. Unfortunately our
many friends in the United States
could not know that" Hobson would
not talk of the sinking of the Merri-
mac. II lave nothing to say about
it," he said simply. Hobson left for
Washington on the 10 o'clock train.

Stamp Tax Decision.

The assistant attorney general of the
United States renders an opinion as
follows on the express receipt stamp tax
question::
"The law makes it the duty of every
railroad, steamboat company, express
company, or corporation or persons
whose occupation it is to act as such, to
issue to the shipper. cOnsignOr, or his
agent, or person from whom any goods
are accepted for transportation, a bill
OF lading, manifest, or some other
evidence Of the receipt Of goods, wares.
or merchandise receive for carriage
and transportation, and this bill OF
iad1ng, manifest, or memorandum re-
quires revenue stamp of the value of
one cent affixed to it and cancelled.
In case OF failure to issue such bill of
.ad1ng the Lac imposes q penalty of $50
upon the carrier guilty of such fail
ure.
'The penalty for the failure to SO af-
fix the stamp is not more than 800.
THE purpose of the law is clear. It
was to tax the carrier and not the ship
per, and these provisions undoubtedly
nix upon the express companies and
other carriers the duty of providing. .af-
fixing and cancelling the stamp, and
their failure to SO provide, affix and
cancel such stamp subjects them to the
penalties provided by law. 1t is sug-
gested that some OF these carriers are
refusing TO receive goods for shipment
until the shippers pay the tax. While
it is not my provinse to advice as to the
recourse which the shipper may have
in an instance of this kind, yet 1 am
sure that the laws are ample to re-
quire public carriers and express COM
panies to receive goods rendered for
shipment or suffer damages for such
refusals."
This Is the most clearly and definitely
expressed decision in this matter that
has yet been published. It seems to
leave little doubt as to the final out
come of the suits against the express
companies.

AGUINALDO ON TOP.
He Is Dictator And Has Declared
Martial Law,


WASHINGTON, July 22.-The follow
ing dispatch was given out at the sd-
jutant's generals Office this morning
Hong Kong, ITO the secretary of the
navy. Washington: Following is for
the secretary of war through the ad-
jutant general. Aguinaldo has declsr-
ed a dictatorship and proclaimed mar
tial law over all the island. The peo-
pie expect independence. Recommend
China ponies.
(Signed) ANDERSON, Commanding.
| Ponies refers to horses for officers.
WASHINGTON, July 22.-Gen. An
derson's report from Manila is regard
| ed in administration circles as notice
that there are breakers ahead. The
news is unpleasant but was not
wholly unexpected. For several weeks
there have been increasing signs that
the self esteem of the natives was un-
dergoing rapid development. 1t is re-
gsrded as having reached the highest
stage in Aguinaldo's declaration of q
dictatorship and martial law.
There might be alarm over the new
condition of affairs but for the fact that
Dewey is on guard. He has Esolved so
many problems is such a masterly man
ner that the administration considers
him equal to any emergency. So there
is serene confidence he will be able to
handle the festive Aguinaldo in his new
role.
Dewey has displayed such excellent
judgment in every situation that the
policy has been not to hamper him
with orders. He has carefully refrain
ed from entering into any alliance with
Aguinaldo.
Confidence is now expressed that he
will find way to deal with the new
condition of affairs in the islands.
Whether he will deal with the natives
diplomatically or by force
is not known. There is strong belief
that Dewey's first move will be to tax
Manila with the cooperation of the
army. With that place, the capital
and chief sea port, in possession OF the
Americans, the invaders may proceed
at their leisure to deal with the ma
t1VeS In the Jungle.
A new system,of taxes will be enforc.
ed by the Americans which will only
be half as burdepsome as the Spanish
tolls, and the object lesson afforded by
wholesome government will be de-
pended upon to win the natives over
from the dictatorship. If it is decided
to keep the islands, the army will need
to look after the rebels.
NEW YORK. July pa dispatch to
the Evening Journal from Cavite, July
10. says that the entire First Califor-
mia volunteers advanced on that day to
Janbo, only two miles from the Span
ish lines surrounding Manila. The
California troops have been thrown
out by Gen. Anderson to form au q
vance attack in force.
South Manila is to be captured first.
The Colorado andUtah batteries are be-
ing landed at Panrangue directly from
the ships..T The Pennsylvania volunteers
