WASHINGTON, June 9.-The Repub-
Ican members Of the conference com.
mittee on the war revenue bill were in
caucus for about four hours, and it is

lion, the form of the bond provision
and the amount of the bonds, the in
heritance tax, the duty on tea, etc. The
general impression among senators is
that there will be some provision for
coming the seigniorage and possibly all
the silver bullion in the treasury, but it
is not believed that the terms of the
senate provision will be accepted with.
out material modification.

DR.. Kindleberger gives graphic &C.
count of the terrific fight. He was Oh
the Olympia through it all. In the
first assault the Ls.t,ship took the lead,
the other vessels following in her wake
at four ship lengths. During the first
fight the Spanish admiral's ship put
bravely out of the line to meet the
Olympia. The American feet concen.
trated fire on her and she was so badly
injured that she turned around to put
back. At this juncture the Olympia
let fly an 8.inch shell which struck her
stern and pierced through almost her
entire lenght exploding finally in the
engine room, wrecking her machinery.
This she'll killed the captain and 80
men and set the vessel OH fire. In the

board and riddled the other. The sec.
ond boat was later found turned up on
the beach, covered with blood.
In the second fight the Baltimore was
sent to silence the fort at Cavite. She
plunged into cloud of smoke and
opened all her batteries on the fortifica.
tions. In a very few minutes II she'll
struck in the ammunition and the fort
blew up with a deafening roar.
The work of the Baltimore was glcri.
ous. After the principal ships had
been destroyed, the Concord, Raleigh
and Petrol, being of light draft, were
sent close in to handle the remaining
vessels Of tho fleet. They made quick
work of them.
In taking possession of the land forts
several hundred wounded Spaniards
fell into the hands of the Americans
and nearly 600 dead were accounted for
on the spot.
