We need it because we are positively

Sampson, which was made public in the
following bulletin:
Secretary of the Navy:-Bombarded
forts at Santiago, 1870 to 10 a. m. today,
June 6. Silenced works quickly with
out injury of any kind, though within
SAMPSON
While the officials of the navy de-
partment declined to say definitely
whether the bulletin contained all the
sons cablegram, there is reason to be-
HeVe that it did not. The officials re-
fuse to discuss the subject or to Vouch-
safe further information than was post
ed on the bulletin board.
The only additional point was elected
by questioning. That was that the
cablegram contained no information
about the landing of either land forces
or marines.
The information received from Ad-
miral Sampson was evidently quite sat
isfactory to the naval authorities.
While they declined to discuss either
the reason for or the probable consequent
ces of the bonb rdment they were
thoroughly satisfied with the results ac-
comphshed.
1t is pretty well understood that the
bombardment was for the purpose of
paving the way either for the landing
of troops or actually to cover the land
ing of marines
Dispatches received by the Associated
Press from Spanish sources indicate
that a landing was effected, either dur
ing or Immediately after the lombard
ment. This is regarded by naval au-
thOrities as entirely reasonable.
1t is deemed likely that Sampson
landed a sufficient force of marines to
hold the ground he had gained and to
make preparations for the landing of
the regular forces upon their arrival,
if. indeed, some of them are not already
at hand.

Guided when the senate adjourned.

SOLDIERS VOTES.
The Matter Creates Considerable Dis
cussion in the House.

Washington. June S.-After disposing
of the war deficiency bill, as passed
with amendments by the senate, the
house yesterday considered the confer
ence report upon the sundry civil bill.
The report, so far as it embodied agree
ments was adopted and the house then
began voting severalIy upon the senate
amendments upon which no agreement
had been reached in conference. OF
these there are As.
The house considered eight of these,
acting favorably upon three and reject
ing the remainder.
The bill providing for participation of
volunteers in congressional electiOnSdur-
ing the existence of the present warwas
then taken up, it having been made the
special order. Mr.. Lacey Rep., Ia. )said
the bill found constitutional warrant in
the section giving congress power to
make or alter regulations prescribed by
the state legislature affecting the times
places and manner of holding elections
for representatives.
Mr.. Bailey Oem., Tex.) and Mr. Will
UamS Den.. MiSS.) raised the question
of the constitutionality of the provis-
ion, declaring 1.-The requirements of the
states laws as to registering e
shall not apply to the electors"
They questioned it on the ground that
the registration was a feature of quail
fication and was exclusively within the
province Of state powers, and not a mat
ter of times, places and manner" con-
templated in the constitution.
The further consideration of the
measure precipitated a prolonged col
loquy in which many members joined.
1t was apparent that the bill involved
struction. A desire to postpone con-
sideration was manifest and Mr. La
cey's request that the bill be made, the
continuing special order for today was
granted. 1t was stated by the speaker,
however, that the sundry civil confer
ence report would take precedence.

THE IRISH WAKE.
1t Is IA Kindly and Human Custom
in Intention.
(Frcm the London relegraph.)

(Frcm the London Telegraph.)
The old Irish custom of waking the
dead has given rise to much misrepresen-
tation of the Irish character; and yet in
its intention it is kindly and human
custom. To those who do not understand
the Irish nature or the impulses which
move it. the drinking. smoking and con-
versatisn which take place at wakes"
appear incongruous and repulsive. To the
Irish people on the other hand, there is
something very cold, unfeeling and repel-
lent in the English custom of leaving the
corpse shut up in room, all alone, de-
serted. as ii were. by the family. In Ire
land we keep close company with our dead
to the very last moment.
waking means watching. We
watch affectionate. by the side of a
dead relative or friend until the time ar
rives to depart for the burial ground.
The body is laid on the bed. covered with
a white sheet. leaving exposed the head
and the hands crossed reverently on the
breast The walls about the bed are COW
cred with white sheets. on which are of
ten hung punches of flowers and laurel
leaves. Seven lighted candles stand on n
table near the bed: the room is frequently
sprinkled with holy water, to keep of
the evil spirits who may be lowering
around. and on the corpse is a large plate
cally efficacious for the watchers.
The Irish people are gregarious In their
instincts. They never like to be alone,
and the feeling for companionship is
strongest when death has visited them
closely. A family deprived of member
by death seeks consolation from the
neighbors, and the neighbors. even quick
