PROGRAM IN CONGRESS.
The Senate Likely to. Sit on the
Fourth of July.

The senate Likely to Sit on the
Fourth of July. -
The Hawaiian annexation resolutions
will have the right of way. again in the
Senate next week. Now and then a war
measure may come up. but nothing else
can interfere, as the temper of the an
neXationists is aroused.
Unless the hot weather causes a change
of program. the Senate will be in ses-
sion on Monday. While other people are
celebrating Independence Day by taking
a rest, most of the statesmen in the
upper legislative branch will be COM
PEELED to hang around the chamber, even
if they do not listen to the arguments.
Mr.. Hoar is bent on making a big speech
1t is understood that his remarks will
run on the patriotic line, to large ex-
tent. He is said to be primed for q SOUL
stirring address, and those who do not
agree with him are also reported to be
ready to interject considerable spice into
the debate, if they are permitted to in
terrupt. -.-.,'r
A vote on the Hawaiian question is not
yet in sight. There are rumors of COM
promise, but the obstructionists insist

The annexationists are equally as stub
born. Mr.. Mason will doubtless furnish
a variety to the proceedings on Wednes--
day next when he will demand action
upon his resolution to apply cloture
rules SO as to secure a vote whenever a
majority want it. The Illinois senator
admits that his efforts will be in vain.
The most important matter likely to
come before the House next week is the
dfnO fnr N taly xof
twelfth census. The Speaker having APP
pointed yesterday a special committee to
consider this matter it is expected that
the bill will be reported by Wednesday
or Thursday. and passed before the close
of Saturdays session.
An animated debate will be precipitated
when the section relating to the civil
service question is reached The House.
like the Senate is In favor Of having the
clerks in the census Office appointed with
out consulting the Civil Service Com
mission.

BIG BLAZE IN ROANOKE.

i
One Hundred Thousand Dollars'
Worth Of Property Destroyed.
Roanoke. Va, July 2.-One of the most
destructive fires that ever visited Roa-
noke occurred yesterday afternoon at 2:30
o'clock. 1t was discovered that the Ho-
tel Roanoke was on fire. The fire orig
mated over the iceroom and burned along
the roof internally before it was noticed.
A brisk breeze from the northwest drove
the flames through the most costly part
of the hotel, completely running it. Two
thousand men were soon on the scene and
set to work to save the furniture and fix
lures, practically all of which were saved,
but much damaged. Firemen Charles Sis-
Ter and ]. E. Rocker were. severely burn
ed about the head and neck, caused by
the falling in of the ceiling upon them
Fireman Charles Armstrong was over
come by the heat. There were several
casualties, none of a serious nature.
The damage is estimated at 100000.

Jennie. and baby are doing finely. The
younGster is male and has been already
christened with the illustrious name of

think Of him. He has long. ungainly
legs. two small humps on his back and a
long heaG-an exact copy of his mothers.

ought TO be used to. IL by ahis ;dime. She
refuses to allow any one to monkey with

Nothing But victory for Us.

London. July 2.-None of the weeklies
doubts that there will be an American
victory at Santiago de Cuba. The Spec
tator. however sees evidences suggest
ing that Gen. Linares does not intend to
fight with his back to the WALL The
Spectator believes that he will blow up
the squadron. abandon Santiago and
commence a guerrilla warfare
The weeklies concur also in the opinion
that Admiral Camara will be too late to
save the Philippines. The Speaker thinks
the dispatch of the American squadron to
the coast of Spain may arouse enthusi-
asm in Spain. but that this is not likely
to continue when a bombardment is once
begun.

PORTO R|CAA EXPEDITION
II Will Await the Result of the
Santiago Campaign.
TO BE ORGANIZED AT TAMPA
General Mattel Denies That Natives
of the Island VIII Resist the In
:Vnsion b! the American Troops.
They Stand for Autonomy, RecoG-
niEed by Amcrica.

-tr.The, Porto Rico expedition is held in
allegiance pending the results of the cam
paigh in Santiago harbor."
This statement was officially made at
the War Department. 1t means that none
of the transports now off Santiago will
be available for the TRANSFORMATION of
troops to Porto Rico, the only transports
to'be detached at present from the squad
ron there being those which will be nee
'essary to assist in taking re-enforce
ments 10 Shafter.
The War Department has been obliged
to. reach this conclusion because it
knows from the conditions in Santiago
province that all of the transports may
be needed at Santiago for an indefinite
period. Pending the operations in the
province. the army for Porto Rico will
continue 10 be organized at Tampa. A
snort successful campaign in Santiago
will reiease the transports. The plan re-
mains unchanged that Gen. Miles shall
proceed to Santiago and await there the
sailing of the transports from Tampa
with a designated number of troops TO
combine with the forces he will take from
Tampa.
Gen. Antonio Mattel. a Porto Rican
revolutionary leader, arrived here from
New York yesterday and called on the of
fcials at the State Department Gen.
Mattel escaped from the Yanco prison.
in Porto Rico, in April. 1887. and has since
that time been in comnAInication from
this country with the Forto Rican pa
triots.
General Mattel denies the statement of
Mr.. Balances to the effect that the Porto
Ricans would resist the proposed invasion
of that island by an American Army.
General Mattel said that Mr.. Balances had
not been in Porto Rico for thirty-two
years He is man of character and
ability, but he is not now competent to
speak for the Porto Ricans.
The Porto Ricans, General Mattel says.
stand for autonomy, recognized and pro-
tected by America. The only really Span
ish city in Porto Rico is San Juan. The
rest of the island is inhabited by people
of French, English and German descent,
the Spanish being the least ancestral
force.
General Mattel was arrested in April,
1887, and was thrown into the prison at
Yanco. He remained there only three
days. having bribed his jailers to allow
him to escape He received a letter from
his wife yesterday. in which she says that
at l O'Clock in the morning after the. st.
Paul had disabled the Terror her house
was raided by Spanish soldiers. They ex-
pected to find her husband there or let
tiers to incriminate him with the attack on
the Terror
The auxiliary cruiser Yosemite is at
Porto Rico. She is believed to be on
accommodating cruise preparatory to the
invasion of the island.
The Yosemite is scheduled to accom-
pany Commodore Watson's flying squad
ron to Spain. As soon as her mission to
Porto Rico is fulfilled she will join Com
modore Watson and begin coaling pre-
paratory for the long voyage to Spain

Chicago, July 2.-Grain spectators an
ticipate a corner in July wheat. Armour
is the man who is expected to make it un-
comfortable for shorts. After the Letter
crash there was very heavy liquidation Of
July and September. Prices have been
hammered out of shape in this liquidation,
and it is said that Armour has quietly
bought up good lines of both July and
September. The former he will bull in
order to fix a settling price. There are
many on the board who believe that July
will go out at dollar.

busy cleaning boat that he happened to own,

showed it into the stream. The plucky little.
fellow plunged into the water, and succeeded
in getting into the boat. He treated it all as
joke. saving. Gentlemen. ! see you are not
accustomed to handling sailboat; allow me the
pleasure Of giving you a sail' The soldiers
readily agreed to this. There was a stid south
east wind blowing, and the young captain turned
the PROV Of the boat toward the east After
reaching the deep water he suddenly pulled his
boat into the wind. and in a moment the boat
capsized. and the unlucky soldiers found them
selves foundering in the water. Tie young cap
tain was prefuse with his regrets. and it did not
even dawn upon the minds Of the soldiers that
they were the victims of practical Joke

NATIONAL WAR CRIES.

To the long list of famous war cries
must now be added the inspiring words.
Remember the Maine!'
This expression" says a French pa
per. "simply means Let US avenge our
dead comrades. and 1t may be regarded
as the American battle cry in the war
which IL being waged at present.
An interesting study is that of the war
cries of the various nations. Take, for
instance, the word ''Hurrah." Often has
1t been shouted during British battles.
and in our own day the French soldiers
in Tonquin have frequently used it as
they attacked some fort or town. In old
days, the Gauls used to charge in battle
with the cry of 'iAmrha"' on their lips.
and it is supposed that this word. which
signifies THE warriors are coming was
the origin of .Hurrah,' The medieval
soldier was not supposed to utter this
war cry until the supreme moment had
come, and then military etiquette COM
PEELED him to shout it with all his might.
The Romans used TO cry Pro patria"
which means For our country" as they
charged in battle, and when they were
at close quarters with the enemy their
favorite word was Fer" which signi-
fies Strike" In like manner, the French
soldiers of the middle ages were wont
to cry kilt XIII as they dashed
into battle.
For centuries there was Spanish war
cry very similar TO this. 1t was the one
word. "Amat." signifying Let US kill"'
The soldiers of Spain loved to shout this
exultant word whenever they We're at
close grip with their enemies. Another
expression. which seems to have been
only used by the soldiers of Arragon. was
.'Herro, despiertate" signifying Sword.
arouse yourself.'
In the old French chronicles We find
mention of several battle cries. each OF
which was apparently used only by one
company or regiment. Thus the soldiers
of Vandenay made themselves known by
their exultant shout. -Au brut! Au
brut,'-"On TO the fight. On to the
tight,'' The soldiers OF Montaing shout
ed a Ia rescourse. campaings!'-"To the
front, comrades.' Those of Morlaix
shouted "Mords-les, bite
them, Bite them!" thus humorously
twisting their name into a mean
ing quite different from its nat
ural one: and the men-at-arms of Troyes
shouted ITO right and lefi,' thus. ex-
horting each other 10 strike hard at the
foemen on all sides.

The experience Of ages shows that war
cries have always had a most inspiring
effect upon soldiers. OF no light value in
the same direction have been the certain
memorable utterances of eminent lighting
men, Take for example. the notable
words of Sergt. Rousselet. of the regi-
ment of Navarro. When he was sud
denly attacked by a regiment of Uhlans
near Conde. on May II. 1892 he calmly
turned to his men and said: ''If retreat,
kill me; if you retreat. will kill your
Very similar to this is the well-known
utterance of Henri de la RochejaQuelin.
the famous French leader. At the battle
of Chenille he returned to his soldiers
and said:
MY friends. if T advance, follow me; If
l retreat kill me: if l die, avenge met
Kleber was especially skilled in the art
of inspiring his men with courage When
Admiral Kehh sent him a letter dur
ing the campaign in Egypt calling upon
him to surrender with all his army he
made the contents of the letter public,
and then wrote under it:
Soldiers. the only way We can reply to
such insolence as this is by conquering
our enemies"
With more good humor Gen. Dumesnil,
who had lost leg at Wagram, replied to
Blucher at Vincennes: II will surrender"
he said, ''as soon as you give me back nv
leg"

There are also certain sublime utter
ances which have all the vigor- and pas
sion of battle cries. Thus, at the battle
of Waterloo, Marshal Ney. after three
horses had been killed under him. his
sword broken and one of his epaulets cut
off by sabre cut, suddenly came face to
face with Gen. Drouet d'Erlon and, find
ing him still fresh and unhurt, he Iex-
claimed:
What! Do you mean to say that YOU
cannot manage to get yourself kilIed?'
At Valmy kellerman turned toward
young volunteer and said: -.
My young friend. come and die with
me for the republic!"
During the Franco-German war, as a
perfect shower of musket balls rained on
one occasion round Marshal Canrobert,
one of his staff said to him: IF you re-
main here. Marshal. you will certainly
get killed." to which Canrobert coolly re-
piled: quite likely; but even if 1 should
get killed, what then?''
man of like caliber was Garibaldi,
who on one occasion addressed his troops
as follows:
Here is what l offer to those who are
willing to follow me-hunger. thirst and
the parching heat of the sun: no bread, no
drink. no ammunition. but continual
watches, battles, forced marches and bay
onet thrusts. Let him who loves his coun-
try follow mel
According to Gen. Foy. the soldiers at
Jemmapes and Fleurus fought under un-
usual conditions. When the firing be-
came brisk" he writes, IAN officer or a
representative of the people fntoned The
Hymn Of victory and thereupon the gen.
eral placed his helmet surmounted by
the tricolor on the point of his sword and
raised it aloft. SO that the whole army
might see it. Then the soldiers charged
upon the enemy. singing and shouting En-
Avant! En- Avant!' Forward! For
