CONFER on NAVAL BILL.

Washington, ID. c., April 30.-To-
days session of the House was devo-
ted chiefly TO the consideration of the
conference report upon the Naval Ap-
preparation bill, presented yesterday by
Chairman Boutelc. The report was re-
jected after three hours of debate and
further conference will follow.
The only ground upon which the fight
against the report was made was found
in the Senate amendment to compensate
naval officers for government use of
their inventions and authorizing them
10 have their claims for such compen-
sation adjudicated in the Court OF
Claims. Mr. Boutele led the support OF
the amendment and Messrs. Cannon and
Sayers the opposition. A resolution
Introduced by Mr.. Cannon, insisting upon
eliminating the amendment. was adop-
ted. 11S to II. and the Naval bill then
was again sent to conference. The
Speaker named as cOnferees upon the
part Of the House, Messrs. Cannon. w.

The House passed the bill providing
for the organization of naval batta-
ion to consist of not more than four
companies in the District of Columbia.

April 30.-Don Arsenso Linar es Pombo.
Commandante General of this division of
of Cuba, proclaimed four days ago that
every man between fifteen and fifty
years of age must enroll that night with
the volunteers for military service, I'M
der penalty of arrest and military trial
and death. Senor Chucho Manduley
Magistrate of the High Court of San
tiago and known as an intense Spanish
sympathizer, one of the most prominent
in the city. left for the camp Of the
Cuban Brigadier General Callos. He
was accompanied by several kinsmen and
his going produced vivid impression.
The exodus from the city has continued
by night, the Spaniards making no OPP
position except that a few men have
been arrested as examples. Five thous-
and persons have left for the country
since the proclamation, four-ffths being
women and children.
The Spanish sodiery now assumes a
bullying attitude and threaten to kill
every Cuban man and to outrage every
Cuban woman left in the city when the
blockade begins. When the Americans
fleet appears. as it is daily expected to
do. all the non-combatants will be ex-
PEELED. Though the governor of the
city. Enrique Capriles. has seized for
the government all the large store OF
food in private hands. many shops still
do business with small stocks. the prices
doubling day by day. Monday meat was
forty cents a pound. Tuesday seventy
cents and to-day it is n dollar a pound
Other prices in gold to-day are: Rice
81 cents a pound; beans.21; flour. i.
and lard, 81 Chickens are 500 4
piece.
The Governor announced to-day tf
quiet public alarm that Il ship loadec
with provisions was expected. but when
where from and what her name is no
body knows. The story is not believed
The Spanish soldiers, especially the
sick, are abominably fed.
Il new battery has been erected a.

rapid fire guns and. this correspondent
hears ten or twelve more rapid fire
small calibre guns will be mounted oI

MORO fort has Mt least fifty ancien

reports about torpedoes in the channe
and harbor, but they are confusing
Preparations have certainly been made
TO lay torpedoes but whether it ha'
been actually done is not known. Strong
floating mines are ready to be placed.
The military authorities seem to have
little control of the soldiers and the dis
orderly elements. Spanish silver is a
45 per cent premium. The bank notes
issued by the government bank Mt Ha
yana are practically worthless and some
times pass for three to five cents on til,
