SCHLEY'S FLEET
It Now Consists of Three Cruisers, Two
Battleships and a Converted Yacht.

On Board the Flagship Brooklyn, off
Fort Monroe, Va, May 9.-Commodore
Schley and his staff watched with great
interest this morning from the bridge
of the flagship the arrival of the new
cruiser New Orleal She came up
Hampton Roads at "a pretty lively gait,
and about ten o'clock anchored about
three miles distant from the squadron.
The New Orleans is in command of
Captain Folger, and whenashe dropped
anchor here and saluted the commo-
dore's flag, became one of the flying
squadron.
Commodore Schley and officers of the
fleet expressed admiration at the gen.
eral appearance of the new cruiser. She
is evidently a better fighter than the
detached Columbia, although 1T quite
SO fast. Commodore Schley decided
not to have her go up to Newport
News for either coal or painting, and
she will remain at her anchor here,
getting her coal from lighters.
The Minneapolis will come down this
afternoon fully coaled, and the squad
ron will then consist of three cruisers,
two battleships and a converted yacht.
The formidable dynamite cruiser, the
Vesuvius, got away finally this morn
ing for Key West, accompanied by the
Suwanee Both boats will join the
blockading squadron in the vicinity of
Cuba.

Brooklyu's Crack Regiment Will Not
Smell Powder in This War.

Albany. N Y, May Ex-Governor
Black has instructed Adjutant General
Tillinghast to issue the order to dis
band the Thirteenth regiment n. G. S.
n. Y. Disobedience Of orders from the
commanderin-ch prompted this
action.
Brooklyn's former pride in the mill
tary line is the Thirteenth regiment
This order is in consequence of the way
in which it responded to the order to
go into camp in compliance with the
Presidents call for volunteers to fight
against Spain Colonel Watson, of the
Thirteenth. and many officers and pri-
Yates of the regiment took the stand
that the regimental integrity of the
regiment should be guaranteed before
they entered the service Of the United
States. In consequence, when Governor
Black designated the Thirteenth, along
with other regiments, to make up New
Yorks quota under the Presidents call,
there was a lame and unsatisfactory
response. Of a total membership of
900, only about 250 went to Hampstead
Plains to become a part of Camp
Black The presence Of this remnant
has not helped affairs at the camp, and
to-day the announcement is made that
the Thirteenth boys will be sent home

THE REVENUE BILL.
Senate Finance Committee Making
Rapid Progress--Democratic Amend
ments Will Probably Be Adopted.

Washington, May 9.-When the Sen
ate Finance Committee adjourned to-
night the consideration of the war re-
venue bill had been almost entirely
completed, although there were some
puzzling problems still unsolved, one OF
which was the manner of dealing with
proprietary medicine articles. There
will probably be uniform tax on all
of them. The committee has decided to
place license upon banks at the rate
of $500 year and upon brokers at the
rate of $50, but has not yet determined
whether the professions shall be Ii
censed or not On life insurance COM
panies the rate has been increased five
fold, being made ten cents on every
hundred dollars, and it is estimated
that tdis increase will add about mil
lion dollars in revenue. The provision
for an inheritance tax and for tax on
bills of lading were both adopted, as
were the provisions for taxing all deal
ing in futures, including bucket shop
operations. The bill, as it will be re-
ported, will contain provision requlr-
ing that memorandum be made of all
deals of this character, however small,
and that a two-cent stamp be placed
upon this memorandum.
The Democratic amendments will be
taken up tomorrow, and there is very
little doubt that they will all be adopt
ed, as Senator Jones, of Nevada, has in
dicated his purpose Of standing with
the Democrats on all the principal
changes they suggest.
1t is possible the consideration of the
bill may be completed tomorrow, but
it is not probable.

BRITISH INTERESTS
In the Philippines Demand the Pres
ence of More War Vessels at Manila.
British Acquisition Suggested.

London, May 10.-The Hong Kong
correspondent of the Daily Chronicle
says:
THE British in Manila have forward
ed a petition through British consul TO
Vice Admiral Seymour commander in
chief of the China station) for further
naval assistance, and it is anticipated
that additional vessels will be sent
there on Wednesday, The British con-
sui is working in through harmony
with the American commander; but it
is felt that the overwhelming British
commercial interests require supervis-
ion by force sufficient to keep the
Spaniards and natives in check.
There is a desire here to advocate a
British acquisition Of the Philippines,
thus completing the chaine of British
possessions from the Straits Settle
ments by Borneo to this colony. 1t is
felt here that the occupation of the
Philippines by any other great Euro
pean power would be most dangerous
to British interests.
Business at Manila is at a complete
standstill, but the Spaniards are not
likely to surrender until the city is
blown to pieces. The British inhabit-
ants, however, are confident that the
trouble will soon be over"

CHICAGO MARINE BAND.


Two Splendid Concerts at wheeling Park
Casino Observation-Disclosures Demonstra
tons Mingled With the Musical Pro-
gramme.
Brooke and his famous Chicago Ma
rine band gave two more splendid con-
certs yesterday at Wheeling Park. At
night there was a very fair audience
in the Casino and ii was thoroughly
appreciative. The programme was en-
rlreiy different from any of the
previous concerts. and each number
won hearty applause from the audi
ence. a concert solo by Mr.. James D.
Llewellyn compelled an enthusiastic
demand for al encore from the audi
ence. An interesting feature OF the
concert occurred after Miss Sybil Sam
mis-, the soprano soloist, had finished
her charming rendition of Page s
Aria" from Les Huganots."
The audience called for her again.
ana she sang Annie Laurie" with
much fervor and effect But while this
pleased, the audience evidently wanted
something patriotic, and Miss Sammis
was forced to come out the third time
she sang Marching Through Georgia
as the second encore, and the audience
accompanied each chorus by a DEM
onstration of clapping hands and
cheering. While this song was of the
right character yet it did not fully
satisfy the audience For the fourth
time Miss Sammis was called to the
front, and as the band struck up the
strains Of the Star Spangled Ban
ner, the enthusiasm could not be
contained, and the people again gave
vent to their feelings.
The rendition of Our Nations
Guard, Mr.. Brooke's newest compo-
sition, dedicated TO the militia of the
United States, was received with a
heartiness that amounted to nearly an
ovation.
Another outburst of enthusiasm fol-
owed when the band commenced the
Cuban National Hymn and a Cuban
flag dropped from the flies. A large
American flag fell back Of the Cuban
co rs and the band finished with the
Star Spangled Banner
