WORK on WAR REVENUE BILL.
SIGNS OF AN EARLY AGREEMENT IN
THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.

Washington. June G.-Thc conferrees on the
War Revenue bill held their first session to-
day and with the exception Of two hours for
dinner between and o'clock they were In
continuous session from o'clock this afternoon
until late tonight.
The cOnferrees are pledged to secrecy. except
on the most general features OF their work
Nothing has therefore developed as to the actual
results Of the meeting except that the feeling
was manifested on the part Of representatives
OF bOtn houses which gave rise to the express
sion all sides that the conference would not
be prolonged as they had been led to feel IT
would. The House members were found to be
generally willing TO accept the changes made by
the Senate where those changes were merely
questions Of phraseolosy and to meet the Sen
ators halfway on the more material altera-
tions
There was comparatively little talk over the
general features OF the bill, but the work began
promptly with the first paragraphs beer and
tobacco receiving first attention. II Is known
that the representatives Of the House stood out
stiffly for their original provisions for the taxa
tion Of the tobacco on hand and also for the
House reading on tobacco packages. but 1t Is
said that no definite agreement was reached
either proposition. The indications are that
the provision in regard to beer will be left AS
the Senate fixed 1t.
The Democratic members sat with the Repub-
licans and there suggestion Of party
division. as is usual in considering revenue
measures.

On Saturday two Schwarzkopf torpedoes were

NEWS FROM ADMIRAL DE WEY
HE TELLS OF IMPORTANT SUCCESSES BY
THE INSURGENTS AT MANILA.


Washington June 6-After a lot Of conflict
ing rumors OF naval engagements. the landing
OF troops and such matters. at the Navy De-
partment. there came at the close OF the Day
one important bit Of news embodied In report
from Admiral Dewey of important successes
achieved by the insurgents at Manila.
The officials have been more anxious than they
cared to betray as to Admiral Dewey's condi-
ton They were not seriously apprehensive OF
danger to the fleet, but an impression was gain
ing ground that the Admiral had not maintained
the same measure Of success in his operations
in Manila Bay that rewarded his first effort.
Now the report received goes to show that his
plans are working out admirably. that he has
succeeded In 'lacing upon the insurgents the
burden Of conducting military operations against
the Spaniards, while he himself Is lying IN en-
forced idleness awaiting the arrival OF troops.
and that he has succeeded in preventing the
corruption Of the insurgent leaders by tie span"
Iards which appeared at time to be threat
ening
There Is some speculation here by anxious
minds as to how the insurgents will treat tne
prisoners they have taken. who are more numer-
Gus. IT is said. than all the captures made by
the Cuban insurgents since their war began
II was reported by cable soon after he had Sc
cured the corporation Of the nsurgent chief,
Aguinaldo. that Admiral Dewey would see 10
Z, that the Insurgents observed the rules OF
civilized warfare This caution was made neces-
sarv by the terrible tales that had been cir
culated NJ the barbarous treatment Of prisoners
captured by the insurgents.
II ,s sincerely hoped that Agu!naldo VIII see
10 II that this agreement is observed In the case
OF the 1900 prisoners he now holds. for II Is
believed In official circles that the nations OF
the civilized world will hold the United states
morally responsible FOR any great excesses that
may he committed In the Philippines as re-
s,It of the action there. The Navy Department
officials declare that Dewey is not responsible
for the safe keeping and maintenance OF these
prisoners. which is most fortunate. considering
tho limited resources Of the Admiral in the mat
ter OF provisions.
