more nurses at Montauk pressed into
service many in active professional

Miss Duncan is the the secretary of

Both Chambers Pass War Deficiency Bill
for $35, ,72O,945.
Washington, May 3.-Probably the
most important measure passed by the
senate yesterday was the emergency
war deficiency bill carrying $35, 72O, ,945.
Not more than ten minutes were con-
sumed in passing it, that time being
occupied in reading the measure. The
bill providing for the enlistment of a
volunteer brigade of engineers and of
10000 men in the south who are i'm
mune to yellow fever, these enlistments
to be in addition to those provided for
in the presidents call for 125,OOO volun-
teers, was also passed. The war revenue
measure passed by the house of repre-
sentatives last Friday was referred to
the finance committee. The conference
report on the naval appropriation was
agreed to and Butler spoke in favor of
his resolution against the issue of
bonds. The senate adjourned to tomor-
row.
Washington, May 3-Chairman Can
non. of the appropriations committee,
yesterday reported and the house
passed the urgent deficiency bill appro-
priating about s35, ,720,945 for war ex-
penses. 1t was explained that volun-
teers would be paid from the time of
enrolment and their expenses from
their homes to the place of enrolment
borne by the government. The Alaskan
bill was taken up and the provision for a
commission to confer with Canada re-
garding the North Atlantic fisheries
was stricken out on a point of order
that the committee had no right to in
corporate that provision in the bill The

entered the bay under cover of dark
ness by the smaller and safer Bocachica
channel The forts of Corregidor island
gave the alarm by firing on the intrud-
ers, but they seem to have inflicted no
serious damage. The American SQUAD
ron moved up the bay and at o'clock
in the morning appeared before Cavite.
Here, lying under the shelter of the
forts. was the Spanish squadron. Ad-
miral Montejo, few days before, went
to Subic bay to look for the enemy, but
learning that they were vastly superior
in force had prudently returned and
placed his ships under the protection of
the forts.
This was his only chance of meeting
the enemy on something like equal
terms, and it did not suffice. Soon the
Americans opened fire. The Spaniards
replied vigorously and the combat con-
tinued without interruption for four
hours. during which the Don Antonio
de Ulloa was sunk, the Castillo and Min
dan were set on fire and the Reina Ma
ria Christina and the Don Juan de

or two of the smaller craft were scut-
tied by their crews to escape capture.

there were no searchlights and the
American squadron was only sighted
after it had already passed the outer
and principal forts. On every side in
England is heard praise of the skill and
daring displayed by Commodore Dewey
in situation where, if anything had
miscarried. he would have been caught
in a most desperate position. At the
same time credit is given Admiral
Montejo, who had wretched fleet and

Latest News from Hong Kong.
Hong Kong, May 3-There is no news
Of the American squadron beyond a pri-
vate telegram from Captain Concha, of
the Spanish cruiser Don Juan de Aus
tria, to his children at a convent school
here, mentioning that firing has been
heard in the direction of Corregidor
island. 1t is assumed from this that the
Americans were accommodating the en-
trance and trying the southern side of
the island, which is six miles wide and
surrounded by rocks and shoals, though
not believed to be mined. There is no
news either of the Spanish squadron,

sentenced and shot is an invention
from whole cloth. This is stated on the
authority of high officer of the ship,
who gave the information to the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent last even
ing. According to this officer a full in
vestigation was made and no evidence
Of criminality was found. Yglesias was
seen near the magazine but he made no
overt attempt. He had, however. made
indirect threats against the ship and
the crew were much incensed against
him.
For this reason it has been decided to
put him ashore quietly at the time the
steamer leaves for the north, advising
him to sail on her. This is done to
avoid possible violence on the part of
the crew, who firmly believe the trea-
son story, and to whose exaggerated sto-
ries the sensational accounts printed
are due. Yglesias is regarded as ire
sponsible, but harmless.
