The fght for new battleships was
transferred from the House to the Sem

over the naval appropriation bill, which
makes no provision for new dread
naughts. The naval bill passed the
House late yesterday. after long fight
waged by the Republican side to amend
the bill with an authorization for at
least one battleship.
Congressman Roberts Of Massachu-
setts moved to recommit the bill and
insert an amendment for one ship just
before the final vote was taken. His
motion was lost, 14o to lo6 nine Demo-

Democratic caucus action declaring
against them. These Democrats were

Marines Moved Into
Better Position, and
Will Protect Property

SANTIAGO. Cuba, May 29-United
States marines were today moved to
strategic positions to protect American
lives and interests in Santiago province
against attack by the negro rebels. The
FIRST of the soldiers to go into action
against the negro rebels was a detach-
,nent from the cruiser Prairie, which
arrived yesteday at Caimanera, The
blacks near that point attacked a plan
tation, but were soon driven off by the
Americans. AS soon as the negroes
saw the sailors approaching they fed.
Marines are being stationed at San
tiago. Guantanamo and Nipe Bay.
There are large American interests at
Nipe \Bay-both plantations and mines.
President Gomez claims to have 900
armed troops in the field against the
rebels. These, he declares have been
divided into small detachments for the
protection of plantations. The military
authorities are apparently waiting until
100 additional troops ordered to the
front reach there before a general cam
paisn is begun against the insurgents.
The most serious disorder exists in
the regions about Guantanamo, San
Luis, Palma Soriano, and La Maya.
Large detached bodies of negroes have
been seen on the northern coast, but
they were poorly armed.
The main body of the rebels under
Ivonet and Estenoz Is not far from La
Maya, intrenched in the hills. The Fed
erals, in order to attack, must move
through a thiciily grown jungle and
cross dangerous swamps.
Major General Monteagudo Is In COM
man of the government troops which
are drawing UP in front of the rebel
column.
Several skirmishes between rebellious
blacks and rurales are reported. in all
Of which the negroes were defeated.

Basing his calculations on the collec-

mated by the Auditor OF the District
today that $4,000 will be added to the
police and firemen's relief fund by the
bill which recently passed the Senate, u
sum which In his opinion will be insult
ficient to meet future deficiencies. The
measure provides that there be applied

This was first considered by the Audi

amounting to a total of $4,000 In view
of the rapid increase in the number OF

In the Police Court. from which the
fund derives its principal support, Mr.
Tweedale was of the opinion that the
