The War With Spain. ‘The military expedition for the occupation of Santiago, consisting of about 20,000 trcops, sailed from Tampa and other Flor- ida points, under a strong convoy. Mean- while cggressive operations on the part of the fleet cff Santiago were reduced to a minimum. A few shots were fired at the fortifications and the dynamite cruiser Ve- suvius was put in action to test the effi- ciency of her pneumatic guns; she fired six shots in ali on two occasions, and it was believed that much destruction wis wrovght by the projectiles. There was practically continuous fighting throughout the week in the vicinity of Guantanamo between the battalion of marines, under the comiand of Lieut. Col. Huntington, aided by some Cubans, and Spanish regulars and guerrillas. The first assault of the enemy was from the brush and four Americans were killed and others wounded; after sev- eral such attacks an aggressive movement by the marines was ordered, and the Span- iards were routed with heavy losses, while the Americans escaped practically without injury; the Spaniards were reinforced in aumbers from Santiago, but sharp work by the warships guarding the camp wrought destruction among their defenses, and it was believed that the marines could hold their position until the arrival of the troops in the transports. These operations practi- cally comprised the military activities of the week. It was reported that the Cuban insurgents had occupied Acerraderos, eight miles from Santiago. Much indignation was caused in the United States by reports that the bodies of the marines kliled at Guantanamo had been mutilated by the Spaniards; this statement was indignantly denied by Spanish authorities, who claim that the mutilation was caused by the mauser bullets. Lieut. Victor Blue of the navy succeeded in penetrating sufficiently far into the enemy's lines ut Santiago to observe the conditions in the inner bay, and reperted subsequently to Adimrai Sampson that the entire Spanish fleet, un- der Admiral Cervera, with the exception of the torpedo boat destroyer Terror, was in the harbor. Continued efforts were made to secure the exchange of Lieut. Hobson and his companions ot the Merrimac for Spanish prisoners, but Gen. Blanco noufied the American esentatives that he had not yet been autnorized by the Madrid gov- ernment to effect the exchange The Span- ish steamer Purissima Concepcion, admitied to British register at Jamaica, Sailed for Cuban ports with supplies, having evaded detention by the American consul. The second military expedition to Manila sailed rom San Francisvo, consisting of about 50) troops, under the command of Gen. Greene. It was authoritatively reported that the Spanish fieet at Cadiz, under Ad- miral Camara, had finally left that port; it was believed that the ships, variously stated at from ten to twenty in number, passed through the Straits of Gibraltar, sailing eastward, and it was understood that they were on their way to Cartagena for manetvvers, although a rumor was started to the effect that they would ulti- mately appear off the North Atlantic coast to bombard American cities. The Philip- pine insurgents continued their activity, and at latest accounts had succeeded in capturing many prisoners and threatening the capital itself. The Spanish authorities at Manila practically abandoned hope of receiving aid from Spain. Some interest in the attitude of Germany in the matter of the final disposition of the Philippines was aroused by the arrival at Manila of a fleet of warships and by rumors from Berlin that Emperor William intended to co-oper- ate with Spain to prevent the accession of the islands by the United States. Major Gen. Miles and staff returned to Washing- ton from Tampa to consult with the offi- cers of the administration relative to fu- ture military movements. It was reported that the government intended goon to dis- patch an expedition to occupy Porto Rico ard at the same time to send additional troops to Santiago, probably postponing the ogvencaeenen Havana until later in the season. It was also reported that the —=_— — CO oer eerrrecccevorsecoors It keeps the healthy well and strengthens invalids. ia Liebig « Company’s Extract of Beef. - Signed J. v LIEBIG tn blue 20-2 on every jar. ° . . . . ° ° . ° . . ° e e . e COC COCO SC OOO EOE OHO CHOOSE Poe e oe ee oeeeooeeoooereoe?® a la President was considering the advisability of sending a fast and powerful squadron eastward to make @ hostile demonsiration in Spanish waters. The adjutant general of the army annolnced ghe state quotas under the second call for troops. Forty- three thousand of thg 75,090 were designat- ed to recruit regiments formed under the first call. The government of Paraguay or- dered the Spanish torpedo vessel Temerario to leave Asuncion a®eonce) It was reported that the queen regent ex, a desire to abdicate in favor tf thelinfanta Isabella, but that she was persuaded by the cabinet to abandon the plan® 2 Congressional. The House passed the Newlands resolu- tion for the annexattbn of Hawaii by_a vote of 209 to 91; 18 demd¢rats and all but three of the republicans voted°for annexation; the Speaker annou by proxy that if present he would véte in’opposition. The resolution was favorably "reported to the Senate from the foreign relations commit- tee and arrangements were begun to press the discussion at once. The Senate, by a vote of 26 to 23, passed the bill incorporat- ing the “International American Bank,” to be under the supervision of the controller of the currency. ‘he general deficiency, carrying nearly $230,000,000, was reported to the House, and its discussion was begun The conferees on the bankruptcy bill reach- ed an agreement. Joint resolutions were introduced in ‘the ‘houses tendering the thanks of Congress to Lieut. Hobson and the men who accompanied him on the col- lier Merrimac, which was sunk in the mouth of Santiago harbor. National and Domestic. ‘The President signed the war revenue bill and work was immediately begun in its execution; it was estimated that the war loan of $200,000,000 would be taken entirely by the individual subscribers in small amounts, who were preferred under the terms of the law to all other bidders; sev- eral syndicate offers in large sums were received, one of them for tne entire loan, or such portion as might be left after the in- ¢ividual subscribers had been supplied; at the end of the week the total subscriptions were estimated at about six times the amount of the loan. A draft for $473,151 was handed to the British ambassador in full payment of the claims arising under the Bering sea award of the Paris tribunal of 1893 against the United States, the claims having been adjudicated by a joint commission and appropriated for by Con- gress. Much political discussion was aroused by a speech by William Jennings Bryan, candidate for the presidency in 1896, an aspirant for the command of the 3d Ni braska Volunteers, delivered at Omaha, in the course of which he deprecated any colonizing tendencies in the conduct of the war with Spain. Joseph Leiter of Chicago, who for one year had dominated the wheat market of the world, was forced to liqui- date by an unexpected turn in the market and the great deal which he had up to that time successfully manipulated collapsed; his wheat holdings were taken by Philip D. Armour and his debt were assumed by his father, L. Z. Leiter. Foreign Affairs. The Meline ministry was defeated in the French chamber of deputies on a vote of confidence and resigned; President Faure Invited M. Ribot, formerly premier and minister of finance, to form a new min- istry. Disorders in the Austrian reichsrath over the adoption of Czech as the official larguage of Bohemia and Moravia caused the dissolution of that body. Anti-Semitic disturbances developed in parts of Aus- trian Galicia. It was stated in Paris that the dispute with England over the Niger territory had been settled by France ob- taining two ports as outlets for the Da- hemey trade in congideration of England receiving more territory qn the gold coast. The French court of cassation rejected M. Zola’s appeal against a trial at Vervailles for libel on the ground of, non-jurisdiction. John Trodd, an Englishman, supposed to be insane, shot and slightly wounded Count Arco-Valley, the first secretary of the Ger- man embassy; the police believe that he had intended to assassinate the Ameri ambassador.

Robert Sinclair Cecil, a resident of the Isle of Man, entered a claim to the title of the Marquis of Saltsbury. Lord Seymour was gazetted commander of the British troops in Canajia.. It was decided to ho an international conference between the United States and Canada at Quebec, July 15. Lord Salisbury annotinced in the house of lords that a distinguished English naval officer had been designated to assist China in the reorganization of her navy. The Chi- nese government issued an order remodel- ing the University of Pekin after the style of the European universities.

The revolution in Venezuela was ended by the capture of Hernandez, the leader. Count Boniface de Castellane, who married Mixs Anna Gould of New York, fought a suc- ccesful duel in Paris. Among those who died were Baron Carbery of England and Sir Edward Burne-Jones, the celebrated painter. In the District. A partial agreement on the District ap- propriation bill was geported by the con- ferees to the two houses, indicating ma- terial gains for the substantial interests of the capital, including provisions for an increase in the watef supply and In. the sewer facilities. The Senate passed the House bills for the incorporation of the East Washington Heights Traction Com- pany and for the regulation of plumbi:., and gas fitting in the District, and Senate bills for the extension of Rhode Island ave- nue, for the protection of underground pipes, and to enable the register of wills to reproduce old records. The Commission- ers ordered a strict enforcement of an old statute, discovered to be still in force, for- bidding the sale of liquor to soldiers. An organization was formed for the relief of District volunteers at the front and for the suffering members of their families. ‘The jury in the case of Dennis Canty, on trial for the murder of George M. Rye, rendered a verdict of acquittal. The Presi- dent, upon the recommendation of the At- torney General, granted respites to William Strather, Edward Smith and Edward Win- ston, condemned to die for murder, in or- der to permit an appeal to be taken to the United States Supreme Court upon a point of law involved. John R. Leonard, warden of the District jail, died and the District Supreme Court appointed James H. Har- ris, an employe of the jail, to succeed him. The public school pupils celebrated Flag day with appropriate exercises in the schools. The first step toward the erection of a power house to operate the newly equipped Eckington and Belt railways was taken in the opening of bids for that work; che conferees on the bills affecting these properties reached an agreement, in which the provision of the act relating to the Rock Creek company, granting to that cor- poration the power to purchase all con- necting lines, was, repealed.

He Tells What Its Effect Will Be Upon Future Elections in the South. “I am here to do what I can to help the Passage through the House of the bill re- cently reported from the banking and cur- rency committee. to revise our currency laws—a bill which, in other words, em- bodies the results of the monetary confer- said ex-Governor Bullock of Georgia this morning to a Star reporter at the Ar- lington. Governor Bullock was a delegate froin the Atlanta chamber of commerce to both of the business men’s conventions that were held at Indianapolis, and is, there- fcre, familiar with the personnel and spirit of these gatherings. Continuing, Governor Bullock said: Should Be No Delay. “For the first time since the war the rep- resentatives of the property owning, tax- peying and business elements of the coun- try—north and south—met together to con- iGer, without partisan cr party bias, what was best for the couniry, and’ for them- selves. All their conclusions were reached and adopted with practical unanimity, ard there should be no delay on the part of a republican House in crystallizing those con- clusions into law by the prompt enactment of the bill reported by the House commit- tee. Viewed from a party standpoint only, it will be wise politics to encourage that large number of our best and mosi intelli- gent property-owning pecple in the south who have for the first time declared their independence of their party’s political rule. By enacting into law the financial policy which they have united with the republi- cans and sound money democrats of the nort in formulating, this can be aecom- plished. “My republican friends north cannot un- derstand why our people south adhere in congressional elections to candidates who misrepresent the best interests of our sec- tion on these national issues. It y be said, in explanation, the line question has been the civil and po.ltical relation of the negro. This iss' gene beyond the scope of partisan ‘e; tion. The civil and political rights of the negro are now fixed in the Constitution, and ought to be no longer used to play upon the passions and prejudices of our people. Effect in the South, “Every southern state and each import- ant commercial body in the south was rep- resented at Indianapolis, and if a republi- can Congress will show by its fiscal legis- lation that it is honest in its purpose to give us in the south a national question upon which all can safely divide, you will see our intelligent agricultural, manufac turing, banking and commercial intere: united in selecting representatives in Cor gress wno will not bow down to the dic- tates of the Chicago platform. If the re- publican majority in the House pursue the unwise plan of ‘do nothing’—‘let well enough alone’—and dodge this great finan- cial issue on which the north and the south have so completely agreed, the responsi- bility for coming defeat will be their own.” ee SS SHOWERS TONIGHT.
