THE WEEK ENDING JUNE 25, 1898. The War With Spain. The first military expedition to Cuba, un- der the command of Major General Shafter, arrived off Santiago and the debarkation of troops was safely accomplished within a few hours after its beginning; the ships under Admiral Sampson effectively co- operated, shelling the shores and prevent- ing any resistance on the part of the Span- jards; the troops were landed at Baiquirl, from which point an advance was immedi- ately begun in the direction of Santiago, causing the somewhat scattered Spanish forces to fall back from post to post with little or no resistance; the first serious en- gagement incidental to the advance occur- red Friday, when about 1,000 dismounted American ‘cavalrymen, including eight troops of the “rough riders,” attacked 2,000 Spanish soldiers in the thickets about five miles from the city; after a fierce fight lasting about an hour the Spaniards were driven back; the Americans lost thirteen dead and fifty wounded, the dead including Hamilton Fish, jr., the well-known New Yorker, an officer of the regiment of “rough riders." Cable communication from Guan- tanamo was restored under military au- spices and dispatches were sent during the latter part of the week to and fro between Washington and the scene of operattons. Captain General Blanco notified Commo- dore Watson at Havana that the Spanish government refused to permit an exchange of Naval Constructor Hobson and his men of the Merrimac, in confinement at Santi- ago, for Spanish prisoners in American cus- tody; he also notified him that he would henceforth grant no recognition to flags of truce; the refusal to exchange created a bad impression, which was somewhat less- ened when later in the week Washington was officially informed that the American prisoners had been removed from Morro Castle to the city of Santiago, and were therefore beyond the range of fire from the blockading vessels. It was learned that the dynamite shells thrown into the Santiago fortifications by the Vesuvius had done eon- siderable damage and had caused great ex- citement among the people, who character- ized them as “American earthquakes;” one of the shells, it was understood, destroyed the battery at Cayo Smith and killed the entire garrison. The War Department pre- pared to send reinforcements to General Shafter and purchased eight new transports for this purpose; 3,000 of the troops at Camp Alger were sent southward, on their way to Santiago. Efforts were also renew. ed for the sending of an army of about 2 000 men to Porto Rico, although rumors were to the effect that it was the govern- ment’s intention that the invasion of Porto Rico should be accomplished after the fall of Santiago by the men engaged in the lat- ter enterprise. The monitor Monadnock sailed from San Francisco for Manila with the intention of steaming most of the way under her own power. 7! Spanish fleet that recently left Cadiz under Admiral C mara and stopped at. Cartagena was sight- ed in the Mediterranean east of the latter point, headed eastward, presumably bound for the Suez canal, and by that route to the Philippines; it was officially announced at Madrid that the fleet would go to the Phil- ippines; this fact, however, did not dis- quiet the Washington authorities, for the reason that all calculations showed that before Camara could reach Manila Dewey would be sufficiently reinforced to resist any assault upon him. The Philippine in- surgents formed a provisional government under the presidency of Aguinaldo and no- tified Admiral Dewey that it was their de- sire that the islands should become Ameri- can territory; they continued their active operations against Manila and at latest ac- counts had taken upward of 5,000 prisoners. The continued success of the American campaign caused a reaction in Madrid in favor of a pacific policy, and after an up- roarious session of the cortes, during which the republicans and other factors of the opposition severely scored the government for ite futile prolongation of the war, the legislature was adjourned by order of the queen regent and martial law was pro- claimed; it was announced that in all like- lihood the Sagasta ministry would retire in favor of a Silvela cabinet under Gamazo. It was reported, and later denied, although the denial was not unfversally’ accepted, that a member of the volunteer forces in Havana had wounded Captain General Blanco in an attempt upon his life as an act of revenge for the execution of the as- sassin’s brother; according to this report, Havana was in a state of turmoil, marked by loud cries for Weyler. Rumors were afloat to the effect that Germany intended to participate in the disposition of the Phil- ippines and that negotiations were on be- tween Germany and Spain to this end. Foreign Affairs. The French cabinet crisis continued; M. Ribot and M. Sarrien successively declined to form ministries, and the task was given to M. Peytral, who, after completing an ap- parently satisfactory list, was obliged to desist because of a demand made by the socialist party for a representation in the cabinet. On the second balloting for mem- bers of the German reichstag in the con- tested districts such opposition was shown to the socialists by virtue of combinations that many of, the socialist candidates were defeated. The cabinet by Rudini in Italy resigned after eighteen days of service and a second crisis was precipitated. At the launching of the battle ship Albion near London a heavy wave, caused by the dis- placement of the water as the ship left the ways, resulted in the drowning of about fifty people. It was announced that Great Britain would not undertake naval maneu- vers at this season because of the desire to economize coal on account of the strike of the Welsh miners, It was rumored and de- nied in London that Mr. Joseph Chamberlain intended to leave the Salisbury cabinet to lead the liberal unionists. The engagement of Princess Victoria, second daughter of the Prince of Wales, to Lord Revelstoke was announced. Fierce encounters occurred between Servians and Albanians near Ber- ane. Emperor. William, in an address to the Royal Theater Company, declared that he regarded the theater as one of the im- perial agencies for the national good. Great enthusiasm was shown in Lima, Peru, when it was announced that the Senate of the United States had passed the interna- Uonal bank bill. Congressional. The debate on Hawaiian annexation was begun in the Senate, and, on a test vote, taken Monday, a heavy majority for union was disclosed by a refusal of the Senate to adjourn—44 to 15; several speeches against @nnexation were delivered. The Senate committee on foreign relations authorized Senator Morgan to make a favorable re- port on the Nicaragua canal bill. The Sen- ate finance committee declimed to accede to the suggestion of Secretary Gage that an amendment be passed postponing the op- erations of the war revenue law from July: 1 to July 15. As finally agreed upon by the conferees, the sundry civil bill contained a provision for the government's participa- tion in the Paris exposition, the fund being limited to $600,000. A democratic caucus was neid at the instance of Representative Bailey for the purpose of enforcing, if pos- sible, a rule making the action of caucuses binding upon all members; after much Young. “Truth,”?

Thé House committee on military affairs favorably reported the bills to revive the grade of lteutenant gen- eral and to elevate the adjutant general of the army to the rank‘of major general. Domestic Affairs, The Treasury Departinent hurried prepa- rations for putting the war revenue loan into operation, and as a result of great ac- tivity et the bureau of ehgraving and print- ing many millions of the adhesive stamps required by the law were distributed throughout the countsy. Secretary Gage had reason to suspect that some of the bids for bonds of comparatively small sums from individuals came from employes of banking institutions and took steps to pre- vent such a violation 9f the spirit of the law. The administra! decided to return non-combatants and ¢teWs of Spanish mer- chant vessels: captured *®y -American -war- ships to their respectivé"tountries through their diplomatic representative. Count de Cassini, first ambassador to the United States from Russia, was formally presented and in his speech expressed sentiments of kindliness for the United States. Ex-Presi- dent Cleveland delivered an address at Law- renceville, N. J., befor’ a schcol, in which he deprecated the idea of war, and especial- ly of territorial expansion. The Ohio re- publican convention at Columbus strongly indorsed the action of the administration in the conduct of the war, and also approv- €d_the annexation of Hawaii; the Hanna forces were in control of the convention. Senator Turpie presided over the Indiana state convention and criticised republican war measures. The official returns from the late election in Oregon show a plurality for Geer, reptiblican, of 10,574.

TAXES FOR THE WAR How Funds Will Be Raised by. the Government. WHEN STAMPS MUST BE AFFIXED Business Transactions to Share the Expenses. MEDICINES AND LIQUORS Scores of busiress transactions are now to be consummated only by applying a stamp for the payment of th: war revenue tax. Nearly all of the articles of consump- tion in factory and in the home will be flicitly exchanged if they are not orna- n:ented with one of Uncle Sam’s handsome- ly engraved evidences that the vender or purchaser has made a contribution to help carry on America’s war for the freedom of Cuba. While the. war r2venue bill was to take effect, as a whole, upon the day after its passage by Congress, there are exceptions to this general rule, and various dates are fix2d by the act for the several schemes of District affairs were considered by the | t#8ation to become effective.

The House District committee report- ed favorably the bill to extend Rhode Is- land avenue after amending so as to put the expens> exclusively on the District. The Eckington street railroad bill was per- fected in conference and, as finally pass- ed, neither extended the right of consolida- tion to all the str2et railroads nor. repealed that right now held by the Capital Trac- tion Company. The conferees on tae Dill amending the highway extension law agreed upon the Senate's provision in that Matter and the bill was finally passed in that form. Th2 District Commissioners after consultation with authorities ordered that the old law forbidding the sale of lquor to soldiers, which had been revived, should not be enforced. An unusual num- her of tragedies occurred. William Horton, white, formerly a member of the police force, killed his mistress, Mrs. Jane Nichol- son, in the Armory Square, by cutting her throat with a penknife; he was immedi- ately arrested and confessed his crime. Wilham H. Brooks, an aged white man, was kill2d by the blows of an ax and his wife was desperately wounded; all known circumstances pointed to murder with rob- bery as the motive and suspicion pointed to Robert Funk, a young carpenter, for whom search was inumedllately begun. Fred Eslin, a whit2 schoolboy, was killed by be- ing struck on the head by a lump of coal thrown from a passing Baltimore and Ohio train; Thomas Collins, thé'fireman, was ar- rested for the crime. Samuel Mason, color- ed, made a murderous f&ssault upon his wife at Notley Hall, a river resort, because of jealousy, and w. Samuel Williams, colored, was arrested on a charge of causing the death of,.a four- child, temporarily left in ‘his charge. jam Davis, colored, was found drowned in the river. Burglars® entered 2 house on Washington Heights, and after rifling the premises threw pepper in the eyes of an aged couple. RE a he GENERALLY FAIR.

In such cases a 25-cent stamp will be necessary. People do not like to have their notes pro- tested.
