Commissioner Scott Doex Not Look for Serious Inconvenience to Business. Commissioner Scott of the internal reve- nue bureau saw the President yesterday afternoon. Mr. Scott said that he does not lcok for any serious inconvenience to busi- ness by the revenue stamp law which goes into effect tomorrow. _ “We sent out 30,000,000 stamps yester- gay,” said the commissioner, “and wiil probably get out that many today. Tomor- row we will send out millions, and every- body ought to be able to s2cure-them on Friday for the transaction of business. The large cities of the east will be the last to be supplied.” It is likely that the various stamps for the big eastern cities will not sral | g¢ out until tonight, but they will be in the hands of collectors and stamp deputies by_mornin: The internal revenue authorities caution the public against using the converted two- cent stamps for letter postage. Those stamps are marked “I. R."—internal reve- rue—and will not be legal for letter post- age. Neither will a regular two-cent stamp pay a revenue charge. if any of the revenue stamps are short tomorrow they will probably be of the doc- vmentary class. It is thought the banks will charge on fapers, if they do not pos- sess stamps, and turn in the revenue thus acquired. —————_-2-+-______ Sharkey Wins in One Round. “Tom” Sharkey, the sailor pugilist, put “Gus” Rublin, the Ohio giant, out in al- most record time in the arena of the Greater New York Athletic Club, at Coney Island, last night.

It is said that the steamer car- res from one to three million dollars in gold. It will be remembered that Gen- eral Merritt, in addition to the money necessary for the use of the troops in the near future, asked the President for $100,000 to be used by him as an emergency fund at his discretion, and suggested how this money could be appropriated for such purpose.

Gigned): “EMILIO AGUINALDO.” In Case of Bombardment, Ample provisiens at Jeast hve beon made for the removal of the foreign ‘residents in case of bombardment of Manila, Eight steamers, with the consent of the Spanish captain general and also. Admiral Dewey, have been sent-up the-river, and when 1:0- tice of bombardment ‘s given, two will be ne to the French, one to the Belgians and four to the Chinese subjects, the latter be- ing under the care of the British consul. From a Spanish point of view it is a sreat pity that their position is not strong- er, as they have onty four 8-inch guns ef 1870 pattern, mounted on earthworks on Luneta, to reply to the fire of many more modern and powerful guns of the Ameri- can fleet. Bombardment, which presuma- bly will take place to cover the landing of the American troops, will mean once more the wreck of Manila and its quaint old forts. Its handsome old cathedral will, un- fortunately, be speedily knocked into ruins. The Spanish have concentrated all their energies on defending the front of Manita. it may not have struck them that the Americans may choose to march from Cavite and assault it in. the rear. The survivors of the crews of men-of-war have been formed into a naval battalion on shore to man the batteries. Previous to the bombardment, the American admiral will allow twenty-four to- enable British subjects-and other foreigners to leave, and the British will proceed to Cay- ite, where they will be protected by the guns and crews of the Immortalite. chil- dren to avoid the fearful Y of bombardment. They cannot be with safety into the interior, as the rebels are ~ are rapidly centering on Manila. After the manner in which the natives have been treated, it can hardly he expected that they will be merciful to any Spanish civilians who may be unfortunate enough to fall into their clutches. There are thousands of women and children in Manila, and it seems a pity that the British consul can- not negotiate with both combatants for their removal] to a position of safety. The Three Expeditions. The Secretary of War received a tele- gram this mornirg from Maj. Gen. Otis at San Francisco in regard to the military ex- Peditions wiiich have been sent to the re- lief of Admiral Dewey at Manila. He says that Gen. Merritt accompanied the third expedition, which has just left San Fran- cisco under command of Brig. Gen. M: Arthur. This expedition comprised 197 of- ficers and 4,650 men, and also included thirty-five civilhans, of whom three were Tewspaper men. Gen. Otis says that the three expeditions which already have start- ed for Manila were made up as follows: First, May 25—One hundred and fifteen officers and 2,386 men; Gen, Anderson, corm- manding. Second, June 15—One hundred and fifty- eight officers and 3,428 men; under com- mand of Gen. Greene. . Third, June 27—One hundred and ninety- seven officers and 4,650 men; in command of Gen. McArthur. Making a total of 430 officers and 10,464 men. —————--____ Water Filters in Public Schools, ~ The District Commissioners today con- tinted the contract, made several months eg0 with Walter J.
