This was distinet | from the cannonading heard off Cape Race Saturday night. | The telegraph operator at Trepasse reports concerning the mysterious can- | nonading off that port Saturday night | as follows: About 10 o’clock Saturday night heavy firing could be distinetly | heard in the bay south of Trepasse: lasting about fifteen minutes. T shots came very quickly after each other, some being very loud and heavy, | sufficient to cause the houses here to | Others were short and sharp, | as if from lighter pie { Another cannonading was heard be- | fore daybreak on Sunday. This lasted about twenty minutes Crowds of peo- | ple, aroused by the first reports, flocked to the water’s edge.

Then it was agreed that perhaps there was a naval battle | in progress. | About 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon | a number of Trepassey people saw a | large steamer in the offiing.

For nearly an hour it was in| sight. In Saturday night's cannonading from fifty to sixty shots were fired.

No Certainty as to When the Work on the Revenue Bill Will Be Concluded. Specfal Dispatch to The Call. Call Office, Riggs House, Washington, May 3. The Senate Committee on Finance re- sumed its sitting at 10:30 a. m. to-day, hearing Secretary Gage on the neces- sity for including in the war revenue bill authority for the issuance of bonds. The Secretary supplied the committee all the information in his possession as to the cost of the war up to date, and also the best estimates obtainable of future expenses. Secretary Gage told the committee that the best estimates obtainable in- dicate that for the next two months the war will increase the Governmental ex- penditure about $50,000,000. By time the entire amount in the treasury, with the exception of the gold reserve, will be exhausted and $30,000,000 of the reserve also taken. Mr. Gage also stated it opinion that the revenue crease on account of view of these facts he considered an authorization for the issue of necessary. Hesaidno estimate had been made of the cost of war for a vear hence, as no one could say how long it ‘would continue. Secretary Gage told the committee that he had not been furnished any ac- curate estimates of the cost of the war by the War and Navy departments and the committee then decided to summon the heads of those two departments for the purpose of getting their ideas. Secretary Alger told the - Finance Committee that he thought $150,000,000 would be sufficient for the extraordi- to be his would de- the war. In nary expenses of the War Department | for the next year, occasioned by the Spanish war. Secretary Long said he had not the | data upon which to furnish the com- mittee with estimate for his depart- ment, but that he would sent a com- munication covering the points. ‘When the committee adjourned to- night there was no certainty when the work on the war revenue bill would be concluded. The Democrats had not offered any other proposition and the bond provision had not been taken up with a view of disposing of it. The only two points of importance which are regarded as settled are that the tonnage tax will go out and that the tobacco tax provision will be so modi- fied as to exempt stock on hand.

The cable advices that Spain is has- | tily fitting out other ships at Cadiz | are borne out by later messages, and the most experienced naval officers | iprrdlcl that the closing battle of the | war will soon be fought in Cuban | | waters. The concentrated _Spanish ships of the Cape Verde squadron, the | Cadiz fleet and such auxiliary cruisers | as can be pressed into service, it is pre- | | dicted, will cross the Atlantic to make | | one desperate effort to relieve Havana | and to preserve to the Spanish crown | | the Pearl of the Antilles. In no other | | way, it is argued, can Spain hope to strike a decisive blow, and unless such | a blow is struck the end can only be a question of time. | Under instructions from Washington | Admiral Sampson has held his fleet in- | tact to meet the Spanish squadrons. | Should it be made clear that they do | } not intend to cross the ocean the signal will be given for the seizure of Porto ico and the bombardment of Havana. | The subtle but no less powerful in- | fluence of the powers is already being | brought to bear upon the Queen to | yield without further waste of money and lives, and if Spain surrenders with.. out another blow our victory will be due as much to European diplomacy as | to the skill and courage of our mili- | tary forces. | The State of Texas lies at Key West | loaded with food suvplies intended for | the reconcentrados.

Efforts to Trace the Santa Cruz Dis- auster to Spanish Spies Hove So Far Failed. SANTA CRUZ, May 3.—Coroner Clark says that every clew leading toward the | suspicion that a Spaniard caused the | explosion at the powder works has been followed, but nothing tangible has yet been found. If spies did it he thinks they are among the men killed. In that case the truth will never be learned, | unless confederates make a confession. | In the absence of positive evidence the | verdict of the Coroner’s jury will be | that the explosion was caused by acci- | dent. The inquest will last two days. | The output at the powder works is now 5000 pounds of smokeless and 12,000 pounds of brown powder daily. The only delay will' be in the manufacture of infantry smokeless powder, but there | for three months. This powder was | manufactured in the destroyed mills. The powder used at Manila was made | at the works here and was shipped to Hongkong nine weeks ago. A guard of thirty men is now at the mills. Every employe must have a vord, the same as though under military rule, before gaining entrance. About sixty men are now employed in rebuilding the destroyed plant, which will be in operation in three weeks. None but skilled labor is employed.

To many women a full statement of their troubles to a male physician is al- most impossible. The whole truth may be told to Mrs. Pinkham because she is a woman, and her advice is freely offered to all women sufferers. Mrs. O. E. Lapp, of 19th and N Sts., Galveston, Texas, whose letter is printed below, was completely discouraged when she first wrote to Mrs. Pink- ham. Here is what she says: “DEAR MRS. PINEnAM:—1 wrote to you some time ago, telling you of my ills, but now I write to thank you for the good your remedies have doneme. I haveused two bottles of Lydia E.
