These Receipts Will Not Be Turned | Into the Treasury but Will Be Classed as a Military Contribution. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, July 9.—A Washington special to the Herald says: One of Ma- Jor General Merritt's first official acts as military governor of the Philippines after the city of Manila is firmly in possession of the United States forces will be to declare that port open to commerce. ‘When this is done President McKin- ley will make public the schedules which have been prepared fixing tariff duties that must be paid on goods im- ported into the islands. These sched- ules have been prepared by the Treas- ury Department and are now in the possession of the President, but they will not be made public until the time for putting them into eifs Revenues will be collected by a toms expert gent out by the Treasury Department, who will act under the directions of General Merritt. As long as the cus- toms are collected under direction of the military governor they will not be turned into the treasu: as part of the ordinary customs receipts of the coun- try, but will be ounted as a ‘‘mili- tary contribution. The tariff schedule for the Philippines will not follow closely the United States tariff rates in the Dingley law, but are based on rates that Spain had in force, with such modifications as seem de- sirable. It is expected that the port of Ma- nila will be the first one at which the hew tariff will be put into operation, but it will be extended to such other ports in the islands as General Mer! may open from time to time, and a to the Ladrone Islar which will be under the jurisdiction of General Mer- ritt as wiil also the Carolines, if they are taken from Spain before that coun- try sues for peace. If the islands are permanently held by the United States the decision as to what revenue and other laws are to be enforced will rest with Congress. tt Took Ice for the Hospitals.

PORT ANTONIO, Jamalca, July 9.— The ship Bargett of New York, which | has been lying in the harbor here awaiting for a chance to go to a Cuban port and remain outside with provisions to sell, left to-night. Her captain ob- tained permiesion from Admiral Samp- son to lie at Guantanamo until Santi- ago is taken. The Bargett took over ice for the hospitals. ———— Advences made on furniture and planos, with or without rempval. J. Noonan, J017-1023 Mlesion. PLUCKY WORK Alone Pursued the Big Aifonso XIII. BOAT CREW’S ADVENTURE ‘ 2 ?ROWS ALMOST TO THE VESSEL AFTER IT IS GROUNDED. Made the Target for a Storm of Bul- lets, but Escapes Without a Man Having Been Hit. Special Dispatch to The Call. KEY WEST, July 9.—There is now | little doubt that the Spanish steamer | destroyed by the Hawk, Prairie and | Castine at Mariel on Wednesday last was the transatlantic liner Alfonso XIII of nearly 6000 tons. Although the American ships were unable to approach close enough to clearly establish her identity, on ac- | count of the brisk fire from the steamer {and shore batteries, her appearance | corresponded almost exactly with the | description of the Alfonso XIII given in Lloyd's. The destruction of the ship was a daring piece of work. The credit does | not all belong to the Prairie, whose big | guns finally encompassed the Span- | fard’s ruin and left her a mass of blaz- ing, burning wreckage on the beach. | The work of the little converted yacht | | Hawk was heroic to a degree. It was | she who first discovered the enemy and | alone gave chase, running back a short | distance when the Spaniards drew in under the Mariel batteries and close to | the two Spanish gunboats lying in the | harbor. Before seeking aid, however, the Hawk lowered a small boat, manned | by Ensign Schofleld and a crew of six |men. In the bright light of the tropi- cal moon they pulled boldly to within a ship's length of the Spaniard after she had gone aground, their mission be- ing to learn her name. From the time they left the Hawk until their return { the small boat and her crew made a | brilliant target for the machine guns and small arms aboard the steamer {and an incessant fire was directed at | them. | Nothing daunted they drew close enough to hear spoken orders on the enemy's deck. Shots were flying all |around them, but none struck them and | they were eventually compelled to re- turn to their ship without having ful- | filled their purpose. | The fire, not only from the Spaniards, | but also from the Mariel tower, a sand | battery and Spanish gunboats, con- tinued until the Castine and Prairie came up and silenced them and de- stroyed the Alfonso XTIIL Dry Docks Repaired. WASHINGTOR, July 5.—Admiral Bunce sent the welcome news to the Navy De- partment to-day that the repairs on the | big dry dock at the Brooklyn navy yara | bad been completed.

More Than One XHundred Bodies Buried by Sampson’s Orders, but Mutilated Remains Are Seized by Vultures. Copyrighted, 1838, by the Associated Press. OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 7 (by the Associated Press dispatch boat Dauntless, via Port Antonio, July §, by way of Kingston, Jamaica, July 8.—The vessels which compose Admiral Cer- vera’s squadron, converted into wreck- ed charnel houses, are littering the Cu- ban coast, and the scenes of desolation, ruin, horror and death baffle descrip- tion. At the entrance of the harbor of San- tlago de Cuba lies the Reina Mercedes. Westward, five miles from the harbor, is a torpedo-boat destroyer stuck fast in the rocks, close in shore and batter- ed by the surf. Rocks jutting out of the water in front of where she lies hide her hull from view. Her davits and the top of her conning tower alone mark her resting place. Visible from the sea a few miles fur- ther on, in an inlet embraced by two mighty arms of black rocks that extend out half a mile, are the remains of the twin cruisers Infanta Maria Teresa and Almirante Oquendo, formerly the pride of the Spanish navy. On beyond lies the Vizeaya, a- mass of ruins, and forty-two miles away from Santiago de Cuba the Cristobal Colon reposes helpless on her side, with her smoke- stacks under water. The Infanta Maria Teresa and the Almirante Oquendo stand upright stuck fast on the rocky shoals. All that is left of them is their outer hulls, the heavy armor defying total anni- Inside of them the work of destruction is complete. The bollers, | engines, bunkers and magazines have been blown into unrecognizable masses of twisted melted iron. Exploded shells, burned rifles and revolvers, pleces of yellow brass work and gold | and silver coin, melted by the intense heat, are strewn all over the remains of the once-proud armored -crulsers, whose protective decks only stand in places. But the most ghastly and horrible sights in these steel coffins are the mangled, scarred and charred bodies of hundreds of brave sailors, sacri- ficed for their country. Buzzards are feeding off them, and others are hover- ing over the wrecks. On the beach flocks of vultures sit in | silence, watching for the sea to give up its dead. Every tide adds to the tale of horror, washing up such objects as, for instance, a sleeve inclosing a wasted arm, others portions of the hu- man body gnawed by sharks and countless relics of the, battle. Attention has been given to the burial of the dead of the enemy and over 100 bodles taken from the ships or washed ashore have been interred upon the beach by Sampson’s order. Those which now remain are either almost totally consumed by fire, charred beyond belief or lie in the 0F THE HAWK | depths of the sea. These form the food | of the buzzards, who keep constant | vigil about. The buried remains lie In !a confused mass, unnumbered and un- | named, In a huge pit on the sandy | beach, where the vessels went ashore. | A rude wooden cross from the wreck- age alone marks the grave—a grave over which Spain may well mourn.

Twenty Thousand Cubans Being Fed at the West Side of the Harbor From Supplies Furnished by the Rb¥d Cross. " Copyrighted, 1898, by the Assoclated Press. | GUANTANAMO, July 8 (by the Asso- | clated Press ‘dispatch-boat Cynthia, [ via Port Antonio and Kingston, July 9).—Advices received by Commander McCalla of the Marblehead from the city of Guantanamo show that the deaths from starvation average fifteen daily. General Perez, the commander of Guantanamo, has given up hope of succor, and the town could readily be taken were it worth while to risk the lives of the American troops. The en- trance from the upper to the lower bay is patrolled nightly by steam ldunches. The gunboats in the upper bay have not shown themselves for | several days. Port Captain Fernandez of Baracoa, | with three officers, was captured by | Commander McCalla as they ran into | this harbor for news. They did not | see the Americans until too late. Y | Thousands of Cubans, some estimates placing the number at 20,000, are being | fed at the camp on the west side of the harbor with supplies furnished by the Red Cross Society. The health of the marines at Guan- tanamo is good, but the same cannot be said of those at Baiquiri, where forty of the hundred men are on the sick list, suffering from low fever.

WASHINGTON, July 9.—The big French warship D’Estainge has arrived at Havana with the French admiral on board. The French authorities will also send a warship to Santiago. MISSISSIPPI'S NEW SENATOR. | Willlam Van Amberg Sullivan of Ox- ford, at present representing the Second | District in Congress, who was appointed | by Governor McLaurin as United States | Senator to succeed the late Edward C. | Walthall, will be one of the youngest | members in the upper house of the Na- | tional Legislature, being aged only a few | months over 40. He is a native of the | State, and has always been active in poli- | tics, but has been averse to holding office | himself, having accepted the nomination | for Congress in 189 only in order to break | a deadlock which had continued for sev- | eral days. He is a lawyer of marked abil- ity, and as a stump speaker has gained many admirers, His selection as Senator, while practically unexpected, has beer received with general satisfaction. Mr. Sullivan_was born near Winona, December 18, 1857. After attending a coun- try school he went to the University of Mississippi, and later to Vanderbilt Uni- versity, being graduated from the latter institution in 1875 Turning to the law, | he begnn practice at Austin, but in 1878 he moved to Oxford, where he has since re- sided.

A To Command the Auxiliary Fleet. WASHINGTON, July 9.—Captain John R. Bartlett has been ordered by Secretary Long to take command of the auxiliary fleet of the United States. Captain Bart- lett relieves Admiral Erben, at present located at New York City. He will trans- fer the headquarters of the auxfliary fleet to the Navy Department. Captain Bart- lett is at presept in charge of the navy intelligence buréau, one of the most im- portant functions of the navy department at this time. He also organized and direct- ed the signal system which has proved to be so valuable. In addition to these duties which he retalns, he assumes command of | a_fleet of no less than 33 vessels, so that altogether Captain Bartlett has one of the most extensive assignments in the navy. - Making Gas for Balloons. TAMPA, Fla., July 9.—A gas plant is being completed by the Government here. The work is in charge of Major Reber, who is attached to the signal corps. Gas will be made here and placed in cylinders and sent to Cuba for use in the balloons, it having been determined that this can be done bet- ter than by taking the ~as plant over. Besides the big 30-foot observation balloon a number of small balloons are to be sent over. .These are not for ob- servation, but for signaling. Each will be painted a different color, and one will be anchored over each division of the army. l Being | given carte blanche by the Secretary of | | on July 5 ninety Spaniards appeared jon the hills west of Baiquiri and opened fire.

ASKS HIS PEOPLE TO GIVE THANKS Archbishop Ireland Issues an Ad- dress in Accordance With Mec- Kinley’s Proclamation. ST. PAUL, July 9.—The following, which explains itself, has been issued by Archbishop Ireland: “The President of the United States has asked, by proclamation, the people of the United States, at their next meeting for worship, to offer thanks to Almighty God for the victories gained by our army and navy, and to pray with earnest fervor that the Almighty | may, in his love for the children of | men, speedily remove from us the af- | flictions of war, and bring to our | dear land the blessings of restored peace and to the domain ravaged by the cruel strife the boon of security and | tranquillity. | “In accordan = with the request of the | Chief Magistrate of the nation in all | the churches of this dlocese on next | Sunday after the high 1.ass the | Te Deum will be chanted in thanks- | giving for the victories gained and the | Litany of Jesus will be recited for the | speedy granting of peace to the nations | now engaged in deadly warfare.” The archbishop will himself preach in the cathedral on Sunday morning, | his theme being this proclamation by | the President.
