The imwement of troops to Tampa Is be
lieved to embrace not only the colored troops
but all the artillery stationed here as well.
The shipment of the Ninth cavalry , follow
ing the sudden frpanturc today -of two bat

WASHINGTON , April 2S. Before the < k
bate on the war revenue bill was resume
In the house today an urgent war measur
was pa.sod , by unanimous consent , to repca
the limitations upon the purchase of quar
tcrraastcr's supplies during the existing wa
with Spain.
Mr. Payne ( rop. of New York , a mcmba
of the ways and means committee , was th
first speaker on the war revenue bill to
day. In the course of his remarks Mi
Payne said that In disciplined armies and I
seasoned soldiers , Spain at the present ha
the advantage , and that It was therefor
the part of prudence to supply the government
mont with all the pecuniary means ncces
sary to rccurlt aad prepare our army to
the Held.
He combattod the opinion ot Mr. Saycr
that $300,000,000 would be sufficient. Ou
war preparations were costing $25,000,000
month. With armies In the field the ci
pemllture would bo much greater.
Mr. Wheeler (1cm. ( ) of Alabama , a mem
ber of the committee , announced oppos
tlon to the bond proposition , but said If
was not stricken out he would feel Impelle
to vote for the measure.
Mr. 'Dockery ' ( iem. , Alo. ) dUcussc-d the con
dtlons | of .the treacury. He objected to th
leaders on the majority side picturing to th
country a banktupt treasury In order to la ;
a foundation for bond Issues.
Mr. Dalzo'il ( rep. , Pa. ) , la support of th
bill , said that the bonds proposed to b
floatoJ by 1 10 pending bill could not b
avoided. Ino ordinary and extraordlnar.
revenues of the govctnmcnt would not b
sufflsCent to prcaecute a great war.

as Its most beneficent feature. U opene *
the 'oar to patriotism by giving those \\h

'Mr. ' LMcJMIllIn ( dem. , Tenn. ) criticised aom
of the Internal revenue features of the bll
a1 ? especially onerous on the poor , and arguei
that the wealth of the country shouU bea
a greater proportion of the war taxes. iH
quoted 'Secretary Gage as sayKig that $500 ,
000,000 was sufficient to prosecute the war
As there were now In the treasury $200,000 ,
000 , ho contended that a bond authorlzatlci
was unnecessary.
Mr. Hopkins ( rep. , III. ) commended th
Mil as the beat that could be framed t
raise extraordinary revenues. Over $35,000 ,
000 would bo obtained from beer and to
bacco , articles of voluntary consumption
The remainder would come from tonnag
taxation and from the stamp tax , whlc !
would fall mainly on the classes able to paj
The bond feature of the bill had been urged
ho said , by the patriotic administrate
which was to prcsecute the war.
Ho derided the Income tax proposition o
the minority and was especially caustic li

$58,000,000 ct Greenbacks. In one year o
the civil war the greenbacks had cost th
government $300,000.000. *

'Mr. ' Henderson ( rep. , la. ) made an clorjuen
appeal to the member * to lay aside part
politics and give cash without reserve to th
government to prosecute the war. He ha
believed there would be no war , but It ha
coma Ho despised war , but the chief exaeu

ConfereVee ht 'Sew York.
WASHINGTON.April 28. Secretary Gagi
returned thta nvy lfg from New York , when
ho had a contprcgcp yesterday with prom
Inent bankers lorcp/ird ; to the proposed bom
Issue for raising pqr tund.
In speaking today ot the- conference , tin
secretary said that-the principal purpose o
his visit .to NQW Yjork was to obtain fron
representative financiers and capitalists thcli
views on the provoked bond Issuo. Ho had m
definite proposition to make and none wa :
expected from the bankers. The result o
the conference , however , was eminently sat <
lafaclory.
All seemed disposed to do any and every
thing possible to glvo any needed fliHticIa
tupport to the government In the prawn :
emergency , although there would be m
llnanclal inducement for capitalists to Invcs
In 3 per cent bonds when time loans wct <
bringing G per cent , and even more. Thi
question ot profit would bo put to one sldi
and whatever assistance the govcrnmen
ueeded would be forthcoming.
All favored the popular loan Idea am
thought that the people nhould bo given at
opportunity to Invest In the new Iswie. Som <
of the bankers expressed doubt as to thi
ability of the government to place among pco
plo of small means as much as $100,000,001
of the bonds at 3 per cent , as many of tin
savings banks throughout the country an
paying 3 % and 4 per cent.
However , they were willing to assist li
disposing of whatever was left , and they hai
no doubt that the whole amount offerei
would bo subscribed for at once , and poaslbl ;
later on three times over.
Meat of the Lankery present thought tha
the first Issue should bo $200,000,000. War
they knew , was an expensive business , acn
although there might be no need for tha
amount , In all probability there would be
and In any event It was always brat to b
prepared for every contingency. Thlu amount
with the $220,000,000 now in the. treasury am
the $1CO,00,000 a year which It is thought wll
be raised by the pending war revenue bll
will put the financed of the country on a vcr
satisfactory bisls.
The secretary was much gratified at th
patriotic spirit manifested at the confercnc
and he has no doubt of the hearty and dls
interested support of the leading capitalist
of the country In any emergency.

ay they expect the first big war ncno from
the Philippines , as Dowcy must cither cap-
lure a Philippine port aa a base of opera
tions , or sail for San Francisco.
It Is expected that the other European
powers holding poQse > ulcns on the Chinese
coast will adopt Great Britain's rules as
to the conditions under which ships ot bel
ligerent powers may shelter In their ports.
No matter how well Inclined toward the
United State. ' , China undoubtedly would be
obliged , under European pressure , to join
la the ime 'practice , thus Admiral Dewcy
will find that having secured ono supply of
coal at a port belonging to ono of theac
nowen that port will be practically closed
to bis ehlrs , fcr ho would not be permitted
to enter them again for the same purpose
within three months , a space of time that
would consume the amount of coal that
can be carried on shipboard ,
This state of affairs strongly accentuates
the unwlso , policy that has prevailed In the
past of falUix to i-'acure coaling station *
In remote parts of the world like Asia.
Admiral Dewcy , because ot this policy , li
under the nccefalty now of capturing a porl
from the enemy In which he may stay ae
long as he ploiscs and his position , consequently
quently , Is much more perilous tha < n that ol
the Cuban blockading squadron.
The admiral Is bcllovcd to have sailed al
2 o'clock yesterday from Mlrs bay , China
for the Philippines. Assuming that his squad.
ron Is traveling at the prescribed rate of ter.
knots , It Is calculated at the Navy department -
ment that he should occupy about sixty hour ;
In the passage to Manila , which will bring
him oft that port early Saturday morning
It Is probable that If the Spanish fleet cun b (
driven Into any harbor under the protcctlor
of tha batteries , ( Admiral Dewcy will detach
sonic of his ship * to blockade the port t (
keep them there while using another part ol

WiASHLN'GTON , April 28. The republican
members of the ways and means committee
held a meeting today athlch fifty amend
ments to the war revenue bill were agreed
to. These will bo offered In the house "o-
morrow. Many of them are mere verbal
amendments. 'But ' some are of considerable
importance.
Ono of these exempts mutual and cooperative
ative life Insurance companies from taxation.
The tax on insurance companies Is trans
ferred from the policies to the premiums.
This amendment conforms to the law of 18GG.
The tax on marine. Inland and flro Insur
ance companies Is extended to cover em
ployers' liability associations , glass and all
other special Insurance companies , of which
many classes have grown up in the last few
years.
Railroad telegraphic messages and all
other leased wire messages are exempted by
an amendment limiting the tax .to messages
"on which the company's charges arc paid
or to be collected , "
The tax on chewing gum Is reduced from
1 cent on a 5-cent package to one-quarter of
1 cent. ,
The tax on beer Is extended to include
"beer stored. " The 'amendment was deemed
necessary to cover beer in store.
The tax on licensee for dealers in leaf to
bacco Is reduced from $24 to $12 on those
whoso sales do not exceed $10,000 a year
and from $4S to $24 on dealers whose sales
exceed that amqunt.
The most Important amendment levies a
tax of 1 cent on all pay telephone messages
costing below 25 cents. The original pro
vision .exempted messages for a distance
below thirty miles. Mr. Tawney of Minnesota
seta estimates that this amendment , which
will cover all city and suburban business ,
will raise $5,000,000.

WASHINGTON , April 28. Surgeon Gen
eral Sternberg of the army has received applications -
plications from over 1.200 physicians , who
have offered their services to the government ,
and every mall brings numerous additions
to the list. With a view to answering gen
erally many of these applications , and ol
Indicating the requirements and class ol
physicians who may be called on for serv
ice In the array , he has prepared the follow.
ing circular letter :
The surgeon general highly appreciates the
patriotic motlvca which have Induced this
offer of services In many Instances by t'nose
prominent In the profession nnd enjoying a
lucrative practice , but the labor of answerIng -
Ing these numeious letters Interferes with
the necejsary work of the ofllce , which hna
been greatly Increased by the exigencies
connected with equipping t'ne regular nnd
volunteer armies for Held service.
It therefore becomes necessary to ac-
knowledgi > letters offering service nnd In
quiries relatlnp to the medical department
by circular letters. No appointments are
made In the regular army except nfter ex
amination by nn army medical examining
board , and all applications muit be gradu
ates In medicine and less than 29 years of
age. The surgeon general of the army has
nothing to do with fne appointment of medi
cal otMcers for the volunteer army.
Comparatively few contract surgeons

for service with troopa point ; to Cuba or at
hospitals on the pulf coast only such ns

tions and offers of service will be placed on
flic for future reference , and for selection
of the most available persons for the spe
cial duty required In case of need.
No female nurses will be sent to Cuba or

and Imperial university of Vienna , has pub
lished a'bookiln which he discloses the treat-
mcot In which he claims ho cin Infallibly
determine the eex of a child to bo born-
can make sure the child shall bo a boy , not a
girl.
girl.As
As has been cabled Prof. Schenk Is a
savant of 'European reputation , a learned an-1
serious scientist who does not exploit nil
discovery for mcmcy ; who refuses to treat
patloats for fees , however tempting. As a
scientist und physician of reputation he had
submitted his treatment In confidence to the
Imperial academy of science of Vienna. To
the World ho'ha-1 affirmed this much :
First The sex of the child Is Influenced
solely anil entirely by the mother.
Second 'During ' several stages of Its de
velopment the child unborn is neither male
nor female , but sexless.
Third The blood of n man contains one-
fifth more blood corpuscles than the blood ol
a woman. Blood corpuscles are visible only
under the microscope ; they have a disk-like
shape and they float In the blcod , usual ) ;
adhering to each other , so that under the
microscope a lot of them look like a stock
of coin. These corpuscles carry oxygen In
the blood , "life-giving , nourishing oxygen , "
& 'j Prof. Schenk pitti * It.
Fourth The difference In the number ol
corpuscles In the blood of a man and of a
wotrjKi Is the basis not only of the difference
of oex but of the moral and physical powers
of a man and of \\oman. . In a word , a man
U a man because he has more blood corpus
cle ? .
Fifth If the larger number , the propel
number of corpuscles , can be produced litho
the child before birth , the child will b <
born a male.
Sixth Thla larger number can bo pro
duccd and so 'It ' can be made sure that thi
child will be a male , by giving proper fooi
to the future mother.
In his book , just published , Prof. SchenI
tells what this proper food Is , how the neccs
slty for It Is to be determined , bow long On
treatment Is to continue. That Is to say , IK
adds to the propositions he had already mad <
public these :
FOOD FOR MOTHERS.
Seventh The proper food to glvo the
future mother Is nltrogenlzed food , food con
taining nitrogen In concentrated form and
fat. She must be permitted to have food
containing only so much carbon hydrate tint
she , wlll not suffer for the lack of It.
Eighth The necessity for giving this food
Is to be learned by determining It the woman
secrotcs sugar. Constant and conscientious
tests for sugar ; roust be made. If not the
slightest trace of sugar Is found at any time
before the birth of the child It will be a
male. If sugar Is constantly found before
the birth of the child It will be a female.
The nltrogonlzed food Is given to rid the
future mother's system of sugar. ; t sugar Is
found and then all trice of It disappears un
der the Influence of nltrogenlzed food the
child will be a male.
Ninth It Is absolutely necessary that the
treatment begin three mcnthfl before fecun
dation and continue 'six month- , .
For more than thirty years Prof. Schenk
has been absorbed In studying the devel
opment of embryo of mzn and of the lower
animals and he Is the recognized authority
In this branch of science. In his book , In a
historical review , he repeats the past theo
ries as to parental determination of sex. As
the result of his own observations nn'd ex
periments ho reaffirms the one principle
the nourishment of the future mother Is of
the highest and foremost importance.
He writes that bin long experience has
taught him to first determine whether the
woman secretes sugar , one of the products
of the cumbustlon of food In the system , and
produced whether the woman Is fed with n
variety of good food or whether the Is poor
nnd nourished chiefly by vegetable food , It
she secretes sugar It proves the process of
'combustion Is not perfect , and necessarily
the nourishment ot the future child , even
when It Is but an atom , la Imperfect. Such
an Imperfectly nourished atom Is certain
to become a female child ; all the elements
of the Individual In course of formation be
come female. 'Hut ' If no sugar be accreted.
It proves that the cctnbustlon ot food by the
future mother Is perfect , that the atom Is
qualified to become a male Individual and
that no treatment Is needed. The treatment
Is directed only to eliminate the sugar \\ihen
It Is found by tests. The treatment gives
to the atom a degree ot ripeness that en
ables It to develop Into a male individual or
boy.
boy.Nltrogenlzed food , the process of combus
tion of food , Is changed and perfected.
NITROGEN NEEDED.
When sugar is found , writes the professor ,
It is necessary to give tills kind or that
kind of nltrogonlzed food. The kind to be
given Is not only that which perfects com
bustion , but which alto reduced the woman's
weight. This latter effect , says Prof , Schenk ,
can be obtained by drugs chloroform , tur
pentine , salyclllc and others but ho pre
fers to reduce her weight by proper food ,
such as albuminous food.
Prof. Schenk admits that he does not
know exactly how. the material Influence de-
tecnlnes the sex. The nourishment con
veyed from the mother to the child deter
mines the child's sex , but ho cannot describe
the exact process. Ho admits , too , that
some women cannot bear his treatment ; that
their condition becomes Insupportable when
they are fed on substances containing nitro
gen In concentrated form. Austrian coun
try women , who have always lived on vege
table food , are among these.
The professor cites Che families In which
he has successfully practiced , without men-
Monlns names , of course. Ho more con
fidently reaffirms some of his former state
ments :
"It Is by my own choice that I am the
father ot six sons , four of whom are alive
And strong. I can brlnIt about with human
beings or with animals having one young at
a time that this offspring shall be. male and
with animals bearing maoy together that the
majority shall bo malcti.
"All my efforts are directed toward pro
ducing In the embryo the right number ot
blood corpuscles required by the male. I
have Invariably attained this effect by suit
able nourlnhment of the woman , thus In
fluencing the metabolic process In the cha-ngo
of matter. The proof of my discovery Is that
I can tell by tests whether the mother will
have a son or daughter. If she secretes ab
solutely no sugar tbo child will bo a male.
I have never made a mistake In many year a
In applying thla test. "
