:IepOTt CfllTeetllj.Tarapa That TrOOgS senate thiB.wesk fesln tho war-'reYsnUo
bill -whick 13 expected o reachrsM
body early in the week. It will bere-
ferred at once to the committee on
finance, and probably will bo reported
back Wednesday or Thursday.
A meeting of the finance committee
has been called for today with the view
on the part of the Republican members
of having the consideration of the bill
in committee begun, informally. They
have even intimated that they may ask
that a vote be taken at: this meeting
with the view of reporting, the biD. as
soon as it is referred. y
The Democratic members of the com
mittee will oppose this program as they
desire opfortanity to have various
amendments considered. It isnow be
lieved that they will offer a provision
for a tax on all producing-industries,
another, for an inheritance .tax and a
third foe Bon-interest bearing treasury
notes. It is also probable that an
amendment-will be suggested for the
isaaance of $100,000,000 in greenbacks
to take the place of -those outstanding,
which are snpposed to have been de
stroyed. They mil seek to have the
bond provision of the bill eliminated
entirely on-the plea that the, time has
not arrived for a bond issue.
There is a possibility that the Repub
lican members of the committee may
amend the bond provision, as there $s
more or less dissatisfaction with it
among Republican senators.. 6ne of
the changes suggested is 'a reduction of
the amount of the bonds.
When the bill reaches the senate the
opposition, will insist upon having time,
for the various factions to state the
reasons for their opposition and it is
now predicted that two weeks will bo
required for debate. While they will
insist upon the elimination of the bond
feature they will all state that they
will vote for bonds, later if war should
be prolonged sufficiently long to require
their issuance.
The program of the senate until the
revenue bill is reported is uncertain.
The postoffice appropriation bill proba
bly will be reported and passed and the
omnibus claims bill may be taken up.

if the army was preparing for an inva

Aleer replied: "We are preparing for
immediate, action and we try to keep so
prepared, but plans made today may of
necessity have to be changed tomorrow,
and that i3 why we are compelled to

Though the governor of the city, En

eminent all the large stores of food in

ness with small stocks, the prices
doubling day by day. Monday meat
was 40 cents a pound, Tues

No Direct Report Expected From Dcyrej
Jor Two Days.
Y'-WASHiXGTOJr, May 2. Joy beamed
fea every countenance, at the navy de
partment this morning and the officials
exchanged enthusiastic congratulations
on Commodore Dewey's victory as they
entered the department to tako up their
daily tasks. Many of tho officers were
tired and worn to the verge of nervous
prostration by tho exhausting labors of
the last few weeks, but all fatigue was
forgotten for the moment as they
stopped to talk of the battle of Manila.
There was anxious inauiry from, all
sources for some kind, of news of the
details of tho fight. It was" realized
by the officials that nothing can be cx
pected directly from Commodore
Dewey in tho usual course for at least
two days more. -There is, however,
possibility that some information, at
least more reliable and freer from color
than that which comes from Madrid,
may be f orthcominghrongh the Brit
ish .foreign office. The cabled report
that the British consul general at Ma
nila, after the conflict, held a confer
ence with Commodore .Dewey indicates
clearly that he is at least in possession
of the American story of the naval bat
tie, and probably has been acquainted
with the" extent of the loss suffered by
the American ships. It is not doubted
that if the opportunity offera tho con
sular officer will communicate promptly
the facts to his home government, and
it is just as possible that he has been
requested by Commodoro Dewey to see
to it that a brief and fair statement of
the facts ars transmitted to the United
States government.
Secretary Alger declared that it was
a glorious victory," but, in common
with other officials of the administra
tion, declined to make extended com
ment on it. Navy and army circles,
after manifesting throughout tho day
the greatest eagerness forx news from
the Philippines, received with intense
joy the news from Admiral Dewey's
fleet. Their satisfaction that tho defeat
of the Spanish had been overwhelming
was strengthened by reason of tho
news coming first almost wholly from
Madrid and they wero quickly unre
served in expressing their gratification
upon the signal triumph of tho Amer
ican forces.
Acutnaltla'5 Policy.
New York, May 2. A copyrighted
cablegram from Singapore to" the World
says : Upon his arrival at Hong Kong
General Aguinalda, the insurgent
eader of tho Philippines, will probably
be transferred to an American dispatch
boat to join Commodore Dewey at Ma
nila. Aguinalda's policy, after the.
Philippines have been enptnre'd, em"
braces the independence of tho islands
and the internal affairs to be controlled
under European and American advisers.
The insurgents desire American protec
tion, temporarily at leas, on tho.samo
lines as proposed after tho Cuban cam
paign. The Echemo includes freo

Des Moines, April 29. Governor
Shaw yesterday took an open part in

speeches to the men oa the field and

Washington, May 2. It can be
stated on authority that the president's
instructions to Commodoro Dewey do
not involve specifically bombardment
of the city of Manila, but the commo
dore was instructed to do whatover was
necessary within tho limits of civilized
warfare to take possession of the island,
.and if a bombardment is necessary to
this end one will take place. It is ex
pected, however, that our Asiatic
squadron will not bombard the city of
Manila unless it harbors troops who are
operating offensively against us.

RhssUb Sympathize With Spain.
London, April bO. The Moscow cor
respondent of the Standard says : Pub-.
ic opinion m Russia,- so far as it is ex
pressed, sympathizes with Spam.
Apart from admiration for tho courage
that ventures upon a conflict with an
overwhelmingly superior antagonist,
Russia has received a severe blow in
the suspected friendly agreement be
tween the United States and England.
The Russians do not forget placing
their fleet at the disposal fit the north
in the war of secession in 1861 and they
are bitterly aggrieved that the United
States is not equally mindful of this
service now.
