troyed by water and smoke. The total

xioft .the satire session Thursday the
senate had anaer? consideration the
postoffice appropriation bil1 The meas
ure carries "ftfy.z.aw', being very
much the heaviest oixll tne appropri-
ation bills.. The most Important actios
taken upon the measure was the adop
tion of an amendment offered by Till'
man (S. C), reducing the number of
deliveries of mail in all cities of the
country to a number not exceeding four
each day. The amendment was
sharply antagonized as a blow to bnsi
ness interests in the large cities, but
the feeling of the senate was such, that
despite the vigorous opposition it pre
vailed by a decisive majority.
A lively debate was precipitated by
an amendment of the committee strik
ing out the appropriation of. $2,000,001)
for rural free delivery.
The proposition was discussed for
nearly two hours, Chandler (N. H.),
and Butler (If. C), leading the fight in
favor of rural delivery. By the close
vote of yeas, 25 ; nays, 2a, however,
the committee was sustained and the
bill now carries no appropriation for
such delivery.
An important amendment to the bill
was one which will prevent star route
contractors from subletting Jtheir con
tracts.
In order to get their money they must
be able-"to swear that they performed
the service themselves.
Just before the adjournment the sen
ate passed an important. wax .measure
authorizing the president and general
officers of the army to supply 'the Cuban
insurgents with arms and munitions of
war and empowering officers of the
army serving: in Cuba to supply needy
inhabitants of the island with medi

approval of the house. A number of
minor bills were also passed. The

Xewt Cemea-From General Iacret and
Is Authentic Captalu Dofit Ea
Konte to Washington.
Tampa. May 7. A telegram from
General Lacret, received here tonight,
gives the information that Major Smith,
who on April 24, landed at Canbnen to
escort a pirty of newspaper correspond
ents to General Gomez' camp, has been
captured by the Spaniards and killed.
The messasre was signed by a Cuban
officer named Lorens. Ho has been
with Cantain Dorsfc of- the Fourth
cavalry, who, with two other officers,
was. sent by General Miles to confer
with the insurgents. Captain Dorst
reached America today and is duo in
Tampa tonight, en route to "Washington,
where he will lay "beforo tho president
and his advisers the information he
gained.
The telegram regarding bmith is
Ibrief. It simply says that when his
captors discovered his identity and
nationality, they beheaded him. The
news is regarded as authentic. Noth
ing is said of the fate of the newspaper

Sner Canal Open for All War Vessels.
Washington, May 7. "If Spain de
sires to send a neet to tne .rniiiipine
islands to attack Commodore Dowey's
forces she is at perfect liberty to send
it through the Suez canal," was the
statement made by a high official
of.the state department. "Of course,"
he continued, "the serious question of
coal supply would greatly harrass her,
but if tho American vessels can find
dealers willing to take the risk of vio
lating the neutrality laws of tho nation
in which, their coal piles are located
they will probably be willing to do the
same thing for the Spaniards, provided
the latterpay the necessary. I doubt
very much if this government would
direct Commodore Dewey's force to
leave Manila and proceed .to the Med
iterranean for the purpose of harrass
ing Spanish commerce in that sea and
of . attacking Spanish ports which lie
upon it, but it would be possible for
.American men-of-war to reach the
3 Mediterranean through the Suez if they
were ordered 'to do so. Thereis a great
deal of popular ignorance on this point.
As a matter of fact, the Suez canal is
open to belligerents."
Activity at tho Canaries.
Liverpool, May 7. Steamers arriv
ing from the Canaries report that the
United States consul nt Las Palmas left
suddenly with plans of Las Palmas' har
"bor. They say, also, that there are
12,000 Spanish troops in Grand Canary
alone, under General Sngara, most of
whom are armed with Mausers. Every
Spaniard and Canarian has been pressed
into the service and the business of fruit
packing was Jof t to the women. Forti
fications were rapidly being constructed
and a new fort on the hillside at Las
Palmas, facing these, will mount heavy
guns. Military authorities were taking
possession of buildings of British sub
jects, for which they refused to pay, or
make exchanges, and tho government
was selling at auction all sorts of mo
nopolies, arms, paints and the like, in a
desperate attempt- to raise revenue.
Flying Squadron In Trim.
Old Point Comfort, Va., May 7.
Yesterday's developments in the flying
squadron would seem to indicate that
Commodore Schley, one of tho best
strategists and most daring men in the
navy will be given a chance for action
within a few days. The cruiser Min
neapolis arrived hero yesterday after
noon at "5 o'clock and tho New Orleans
arrived early this morning. These ad
ditions make a squadron of exceptional
fighting ability. The New Orleans, as
u fighting vessel, is superior tohe Co
lumbia which was detached, and tho
Scorpion, with her splendid armament,
helps to fill out a squadron that will
give a good account of itself. The Min
neapolis was ordered to Newport News
for coal immediately on her arrival.

to the liigh price of bread, and the Cler

the disorder:
A royal decree issued today proclaims
martial law throughout Tuscany, one
of the most fertile and best cultivated
parts of Italy.
There was a renewal-of serious riot
ing at Florence, tho capitalof Tuscany,
last night, and there were further dis

At both places a number of rioters were
killed or wounded by troops detailed to

Martial law has been proclaimed at
