The U. S. senate has legislated in favor of the coinage of the silver bullion now held in the treasury, and the issuing of silver certificates covering the same, at the rate of four million dollars a month; and also the issuance of bonds of the government bearing three per cent interest, and not to exceed at any time an aggregate of $100,000,000. Within the last six weeks there was some apprehension entertained that Spain might possibly send a fleet that would make some impression on our sea-coast cities, and thus do immense damage. Such fears, while not entirely groundless, were scarcely justifiable under the circumstances. Our people have by no means been asleep or indif ferent to the situation. At Fort Han cock, Sandy Hook, for instance, guard ing the southern approach to New York harbor, with the other death-dealing machinery, there are three dynamite guns with a range of 5,000 yards, that can fire four shots in seven and a third minutes. The shot is really an aerial torpedo, weighing a thousand pounds and containing five hundred pounds of nitro-gelatine. IJARREST DUBOSC AND CARRANZA. statlvaa 8aa4 Vr i By Datactlva Kallar. Xostrkal, June 7. Lieateaaat Gar raaza aad Seaor DaBoac were arrested 4 4:30 yesterday aftersoos oa capias im which it is alleged that they were boat to leave the country. The capias waa taken in connection with a saic far 926,000 for defamation of .character catered by Detective Kellert The arrest was made at the residence of the Spanish consul general aad the prisoners were immediately taken be fore Judge Matthiea. who released theam ia $1,000 which waa promptly famished, the authorities declining to say. by whom. The writ of capias is returnable ia six days aad no action can be taken until the end of that tbjae unless the prisoners consent to a speedy hearing. In the meantime a new element is introduced into the case. The bodies of Carraaza and DoBosc are the prop erty of Detective Kellert until his claim is satisfied or the case dissolved. The authorities are desirous of having Carraaza and Da Besc leave, a thing they cannot do without forfeiting their bail. As it stands it looks very much as if Detective Kellert had made it im possible for the government to order the men to leave the country nntil the case is settled. Of course they might jump their bail, but their desire is to remain. , Paaars FralM Haaaaa's Fasti. London, June 7.

I hare jast received news of the landing of a large force of American troops a few miles west of Santiago de Cuba. It is said the landing was aided by a force of insargeats, with whom a coalation has been made and who attacked the Spanish batteries, while the fleet ont side bombarded the fortifications and earthworks. It was reported today bat the re port lacks confirmation that the Amer ican squadron forced an entrance into the harbor of Santiago. The report added that the Cristobal Colon and an other Spanish vessel were sank, and that an American ship, whose name ooald not be learned, was blown np. (Copyright. 1888, by New York Journal.) Post au Prince, Hayti, Jane 7. It is reported here that the American fleet has entered Santiago harbor, reduced the forts, passed the Merrimac and de stroyed two of Admiral Cervera's ships. Advices from Santiago also say that oaeofthe American ships was badly daataged, bat no names of vessels are givea. The report goes on to say that acllHi battery at Pnnta Gordawas re 'daced a great force was landed there, 5,000 men being the number given in the dispatch. The Americans were represented as landing siege guns for the reduction of the city itself. The landing party is said to consist of three regiments of iafaatry, three batteries of artillery aad a battalion of engineers. There was practicaliy no opposition to the landing, the Spanish gunners aad soldiers having been driven awoy from the batteries and the shore by the ire of machine guns. Seventeen American vessels are said to have taken part in the engagement. The most persistent efforts to secure confirmation of this story from Santi ago have so far met with no success. What happened to the other ships in Cervera's squadron is not reported. It is certain, however that the Amer icana made a general attack on the place yesterday morning. The American auxiliary cruiser St. Loais has arrived at Mole St. X icholas. Oopyrirated, 16W. by the Associated Press From a Spaniah Correspondent. Havaya, June 7. At 8 o'clock yes terday morning 24 vessels of the Amer ican fleet opened fire upon the forts at the entrance to Santiago harbor and aloag the coast line. The firing ceased aboat 11 o'clock. Further details are aot yet known here. Saaday Aldea, with a Spanish force, attained a fire near Punta Cabroca from.the insurgents and the American warships. The Spanish forces are well en trenched on the line from Sibney to Agandaros and yesterday they checked an attempt of the Americans to land aad repelled them. It is understood here that the mem bers of the Merrimac crew are well treated by the Spanish commander. Laata Daily. IiOSDON, Jane 7. The Hong Kong eorrespoadeat of the Standard says: Advices from Manila say Admiral Dewey has gathered the steamers now Blockaded ia the river to lie off Cavite ia readiness to receive foreigners. The Spaniards are losing arms, ammunition aad field pieces almost daily, so persis tent are the aatives' attack. The na tives are flockiag to Aguinaldo's assist aace, he conducting the campaign on a haauae basis. Ia the course of a pitched battle on May 30 a number of aative auxiliaries deserted the Spanish lines for the insurgents. From the gen era! teaor of the news from Manila there is a right to believe that the city will fall iato Dewey's hands before the arrival of the American troops. DEWEY IS IN CONTROL. Insurgents Guided By Instruc tions of Hero of Manila. P1M0IEM TO BE WELL TREATED- JtoV Oraats tha ECactlTa to Oa Raaay ta Daaa-cr af JTIaat Attar Daway Reoclva Ke lts Haw mm tha Way. WAsaaxoTO, Jaae 7. After a lot of of aaval engage- tha lsadiag of troops and such at the aavy department there at the close of the day one im- ait of aews embodied in re- Admiral Dewey of importaat part tram acinavW by taw iasurgeats at The officials have been more anxious than tiuy cared to botray as to Admiral Dewey's conditiou. They were not seriously apprehensive of personal dan ger to the fleet, but an impression was gaining ground that the admiral had not maintained the same measure of success in his operations in Manila bay that rewarded his first effort. Now the report received goes to show that his plans are working cat admirably that he has succeeded iu placing upon the insurgents the burden of conducting military operations against the Span iards, while he himself is lying in en forced idleness awaiting the arrival of troops and that he has succeeded in pre venting the corruption of the insurgent leaders by the Spaniards, which ap peared at one time to be threatening. Oawey Check luaurgeats. There is some speculation here by anxious minds as to how the insur gents will treat the prisoners they have taken, who are more numerous, it is said, than all the captures made by the Cuban insurgents since their war be gan. It was reported by cable soon after he had secured the co-operation of Aguinaldo that Admiral Dewey would see to it that the insurgents ob served the rules of civilized warfare. This caution was made necessary be cause of the tales of barbarious treat ment of prisoners captured by the in surgents. It is to be hoped that Aguin aldo will see to it that this is observed in the case of the 1,800 prisoners he holds, for it is believed that the nations of the civilized world will hold the United States morally responsible for any excesses committed by the natives. The navy department gave orders yesterday that the double turretted monitor Monadnock, now at Mare Isl and, Cal., should be made ready to sail for Manila within 10 days and the necessary orders were hurriedly tele graphed. The Monterey will not wait for the company of the Monadnock. bat should be off in a few hours under the convoy of the Brutus. Powerfal Plshti&C Macalna. The navy department will procure an other merchant vessel to accom pany the Monadnock on her her 0,000 miles voyage. The Monad nock is a most powerful double turreted monitor. With twin screws and 3,000 horsepower engines she is easily able to make 12 to 13 knots an hour. Built on the general lines of the Amphitrite she has better engines and more power than that monitor. She carries four 10-inch guns in two turrets besides two 4-inch rapid fire guns in a casemate and a numerous secondary battery. Her coal capacity is 250 tons in bunkers and al most as much more storage room can be found. Consequently the Monadnock has the ability to make a longer cruise than the Monterey without replenish ing her coal supply. Yet her supply is too small to permit her to make the passage from Honolulu to the Philip pines unaided. With these two mon itors Admiral Dewey will be able to take care of himself even should the much talked of Cadiz fleet undertake to attack him. The monitors at their maximum draw His feet ot water, or 10 feet less than the Spanish battleship Pelayo and therefore would be able to pick their position in the shallow water where the Spanish battleships could not reach them, and hammer away at them at their heart's content, and presenting themselves so small a mark as to make it difficult for the Spanish gunners to reply effectively. There is no doubt of the Monadnock's seaworthiness, for before being reconstructed at the Mare Island yard she made the entire voyage from the Delaware clear around the Horn to San Francisco, a voyage longer than that made by the Oregon. Deficiency Measure Passed. Washington, June 7. Beyond the passage of an urgency deficiency bill the senate accomplished little Monday. The deficiency measure carries appro priations for the war and navy depart ments aggregating 1 7, 745,000. These appropriations are in addition to the amounts to be carried later by the gen eral deficiency bill. During the greater part of the ression the measure provid ing for the taking of the 12th and sub sequent censuses was under considera tion, but no progress was made toward its completion.

Hong Kong, June 7. New (York World Cablegram.) Another victory was won for the rebels June 2, when they captured GOO Spaniards. Twenty Spaniards were killed and 60 wounded. Of the rebels none were killed and but few wounded. The total number of prisoners in the hands of the rebels is now 1,400. The fighting is stmgoingaa., Manila, May 41 (via Hong Kong, June 7.) The Spanish outposts have been driven in along the line simultan eously and with great slaughter. It is said over 1,000 have been killed. There has been fierce hand to hand fighting for 70 hours, despite the typhoon which is raging. The violent wind3 and torrent of rain render the rifles of the Spanish troops unavailing. The natives easily win any step with their slashing knives. Today the insurgents hold Malabon, Tarlac and Bacoor. They are now at tacking Santa Me3a and Molate, the suburbs of the city, which is completely encircled for a distance of seven miles. A native regiment under Colonel Agui nalda, cousin of the insurgent leader, yesterday joined the insurgents. Three rockets were dropped into the city yes terday. They are supposed to have been a signal for the natives. The governor has issued a dispairing proclamation, begging the insurgents to come to terms, and meanwhile he is arranging to remove all the Spauish population inside the old walled city. He is filling the moats, testing the drawbridges and placing strong guards in the principal streets and artillery along the walls. All the other troops are camping in the suburbs. The weather is terrific. Later. It now appears that the rock ets yesterday were not signals to the natives, but a warning from the Ger man consulate of the approach of the typhoon, issued for the benefit of ships in the harbor. I visited Cavite without, the Span iards knowing it and found there 197 wounded and 5H prisoners, among the latter six Spanish officers. All were well treated. Chief Aguinaldo, in the course of an interview has said that the insurgents are eager to rush upon Manila forth with, but that Admiral Dewey refuses to "allow hordes of passionate semi savages to storm a civilized metropolis. ' Admiral Dewey intends to await the arrival of the American troops. In the meantime the insurgents have been forbidden to cross the Malote river, seven miles south of Manila; other wise the Petrel will be stationed there to bombard them. BIG BATTLE NEAR MANILA. Heaviest Raga gmeat of Preseat Caaaalam Foaght Last Taesday. Hong Kong, June 7. The corre spondent of the Associated Press, under date of June 2, says : "I have traversed the whole region of fighting during the last three days, in spite of tho prohibition. I found the insurgents strongly posted at Caloocan, eight miles north of Manila, and at Bacoor, the same distance south. To the east I fonnd nothing in the way of insurgent intrenchments. "The Spaniards hold the whole Passig river (which falls into the bay a mile below Manila) to the Lagoon. The two sections of the insurgents' forces signal their movements with fire balloons. To the northward, the rising is general and the Spaniards are few. The railway has been cut in several places and the overseers have been warned off. To the southward there has been fierce fighting on the Zapote river between Bacoor and Las Pinas. The biggest battle of the present cam paign was fought last Tuesday, May 31. "The insurgents attacked on the .left branch of Zapote, stormed the batteries for several miles and carried the Span ish intrenchments with knives. June 1 they tried the right branch of Sapote but failed. The Spaniards employed artillery all day, but no casualties are reported. Today there has been only ineffective skirmishes. The country is densely wooded and swampy. Both parties shoot aimlessly. I got in the middle of the firing but nobody was hurt. I believe nobody knew what he was shooting at. Both sides were duf fers. The insurgents, however, are ex cellent in a melee. The Spaniardasay they were victorious yesterday, but that they cannot follow up the victory and annihilate the rebels because of the American warships at Cavite. More over, tbey say it is necessary to save their energies for the American troops. Meanwhile the vicinity of Manila iu an impenetrable network of ambuscade." Fits WUl Meet McCoy. New Yoke. June 7.

Maay purists condemn such a phrase as "ao sort or kind" on the ground of tautology. I ahoald be sorry, however, to see it disappear, because it is a laad awrk in English philology. It is a relic of the fusion of Saxon and Norman French. At that period many phrases of a bilingual character crept into use, and this is one of them. "Truth and honor" ia another, truth being "troth, " or hon or, aa in "by my troth." "Voice" aa a verb is much objected to, coming to us modems as it does from American sources , g., to "voice" the public sentiment. I don't like it and never use it, but it occurs iu Shakespeare. Notoriously many so called Ameri canisms are old English provincialisms. The purists threaten, indeed, to become insufferable pedants. It is now the cus tom of the printer's reader our great authority to treat "none" as invari ably singular, a contraction for uo one. But it is useful as a plural and is so used in Shakespeare e. g., "Speak daggers, but use none." Why may we not continue to say, "I spoke to no wo men at the meeting because there were none present?"

On the first of June, it was announced that General Otis, who has taken up his quarters at Camp Merritt will insist upon the observance of a military dis cipline in the camp from now on and the picnic features which have been observ ed in same quarters will be eliminated and the public only allowed to visit the 6oIdier boya between certain specified hours. The Third brigade consists of: Tenth Pennsylvania infantry, First regiment Colorado infantry, First regiment Ne braska infantry, First troop Utah cav alry, batteries A and B, Utah light artillery. Nebraska boys have about given up the idea of going to Manila on tho next expedition. The order brigading Camp Merritt destroyed their hopes, for it b probable that the men will go in the order of the brigades, and Nebraska ib placed in the third. The expedition this week, it is almost certain, will carry none hut regulars. Nebraska may not even get away on the third flotilla. Minnesota, Kansas, Idaho and North Dakota are expected to go first. Yesterday morning the Nebraska troops began drills in extended order. Ordnance for Nebraskans has been issued and the officers have been meas ured for their Manila linen uniforms. Men of the regiment earned the favor of the commander by exemplary con duct and were granted leave from re treat until tattoo. All went to the Sntro baths.
