HOUSE REFUSES TO CONCUR Htval Appropriation Bill ii Returned to Conference , DISAGREE ON A TRIVIAL AMENDMENT Srnnlp Propone * for tltr t'c of Their AVnr In- > rntlonn , lint the llonce Dc- cllnm to A emit It. \TASHINGTON , April CO. Today'i gtsslon of the house was devoted chiefly to the con sideration of the conference report on the naval appropriation bill , presented jesterday IT Chairman Boutelle. The report was re jected cfter three hours of debate and fur ther conference will follow. The only ground upon which the fight against the report was made was found In the senate amendment to compensate naval , oJS'eM for government use of their inven tions and authorizing them to have their claims for such compensation adjudicated in the court of claims. Mr Boatelle led the support of the amend ment and Messrs. Cannon and Sayers the op- position. A resolution. Introduced by Mr. Cannon , Inslstlns upon eliminating the amendment , wa agreed to. 118 to 42 , and the naval Mil was again sent to conference. ftlr. Boutelle ( rep. . Me. ) called up the confc'cnce report on the naval approprlitlons Mil In the house to day. The speaker announced that the house adjourned jivncrday pending the dle- pofiltlon of a point of order made by Mr. Cannon ( np. Ill ) , that the conferees had exceeded their jurisdiction "by introducing Into the rjport matter that w-w not in difference between the two houses. The speaker re-eosnized Mr. Cannon. Mr. Can non eild his point was bseed upon the pro- rMcn inserted by the conferees provlaing for additional officers , non-commlssloned of ficcre and l.&OO men in the marine corps. ANXIOUS FOR EARLY ACTION. Mr. Boutelle said be was anxious to secure the earliest possible action upon the naval bill In order to equip and support to the utmost the forces the country had sent to war , to the end that the earliest SUCCCCM to our urmis might be accomplished. ( Accord ingly he vvts not Inclined to Insist upon technicalities that might delay the passage of the bill , but wes willing to make any reasonable arrangement that would give the house a filr opportunltj to consider the amendment in question. After some discus sion Mr. Boutc-lle made a request for unanl- m-us consent that the report be rejected with the right to move to reconsider re served , pending which motion the house should proceed to consideration and debate of the report , each side to occupy one hour nd a half. Jlr. Boutclle's request was agreed to and then Mr. Sajcrs ( dem. Tex. ) had read the oenate amendment directing the secretary o the navy to Lee when necessary inventions of raval officers and authorizing t > uch officers to prosecute claims for compensation there for In the court of claims. Mr. Csnnon presented a resolution declar ing it the sense of congress that officers of the navy were not entitled to compensation for the use or inventions made while In the service of the navv , and that the laws should bo * o amended as to prevent such ccmpen cation. Mr. SajerR spoke in opposition to the amendment relative to compensation for In dentions , declaring the Inventor officers were educated cod employed at the expense of the government , and the tatter was entitled to use without expense the Inventions of such officers. Mr. Shafroth ( sil , Colo. ) spoke in opposi tion to the amendment , and in the course of an Interruption Mr. Cannon pointed out that the amendemnt contemplated only offi cers of the navy end made no mention of other emploe * . OFFICERS ENTITLED TO PAY. Mr. Walker ( ren . Mass ) addressed the house in support of the amendment , inslst- , Ins that the government had no right to appropriate without compensation the inven tions of its naval officers. Mr. Bromwell ( rep. . 0) spoke for the amendment , and Mr. Moody ( rep , Mass ) fol lowed In opposition , declaring the government took Its raval officer * almost from the cradle and carried them to the grave , and should be entitled ta their inventions. llr. Dockcry ( dem. . Mo ) opposed the amendment. It would give a monopoly to certain officers. Proceeding , be euld it was , a most unusual feature to be Introduced into an appropriation bill , and It looked like there was something wrong In the proposition , and an effort wan being irade to force It through under the stress of circumstances incident to war time. iMr. Hepburn ( rep. , la ) advocated the amendment , and in doing so reviewed how that the compensation proposed to be given .the officer was to be purely equitable , and the court of claims in determining the amount duo was to consider all circumstances connected with the making of the Invention , Including erpecialy all the utilities in orig inating and perfecting the Invention enjoyed by the officer ty reason of his official posi tion. The chief accomplishment of the pro posed amendment would be the fixing of a certain tribunal to which officers could go direct with their claims without waiting upon the pleasure of congress. iMr. G ln < ( dem , Tenn. ) . Mr. King ( dem. , Utah ) and Mr. Llnney ( rep. N. C. ) spoke against the amendment , and Mr. Southard ( rep. , O. ) , member of the committee on naval affairs. Mr. Norton ( dem. , O. ) and Mr. Olm- otead ( rep , Pa. ) advocated It. Mr. North way ( rep. , O ) cpoke against the amend ment , a Mr. Cannon withdrew the resolutions of fered by him end offered Instead a resolution Instructing the house conferees to Insist upon the eenate amendment being stricken out. He warned the house against persons who were ready to take .advantage of the patri otic fever incident to war to get through legislation that ought not to be enacted. He opposed the amendment in question on the ( round of no merit and further that 1 INTERESTING EXPERIENCE. Of an IOITU Lad ? Who \Vmrn Cnrrd of D > | triiklB After Suffer I nit for Tn-cn- tr-fltr 1 ear * . Mrs Sarah A. Skeels. an estimable lady residing at Lynnvllle. Jasper county. Iowa was for twenty-five years a sufferer from djspepsU. and her complete restoration to health is J remarkable that we present the facts in the case for the benefit of our read ers , many of whom have doubtless suffered In the same manner and will , therefore , be interested in learning how all etomach trou bles way be avoided and cured. Mrs. Skeels says ; I used only one package of Stuart's Djspepsla Tablets and I received such great and unexpected benefit that I wish to ex press my sincere gratitude. In fact. It bos been six months since I took the medicine and I have not had one particle of distress or difficulty since. .And all thla in the face of the fact that the best doctors I consult ? * told me my case was incurable , as J had suf fered for twentj-flve years. I want half a dozen packages to distribute among ray friends here , who are very anxious to trj this remedy. Truly yours. MRS. SARAH A. SKEELS. The reason wh > Stum's Djspepsls Tablets are so successful in curing indijestlon and Homach trouble and the reason w hy It never disappoints these who need It and use it Is because nothing is claimed for it excep what U will actually perform. It is not a cure-all and no such claims are made for It. It Is prepared for the sole purpose of curing dtpepsia and the various forms of Indiges tion. tion.There There Is scarcely a intent medicine made but what li claimed to cure djepepsla as well as a hundred other troubles. When as a matter of fact a remedy to cure d)6pep la must be prepared especially for Chat and oothlne else ; and among all the remedies patent nostrums , bitters , etc. . so extensively advertlwd you will find that Stuart's Djs rifpsla Tablets is the enl ) ono advertised a a cure for dyspepsia and nothing else. The remedy It prepared by the Stuart Co. o Marshall.

Proceeding to dlseusi the amendment Mr. Cannon declared it was In hhi opinion a "wicked and corruptlns piece of legislation " Mr. Boutelle ( rep. . Me. ) , speaking for the amendment and cknlnc the dcbitp. criti cised sharply the objection to the amend ment and characterized it as inexcusable haggling , while the navy and country waited In sore need for these war essentials for which the bill provided Intimating that members who bid been "first in forcing the country to war" were acting Improperly in now opposing the bill Mr. Bootelle brought Mr. Henry ( dem. . Mlsa ) to his 'eel. "Does the crntlemin from Maine throw thit charge against us Mmply because we oppose that amendment , which we do not think proper ? " asked Mr. Henry. "I mem to say that gentlemen are de laying the whole bill , with Its war provis ion ? , by Insisting upon opposing a small and unimportant amendment whleli the senate placed In the bill , which It bad a right to to. " At the conclusion of Mr. Boutelle's speech a vote was taken upon the Cannon resolu tion. Insisting upon striking OJt the amend ment la conference. The resolution was agreed to , 118 to 42. Upon the motion of Mr. Boutelle , the house aiked the senate for further confer ence. Confc-m-B on the p-irt of the bouse were aimed in the persons of Messrs. Bou- tel'c ' , Hlllborn and Cummlng * . Mr. Cannon , from the committee on appro prlitlons , reported back to the house the sunduy civil bill with senate amendments with a recommendation thit the house non concur. The house non-concurred and upon motion of Mr. Cannon it was agreed to aik the sen ate for a conference. The speaker named as conferees upon the part of the hou e Messrs. Cannon , W. A. Stone and Sayers The house passed the bill providing for the organization of a naval battalion to consist of not more than four companies in the DU trlct of Columbia. At 4:29 p. m. the house adjourned. POWERS JMinSK.NT .NO PROTEST. Not LlUelr to llnle * * Annexation of Territory In Attempted. WASHINGTON. April 30. It is seml-offl- cklly stated in the hlgbcst diplomatic quar ters representing France end Germany that no protest or representation of any charac ter respecting the operations of the Ameri can fleet at the Philippine islands have been made or are likely to be made. It can be ' stated also that neither the German nor the French ambassador at Washington has re ceived any instructions touching this subject and the idea is scouted that such repref enta- tioco have been thought of in official quar ters. The report that German war ( falps have left Kao Chou bay for the Philippines , in ; erder to interpese armed re lstance to a ! bombardment is denied. If a German war fchlp has started from Nagasaki for Manila , j as reported bj cable , It is said this is for the purpose of protecting German residents and not as a protest. These reports , It is pointed out , emanate from Madrid , and ere designed to provoke Irritation in this coun try against Germany and France. So far as France is concerned. It is said to have no Important Interests in tbe Philippines. Its nearetst Interests are those at Tonquin. A trading diplomatic official in discussing the report said that it the United States deilgned territorial extension in the Philip pines , then possibly the European powers might feel warranted in oeklng an explana- lon. He said , however , tbit it was obvious he United States had no such territorial pur- tosrs , and that lacking these , its effective conduct of the war was a , subject solelj for his country to determine. Germany's inter ests in the Philippines are more extensive than those of France , but the German author- ties have every confidence that these inter ests will be safeguarded and that no territo rial Questions will arise. German } has not jet issued a proclama- ion of neutrality and It Is now accepted as settled in diplomatic circles that no formal proclamation will be lesut-d. This , It is ex- > lala ° d , b not unusual so far as Germany s concerned , but is part of its general policy of refraining from decrees of neutral ly while at the same time maintaining utrict neutrality. The last Instance of this course , irlor to the present , was when Germany itithheld a neutrality decree duriac tic Turko-Grecian war. It is said the orders already issued against Uie shipment of coc- .raband goods are equivalent to a declara tion of neutrality The German government is at present pay- ng greater attention to the f'ltuitlDn in Cuba than the Philippines. The German cruiser Geler is now at Havana ready to take oS German subjects it tbe necesalt ) arlea. . France has a rarsbip at Havana , one at St. Thomas and a third -it San Juan , Porto Rico The French ships are small and it Ls expected that three or four large tbipe will be added ooon to the French fleet in West Indltn waters. Tnls may account for the actlvlt ) of the French shipyards , as re- rortfd by cable. General Bunco's report to Madrid that French and Austrian consuls at Matanzas have protested against the ohelling on the ground that no notice wee glvco , is known to be Incorrect , as neither France nor Aus tria has a consul at MUanzas. Furiuer- moro diplomatic officials say there was no bomtardment in the senfe understood in in ternational law , but simply a shelling of tbe earthwork defenses outside the city. The War department gave out a list of all governments that have declared neutrality : Italy , Netherlands , Sweden end Norway. Switzerland. Colombia , Mexico. Russia , France. Corea. Argentine Republic , Portu gal , Jipan and Uruguay. It will be noticed that the list does not include Great Britain , although it was tbe first to proclaim neu- tralltj. for the reason that no official no tice das been clven. APPLIING FOR COMMISSIONS. Manr Want to De Brlicniller General * In tbe War. WASHINGTON. April 30. A light , clear ekj brought out visitors to the White House in foil force today. Tht president had scarcely entered the dining room before the first of them. Senator Burrons of Michigan , arrived , and he bad to wait sometime for a conference. Vice President Hobart walked over from his home opposite on Lafajette Square , and was with tbe president by half past 9. Within halt an hour afterward the congressional contingent began calling to confer on army commissions and other mat ters. Senator Quay of Pennsylvania , Sen ator Baker of Kansas. Representative Gros- venor of Ohio , Representatives Curtis of Kan- ss. Bromwell of Cblo , Moon and Bronnlow of Tennessee , were some of the early callera. Senat9r Allison and Senator Gear and Representatives Dolliver and Hager of Ion a urged the president to make an additional allotment of valunte-er troops to Iowa. There were already , they insisted , a little le--e thto four regiments and the ) wanted the num ber raised to the full four regiments. The president woa unable to pledge an increase. and at his suggestion they subsequently con ferred with Secrttarj AlRtr. Reprweatative FarU of Indiana and Rcsse-ll Harrison , alto of Indiana , ex-President Harrison's con , had a conference urging the appointment of Gen eral McKee , in command of the Indiana state militia. , for a brigadier generalship. The president read with keen interest Ihe Associated Press dispatches announcing the arrival of the Paris at New York and ex- precsel considerable relief that the Atlantic liner was safe in port. Another source ol gratification to the president was the tone of the English press , as k.'hown in the Lou- ' don dltpatches. Up to 11 o'clock the presi dent had received no important official dis patches. Senator Kyle of South Dakota urged the appointment of Captain Sturgls. now at Fortress Monroe , to be ascfctant adjutant general of his dlvliton. Senator Llndciy of Kentucky Insisted that hii state should be accorded at least one more regiment in i s quota of volunteers. Representative Dolliver of Iowa filed wlta tbe president a petition for the appointment of Central R. T. Lincoln , now inspector general of Iowa National Guard , as brigadier general. Numeroui other applications were filed by congressmen. The president uni formly refused to pledge any appointment , referring members in every instance to the secretary of war. ThV practice extended 1 to sjme of his personal friends. Several 1 ptr ons. however , were given to understand 1 their appointments would be personally con . sidered aai were likely to be mad * .

WILL AOT 1UHT TOJt T1IK Sl'AMSH. CunKrrlptlon of Gillian * In Worne Thnii Vmelfnm. WASHINGTON , April 20 S'Cnor Querada of the Cuban junta said today that the orier conscripting Cubans between the ages of 15 and EO in the Spaalsh army showed the dire extremity to which the Spanish commander waa driven. iMr. Quesadi says that up to the present time the Spanish authorltiei have not utilized the services of a single Cuban company or regiment , knowing that the Cubans were at Tieart devoted to the causeof Cuba asd w ould take the first op portunity to turn their arms against Spain For this reason the volunteer forced r.i Ha vana and elsewhere , he said , are : ecruited exclusively from Sjanlards. Mr Quesad eajs the present move to raise Cuban con scripts will be futile and euch Cubans as are forced to enlist toder the Spanl-h flag will find an opportunity to use their strength in th cause of Cuba. The Cuban military au thorities attached to Mr. Quesada's staff in Washington express the same opinion. Tbe-y ridicule the conscription of Cuban * for Spsa- Uh defense , taying that the danger which hao kept General Blanco from utilizing thhe forces thus far will be dnnbly great now that the Cubans ore aware that the United States haa taken up their cause In high Cuban quarte-s the opinion pre vails that President Mecso of the Cuhin re public and hU cabinet will remove soon from Sanctl Spiritua. where they are thought to be at presert , to the neighborhood of Matan- zas , with a view to esublishing the oeat of the Cuban civil government at or near Matanws. It is said , however , that thla wir -depend much upon the Instrnrtlonr carried by Lieutenant Rowan , U. S. A. , to the Cuban commanders. The nature of these instruc tions is not disclosed. It is intimated , how ever , that one of the first results is likely to be the transfer of President Mawo and hU entire cabinet to the Cuban cosst and the setting op there of a complete civil organi zation. One of the advantages of th' . move from the Cuban slaodpolnt. is that it wll give the Cuban civil government a meat db- tinct identity and will advance the reco-nl- tlon of Its Independence. U singular complication over the Cubes flac. with Its five stripe * and single star may arlss at an early day. Numbe-a of small craft are pljing between Florida and Cuba1 owned by Cubans. If one of these raise ! the Cuban Cag and approached th Hivana' squadron the question would arise as to what coarse Admiral Ssmpxn would adopt and might lead to an indl-ect recagnltlon.

The police , who were most active , together with tbe civil guard , usual ! } managed to disperse them. "During tte morning of April 20 a mob of 3.000 or 4,000 people suddenly filled the square in front of the consulate , cheering fcr Spain and uttering o.Oer cries. I was brrakf c.tlng at tie betel on the opposite < ilde of the tqucre. This mob , having heard of the attack at Malaga , bad come deter mined to get the consulate eagle and chield. I managed to push -my way througn the people ple until I got my back to the consu'a'e and faced the mob. There I awaited the re sult. I bad hardly taken up my pcsltlra wftcr I noticed a man as Ms as mvnelf ( Biwen is about six feet high ) pushing thtrough the crowd. He came and stood be side me , did co : speak , but faced tbe crowd , which continued to threaten us.

Hundreds o ! them had just como , from the theaters , in full dress , c3 the'b st dressed men were the most active demonstrators. They came fcr the shield and hen they found it gcr-e they broke out in the most angry cries. Eventually the police attacked the mob , and many people were InJ&red. This WES the rarst threatening mob.

The chief of police was alwajs kind , frequently sending warnings to me not to go out for an hour erse so He came- every hour durlog the last two nights , and escorted me to the railroad station with a large bo3y of officers and detectives.
