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

facts in the case for the benefit of our read

In the same manner and will , therefore , be
interested in learning how all etomach trou

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 ? *

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.

There Is scarcely a intent medicine made
but what li claimed

well as a hundred other troubles. When as
a matter of fact a remedy to cure d)6pep la

CORRUPTING LEGISLATION.
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

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 * .

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 United States consul general at Bar

Etrurla , sailing from tUis port to New York
today. In conversation with a represen'a-
tlve of the Associated Frees , Mr. Bowen
said :
"I received a telegraphic meecage , noti
fying me to leave Barcelona , from General
Woodford , our minister at Madrid , at 4:30
p. m. on April 12. The telegram was sent
from Madrid at 6 30 a. m. I immediately
notitfied the British consul , who came to the
consulate ct C o'clock , took the kejs 2nd
assumed ctarse of our Intcrts's. When it
was dine we took down the ehleld. The
Euisld wts stowed in a safe place end I

"Between April 13 and tbe nUbt of April
21 eight mots of over 1,000 persons each
made demonstrations before the consulate.
Of course tuerc * ere threatening crowds all

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. Fortunately
the mob bid no leader ; eo , for a quarter cf
an bour , we > two and the mob fared-seach
other. Then the i llce > end soldiers ar
rived , and the mob ratHc-d away. I eked
.be 5trarit ; who be 'wzs , and he replied :
WANTED IN ON THE PLAY.
" 'I am Normau 'Harrington of Chicago.
This is my first day'la'Barcelona It se-emea
to me as If theret would be some trouble
f r the eagle up the-e and I thought I'd take
a bit of It. '
"The biggest and angriest moo gathered
during the night ol April 21. There were
fully C.OOO or 7,00fl people about the cav
sulate , including every class , aomng them
being Barcelona society men. 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. ' I iad been warned
the police could not. ije trustel. but they
did not fail to do their dutr. 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. Tte crowd was overawed so
' there was no demonstration more than cheer
ing for Spain.
