k The fliiaiiclnl cominittte's report followed ,
It recommcllled granting the request of

. . . board frmn $2j00 to 2OOO , and recoin-
mended also the discontinuance of the salary
of the corresponding eecretar1ei of the
Boards of Publication and 1r1ticntIon. It
was the belief of the financial commIttee
r - that the needs of the church and the times
. ' necesHitated a cuttibg down of some salaries
nnl lopping off of others.
Soiiie opposition wni ; encountered by the
recommendation to cut off the salary of Ir.
1. C , lloyil , correaponiling secretary of the
floarI of I'ublicatiun , but Chairman Rut-
ledge explained that it cost the assembly

$1,600 a year anti a bookkeeper and staff all
tinder pay ; besides , the committee had
thought that where the correaponding see-
retary wa Paid a 8alnry aK lnstor
of a church , he should be willing to contribute -
tribute his board services gratis iii times of
financial stress. On the other hand , Itey.
Rev. J. C. Scouller of Philadelphia pointed
out the fact that the Board of l'ublication
had sustained itself independeiit of the
clnirch , and , In addition , had contributed
$2,000 last year toward the mission funds.

. Ics of all tIme oinccrs of the assembly , professors -
fessors , missionaries and others. ' Statistical

ting tile neccsary data and wanted instruc-
. - - tions. A large portion of the morning sea-
_ sloe wami consumed in the discussion of this

IOInt amid other financial subjects. IJele-
gates thought tIme contributors to the church
cimtitltd to information as to expenditure
of 'money , amid that the task was
not beyond performance. Eventually
it was discovered that the
language of tIme mnemorial was simply that.
"plana be dcvised' for publishIng the sala-
rica , so time matter was disposed of by leav-
log it to the cicrks of the assembly to
-
formnuiati , sonic plan , send out blanks to the
various boards for data and make the plan
operative for mmcxt year.
One of the questions raised during the (11S
cusslon had been.Vhat are general
'fumtds ? " another , "What professors and mis-
sionarles are Intended in addition to the
general officers of the church ? " These were
answered by arriving at. an understanding
that all moneys contributed to the church
-
were to be regarded ha general funds , and ,
as to tIme tlmeologieai irofessors and missionaries -
aries , the amounts Paid to them could be
ascertnlncd through the various boards and
synodim having direct control of them.
An effort made to cut dowii Dr. Owens'

NEW YORK , Jimac 1.-A special to the
Times from VashIngton , says : Washington -
ton is working itself up to the hope of
omcial news from Scbie' to match the news
from Dnwe ) ' , With ynrious corroborative
dispatches about the opdrations at Santiago -
ago it is made plain timat whatever the
plans may bo for eventual co-operation at
Santiago do Cuba of the navy and the nrmny ,
there is no restraint upon Commodore
Sclmley to prevent him from reducing the
forts at time entrance to time harbor , des-
troylmig Cervera's fleet anI making the city
uninhabitable to the Spanish if lie cimooses
to tie so.
The news from Commodore Schbcy con-
tamed iii tIme press dispatcimes caused no
surprise to those who have kimown him and
his rccod. Ito is not na olllcer to remain
quiet whIle there is a cimanco for enterprise
so close at imanti. Ills advemmtures in Corea

lie had heard the b1minions of these
people respecting this coimmitry , anti it was
lila belief timat. time Utmit.etl States ought to
lmavo an opportummity to how these con-
tcniptuomms scoffers that fimey dId not tinder-
stand time PCOIbo they Imnil sneered at so
long. It has been kmmown that Sclmiey was
eager to macct the foe , and that he and his
men had fretted at F r Monroe while
Dewey was nmnking imims if famous. Schbcy's
friends imisist that lmo vllt never stop work
at Santiago until he has demimonstratod the
ability of Ammmeriean Blips and Ammmericnmi
sailors to overcome Spanish shIps nnd sail-
org under difficult circj.mmnst.ances ,
Simmce Commodore Sehie"s fleet has been
reported at Santiago a great deal of cci-
cubation aimd speculation has been indulged
in as to tIme possibility of acting effectively
against time fleet of Admiral Cervera without -
out entering time harbor ; Some of the naval
mcmi here have takenimslt things iimto account -
count mmd have concimided that with time
timirteen.incim , twelve-irecim and eight-ineim

time Texas , lie can readh the city bC Snim-
tiago Itself if ho can get the range. If ho

are obtainable Is that he has directed just
enough fire ntthe forts to occupy theam , and
has employed hi most effectiVe long range
guims in peppering the Spanish vessels in
the harbor. Admiral Cervera , It Is ho-
lieved , has foummtl himselfat , a terrible ills-
advantage in being pennqd up In the har-
hoc. The bay of Santigo is scarcely a
mile wide at Its widest part , It is navlga-
ble for vessels ot
such great draught as
time four armored cruisers of Corvera's fleet
for but a part of its wilth It Is considered
to be out of the questIon for Cervera to
protect himself to any great extent by
maneuvering. Having once got th range
of Cervera's vessels , either at anchor or
moving up and down the bay , Commodore
Seimiey may sink or dtsabo them nil. At
the saqmo time , lie may keep his vessels con-
stnntiy in immotion , playink on the fortiflca-
tions and time Spanish lbe t , while time torts
and imprisoned fleet xtre ildiy endeavoring
to hit a lot of mnoving veseis.
Army men are hearing the news wIth sonIc
concern. They have accepted as true some
reports that there is to be a land force dispatched -
patched to Sammtiago , antI they imnglncil that
all preparations were to be deferred until
time army was in readlmmmss to nartleinat , .
in the attack upon Santiago and to win a
share of the credit for Its capture. While
Commodore Schiey does not appear to have
been made acquainted with this view , time
army omcers who imavo heard of the attack
upon Santiago by Schioy say it will be lam-
possible for him to make as coamplete a Job
of the reduction of Santiago as it is for
Admiral Dewey to take possession of Manila
without the mild of a barge number of troops.
Secretary Long does not Inolc for any report -
port ( rein Commodore Scimley until ime has
completed the job that ho is relmorted to
have begun , Ho has complete liberty to
use his own discretion about attacking , and
under his Instructions Im expected to destroy -
stroy or capture time fleet of Admiral Ccc-
vera If imo can (10 it. "Use utmost endeavors -

Dewey , were repeated to Schloy when he
was found to have cornered the Spammisim

As confirming his belief that Spain Is not
ripe for a republic , Mr. Taylor refers to the
attitude of Emnillo Castobar :
It anybody clearly comprehends and loves
Spain , ho does. In his mighty brain is
stored away her whole history , as a part of
the history of Europe. In his heart is an
unsebflsh and great bove of country , as lofty
nntl unselfish as ever ennobled a patriot.
Convinced years ago that Simm was not prepared -
pared for a republic , he resolved to retire
from the political arena , nhd to traimemit imis
aspirations to another channel ,
Mr. Taylor expresses time hope timat the
United States in their dealings with Spain
at time end of time present war will follow
a course consistent with their own normal

her that justice and generosity should char.
