PRESIDENT M-KIXLEY ATTACHES

GftGE INVITES BOND SUBSCRIPTIONS
Secretary of the Treasury Issues a Circu¬
lar Calling For Popular Bids ami Giv¬
ing Instructions Begarding Loan.
A Washington special says: The
war revenue bill is a law. President
McKinley signed the measure Mon¬
day.
Immediately upon receipt of infor¬
mation from the whitehouse that the
bill had been signed, Secretary Gage
issued a circular explaining to the
public the proposed bond issue. The
circular is in part as follows:

the subscriptions of the lowest Amounts
shall bo first allotted. In accordance
with that provision allotments to all
individual subscribers will be made
before any bonds will bo allotted to
other than, individuals. ,
In order to avoid a too rapid;absorp¬
tion of funds into ths treasury with a
possible consequent evil effect on in¬
dustry and commerce, and subscribers
for more than $500 will be permitted
to take bis allotment of bonds in in¬
stallments of 20 per cent., taking the
first installment within ten days after
the notice of the allotment, and tho
balaiiee at four equal intervals of forty
days each, in four installments each of
20 per- cent of the bonds allotted.
Delivery will be made in install¬
ments as payment for them is receiv¬
ed and payment must in ail cases be
made in full as the bonds are takeq.
The 2 per cent deposit will apply oh
the first'• allotment. Any subscriber,
may pay for the whole amount allotted
him within ten days from the date of
the notice of his allotment.
Interest will be adjusted from the
time of the actual payment, whether
paid in one sum or in installments.
The secretary of the treasury will
receive in payment for the bonds post

ington, D. C., aud checks, bank drafts
and express money orders collectible

portation as soon after that date as
possible. The bonds will be accom¬
panied by a cheek for the amount of
interest due the subscriber from the
date of his payment to August 1,1898.
All subscriptions must be received at
the treasury department, Washington,
D t C., not later than 3 p.m. Wednesday,
July 4,1898. No subscriptions received
after that date and hour will be consid¬
ered.
(Signed) L. J. Gage, Secretary.
MUST BE UNMARRIED.
No Benedict* Wanted In the Bay Begi
meat of Immune*.
There is much interest in the an¬
nouncement by Adjutant General
Corbin that married men will not be
accepted in Colonel Bay’s regiment.
This is understood by some to mean
that while there.is no such thing as an
immune, this regiment, having assum¬
ed to be so, will be treated as if com¬
posed of men actually enjoying immu¬
nity from yellow fever, and will be
put in the places most exposed to
yellow fever.,
On this account, some think, men
with families dependent on them will
not be allowed to go as immunes.
CfeRVERA’S SHIPS INSPECTED.
Uletltenant Blue Faces Great Banner to
Make a Keconnoiusance.
A Washington special says:. The
last lingering doubt that may have ex¬
isted as to the presence of Cervera’s
fleet in its entirety in Santiago harbor
was : removed whon Admiral Sampson’s
dispatch reached the navy department
Monday night. Up to that time in¬
formation as to the number and charac¬

part by the hills at the entranoe had

be obtained by naval' officers
from the outside entrance.
Now, however, occording to* Lieut..
Blue, the ships have been actually
sefen by the American officer, counted
add inspected from such points of
vantage as were afforded by the high
hills surrounding the harbor ' The
officials here are full of praise for
Lieutenant Blue’s achievement. Vic¬
tor Blue has been long known in the
navy as an enterprising and daring
y<iung deal officer, sustained but it required for a him good to
cf courage

alone make reconnoissance. He was
in the eye of military law nothing
more nor less than a spy, and had he

BRYAN ON WAR.
Nebraskan Gives His First Public Declar

The Nebraska building at the Omaha
exposition was dedioated Tuesday with
appropriate ceremony amid the plaudits
of thousands of the state’s citizens.
Governor Holcomb and his staff took
part in the exeioises, along with many
of the state’s distinguished residents.
. The speakers of the day were Hon.
Constantine J. Smith, Hon.* William
F, Gurley and Hon. William f. Bryan.
Mr. Bryan’s oration was notable for
one thing—his first publio deelaration
on the war issue. He took a high
ground on the question, urging that
the war is for humanity, and not the
extending of the United States terri¬
tory. In conolnding he said the mani¬
fest destiny of the nation is not to ao
quire realms to govern, but to .carry
oat.the fundamental principles of de¬

Everybody is desperately tired of the

Boniface de Castkllane, who married
Miss Anna Gould, of New York, fought
a duel Tuesday morning with M. Henri
Turot, of The Petite Republiqne Fran
caise. Three rounds were fought
swords and M. Turot was wounded in
each rouud, twice • slightly, and the
third time severely iu the right _

The dispute which led to the meet¬

upon an act of infanticide
by a servant in the count’s household.

Sampson’* Lina Belongs to Franc© While
the One Dewey Holds Is

A Washington special says: An un¬
expected complication has arisen as to
the right of Admiral Sampson at San¬
tiago and Admiral Dewey at Manila to
use tlie 'cables which each has secured
with a vie*''to bringing them into di¬
rect authorities telegraphic, communication with

It is understood by officials that Ad¬
miral Dewey secured the shore end of
the cable leading from Manila to Hong
Kong. some time ago and buoyed it
with a-view to sending dispatches.
The same condition is understood to
exist at Santiago, where Admiral Samp¬

The same condition as

It was stated' that negotiations were

messages as the American admirals
send.
LODGE’S RESOLUTION PASSES.
The Methodist Church Claim Matter Will
Be Investigated.
At Tuesday’s session of the. senate
the resolution of Mr. Lodge, of Mas¬
sachusetts, providing for an inquiry Meth¬
into the disposition made of the
odist Book Concern claim which was
paid recently by congress was adopted
without division.
Mr. Pasco, of Florida, in the course
of a defense of his position in the
matter declared he had not acted as
an agent in deceiving the senate as
charged by Mr. Chandler. While he
feared that the disclosures made con¬
cerning the disposal of the money
were true, they had not yet been es¬
tablished by proof aud until they bad
been it would be useless for congress
even to consider what action it should
take.
Mr. Candler again disclaimed any
intention of doing injustice or injur¬
ing the feelings of Mr. Pasco.

The engineers, stokers and ordinary

they leave Newport News as auxiliary

NO. 49.
ASK RETURN OP MONEY.
The Methodist Book Concern Boasted
By Senators.
A Washington special says: The
Methodist Publishing House matter
came up in the senate Monday and
evolved a very acrimonious debate.
Senator Chandler charged that the
senate had been deceived by the Dem¬
ocratic, senators and that the latter
should'joia iii with the Republicans to
persuade the book concern to pay the
$288,000 back into the United States
treasury, or as much of it as was left
after the foes had been settled.
Senator Pasco answered this indig¬
nantly and resented the statement that
the democrats had entered into any
scheme to deceive the senate; that
they were innocent of any deception
and had been deceived themselves.
Senator ,th*case Bacon made a plain state¬
ment of and showed his con¬
nection with it. He said that as a
member of the committee of claims of
the fifty-fourth congress he had done
all in his power to have this
claim settled. He said that ho was
not a member of the committee in the
flfty-lifth congress but that he worked
just as zealously for it, believing that
it was as just and as righteous a claim
as ever came before congress.
He had been given assurances by
Major Stulilman that there was no con¬
tract for fees, and that upon this as¬
surance he had gone to other senators
aud had assured them that they could
vote for the bill with the full con¬
sciousness that every cent would go to
the church. «.
He deeply resented done the injustice
which had beerf to him and to .
other senators, and said that he had
been most grossly deceived in the
whole matter.
Senator Tillman was especially se¬
vere iu his denunciation of tho entire
matter aud said that the passage of the
bill under the circumstances was ob¬
taining money under false pretenses.
Senator Morgan mid at, the proper
time he would offer a resolution direct¬
ing'the judiciary committee (flaim to inquire
as to the legality of the and its
final payment.
MORE FIGHTING AT GUANTANAMO

expected that the fighting would bo

At 9 o’clock Monday morning the
firing was'again renewed by the Span¬
iards, who appeared small off the camp on
the edge of a island, about a mile

To the great delight of the marines
