Bond
Senalor Turpie
Contends a
Issue is Unnecessary.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Washington, May 18. The feature
of to-day 'ssession of the Senate was
the speech of Senator Turpie. Demo
cra-t. Indiana, upon the war revenue
measure. He strongly contended that
a bond issue was unnecessary ; that all
the funds required for the prosecution
of the war could be raised through the
proposed inheritance tax, by the tax
on corporations, by the coinage of the
silver seigniorage and by the issue of
"-al tender notes. These four means
of obtaining? money would yield to
the government during the next year,
he maintained, fully $300,000,000, an
amount in excess of the estimated sum
necessary for the conduct of the war
fhe speech was characteristically beau
tiful in diction, and close and forceful
imreasoning. Senators on, both sides
of the chamber gave it undivided at
tention.
Considerable progress was made in
the reading of the bill, which included,
naturally, the consideration of the
amendments proposed by the commit
tee. Through the influence of Senator
Gorman or Maryland Democrat, the
mi prison uient penalty was stricken
out of same of the sections relating to
violation7'" the stamp tax.

Sympathy
of the British Wesleyan

By Telegraph to the Morning Star'
Baltimore, Md., May lis. A wave
ofatriotism swept over the Genera
Conference of the M. "E. Church South
at to day's session. Rev. W. T. Davi
son, fraternal delegate from the urit
ish Wesleyan Church, in the course of
his address said :
"When I landed on- your shores
few weeks "aero war had been declared
between' your country and Spain,
want to express on behalf of the chure
I represent and the country from which
lcome. the strong sympathy we nave
fctr you in the present crisis in
your national history. It is not nee
Iessary for me to say that England is
entirely on your side in this war. Our
nation can appreciate more perhaps
than some other nations the righteous
ness of ! your cause. The barbarities
in Cuba too long outraged human
reeling in this country, and you were
at last driven to trust the issues of the
matter to the arbitrament of war. We
appreciate the lofty nature of your
motives. We are assured that only
lihe claims of the highest humanity
force you reluctlantly into this
struggle. t
We congratulate vou on the splen
did victorv at Manila, (erreat ap
plause) and I may say, also, that we
have no fears as to the final outcome
of the war.
"Although war is an evil thing in
I itself, it is probable that good will
come out of this struggle. I think it
I may be an epoch-making war with
lion, and there may be several things
for your country to learn from it. It
may be that out of it will come a
larger sense of your responsibility
abroad among other nationB. But,
I whatever else comes from it, I sin
cerely trust that it will result in bind
ing together in still closer fellowship
lour two nations." i
At the close of his remarks, dele
gates and spectators arose as one man

plauded the happy hits made by the

THE BATTLESHIP
OREGON ARRIVES.
Successfully Completed Her Long
Journey of More Than
13,000 Miles.
MAY JOIN SAMPSON'S FLEET.
Cruiser Charleston Started on Her Lone
Voyage With Supplies for Admiral
Dewey Accident to Revenue
Cutter Gresham.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Washington, May 18. Secretary
Long gave out the welcome informa
tion to-day that the battleship Oregon,
the second largest craft in the Ameri
can navy, had successfully completed
her long trip from San Francisco,
making the entire circuit of South
America, and was now safe. Whether
or not she has joined Admiral Samp
son's squadron the Secretary would
not say. The rigid secrecy of the
Navy Department was relaxed only
enough to make known the best news
the Navy Department has received
since the battle of Manila, as
it meant not only that the
Oregon was out of harm's way
from a concerted attack on
this . one ship by the whole
Spanish squadron now in southern
wafers, but also that her great light
ing strength would, be added to Ad
miral Sampson's force in the near
future, if indeed it had not already
augmented the Admiral's strength.
The Oregon left San Francisco about
six weeks ago, before the war had
opened, and at that time it was not
admitted that she was to join the ships
in Atlantic waters. She stopped at
Callao for dispatches and then went
round the Horn and then up the east
coast of South America. In all the
trip covered more than 13,000 miles.
War Boards Plans.
Aside from this bit of information.
Secretary Long said at the close of
office hours that there was no further
news to be given out. Late in the
day Secretary Long joined the war
board, which Had been in session for
some hours, to participate in the dis
cussion of -their plans, which are be
lieved to have been materially modi
fied by the news received from the
Oregon.
ihe cruiser unarieston wnich start
ed to-day her long journey to meet Ad
miral Dewey at Manila should arrive
there in about twenty-four days, al
lowing a couple of days at Honolulu
for coal.
Admiral Dewey's cablegrams show
that he is able to maintain the ground
He has gained until reinforcements
arrive in the usual course, so that the
Charleston will get there in time to
serve his purpose. The stock of ammu
nition which the Charleston carries is
believed to pe the great essential just
now, the fierce engagement at Cavite
having consumed a large part of the
American admiral's shot and shell.
Singular Accident.
Some little disappointment is felt at
the Navy Department at the singular
accident that happened to the revenue
cutter Gresham yesterday, when one
section of the ship was thrown into the
St. Lawrence. The immediate effect
will be the loss to the navy of a very
efficient little gunboat.
The Volunteers.
There was a good deal of talk at the
War Department to-day of the' possi
bility of an issue by the President of
another call for volunteers, but care
ful inquiry tends to warrant the state
ment that this is at least premature,
and that no further call is likely to is
sue until the aggregate number of
soldiers already called for have re
sponded and have been equipped for
service. This last matter, the equip
ment of the new troops, is the mam-
sou roe of delay, and promises - to be
come even worse in the future.
Exchange of Prisoners.
The news bulletin issued by tho
Navy Department to-day contained
the following items :
An order has been issued by the de
partment forbidding the presence of
Svlvester Scovell. a newspaper cor
respondent,: aboard vessels of the navy
or at any naval station, on account
his conduct in stowing . himself

visit of that vessel tp Havana, he bav

Negotiations are in progress for the
exchange of Thrall and Jones, news

and military surgeon Julian, now

Cutting Cables. -
The department also made public an
abstract of the mail report of Captain
McCal a. commander of the marble
head, describing the cutting of the
cables in Cienfuegos bay last Wednes
day. The main facts had been sent
out in the report already made by tele
graph, but a few new interesting de-
tans are included in tne anstract,
which is as follows:
At the recent action off Cienfuegos
Lieutenant Southerland commanded
the Eagle. Lieutenant Winslow the
steam launch, and sailing launches
from the Nashville and Marblehead,
with Lieutenant ft. -A. Anderson sec
ond in command. There were four
boats used and their orders were to
drag for and cut the cables off Cien
f uegos under the protection of the
guns of the Nashville and Marblehead
An infantry nd cavalry force posted
about the cable house was-nrst unven
from their nosition bv the coins of the
Nashville and Marblehead. The foUr
launches then dragged for and succeed
ed in catching the cables. The cable
house was destroyed by the guns. A
small inshore cable was found, but an
infantry force with a maxim gun with
a distance of only 150 yards, kept up
such a hot fire as to prevent this
cable being grappled, particularly as
the enemy had retreated into
the gullies and ravines, - where
the could no longer be reached
by the fire from the ships. The enemy
having finally concealed themselves in
the light house and opened fire on the
boats from that point, the ships open
ed fire upon the light house an d de
stroyed it. j
Lieutenant Winslow was wounded
in
the hand: Fatnck Regan, pn
vate marine, was killed: Ernest
Suntzenich, apprentice, has since
died."'' Six other men were wounded.
I cannot speak in too high
praise of officers and men engaged in
the four boats in cutting the cables.
Their work was performed with the
utmost coolness and intrepidity under
the most trying- circumstances, and I
shall later have the honor to call spe
cial attention to their conduct.
(Signed B. H. McCalla,
Commander.

ably impressed with what he saw. It

He says it is due to systematic Amer

"The whole course of the Washing

Regarding the speech made on

the British secretary of state for the
colonies, at Birmingham, Prince Bis
marck said : "The importance thereof
depends .upon whether Mr. Chamber

less feasible, but an alliance is
improbable and unservicable to both.
Besides, it is a mistake to call the
Americans Saxons. Theirs is a mixed

W hooping Cough.
I had a little boy who was nearly
dead from an attack of whooping
cough. My neighbors recommended
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I did
not think that any medicine would
help him, but after giving him a few
doses of that remedy I noticed an im
provement, and one bottle cured him
entirely. It is the best cough medicine
I ever had in the house. J. L. MOORE,
