The presen. week will be given almost entirely to the continuation of the debate on the war revenue blil, and many of the best informed senators express the opinion that the consideration of the bill will be concluded before the end of the week. While the consideration of the hill, except as to objected features, has been completed, there is still much to he done before the bill can be said to be completed. The items which have been expassed over are those which it waa conwould pected from the beginning sume the greatest amount of time. These include the corporation tax provision, the inheritance tax, the eilvei seigniorage and greenback amendments, and also others of more or lest importance. Involved in the discussion of the greenback and seigniorage amendments will be the Republican proposition to restore the bond provision, and there can tie no donbt that thi question will give rise to a discussion that will cover considerable time, probably two or three days at least. There is, however, no apparent desire on ths part of the opponents of bonds to con snino more time than is necessary to the proper presentation of their views.

When Admiral Cervera'a fleet is overhauled and engaged by either Sampson or Schley, it is expected to practically end the war. For this reason, no undue haste is being made. Both American fleets are after the Spaniards, and are expected to annihilate the opposing fleet when an engagement occurs. The question of locating and engaging a fleet on the open sea which is trying to evade an engagement is not an easy task. It may take some time to accomplish this result, but it will be thoroughly done. It is not the intention to merely cripple the fleet and allow part of it to run away. Orders have been issued to capture or destroy the entire fleet, and no chances are to be taken merely to bring about an early engagement in response to a - popular feeling that an early engagement is desirable. Such a battle will immediately be followed by the most vigorous notions it is possible to make in Cuba. Defenses will be bombarded and the entire available force of the army will be poured into that country in overwhelming numbers, so that the conquest will be short and vigorous. With the destruction of the ' fleet, it is supposed a Spanish revolution will occur which will end the war as far aa sending relief expeditions, either to Cuba or the Philippines is concerned. nrrlors Receive an Ore- nt Chicago. 23 The advance guard May Chicago, of Grlsby's cowboy regiment has arrived in Chtcag , from Sioux Falla. Large crowds greeted the train, anc the locomotive slowed np to allow the crowds to exchange compliments with the soldiers, who, leaning far out from the windows, cheered and waved flags and in other ways demonstrated their appreciation of the reception. There were two companies, containing altogether 188 men. The men weredressec in regular cowboy costume, broat sombreros, eta, with long pistols strapped to their sides. The train proceeded to the stock yards to unload CLIMATIC CONDITIONS IN CUBA. Yellow Fever and Malaria Confined to the Coast. New York, May 23. A meeting of Cuban physicians was held at the Red Croat hospital today to discuss the effect of climate diseases in Cuba. Dr. Munoz, recently chief of the civil hospital in Havana, waa made chairman, and Dr. Solloza, nntil recently surgeon in the Spanish army, waa present. The points determined were that men from the United States suffer more disease in Cuba than men from coat a ern countries. Of the Spanish soldiers who have gone to Cuba, 75 per cent, have suffered from malaria and 25 per cent, from yellow fever. Deaths have occurred in about 25 per cent, of the eases. The seriousness of the disease in Cuba has depended 'on the seasons and location. Malaria has prevailed during the entire year, and yellow fe ver only daring the months of August, September, October and November. Yellow fever prevails mostly on the coast and in the cities. At a distance of eight to ten miles from the coast and in the mountains the island healthy during the entire year. The physicians came to the conclusion, from their observations, that diseases do not spread as rapidly, nor are they as severe, aa on the southern coast of Florida. their freight. The troopers left a few hours later over the Pennsylvania railroad for Chlckamanga. Three other companies of the regiment, under Lieutenant-Colone- l Lloyd, are now on their way from Fort Meade, S.

Large crowds of people thronged the quay, and the crew received an ovation when they went ashore. The people embraced the captain and officers of the steamer. Popular demonstrations followed through out the city. The commander of the Montzerrat declared that he was not charged with any mission, and said he was not carrying dispatches, but the Spaniards claim that he is patriotically concealing the facts in the case. The Montzerrat is to be sent to Fer-ro- l or Cadiz in order to have her guns mounted. A big fete is being organized here in honor of the officers and crew of the Montzerrat Spanish Spy Arretted.
