V‘V’ashington, May 13.—Ma11y rumors
r-eached the Navy Department yester—
day of the supposed presence of the
Spanish ships in American 1V ater
These reports came from different
sources, but were of the same tenor.
t was alleged that the enemy’s scout

Sels sighted were British ships from
Halifax. If the Spaniards are in that
quarter, their presence will undoubted—

provided for this contingency by put-
ting seV eral swift c1uisers on scout
duty in the N01 th Atlantic.
Commodore Schleys Flying Squad-
ron at Hampton Roads is prepared to
sally forth the moment the enemy is
reported and give him battle. The
war boards have been unwilling to be-
lieve that Spain wOuld send her ships
against our northern coast, and have
weakened the Flying Squadron, keep-
ing only a. few ships for an emergency.

Ships Report :1. Fleet.
New York, May 13,—Rear Admiral
Erben, who is in command of the pa—
trol fleet of the Atlantic coast, said
yesterday afte.'110011 after an interview
with Capt. Ara-and, of the British
steamship .‘.lenantic, who reported
sighting two torpedo boat destroyers
oft" Nantucket Shoals:
“I am conv'uced that the vessels
Capt. Amand 121w were Spanish torpe—
do boat destroyers, and I believe that
the Cape Verde fleet is somewhere off
our coast. I have notified all the Navy
officers stationed at different points 011
the coast to look out for them and send
in reports immediately in case any of
them is sighted.”
It is believed, on good authority, that
Lieut.—Commander Field, who has
charge of Division No. 3 of the patrol
fleet, which includes New York harbor,
has received orders to despatch sev—
eral of the fastest vessels of the fleet
in quest of the Spanish flotilla.
Many reports have come in from var-
ious parts of the North Atlantic coast
to the effect thatr trange looking war
craft had been sighted.
'When Capt. Amend of the British
steamship Menantic arrived in port
yesterday he sent a letter to Hogan &
Sons, the ship’s agents, in which he
incloscd the following report:
"A. long, low lying craft was seen ap-
proaching under the shadow of the
Mcnantic's smoke at 1 o’clock yester—
day' 11or11ing while off Nantucket
Shoals. She came along rapidly, and
was seen to be a torpedo boat. The
boat: flashed a light 011 us and crossed
under our stern, going to the east-
northeast, and fired a rocket, which
was answered to the southward by dot
and dash flashes. The night was too
dark to distinguish anything or to de-
termine the nationality of the stranger.
"When we were about twentymiles
east of Nantucket South Shoal Light-
ship, at daybreak, another torpedo
boat was seen in the line of the sun,
which dazzled the water too much for
us to make out her colors. She was
one of the destroyer class of torpedo
boats, and had one funnel. Guns were
mounted on the bow. She appeared to
be one of the recent English type of
torpedo boat destroyers, and I am sure
that there is 110 vessel of her class in
the American Navy.”
Hogan & Sons sent the report to
Rear Admiral Erben. The Admiral
immediately sent for Capt. Amand and
had an interview with him in the
Army building, as mentioned. Admiral
Erben said that he considered it trust-

Senate Committee 202142;: to Report

‘ W’ashington, May 13.—The War Rev-
lenue bill, as presented to the Senate
'Finance Committee yesterday, shows
almost 200 amcndments, and fully half
'of it is original matter.
The most striking features are the
omission of the provisions for bonds
and time certificates and for a tonnage
tax on foreign shipping, which the bill
carried when it passed the House.
These are all stricken out, not a trace
of any of them being left.
Next in order of importance are the
provisions for the issuance of green-
backs the coinage of the seigniora age
and the taxation of corpo1ations, in-
.serted at the instance of the Demo-
.crats, with the assistance of Senator
EJones' of. Nevada, and for an inherit-
rance tax placed in the bill by the joint
:eff01t of the Demomatic Senators and
ISenator Jones, of Nevada, and VVol-
cott, of Colorado.
The scigniorage provision authorizes
gthe Secretary of the Treasury to coin
:not to exceed $42,000,000 of silver im-
lmediatcly, and to issue certificates
lbased upon it.
The greenback section is an authori—
zation to the Secretary of the Treasury
ito issue during the next fiscal year, to
fdefray the expenses of the war with
Spain, not xceed' $150,000,000 in
:United States legal tender notes. They
,are to be redeemable, the same as are
:the greenbacks in circulation.
i The provision for the taxation of
.tions enumerates railroads,

‘chprcss, telegraph, telephone and in-
(surance companies of all kinds, in—

the following despatch from Admiral
Dewey, dated Hong Kong, May 12:
“There is little change in the situa-
tion since my last telegram. I am

in my possession. I am maintaining a

1 Anarchy in Philippines British \Var-
ship Reports.
Hong Kong, liay 13.—The Brit-
ish second class gun vessel Lin-
net has arrived here with news
from the Philippine Islands. She left
Manila on Monday last and reports
that the insurgents are uncontrollable.
The whole country, it appears, is in a.
state of anarchy and Rear Admiral
Dewey is powerless to restore order.
The officers of the Linnet add that
even if Spanish rule is abolished, it will
require a la1ge force, with special
training, to 1e: tore order in the intel-
ior
In the meantime, the Spaniards in
Manila lefuse to submit and Admiral
Dewey is unwilling to bombard the
town He hopes to starve the place
into submission, but the eSpaniards are
confident of being able to hold out.
They allege that they have ample sup-
plies for 25,000 regular troops and thou-
sands of volunteers and that they are
beyond the range of the United States
warships. They are defying the Amer-
icans in the hope of European inter-
venticn.
'TWO German warships, one French
warship and a warship of Japan are
110w at Manila. A Russian vessel is
expected here shortly.
A strong anti-British feeling exists
among the populace at Manila and the
people are desperate and starving.
To Increase the Philippine Force.
“’ashington, May l3.—The Navy De-
par tment vestercay received disturb-
ing 1ep01ts from Manila to the effect
that Commodore Dewey is unable to
obtain order there, and that the in-
surgents me running things with a
high hand.
Upon the receipt of this intelligence
it was determined to again increase
the number of 1en to be sent to
Philippines. The original force was to
consist of 5.000 troops. but this esti-
mate VV'as later increased to 10,000. See-
retary Alger has now decided to send
a strong detachment of 15,000 men to
Manila. It is thought that this num-
ber will be capable of restoring and
maintaining order.
The Department also decided to send
three major generals to Manila. Major
General Merritt is to be in command
of the expedition and with him will
go Major Generals Otis and Graham.
It is said that, in accepting the com-
mand of this expedition, General Mer-
ritt stated to the President that he
wanted these two generals to accom-
pany him. His req1est was promptly
acceded to and Generals Otis and Gra-
ham were ordered to proceed to San
Franciso, there to join the transports
that are to convey the troops to Ma-
nila.
Merritt to Be Military Governor.-
VVashington, May 13.—The United
States will establish a temporary gov-
ernment over the Philippine Islands.
Orders have been issued for Major
General Wesley Merritt, commanding
the Department of East, at New York,
to proceed to Manila with the least
possible delay for the purpose of as-
suming the office of military governor
of the Philippines.
Orders were also issued for the or-
ganization of an army corps of about
12,000 men for immediate duty in the
Philippine Islands. This corps will be
made up of regulars and volunteers
stationed on the Pacific coast and in
States.
mPrompt action will be had in the
atter with a view of havingthe troops
make an caryl start on the long voyage
ac1oss the Pacific.
General Merritt, who left here yes-
terday afternoon for New York to ar-
range his oflicial and private affairs
preparatorv to departure for San Fran-
cisco, said that it V' as his purpose to
sail from San Francisco as soon as
possible. The troops for the expedi-
tion probably will depart before Gen-
eral Merritt reaches the Golden Gate,
and the probability is 'that General
Otis will command them at the Philip—
pines until the arrival of General Mer-
ritt.
Complete arrangements have been
made for the equipment, transporta-
tion and subsistence of the troops and
they will depart for Manila. shortly
after their arrival at San Francisco.
No Move by the Powers.
Washington. May lit—It is stated au-
thoritatively at the State Department
that there is no truth whatever in the
London newspaper allegation that
three of the European Ambassadors
had made friendly representations to
the United States against an extension
of the war to the Philippines. No rep-
-resentations whatever in that line have
been made to the State Department.
Spanish Fleet at Martinique.
London, May 13.—Inquiries made at
the United States Embassy here, as a
result of statements made regarding
the whereabouts of the Spanish Cape
show the Embassy
officials have conflicting reports 011 the
subject, nothing really definite being
known.
The Madrid correspondent of the
Daily Mail, telegraphing late last
night, says: “Admiral Bermejo admit-
ted to-night that the Cape Verde
squadron is now at Fort de France, on
.the west coast of Martinique, French
7 west Indies.”
The Government has received infor—
mation that the voyage to Martinique
was uneventful. The route to be taken
to Porto Rico is not known here, but it
was embodied in the Admiral’s secret
instructions. He was instructed to coal .

A Queer Lottery, .733.
Men do not acquire their better
halves nowadays in civilized nations as
the result of the tossing up or a coin
or the cast of a die, nor are English-
men in the habit of taking their
spouses with a. halter round their neck
to Smithfield, and there sell them by
public auction to the highest bidder.
Russia, however, seems to form an
exception, if we are to believe an ad-
vertisement relative to a lottery for
which tickets can be bought for about
a rouble each in the town of Smolensk.
There is only one prize to be drawn,
and It consists of the entire sum yield~
ed by the sale of e tickets, amount-
ing to 5,000 roubles, together with a
lady described as of noble blood. The
tickets are sold only to males, and the-
lucky drawer of the prize will have to
marry the damsel if he takes the 5,000
roubles. If, however, he be already
married, he is at liberty to turn over
