Washington, June 9.—Secretary Gage
sent to the House a recommendation
for an appropriation of $250,000 for
wages and contingent expenses at
mints in coining gold and subsidiary
silver during the next fiscal year. He
also sent a statement of gold bullion
now in the treasury and the need for
its conversion for use.
The secretary called attention to the
$97,000,000 in the treasury on June 1
and the necessity for its conversion in-
to coin. He said:
“On July 1, 1897, the amount of gold
bullion held by the treasury was $25,-
575,028; on June 1, 1898, $96,998,864, an
increase'of $71,423,836. The coinage of
gold from July 1, 1897, to June 1, 1898,
aggregated $57,730,930, which about
equals the domestic production for the
period. The [increase in gold bullion
in the treasury is due to lthe large im-
portation of foreign gold deposited,
amounting from July 1, 1897, to June 1,
1898, to $72,437,500.
“The mints. at Philadelphia. New
Orleans and San Francisco are now
working eight hours a day. Of the gold
bullion in the treasury, $92,000,000 is
at the assay ofiice at New York and
the mint at Philadelphia, and to re-
duce materially the stock in a reasona-
ble time, it will be'necessary to run
overtime at Philadelphia for several
months. While the gold bullion at San
Francisco is now about $4,500,000, it
will be increased in July and August
by receipts from the Klondike of prob-
ably not less than from $12,000,000 to
$15,000,000. It probably will be neces~
sary to work the mint at San Francis-
co overtime for two or three months.
especially should further importations
of gold be made from Australia."
Later Secretary Alger sent to the
House a request for an appropriation
of $40,000 for machinery. em, for the
SpringfiellpMass. arsenal, for the man-
ufacture of Spare parts of rifles and
carbines, now in the hands of troops,
without interfering with the present
of complete rifles and
carbines. " ‘

ANNEXATION OF'HAWAII PROBABLE. '
“President May Urge Congress by Special
hie-sage. ’
Washington, June 9.——The president
does not intend to let Congress adjourn
without taking action upon the annex-
ation of Hawaii. -
It is stated that Should Speaker Reed
and his lieutenants on the floor contin-
ue their present tactics of pushing pri-
vileged‘questions to the front and pre-
venting the consedlration of the Ha-
waiian resolution, President McKinley
will send a message to Congress on the
necessity of action at once.
It is said that if President McKinley
becomes satisfied within the next few
days. that Congress is contemplating a
speedy adjournment. after the adoption
of the war revenue bill, he will, not
delay his message lenger than the first
of next week. .
Several senators said yesterday open—
ly that they did not think Congress
could be held here after the passage of
the geheral deficiency bill, the last ap-
propriation bill yet unfinished. The
friends of Speaker Reed say that his
only object in opposing the resolution
is because he does not think it policy
to pass the bill now.
The annexation senators say that
should Congress send the customary
committee lto the president to inform
him that hey had finished their work
and were ready to adjourn, the presi-
dent would announcc to this committee
that Hawaiian annexation was of such
importance at this Itlme that he would
feel justified in calling an extra ses-
sion. This intimation, it is believed,
would bring speedy action.
ATTACK MANILA BY SEA AND LAND.
Governor Gen. Reports to Madrid That
the Situation There Is Very Grave.
Madrid, June 9.-—The captain gen-
eral of the Philippines says the situa-
tion at Manila is very grave. Aguin-
aldo has succeeded in stirring up the
whole country. Manila is to be at-
tacked by land and sea. There are
many desertions from the Spaniards.
The insurrection has reached great
proportions. .
The minister of war, General Correa,
received news from the Philippine is-
lands yesterday and communicated it
to the premier, Senor Sagasta, saying
the governor general of that colony,
General Augusti, asked for full liberty
of action. He added that Aguinaldo,
the insurgent leader, continues to ex-
cite a general insurrection in the u’ch-
ipelago.
A dispatch from the commander of
the Visayas says that official sent two
gunboats to the island of Luzon with
instructions to try to communicate
with Manila, but they were compelled
to return unsuccessful.
The government, it is added, replied
instructing the commander of the V;-
sayas to restore communication with
Manila at all costs.
General Correa declined to furnish
the text of the dispatches for publica-
tion, on the ground that it would be
prejudicial to the country's interests;
but a member of the government,
whose name cannot be used, admitted
that the dispatch of Spanish troops to
the Philippine islands could not change
the situation. He addel:
“We could send 6,000 troops, but if the
natives are against us such a force
would be inadequate. If they were with
us it would not be necessarv to send
troops to the Philippine islands.”
THE CUBAN BLOCKADE
Gunboafs Making Matters Lively tor
Spaniards at Cardenas.
Key West, Fla., June 9.—An auxili-
ary gunboat which arrived here yester-
day morning from Cardenas, reports
all quiet there, except that the auxili-
ary gunboat Leyden is making things
lively for the Spaniards by blazing
away at them whenever she sees a
movement on the Spanish gunboats or
"on the defensive works.
The British coliier Roath, a sister
ship of the Restormel, was held up on
June 4 by an American gunboat. Not
responding promptly to a blank shot,
a solid shot was sent across her'bows.
Next day she was 'held up by a sec-
,ond gunboat and obeyed immediately.
She was in ballast, bound for Mobile
from .San‘ Juan de Porto Rico, where
she had discharged her cargo of coal.
Caimanera Shelled for Two Hours.
Cape Haytien, June 9.—Five Ameri—
can warships began the bombardment
of Caimanera at 5.30 Tuesday morning.
The firing was heavy and continued
until 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
The shells fell in the town of Caima-
nera, doing great damage and forcing
the Spanish artillery :to retreat.
There will undoubtedly be a fierce
struggle there, as the Spanish troops
expect an effort will be made to land
troops and they are prepared to stand
their ground to the last, when the Am-
ericans debark.
Caimanera is thirtv miles east of
Santiago. It is the point where the
shore cable from Santiago leaves the
south coast of Cuba.
Admiral Sampson has been instructed
emphatically to destroy this cable con-
nection and it was undoubtedly to com-
pletely shut off Santiago from cable
connection that five ships from his
squadron were sent to bombard Caima-
nera. '
“fill: Chicksmauga Army.
Chattanooga National Military Park,
Tenn., June 9.—The usual drills and
manoeuvres are employing the various
regiments or General Brooke’s volun-
teer armv. The temperature is high,
but it was again relieved somewhat by
asteady breeze. What the whole‘ army
is now praying for is a hard downpour
of rain.
The dust is increasing daily and un-
less rain soon abates it, it will become
an almost unbearable nuisance. Thou-
sands of horses and wagons constantly
moving along the park roads and the
long dry spell have combined to make
this nuisance the worst, and in fact the
only considerable one with which the
army has to contend.
A movement is now on foot to have
President McKinley and such of his
cabinet officers as can accompany him
inspect the park army on the Fourth
of Julv. A formal inv1tation will be
extended and. the president will
urged to accept.
Rifle Inventor Dead.

HOUSE CONFEREES FIRM.
Unylelding Opposition to Coiuage of
Ssizniorage.
' WaShington, June- 9.~—-The Senate’s
confrerees‘on the war revenue bill are
showing a surprising stubbornness in
connection with the coinage of the seig-
niorage. Instead of yielding graceful-
ly, as it was supposed they would do,
to the demands of the House confro-
rees, the Senate confrerees are holding
out for this iniquitous scheme that has,
been thrown as— a sort of pap to the
western free silver Senators.
The friends of sound monev, how-
ever, have- valiant champions in the
House confrerees, who are standing
firmly and unyieldingly in opposition
to the coinage of the seigniorage and
it is thought the Senate confrerees will
be forced to yield. '
It is probable that the bill will be out
of conference by Friday morning. The
Chilton amendment extending the pro-
visions in regard to proprietary medi-
cines and other articles will most like-
ly be knocked out in conference.
Among the changes that have been
practically agreed upOn by the con-
frerees is one in the beer tax provision,
making it definite that the stuff on
hand exempted should be the stock in
the hands of dealers and not of brew-
ers.
The confrerees Were engaged yester-
day in discussing the amendment re-
ferring to a license tax of $12 a year on
insurance agents. Doubtless the con.-
frerees will decide to remit the tax.
Senator Hanna, when asked whether
the Republican sound money victory
in Oregon ought not to have the effect
of strengthening those confrerees who
are opposed to the coinage of the seign-
iorage, replied:
“I certainly think that it ought.”

Capt. Philip’s Beporled Death :2. Fake.
Washington, June 9.—Ths report
which gained currency yesterday that
Captain Philip of the Texas had been
killed, app-ears to have arisen from
the fact that one of the ofiicers ‘of the
war department to whom duplicate
copies of all important telegrams about
the conduct of the war are turned over
fresh from the wire, had received the
Spanish story of Philip’s death, and
had turned it over to a senator who
was calling on him at the time. The
senator, visiting the White House, in-
formed some of the functionaries there
of what he had read, and from that.
point it spread all over as a White
House confirmation.
At the navy department considerable
indignation is felt at the report of Cap-
tain Philip's death, the department
saying that no basis wiiate‘rer for it
exists and that it is calculated need-
lessly to alarm his family and friends.

Willet’s Point, L. 1., June 9.—Batter-
ies K and L of the Seventh Artillery,
camped here under command of Cap-
tains Hamilton and White, have been
notified to have themselves in readiness
to leave for the Philippines on June 20.
They are mostly recruits and are kept
drilling upon the big disappearing ri-
fles mounted upon the parapets here.

Twenty-six new recruits for the bat-

the packet steamer Mary Morgan which
has taken the place of the government
steamer General hieizs. The recruits
arrive here very slowly in twos and

cruited from the ranks of mechanics

LIVELY TIMES AT PLUM ISLAND.
The First Connecticut Volunteers Now
Quartered at the Eastern Sound.
Greenport, L. 1., June 9.—-Plum is-
land is now presenting a lively appear-
ance, particularly since the arrival of
the First Connecticut volunteers, which
are now stationed at the island. Colo-
nel Hammond was seen here yesterday
by a reporter, having arrived on the
island from the steamer Manhattan,
which stops daily at the latter place.
Colonel Hammond said that not a sin—
gle case of sickness was as yet report-
ed among the troops, and that general
good health and spirits prevailed. He
said the elevated surroundings of the
rock bound island made the greatest
difference imaginable to men associat-
ed with camp life. The troops are
quartered in tents, as at Camp Black.
Colonel Hammond said the First would
remain at Plum island until further
orders were received by him.
He would say nothing regarding the
progress of the work at the fortifica-
tions, claiming such information could
not be publicly imparted, but assured
the reporter that no time was being
lost in hurrying along the work .of pre-
paring for war.

Upon What It Depends and
How it May Be Waged.
. The person does not live whose pulse
is not stirred by news of war. The man
does not exist who does not feel the
impulse to heroic deeds for which war
affords such a. field. But heroic deeds
and successful war depend, as do the
Victories of commerce and the counting
house, upon that perfect health that -
allows the brain to move on free from
the countless annoyances and irrita-
tions that sap nervous vitality and de-
stroy physical. force.
Irritation of the mucous membrane,

which are so apt to accompany or fol-

In Roman times a man's signet was
the most important of his possessions.
It served the purpose of a signature, for
all business transactions were ratified
by it, and as in those days locks and

were still kept strictly under the seal
