WILL RAISE SPANISH SHIPS One Hundred and Sixty-five Millions Estimated as Required for the Volunteers a Year, and Seventy- slx Millions for the Navy—The Senate Considers. Washington, May 17.—Yesterday in the Senate, Mr. Allison (Rep, 1a..)‘es- timated that the War Revenue bill as reported to the Senate by the Finance Committee would, independent of the Democratic amendments, produce $150,- 000,000 in annual revenue, and that the Democratic amendments would, if in— corporated in the an, increase the amount to the extent of $75,000,000. Mr. Allison said that Secretary Alger thought the war would cost for one year $165,000,000 for the army and vol- unteers. The Secretary of the Navy, for the same period, wanted $76,000,000. This, Mr. Allison said, does not in- clude the $35,000,000 already appropriat- ed for war deficiency, the $50,000,000 for emergency defense, the $47,000,000 in the Navy Appropriation bill, or the $22,000,- 000 in the Naval Deficiency bill, pend- lng in the house, making nearly $300,- 000,000 needed for war purposes. Even this was below the actual necessities, and did not include the cost of sending 15,000 men-to the Philippines. DEWEY WILL RAISE SPANISH SHIPS. He Has Asked the Department for Wrecking Apparatus.
