AFTER THE BONDS.
A Crowd at the Sub-treasury To-
day. ‘
to invest their savings in the new issue
of government bonds~clerks, store-
keepers, small speculators, laborers
and women even—crowded the Office
of Deputy Assistant United States
Treasurer Mu'hlman in the sub—treas~
ury'yesterday seeking information as
to how they could loan money to this
government. blanks for applications
were handed to hundreds of persons,
and the clerks in the Office were‘ kept
continually busy giving out informa—
tion to an anxious public.
Thoug-h'the application for blanks
was so large that they had to be given
out sparingly, few persons made an
actual purchase, evidently Wishing to
go home and think the matter over
first. Up to noon less than twenty
bonds of denominations of $500. or less
were bought and paid for.
To guard against speculators and to
give the public every possible chance
to invest, no person is allowed to invest
more than $500, applicants at the sub-
treasury for bonds of larger denomina-
tions being advised that their applica—
tions must be sent to the treasurer of
the United States at ‘W-ashington.
Circulars were distributed to the
postoffice and its branches and to ex-
press oflices, where persons anxious to
subscribe may do so any day or even-
ing up to eight o’clock, until the sub-
scription closes at 3 o’clock in the af—
ternoon on July 14 next.
How They Are to Be Issued.
The bonds will be issued in both cou-
pon and registered form, the coupon
and $1,000, and the registered bonds in
denominations of $20, 100, 500, $1,000, $5,-
000 and $10,000. They will be dated Au-
gust 1, 1898, and by their terms will be
redeemable in coin at the pleasure of
the United States after ten years from
the date of 'their‘issue, and due and
payable August 1. 1918. The bonds will
bear interest at the rate of 3 per cent.
per annum, payable quarterly.
The law, authorizing this issue of
bonds provides that in alloting them t.”
several subscriptions of individuals
shall be first accepted, and the sub-
scriptions of the lowest amounts w.il
be first allotted. All individual sub-
scriptions for 500 or less will be allotted
in full as they are received, and such
subscriptiOns must be paid in full at
the time the subscription is made. If
the total sum subscribed for in amounts
of $500 or less should exceed $200,000,000
the allotments will be made according
to the priority of the receipt of the
subscriptions.
Allotments on subscriptions for more
than $500 will not be made until after
the subscription cl-oses,' July 14, and
will 'then be made inversely according
to the size of the subscriptions, the
smallest subscriptions being first allot-
ed and so on. Persons subscribing for
more than $500 must send cash or cer-
tified checks to the amount of two per
cent. of the sum subscribed for, such
deposit to constitute a partial payment,
to be forfeited to the United States in
the event of failure to make full pay—
ment for his subscription. The allot-
ment to subscribers for more than
$500 will be made as soon as possible
_ after the subscription closes.
MAY ATTACK SPAIN’S COAST.
A New Squadron to Be Formed Under
Commodore ' Schley.
Newport News, Va, June 15.—'The
most significant news here is the state-
ment by a naval officer that one of the
most daring movements in the history
of naval warfare, with Commodore
Schley to put it into effect, is a strong
probability of the near future. ._
His venture is the sending of a new
flying squadron to Spanish waters to
locate Spain’s reserve fleet.
Should the fleet remain in Cadiz har-
bor the plan of the navy department it
is said contemplates the dispatch of a
second or reinforcing squadron to Span-
ish waters and the capture, or annihila-
tion of the Cadiz fleet. ’ '
The second fleet would probably con-
sist of two battleships, several cruis-
ers and a number of colliers.
There is no doubt that a new squad--
ron will be formed in Hampton Roads
and all indications point to the fact
that it will be sent across the Atlantic
if the Spanish reserve fleet does not
make a quick move for Cuba or Porto
Rico.
This step may not be inaugurated,
however, until Admiral Cervez‘a’s fleet
is either captured or destroyed.
It is said that the new squadron will
be composed of the cruisers Brooklyn
(Commodore Schley’s flagship), New
York, Minneapolis. Columbia, St. Paul,
Louis and Harvard. Three
of these ships are now here or in Hamp-
ton Roads. All -h "re a speed of more
than twenty-one knots, and they would
form as fleet and strong a flying squad-
ron as could be organized from the
American’ navy. Their coal carrying
capacity ranges from ~-2,000 to 4,000
tons. The Cincinnati and Newark. now
at Norfolk, would hardly join the new
squadron because of their small coal
capacity.
The Harvard’s gun mounts have been
placed in position and eight 5-inch
guns were hoisted aboard yesterday.
Hobart Won Abroad. V
Liverpool, June 15.——The lawn tennis
championship contest opened yesterday,
at the Liverpool cricket grounds, Alg-
burth. T’he‘cntries were good, all the
best English players being engaged ex-
cept the brothers Badelev, whose ab-
sence was due to the illness of Mr.
\Vilfr‘ed Baddeley.
In the preliminary round for the
gentlemen’s singles, Mr. Clarence Ho~
bart of the United States beat Mr.
Wolff: of Liverpool. The other con-
tests were uninteresting.

Some Points About The New
Revenue Measure.
BUSY TIMES For. OFFICERS
Bee], Cigars, Tobacco and Telephones
Are Among the Articles Selected to
Contribute the Government —— The
Stamp Taxes Will Go Int-o Efl‘ect on
July 1— How the Revenue Will Be
Collected.
New York, June 15.—Many inquirers
beset the internal revenue ofiices at No.
114 Nassau street yesterday seeking in-
formation regarding the workings of
the internal revenue Office in collecting
the additional revenue tax made nec-
essary by the war. As is well known,
many Of the increased rates 6. ta-xa—
tion became operative yesterday] The
tax on beer and ale, fixed at $2 a bar-
rel: tobacco, fixed at 12 cents a pound;
cigars, fixed at $3.50 a thousand; ciga-
rettes, at $1.50 a thousand, went into
effect yesterday. Only the stocks al-
ready in the hand-s of retailers, or sa-
loon keepers, escapes the tax, and the
brewery that began operations yester-
day without a barrel of beer, having
loaded the cellars and store rooms of
its customers to their utmost capacity
to effect this, will escape taxation on
its manufactured product, and will on-
ly have to pay upon that yet to be pro-
duccd.
., $.11;
Stamp Taxes.» T i '
The stamp taxes will go into effect
on July 1, and it will be necessary to
stamp each bank check, manifests of
express packages, telegraph messages,
indemnifying bond, life insurance.
policy benefit insurance, fire insurance,
lease, mortgage, passage to foreign
countries, patent. medicine, perfumery
and mine. The internal revenue office
has large quantities of beer and to-
bacco stamps on hand, and they will
be used before any call is made for
neW'stamps. Over each of the new
printed stamps will be stamped in red
ink a distinguishing mark to show it
has been bought under the increased
price. After all that are now on hand
havebeen used up a new series will
be furnished by the treasury depart—
ment, probably distinguished as “the
series of 1898.”
Cigar and tobacco dealers who called
at the revenue oflices yesterday were
informed that their stock on hand
would be taxed at half the rate fixed by
law for cigars and tobacco. This, of
course, is in accordance with the law.
Collecting Taxes.
The chief deputy, David S. Wendell,
answered questions yesterday in the
absence of the collector, John‘ A. Ma-
son. He said that he had no knowlv
edge 'of what increased force would be
necessary to collect the taxes. No
preparations 'had been made as yet,
he said, and nothing would be done un~
til 3. schedule of regulations was re—
ceived. from - Washington. Copies of
this will be placed in the hands of di-
vision's'uperintenrdents, and they will
notify the different persons and firms
affected by the tax. It is presumed
that'dealers in articles upon which the
tax goes int-O effect immediately will
read of its provisions in the papers
and that they will prepare an inven-
tory of their stocks. As soon as the
collector’s force has been increased suf-
ficiently to allow of his notifying the
dealers, it will be done. This will, be
the oflicial notification, but the tax
will be reckoned from yesterday wheth-
er -the taxpayer was officially notified
yesterdary or not. Upon receiving the
dealer's inventory the deputy collector
will investigate its correctness and af-
fix the amount of tax.
' Telephone Taxes. r
Just how the telephone tax is to be
collected puzzles the oifice, which has
not gone very deeply into the subject
anyway, as such details of administra—
tion will be settled by the schedule of
regulations expected from W'ashington.
It is presumed that the sworn state-
ment of the telephone companies will
be accepted, and that messages cost—
ing fifteen cents now, will, after July
1, cost sixteen cents, the company sim-
ply adding the one cent tax. to be paid
by thecustomer. Thus, it is thought,
the companies will 'have no object in
submitting other than a correct state-
ment of its messages.
