THE WAR TAX STAMPS
Revenue Officers Could Not Sup-
ply Them East Enough. ‘
HAWAII IN THE SENATE
The Opposition Hoping for 8 Failure 0.
a 'Quorum—fl‘he Efl'orts to Secure an
Early Vote— Congressmen Favorabl:
Inclined Hove Little Fear of the Ulti-
mate Result—Mr. Pettus’ Speech.
”Washington, July 2.——The internal
revenue bureau at Washington will
have distributed throughout the coun-
try 175,000,000 war revenue stamps to~
night. The distribution has been going
on for the last week at the rate of from
20,000,000 to 35,000,000 per day. The bu-
and printing will
continue to produce about 25,000,006
stamps per day. for some time to come,
and this gfeat output will be placed
Where it can best satisfy the demand.
Requisitions were made by collectors
for about 500,000,000 stamps to cover the
first three months’ business under the
new law. This aggregate amount rep-
resented the collectors’ estimates of
what would be needed during the first
quarter.
The department has, therefore, been
able to furnish about one month’s sup-
ply. Actual experience may show that
these estimates are entirely inadequate
to meet the situation Indeed, a sus-
picion that such is the case prevails
among treasury officials. There are ab-
solutely no data upon which to base
estimates of what may be required.
When the old war revenue law was in
force it applied to only little more than
half the country. Since the repeal of
that old law the business of the coun-
try has increased from eight to ten-
fold, and commercials conditions have
changed wonderfully. Consequently the
internal revenue officials feel that they
are entering upon an untried experi-
mental field.
Hawaiian Annexation.
No positive agreement nor even a
"‘tacit understanding” has been reached
in the Senate as to annexation, but
opinion is crystalllizing that a conclu-
sion will be reached by the end of next
week. Congressmen, Who have been
vainly seeking information for several
days for the government of their per—
sonal programmes, were receiving the
quiet tip yesterday afternoon that they
will not be taking unreasonable risks
if they plan for freedom after next
week. Hints to that effect have been
in circulation for some time, but until
to-day they lacked the lndorsement of
anti—annexation authorities.
There is yet. a. bare chance of filibus—
for success. and this chance is contin-
ually kept in view. That is the-possi-
ble breaking of. a quorum, but the an-
nexationists profess to feel no alarm on
that account. The hope of thus tiring
out the majority keeps the opposition
active.
The Hawaiian annexation resolutions
were taken up in the Senate and Mr.
Pettus of Alabama made the first for-
mal speech thus far delivered in, their
favor yesterday.
He said Hawaiian annexation was not
a party question and could not be made
so by one man or a. few men. “Even
if it were a party question,” said he.
“we were all Americans, and, I 'hope,
patriots, before we joined any party."
Mr. Pettus then entered upon a. legal
and constitutional argument in sup-
port of the resolutions, taking sharp
issue with Mr. Bacon of Georgia, who
had antagonized the resolutions on con-
stl'tutlonal grounds. He maintained
that no lawyer, no court, could con-
strue correctly one provision of the
constitution without considering all
other parts of the instrument.
VVhlle Mr. Pelttus was defining some
of the powers of Congress. Mr. Mallory
“Has Congress the
power to make peace?”
“It has the power :to make peace as
well as war," responded the Alabama
senator. “Can a president make peace?
Never. Of course I admit that the
president has the power to make trea-
ties, but only under such limitations
as I have alluded to.”
Mr. Pettus took issue with Mr. Caf-
fery of Louisiana, who had argued that
the acquisition of Louisiana. territory
by act of Congress was unconstitution-
al.
Mr. Pettus ridiculed Mr. Caffery’s ar-
gument that the question ought to be
submitted to the people of Hawaii. He
said such an argument had a. moral,
but no constitutional bearing and while
it might be a. fit presentation to chil-
dren in the nursery it would have no
force with senators. It was too ado-
Iescent.
Mr. Pettus had begun a. discussion
of the present war 1when he was inter-
rupted by his colleague, Mr. Morgan,
who read an Associated Press dispatch
from Playa del Este. announcing that
the battle of Santiago had begun, and
fighting was proceeding along the en-
tire line.
“Yes, Mr. President,” said Mr. Pet-
tus, “the fight is going on along the en-
tire line and it behooves every man,
adolescent or senile, 'to support the
government, to support the army and
the navy of the United States in all his
actions. We ought to support the presi-
dent of the United States. How many
will die in the fight nobody can say.
But I pray God that those brave men
of ours, if die they must, may die with
shouts of victory in their ears.”
The House passed a few minor bills
and (agreed to adjourn until Tuesday.

Even if Camara had entered lthe ca-
nal with his first ship he could not take

than a week, because no warship can
pass in at Port Said until its predeces-
sor has emerged at Suez, nearly ninety
miles south. ‘

Situation at Santiago in Peace Would
Move to Pity.
Washington, J-uly,2.—The situation
of the Spanish in Santiago is extremely
desperate. Reports are received from
there daily and they are all of the same
character. p
Famine exists everywhere. The sol—
diers, of course, have the most of the
, food, but it is of the poorest quality
and greatly restricted as to quantity.
The civilians have to shift for them-
selves. .
Practically all the food in the city
consists of black bread, which in most
cases is unfit to eat. Many are starv-
ing because they cannot get even this
poor stuff to appease their hunger. VVa-
ter is scarce, owing ‘to the cutting of,
two of the sources of water supply by
the Americans. /
There are manv wells in the city
however, but they are not sufficient in
number to' supply he needs of the peo-
ple.
The’situa-tion there is so bad that
General Shaffer recalled the troops
which had been sent to intercept a forcl
of 5,000 Sparflards on their way from
Manzanillo to reinforc: the army 33
Santiago.
After a conference with Gens. Garcia
Wheeler and others, and listening tc
reports of the condition of affairs in
the city, General Shatter decided that
the more Spaniards reached Santiagc
the worse their condition would be and
the quicker they would surrender.
The archbishop of Santiago, the fore-
most ecclesiastiical authority on the is-
land of Cuba,. is said to be devoting
his energies in the direction of peace.
Miss Clara Barton has received a
committee of Cuban generals, compos-
ed of Generals Garcia, Demetrio Cas-
tillo and Carlos, on board the Red Cross
steamship State of Texas. The com-
mittee told her that 2,000 families were
starving near the town of Firmeza. She
landed a. supply of rations and sent
. them to the famished ones under the
protection of the Juragua Mining Com-
pany‘s railway guard.
Miss Barton also received word from
Commander McCalla than; the Cuban
General Perez had reported that 5,000
nations were urgently needed by the
destitute families near the city of Gu-
antanamo. Rations for their relief were
sent forward yesterday.
Supply Train for Cuba. _
New York, July 2.—A special train
of ten cars left Jersey City laslt even-
ing for Tampa. loaded with engineering.
supplies consigned to the army in Cu-
ba. The supplies include 2,000 wire
cutters, quantities of rope of various
sizes and horse and mule shoes.
expected that the train will reach
Tampa. in thirty hours asit will have
the rig-ht of way over all other trains.
Bids for these supplies were opened
at noon Thursday. There were forty-
four' bidders. Thirty-three of them
were successful in securing contracts
to furnish various articles. It was 11
O’clock before the quartermaster’s dc»
partment' 'had figured out who were
the lowe‘St bidders, and (the work of
loading the train was begun early yes-
terday morning. The whole transac-
tion was of quick record.
Dixon Defeated by Ben Jordan.
New York, July 2.—Ben'Jordan of
England fought George Dixon from the
start to finish in the Lenox Athletic
Club last night and richly deserved the
decision which was awarded to him.
The boys fdugh't 25 rounds at 122 lbs,
and from first to last the Englishman
was the aggressor. He went all over
and under and around Dixon, and made
him look everything; but a champion.
Early in the fight he placed crepe on
both of Dixon’s eyes and at different
stages of the fight be doubled him up
wit-h a left swing on the wind.
dan’s left did terrible work and at in-
fighting he was more than a match for
the colored champion. Not once in the
25 rounds did he land his famous stom-
ach punch and at no' time didhe land an
effective blow of any kind.
While it has been. apparent to Dix—
on’s friends and to all observers of pu-
gvilism that the colored champion fast
was going back, it was thought that he
still was strong enough and skilfull
enough to outpoint and outflght Jor-
dan.
Last night’s contest cured them of
that delusion and prepared them for
the defeat which must be Dixon’s por-
tion in the near future if he continues
to fight the best men .in his class. The
wonder is not that he soon will meet
defeat, but that 'he so long has staverl
it off. He has been in constant training
more than twelve years and in that
time has met and defeated more than
a hundred .men.
To Poison Czarina,
Bucharest, J-uly 2.-—A rumor is in cir-
culation here of the discovery of a
plot at St. ,Petersburg to poison the
czarlna,‘ who has shown signs of the
effect of slow poisoning, due to the ad-
ministration of arsenic. It is allegel
that the poison was contained in the
morning chocolate which was served-
to lher majesty by one of her ladies in
waiting.
The czarina, it is said, is very un-
popular at the St. Petersburg court
because of the austerity of her ideas
of morality and propriety, which are
essentially non-Russian, and she has
been nicknamed the German.
