WASHINGTON CITY. April 12-The propo-
sition to return to Mexico twenty-one
battle flags captured by our troops in the
war of 1916 and 1s47, which are now pre-
served at West Point. is not a popular
measure with army officers. Its passage
by the House will be vigorously opposed
by many old veterans of the regular army
residing in this city; nor do the Mexicans
take kindly to the idea, judging from the
tone of large numper of newspaper clip
pings received here by army officers from
correspondents now on a visit to the City
of Mexico. The general sentiment ex-
pressed in these is that the United States
is adding insult to injury by the sugges-
ton of return of flags which, the Mexi-
cans say, were robbed from them, together
with their territory. Speaking of the mat
ter, the brigadier general ON duty at the
war department said:
He could not understand what military men
in the Senate are thinking about when they al
lowed such measure to pass without even a
word of opposition. He could not understand
how any soldier can wish to have restored to
him flags taken from him on the battlefield.
They can be of no value unless recovered in the
way they were lost, and in his opinion and that
OF many other officers, it is simply calling the
attention of Mexico to its hours of humiliation
even to suggest the return of war trophies at
this or any other time. Speaking further, this
officer said:
We might just as well talk of restoring to Mex
leo the territory we took from her by the treaty
OF Guadalupe Hidalgo, and after the warriors
in the Senate had voted for the battle flag prop
osition he would not be surprised at even such
q movement.

WASHINGTON CITY, April Fin the
House the Senate amendments to the In
dian appropriation bill were non-concurred
in, and Peel, Allen and Wilson of Wash
ington we're appointed conferees.
Allen of Missouri asked unanimous con-
sent for the present consideration of a
joint resolution appropriating $4,000 for
the purpose of gathering and distributing
subsistence stores to sufferers from the
overflow of the Tombigbee river and trib-
utaries. Kilgore Of Texas objected, and
the resolution was referred.
Cooper of Indiana made personal ex-
PLANTATION relative to the testimony taken
by the Raum investigating committee. He
proceeded, with continued calls to order,
and the speaker finally said the gentle
mans remarks were addressed more to
assailing Raum than answering any charge
made against himself.
The House then took up the urgency
deficiency appropriation bill in committee
of the whole. Bland of Missouri took ad-
vantage of the scope of debate to bring up
the silver question by having read Senator
Palmer's letter to a Chicago paper, declar-
ing the Bland bill not free coinage meas
ure. The committee rose and the bill,
which appropriates l,022, 636, was passed.
The House went into onmittee of the
whole on the naval appropriation bill, but
without action the committee rose and the
House adjourned.
