IN SENATE AND HOUSE.
Bond Resolution Temporarily Displaced by
Appropriation Bills.

Appropriation Bills,
WASHINGTON, April 2l The bond roso-
luton was temporarily displaced by uuan.
imous agreement in the senate yesterday
in order to permit action on the numerous
appropriation bills Already the Indian,
naval and sundry civil appropriation bills
are on the calendar, and the river and
harbor, Notifications and the District of
Columbia bills will be ready as soon as
the others are cleared away.
The agreement was not reached, how
ever without protest from the friends of
the bond resolution, which at one time
threatened n test vote or prolonged con.
test. Mr.. PETER, author of the bond reso-
lution, wanted time set for the vote on
the question, but Mr.. Hill declined to as.
sent TO fixing time. Mr. Allison's earn
est plea for the appropriation bills finally
induced the friends of the bond resolution
to give way. The Indian bill was debated
at some length
In response to resolution of inquiry
the secretary of the treasury sent to the
senate statement showing the name and
residence of each person who bid for bonds
in the recent sale, the distribution of the
bids by states, the bids which were ac.
cepted and the amount of bids at each
price offered. The secretary says the bid
of Messrs. j. p. Morgan & Co. at 110.6S7i
was accepted in part, the amount allotted
that firm being the remainder of the loan
after accepting in full all bids at a higher
price. The aggregate amount of payments
made to and including April 10 was S96,
97S,O50 face value of the bonds, with the
proper amounts of premium aud accrued
interest, the amount of principal and pre-
MUM being SlO7, m, ,S26.

WASHINGTON, April Representative
Black, of Georgia, called at the state de
partment and talked with the officials con
oerning Mr. Diaz, the Baptist missionary
under arrest in Havana for alleged com
plicity in the insurrection After the in
terview Mr. Black said that there was no
doubt that Diaz had taken out naturaliza-
tion papers during his residence in this
country, and is a citizen of the United
States. The state department, he said,
will see to it that Diaz is given fair trial
and accorded his rights as an American
citizen. Many requests are coming to
members from the southern states from
Baptist churches which contribute to the
support of the missionary work carried on
by Diaz. asking congressman to use their

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.
The Insurgents Have Lively Engagement
with a Spanish Gunboat.

Inc insurgents nave Lively EnRaSemenu
with a Spanish Gunboat.
HAVANA, April 21.-The gunboat Cen
tenila, commanded by Lieutenant Gonzalo
Puerta, while conveying Il schooner hav-
ing on board a number of soldiers and pro-
visions intended for the Spanish detach-
ment at Zania, on the river Canto, was
fired upon by the insurgents when enter
ing the river. The insurgents were in
strong force and occupied advantageous
positions. The sailors on board the gun
boat and the soldiers on board the schooner
replied to the enemy's fire and eventually
repulsed the enemy with great loss, but
nine of the thirteen men on board the
gunboat were killed, and on board the
schooner one soldier was killed and five
were wounded.
As the ammunition supply on both YES
sells was exhausted, the gunboat steamed
away and returned the next day with a
fresh stock of cartridges, resolved to make
another attempt to reach Zanja At the
entrance of the river the gunboat was
again fired upon; but, although she
only had four men, including Lieutenant
Puerta, on board, she succeeded in beat
ing the enemy and relieved the detach-
ment at Zanja. The lieutenant and the
ships corporal of the gunboat were both
seriously wounded. As a mark of APP
probation Of their gallantry, they have
been proposed for the Cross of San Fer
nando, the most distinguished military
order of Spain, only given to those who
have performed acts of remarkable valor.
Several additional skirmishes have taken
place, during which the insurgents lost fif-
teen killed and the troops had three killed

Would be Women Lyncbers.

SHAMoKIN, Pa, April 21.-Because she
refused to reveal the hiding place of her
new born babe, Miss Annie Boatner, of
Hickory Ridge, was nearly lynched by a
crowd OF infuriated women of that place
yesterday. They placed clothesline about
her neck, but not until it was considera-
bly, frightened did she admit giving birth
to a child. She then showed the women
where she had buried the child on lot,
and made confession of her crime. A
number of men kept the women at bay,
else they would most likely have lynched
her. Miss Boatner is now lying in crit
ical condition in the poorhouse, and is un-
der police surveillance pending an inquest
by the coroner.

HOME RULE FOR CUBA !
ReasserliOn of the Report of Spain's
Intentions
WILL BE TWO LOCAL BODIES
One of These is to be Known as the Pro-
vincial Chamber of Deputies and the
other as the Council of Administra-
tion-Expected in Four Weeks.

WASHINGTON, April 21.--The Spanish
government within the next four weeks
will put into execution a comprehensive
system of home rule or autonomy for the
Island of Cuba. There is good reason to
believe that the state department has re-
ceived from Madrid information to this
effect. In any event this important move
is assured. 1t promises to bring to an early
termination the irritation and friction
which has existed for many months be-
tween the United States and Spain, and to
replace this feeling with one of friendly
and amicable nature.
The law which will be put into effect
was signed by the queen regent of Spain
on March 10, 1895, and will be followed by
rules and regulations developing the pres
ent scheme of reforms BY the time the
queen regent makes her address to the
Spanish cortes, which will assemble May
IL, the law will be promulgated through
out Cuba, and the long expected policy of
home rule for Cuba will be realized.
The law is very elaborate in its provis-
ions. The element of home rule is secured
by the establishment of two local bodies,
drawn largely if not entirely, from resi-
dents of Cuba. One of these is to be known
as the provincial chamber of deputies and
the other as the council of administration.
The latter has appellate jurisdiction over
the former. Large powers are granted to
the council of administration in the in
ternal management of public affairs, but
the governor general will continue as the
supreme representative of Spain on the
island and will have direct charge of mill
tary, naval and international questions.
The details of the reform project were
published at the time of their adoption by
tho Snnnich nnrtns In 1909

MORE SCHOOL ROOM WANTED
Citizens Protest Against the School
Boards Present Plans.
THEY SUGGEST SOMETHING NEW.
1t is Urged That it viii be Cheaper to do
All Building at one Time Enlarge
the High School Addition or Build
on White Street.

When at its last meeting, the School Board
decided to go ahead with the construction of
the High school extension and leave the
erection of the new White street school
building for future consideration many
people accepted the action as a death blow to
the White street project for at least another
year. But so many citizens and Others in
terested in the public schools have raised a
protest since that meeting it is quite likely
that another program may be arranged. It
is an indisputable fact that the present num-
Der of school rooms in the town is far below
what it should be for the attendance, and the
enforcement of the compulsory educational
bill will make the situation more perplexing.
1t is surprising that so many citizens have
taken direct interest in the matter and it is
difficult to see how the School Board can
breast the sentiment that now prevails and
not alter the plans decided upon at its last
meeting.
Among the suggestions made by several
citizens is that the erection of the White
street school building be pushed, or arrange
ments be made to make the addition to the
High school building larger than now pro-
posed Mr.. Seymour Davis, the Philadel-
phia architect who is in charge of the work
now under consideration, arrived in town
this afternoon and, with some of the School
Directors made an inspection of the High
school building with view to determining
what kind of an increased addition can be
arranged, and the approximate cost.
The grounds upon which several citizens
base their protests against the present plans
are that it will be cheaper to do the whole
work at once and not make two bites at the
cherry" and that as more school room is an
absolute necessity the School Board should
not finch in providing it, even though Il
difficult financial problem presents itself.
They also add that the school district is in
better position to-day to build a six-room
school building than the borough was five
or six years ago to undertake the erection OF
public water works
