FOR OUR DEFENSES.
House Bill Appropriating $780,
100000 Introduced.
HAWLEY ARTILLERY BILL PASSED.
Expressions Implying support of Govern
ment In Event of Crisis Received
with Applause In the House.
Dull Day In Senate.

WASHINGTON, March S.-The spirit
of patriotism was rampant in the house
yesterday. and by almost a unanimous
vote the Hawley bill providing for two
additional regiments of artillery was
passed under suspension of the rules.
No effort was made TO obstruct action,
but Mr.. Bailey, the Democratic leader,
pleaded for more time than the 40 min
utes allowed under the rule, and be-
cause it was refused, after the bill had
been passed. he inaugurated q filibuster
against District of Columbia legislation
that continued all day Mr.. Bailey de-
sired to speak in favor Of the bill but
could not get time.
Chairman Cannon Of the appropria-
tions committee introduced a bill en-
titled Making Appropriations For the
National Defense" It is as follows:
THAT there is hereby appropriated out
of any money in the treasury not 9TH
erwise appropriated for the national de-
fense and for each and every purpose
connected Herewith, to be expended at
the discretion Of the president and to
remain available until June 30, 1892
$50, ,OOO 00O."
IL was referred to the committee on
appropriations. Mr.. Cannon had an in
tervlew with the president and at its
conclusion went to the capitol and call
ed q special meeting of the appropria-
tions committee. After this meeting
Mr. Cannon introduced the national de-
fense bill in the house.
The appropriation Of $50, 900, 900 for the
national defense, for which provision
was made In the bill, will not involve
the issue OF bonds. This announcement
was made by the treasury officials, who
stated that the treasury was amply
prepared TO meet any demands that
will likely be made upon it. on Feb 1
the cash in the treasury amounted to
$3.50, 57l76G. OF which $20i 81 was
gold, S511, SOS S34 silver. $lO7, 564. 958 in pa
per currency and SS3.Osi, ,OO2 in disburs-
ing officers balances. etc. The net
available cash on hand, above all liza
bilities. amounts TO s225.564,2 2O3.
Mr.. Cox OF Tennessee and MIR. Jones
Of Virginia both antagonized the Haw-
ley bin on the ground that 1t made a
( permanent increase OF the standing
army. Most Of the time in favor OF the
/ bill was consumed in one minute
/ speeches Mr.. Hull and the Republic
/ ans refralned from referring to any
| emergency. but some Of the Democrats
/ who spoke did, and Mr.. williams OF
/ Mississippi referred directly to proba-
bic war with Spain. Every expression
construed into reference to the sup.
/ port of the government in a possible
/ crisis was received with applause.

Europe WIN Not Ally Against Us.

LONDON, March S.-The Daily News,
ia its editorial on the Cuban situation,
says: I'VE cannot doubt as to the ulti-
mate Issue OF a war between the United
states and Spain, but America might
have bad quarter Of an hour before
victory. European alliances against
the United States may be left out of
the question, despite the tall talk of
Spains friends. The attitude Of the
Spanish American republics may give
the American government pause. The
one thing needful, so far as England is
concerned, is that those who have so
often mismanaged our relations with
the United States should not repeat
their historic mistakes"
The Times says editorially: I'VE do
not believe that Spain desires war; but
IL she does this evidence of Americas
alortness offers a most effectual check.
President Mckinley appears to be ad-
herring Loyalty TO the policy Of hrmness,
caution and pacific circumspectlon he
has hitherto pursued. No doubt he has
the support of the sober and conscien-
tious mass Of the American people, but
he has to face outbursts Of popular
clamor that weaker man might have
mistaken for the voice OF the country

the ammunition chests Of the warsnips
now in service.
IL is not felt at the navy department
that the people of the Montgomery are
taking any particular risks In going TO
Havana at this time. for It Is said that
even should hostilities break out It Is
a rule Of honorable warfare that they
be given safe convoy out of the waters
OF the hostile country. or course Cen
eral Lee and the members Of the court
Of inquiry at Havana would be equally
exempt from molestation.
Without delay the officers OF the ad-
1utant generals department have given
the necessary orders for the recruiting
Of the two new artillery regiments au-
thorlzed by congress. The purpose is TO
enlist such men as have had service IN
the artillery wherever possible, and no
doubt Is entertained that plenty Of ma
terial Of the right kind viii offer. The
names Of the officers of the new regi-
ments are now being selected AS for
the men, Il Is the plan TO assign 10 sol
diers from existing artillery regiments
as the nucleus Of each new company TO
take hold OF and break I'm the men who
are enlisted, and it is expected that in
very short time Uncle Sam will have
two good regiments. The headquarters
Of one Of these regiments will be es-
tablished at Fort Slocum, In Long Is
land sound commanding New York. as
there are suitable quarters available
there. The destination Of the other reg
iment has not been decided upon.
No report has come to the navy de-
partment since Saturday relative to the
work Of the court OF inquiry at Havana.
and the news Is confined 20 the reports
Of the newspapers, which arc carefully
scanned by the officers. The Castine,
which was docked at Port Of France,
has sailed for Barbados. The torpedo
boat Winslow has arrived at Charleston
en- route to Key West. The Oregon,
which has been fitted with bilge keels
at the Bremerton dock on Puget sound,
has sailed for San Francisco.

WILLBAR THE YUKON
Canada Incensed at Alaska
Homestead Law.
THREATENS ALL SORTS OF THINGS.
One Is to Keep the Goldhelds Undeveloped
TIL Railway Can BE Built From
British Columbia Port-AIll-
itary Ordered Out.

TORONTO March s.-The ottawa
correspondent of The Globe (the Liberal
governments mouthpiece), referring to
the passage Of the Alaskan homestead
law by the United States and the con-
cessions to be asked from Canada in
return for the privilege Of bonding goods
at Fort Wrangel says:
'"rhe answer of our government to
the remarkable legislation passed by
the senate at Washington on Friday,
should it receive the presidents sane
tion, win be a courteous reminder that
we intend to navigate the Stikeen under
the treaty rights, which give US this
privil ge forever.
1.-THE bill adopted in effect gives us
the right to enter goods at Wrangel and
trans hip In bond only on certain Inn
possible conditions, among them that
we allow all American miners entering
the Yukon to carry in half ton of food
clothing and plant free of duty; that
we shall allow American fishermen the
right to purchase bait in our ports;
that we shall give charters to Ameri-
can railways beginning at Dyea and
Skaguay and desiring to build through
British territory; that we shall issue
miners licenses at points convenient
for United States citizens. There is not
petty South American state would al
low itself to be held up in this manner,
and there is a good deal of scornful
amuse sement among members Of parlia-
ment over the demands Of the United
States senate.
1T viii probably be intimated to the
authorities at Washington as plainly
as diplomatic words can intimate il
that Canada win shut up the Yukon as
tight as bottle, turn back all Ameri-
can miners and keep the goldhelds rs
they are, undeveloped until a railway
can be built from an ocean port Of Brit
ish Columbia into the region rather
/ than submit to any terms Of the sort
/ contained ia the bill"

SPAIN BACKS DOWN.
Withdraws Request For Gen
eral Lees Recall.
FERN TO CARRY SUPPLIES TO CUBA.
Cruiser Montgomery Ordered to Proceed
at Once TO Havana TO Replace the
Forn-warships offered to
Uncle sam.

WASHINGTON, March s.-There are
no less than i've important events to
be reported having a bearing more OF
less direct upon the troubled relations
between the United States and Spain
viz: The introduction in congress by
Mr. Cannon OF resolution carrying
S50,O00,O00 for the public defense, the
withdrawal by the Spanish government
Of its intlmated objection to the con-
tinuance in Office OF Consul General
Lee, the order of the cruiser Montgom-
cry TO proceed 10 Havana In place Of
the Fern, the passage through hehouse
of the bill increas4s 3 the artillery arm
by two regiments and the institution Of
negotiations looking to the purchase OF
warships for our navy.
Mr.. Cannon's resolution probably led
all other topics in interest. particularly
when IL became known that it was the
result OF a conference between the au-
thor, the president Senator Hale and
other leading spirits in congress. AS
for General Lees case, the news OF the
satisfactory ending of the incident
through the withdrawal OF the sugges-
tion by Spain was expected as soon as

miral sicard's order directing the de-
parture Of the cruisers Nashville and
Montgomery for Matanzas and Sagua
Ia Grande with supplies for the recon-

conference between Admiral Sicard and
Commander West. and shortly after
Admiral Sicard countermanded the or
der and directed that the Montgomery
proceed as soon as possible to Havana,
while the Fern was assigned TO the duty
Of carrying supplies TO Aiatanzas.
The official reason for the Montgom-

merely to relieve the dispatch boat
Fern. A naval oflicer--one Of the few
