ity and dictates to the American au.
thorities In absurd terms. He has
commanded the insurgents ON the
southern approaches to Manila to hold
their bullocks and ponies and not to
furnish them to the Americans for
transportation without his sanction.
General Merritt adopted firm measures
warning Asuinaldo that force will be
used to impress the means Of transport,
which were ultimately forthcoming.
Aguinaldo's action makes the attack
on Manila problematical.

ferencu Is not known. Scientific men who
are interested in the pathological features
of Durrants case are grievously disaU-
pointed at the prospect that no autopsy
will pe allowed on the remains. The fact
that Durrant having been well advanced
as n meuical student should have made a
positive request that 10 exam ination be
made OF his face or head after death is
commented on as significant. IL seems
no measurements of Durrant's head have

Senators Predict War With Spain
in the Near Future.
Washington, Feb. N.--While the sem
ate had under consideration the diplo-
matte and consular appropriation bill
yesterday a sharp debate on the Cuban
situation was precipitated by Mr. AL
len, of Nebraska, who offered as an
amendment the resolution passed by
the senate year ago recognizing the
belligerent rights of the Cuban insurg-
ents. Mr.. Morgan, Of Alabama, said
that this country's relations with Spain
at the present time were seriously
strained and that intervention by the
United States, which year ago would
have been offensive, would now be al
most cause for war. He expressed
the opinion that the Cuban affair would
eventually be submitted to the arbitra-
ment of the sword between the Uni
ted States and Spain. Mr.. Foraker, Of
Ohio, thought the day not for distant
when the time for action by this coun-
try would arrive. Mr. Thurston, of Ne
braska, counseled calmness and pru-
dence, for he believed that the coun-
Try was rapidly drifting into war
Will PAIL MI. I1btlL tIislt
the floor of the senate was no proper
place for angry discussions on inter-
national affairs, and that no senator
ought to utter anything that might not
well be uttered by the president of the
United States. Mr.. Aliens amendment
was ruled out of order, and the ap-
peal from the ruling was laid on the
table. Mr. Allen offered a resolution
providing for committee of five sena-
tors who should go to Cuba and ascer-
tain the precise situation on the island.
a variety of subjects occupied the at
tentnn of the house during the con-
sideratiun OF the sundry civil apprO-
priatiun bill. Mr.. Mahany, Of New
York, made an attack on the patriotism
of some of the social leaders of New
York, whom he said held high
revel while the nation was bowed down
with grief over the loss Of life result
ing from the Maine explosion. The
item appropriating $4,000 for power for
the pneumatic tube mail system oc-
casioned good deal of debate, but it
stood IN the bill.
