A American Military and Naval
Force Sent There.
Unusual LAWLESSyESS REPORTED.
Fhe Congress Of the Revolutionary Gov-
ernment Of the Filio'n,s All 'urn%'
Diving ca the d fiicu ~ Of Form
ing " Constitution.

Washington, Dec 27.-The admins
tration has taken steps TO safeguard
American in terests in the city of lloilo,
on the island OF Panay, one of the Phil
ippine archpelag and military and
naval expedition is now on its way
there from Manila. Cable advices
were received here yesterday from
Gen. Otis, commanding the military
forces in the Philippines, and Admiral
Dewey, commanding the naval forces
there, showing that they are acting in
concert in the matter.
Gen. Otis reported that he had lis
patched two regiments and battery
of artillery to Iloilo on army trans.
ports, and Ad niral Dewey notified the
navy department that the cruiser Bal
timore had sailed from Manila for the
same place. 1t isexplained that these
officers are acting upon their own dis
erection in the matter, and that no Off
cial advices have been received here to
indicate that there is any unusual law
lessness in lloilo.
Several days ago it was reported, by
way OF Madrid, that the Spanish
forces in Iloilo had been attacked by
the insurgents and had driven them
back with heavy losses, but this report
lacSs official confirmation. The United
States expedition is more in the ma
ture of a precahtion, but will take &C.
tive measures for the suppression of
lawlessness In case the condition of
affairs requires it. Admiral Dewey is
anxious for the arrival OF the Buffalo,
which is now near Malta, en- route to
Manila, in order tnat he may send

WHO DID THE TALKING.


Washington, Dec. 27.-An examina.
ton of the senate portion OF the Con.
gressional Record for the last, or Sec
ond, session Of the present congress
shows there were 36.329 inches, or
about 5000 feet of printed de-
bate in columns 81 inches wide,
set in minion type At this
rate each OF the SO senators
was entitled to about 400 inches. Sen.
ator Allen, Of Nebraska, is the cham.
pion long-distance talker of the United

per cent. Of the eTtlre time of that
body during the last session.
His remarks measure 2,0S5 inches.
Senator Pettigrew occupied 1897
inches, being the second in yer.
bosity. Senator Teller was third. He
occupied 1891 inches, and Senator But
Ter $50 inches. These four thus con-

FOR HOBSON'S OWN GOOD.
1t Was TO Rescue the Young Naval Hero
from the kissing Craze That the Gov
eminent Sent Him to Hong Kong.

Washington, Dec. 27-With ell
ing of relief the officials of the avv
department heard that Hobse had
actually sailed from San Fra !. isco.
Now that the thing is over, it nay be
stated that his superiors arranged the
detail of the hero of the Merrimac to
go to Hong Kong for his own good,
more than from the needs of the serv-
ice. Nothing is the matter with the
gallant young officer which will not
be remedied by long, quiet voyage
and an assignment under a strong
commander like Admiral Dewey for a
few months Had he remained in this
country under the high pressure there
is no telling what the consequences
might have been.
Hobson, before he came into the
public eye SO conspicuously, was a re.
firing, Woodworking man. After the
terrible strain of his experience in
trying to blockade the mouth of Sant.
ago bay he was allowed to apply him.
self without restraint to the work Of
saving one of the Spanish warships
Ever since last June the strain
has been maintained and to it has
been added the disturbing inhu-
enca of popular adulation of an
overwhelming kind. Hobson's supe.
riors at the department have been OBJ
serving with apprehension the effect
Of the strain and of the adulation.
They realized that for his own safety
something must be done. And hence
the duty in Hong Kong was planned.
The recent kissing exploits were not
like the real Hobson and the newspa.
