Washington, June 29.-The house,
after sending the Indian sundry civil

among the measures passed were
those providing Tor the enlistment OF
cooks in the army; providing for the
appointment Of military storekeepers;
providing for the protection of harbor
defenses against wanton and malicious
injury; and giving the secretary Of
war discretion to permit any church
or religious sect to erect its house OF

Washington, June 30.-After a debate
lasting three hours the senate finally
receded from its amendments to the

the conference report on the Indian

The senate committee on privileges

the conference. There are no steno-
graphic minutes OF the meeting. The
secretaries each record the proceedings

III Tor no o5her reason than the fact
that the Philippine islands were not

touched upon the question of the Phil

MORE SPANISH TROOPS.
They Send Heinforcepsents to Philippines
to Fight the Insurgents


WASHINGTON, OctS.-Admiral Dewey
has cabled the navy department. that he
has been advised that number of
Spanish troops have arrived at Singa-
pore bound for the Philippines to rein
force the Spanish garrison at Iloilo, on
the island of Panay. At this place is
concentrated about all that remains of
the Spanish army of occupation of the
Philippines outside Of the few troops
on the island of Luzon. La dispatch
ing troops from Spain to the islands,
the Spanish government has raised the
direct question as to the right to rein
force troops now engaged i'll active hos
tihties with the isurgent forces.
The weight of opinion here is that
this action is permissible and does not
constitute breach of the terms Of the
protocol suspending hostilities. A good
deal, however, may depend on whether
the Spaniards confine themselves to a
defensive position or undertake to carry
on an offensive war against the insur-
gents The cabinet today gave some
consideration TO this subject, which in
the end is likely to be left to the dispo-
| sition of the peace commission.

goes to the racetrack None can be Tonnd a1St, who will defend gambling, but run a single day. Yet nearly all con sented to do something that insured the of the track. With regard to Fabiola the same argument holds good. except that lhe Iaoles, even some on the board of d. rectors, have made stronger arguments against the influence of the track than the men. Now then, the question arises, IS the price paid by the racing people thlrd paid by them, because of the in creased attendance encouraged to the track by those interested in the benefits equal Tn value to the license thus publicly accorded 1t. and which Dr. Dille very apty called "a certificate of respectable ity!r 1t is no exaggeration to say that. present the greatest benefactor this city has known since James G. Fair built the narroW-gauge railroad.
 How long is this hallucination to last? surely 1t cannot be necessary for some public official to loot a treasury or fill a suicides grave or be fugitive before Analyze the situation and we find that if S6000 is received for both these bene- fits CD fully one-half of il has been due to the energy, not of the racetrack peo- pie, but of the ladies and gentlemen in terested in swelling the gate receipts for two days out of six months of racing. It
  do not, on these days, take in as much additional coin as is handed back to the benefit committees.
 Dr. Dille's logic was sound, but he was probably too specific in his choice of words. I candidly believe that the noble ladies of Fabiola and the active mer- chants of this city do not fully realize the full significance of closing stores so that their young men and women can attend the race track even for one day, for poor Widber must have made his debut at a track some one day in his life. Korean I think that there will ever be another Fabiola day at the track. That worthy charity can depend on sup port from less questionable sources.
 It must be admitted that if anything can condone a pubnC benefit at the race track that thing is the necessity for the tunnel road between the two counties Many years ago, at the first public meet ing I attended in Oakland, the tunnel road was the subject under discussion. It's benefits were set forth by merchants, contractors and others in the old quarters of the Board of Trade. Whatever argu- ments were made then, when an electric road was a novelty in this city, are four times more forcible now. The obstacle all along has been the impossibillty or raising funds, and consequently when the race track was proposed as a medium everybody fell in line and the special committees did splendid work. The sit uation no doubt appeared to them as Tennyson made it appear to the heroes of Balaklava- If some one had blunoereo to at the beginning 1t was not thelrS t9 make reply, but simply to do and ole ana they did their duty well.
 These matters will no doubt receive much consideration before next fall
