THE NEW ARMY BILL,
Mr.. Cockrell Defends the Compromis,
Measure in the Senate.

Mr.. Cockrel1 Defends the Compromise
Measure in the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-When the
compromise army bill came up in the
senate it was advocated by Senator
Cockrell of Missouri, one Of the princi-
pal opponents Of the Hull bill.
Mr.. Cockrell defended the increase in
the staff as necessary in connection with
the general increase in numbers in
army. Likewise the general officers
provided for were also necessary. There
would be no burden on the people and
Mr.. Cockrell thought the bill should be
accepted. It was the best bill for the
reorganization Of the army that had
been presented in the senate since he
had become member Of that body, in
1876. If the present opportunity was
lost, so acceptable bill would not again
be secured.
Mr.. German spoke against the army
bill. He said the bill should have a
single proviso that all increases should
cease in 1901, and the army decreased
to q, 900 men.

The DISPATCH Discredited.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-The govern

ment in the Madrid dispatch that the
foreign warships are Disseminating
troops at Manila. Spanish sources of
information respecting the Philippine
islands, they say, are not to be relied
upon as the press and people of Spain
do not hesitate to circulate statements
ininical to the interests of this country.

Congress May Create Vice Admiralships
for Schley and sampson.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-The under
standing among Admiral Schley's
friends now is that they will not further
press the fight over the question of Ad-
miral SIMPSONS advancement over Ad-
miral Schley. They will, therefore,
agree to let the nominations be con-
firmed without much if any debate,
depending upon future legislation to
place Admiral Schley before the coun-
try in the position which they think he
should occupy. They purpose to ask
that provision be made for the appoint
ment of two vice admirals, with the
understanding that Messrs. Schley and
Sampson shall be nominated to the two
places thus created. Admiral Schley
told his senatorial friends that he was
willing to trust his fortunes to their
care.
