55th CONGRESS-.
Lodge and Clay Favor Imme-
date Ratification of Treaty.
Differ on Expansion But Agree on
Necessity Of Prompt Action.
Central Debate on Army Reorganization Bill
Opens in House.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Two notable
speeches We're delivered in the Senate
today, one by Mr.. Lodge Of Massachu-
setts. and the other by Mr.. Clay OF
Georgia. While the two senators diff
fered Numerically as to the policy of
expansion upon which they dwelt, both
were in favor of the Immediate ratifica-
ton of the pending peace treaty. They
contended that. once the treaty was
ratified. Congress would have full pow
err to deal with conditions respecting
the territory acquired during the war
with Spain. and not before.
Mr.. Lodge practically argued for a
formal declaration of peace which
could be had only by the ratification
of the treaty. That accomplished, he
was willing to trust the American Con
gress and the American people to deal
fairly. justly and periodically with the
Philippine Islands, with full regard 70
the principles of our government as set
forth in the constitution and the de.
claration of independence.
Mr.. Clay was inclined to the belief
that it might be desirable for Congress
to make a declaration of intention re-
garding the Philippines before the
treaty was ratified. He strongly op.
posed expansion. especially on the
ground that it would necessitate the
maintenance of a large and expensive
standing army.

FILIPINO JUNTA

Gen. Rios Cables that Sick Spanish Prisoners
Were Released. Tuesday.

Hong Kong. Jan. 24.-The members
oft the Filipino Junta here have issued
the following statement.
THE purchase of the American au-
thorities at Hong Kong of a number Of
steam launches for river work in the
Philippine islands is high handed, un-
necessary and vexatious .Domiciliary
visits throughout Manila are exasper-
ating the Filipinos. Their suspicious
are aroused by such actions. The dis
patch of reinforcements is inconpati-
BILE with peace and the appointment OF
a commission is only a pretext to gain
time. The American secret policy is
acting extensively towards the Filipi-
nos at Hong Hong who are British sub
jects. The Filipino Congress at Malo-
los has unanimously vetoed annexa-
ton

Reports from the interior indicate
that Aguinaldo's authority is now gen.
orally recognized. Every available
male is being recruited and arms de-
pots are being established at San Ber-
nandino. Union, Trinidad and other
large towns. The surrounding coun-
try is being levied on for supplies and
and the Fflipinos troops are living on
the fat of the land. while the native
villagers are compelled to subsist on
rice.
There is some friction between the
Filipino civil and military authorities.
but they are united on the question of
independence.
1t is estimated that there are fully
10000 Filipinos under arms and it is
said that there are nearly so Maxim
guns at MalOlos. some of them having
been recently acquired.
The Filipino military authorities are
convinced. they say, that the Ameri-
cans will be unable to work effectively
outside of Manila in the event of hos
tilities. hence they feel confidence in
the future. Many of the Filipino off,
GERS complain of alleged discourteous
treatment upon the part Of Americans
at Manila.
