for Washington this morning after rest
ing a few days following his recent visit
to Boston with President Mckinley and
the members of his cabinet. Before his

President Mckinley sent any detectives
to Manila to investigate the situation,
which was ascribed to him in yester-
days dispatches from Hong Kong. In
relation TO papers being in the hands of
the Secretary of the Navy relating to a
contract made by United States Consul
Wildman aud Rear Admiral Dewey Mr..
Long said he had no letters relating

the dispatches is all news to him. He
added, in conclusion, that he does not
think there is any foundation in the

CAPTAIN EVANS ON THE WAR.

Washington consisted mainly in doing
honor to Captain Robley ID. Evans. He
came with Congressman Brownweu to
attend the banquet Of the Stamina
League club banquet tonight. At noon
he was brought to the floor of the cham
Der of commerce where q great assemblage
cheered him. Captain Evans made II
speech He said the navy went into the
Spanish war because the commander-in-
chief, William Mckinley, and the Con
gress declared that war existed with
Spain. That 1t WAS war for humanity
was taken with some reservation by the
navy, though it was true that the Ameri-
can nation had become very weary OF the
Starving of women and children at our
very doors. He insisted that the real
reason that actuated the navy was obedi-
ence to orders, but he added the loss of
266 comrades had much TO do with the
Willingness with which orders were
obeyed. Ignoring all reference to tie
officers, who, he said, had been too full y
praised already, he paid splendid tribute
to the men behind the guns, be never
saw sIoh devotion and courage as these
men exhibited. Mrs. Browning had ex-
pressed the idea exactly when she said
loey all stood ready TO flash their souls
out with their guns and enter their

STORMY TIMES IN SPAIN.
Ministerial Success Only I'm
Cortes.

Madrid, February 21.-The meeting Of
the Bnreaux this evening to appoint
commission to examine the bill for the
cession Of the Philippines, resulted In
only a nominal ministerial success. AL,
though the ministerial candidates chosen
were four and the opposition candidates
only three yet, on division, the oppo
sition will muster 90 votes against 81
ministerialists The opposition will there
fore submit counter measure.
The Republican motion in support OF
summoning the Constituent assembly,
led to Q stormy debate in the chamber Of
deputies. Prof. Salmeron, the Republi-
can leader, In the course of violent
speech said the Republicans had re-
sumed their seats In parliament IN order
to force the government to accept its re-
sponsibilities In his opinion not only
those governing, but present ipstitu-
tions themselves would fall victims to
the present disasters. He severely CEN
sured the ministers for endeavorinR to
save the monarchy rather than the coun-
hYour colonial policy" he said, was
disastrous. because you Joined sword and
cassock In order to restore feudal
theocracy with all sorts OF privileges.
The government has surrendered to the
United States Spsin's whole colonial
empire, and the peace that has been
signed is the most shameful recorded
in history"
After being called to order for yelled
reference TO the crown, Prof Salm sron
declared that the Conservative party was
primarily responsible for the country's
disasters, since 1t had failed to apply in
Cuba reforms voted by all parties, and
the present government must also be
held responsible for making dishonor-
able peace. He advocated calling the
constituent assembly which, he said,
would "kill forever both Carlism ami
any attempt at dictatorship.
He appealed to all the ministerial and
Democratic forces to cooperate and so
az revent the triumph of the Vatican and
the reactionaries.
Senior Sagasta replying, said: "We lost
war. When you were in power greater
calsmities occurred. The United States
drove us to war, for which no regime is
blameable; and no regime could make %
nation weakened by two colonial re-
belliops, strong. I will oppose reaction
with all my force. l am incapable OF de-
stroying the nations liberties, by Break
ing the law"
The result of the debate in che cham
Der. upon the motion of Senior Silvela,
leader of the Conservatives, oensuring the
government for Indifference" to the
country's troubles, was the withdrawal OF
the resolution.

of Col. Woodruff, assistant commissary
general being the most notable. He pur-
chased more than S00,000 pounds of
canned roast beef and told Of the method
Of purchase and the reasons that prompt
ed 1t. He took issue with Gen. Miles's
contention that beef on the hoof was the
usual source Of fresh meat supply to the
army. Another feature Of the day was
the introduction of DR.. DAILY. who charged
before the war comm lesion that refrigerat.
