Washington, Jan. H.-An effort on
the part of Mr.. Allison to obtain con-

tated a running debate, which occupied
all the time until the senate at O'Clock
went into executive session on the

leading the opponents Of the treaty.
opened the debate by insisting that
time SHOULD be taken for the discussion
of pending resolutions having a COL
lateral bearing upon the treaty before
the treaty itself was disposed Of, and
Mr. Bacon's resolutions finally were
laid before the senate. Mr.. Carter. Of
Montana, in an impassioned speech, de-

Havana, Jan. 3l.-Presdent McKin-
ley is understood to have empowered
Robert p. Porter to arrange for the
disbursement of s3000,000 among the
Cuban soldiers. Mr.. Porter will prob
ably go with Senior Gonzales De Que

Maxine Gomez to persuade the Cuban
commanderin-ch to disband his
forces and to lend his influence to the
United States military administration.
DR.. Castillo. who returned from
Remedies yesterday after a two days

ter is much hurt by what he regards as
American neglect of his authority and
rights, and is determined not to advise
his soldiers to go home penniless.
Gomez purposes coming into the neigh

date has not yet been fixed.
There Is some doubt whether he and
the other military chiefs will accept

favorable conditions NAV be offered.

from the president to the commission

The principal interest among the

the Island of Luzon, and after that in
the decision to take the entire group
Of islands. This latter development ap-
pears from the correspondence to be

By the commissioners to the president
as the result of occurrences at Paris

sioners. In his dispatch concerning
Luzon he said there was but one al
tentative. The United States must
either take the island and assume
sovereignty or return it to Spain, and
of the two courses he preferred the
former
Spain was from the first unwilling t.
cede any of the Philippines. and she
made especial objection to letting go OF
Luzon alone. The commissioners, with
the exception of Senator Gray, urged
that to take Luzon and leave the other
Islands Of the archipelago in the hands
of the Spaniards would be to invite In
Vulnerable complications with other
nations. and especially with Spain
Much stress was laid upon the proba-
bility of future trouble with spain
