To the Army Bill Has Grown So
Strong as to Alarm lis Most
Ardent Friends and Supporters.

WASHINGTON, January 2I.-The oppo-
sition to the army reorganization bill on
the Republican side of the House has be-
come so strong that to-day Chairman
Hull, after MIR. Henderson, Of Iowa, one
of the floor leaders OF the majority, had
threatened to vote to re-commit the bill,
decided it would be wise in order to in
sure its passage, to abandon the idea of
providing directly for a regular army of
10000 men. He announced on the floor
that the committee woul offer amend
ments to reduce the number of enlisted
men to about COCO, but lodge In the Pres
ident's discretion the authority to increase
the army to a maximum or 10000. These
amendments have been prepared. They
provide hat the President may, in his dis
erection, enlist only sixty men in the in
fantry companies and sixty in the cavalry
troops. BY the terms of the bill there
are to be thirty infantry regiments of ten
companies each, with a strength Of lis
men, and u regiments Of cavalry OF 10
troops each. with a strength of 1CG men.
This discretion, if the President would ex-
ercise it, would reduce the number Of
enlisted men to about 1900, and practi-
caliy leave intact the organization pro-

cerned. How far this proposed modi1cq-
ton will aliay the opposition remains to
be seen. Mr.. Johnson, of Indiana, who
took a prominent part in the fight to-day
after the general debate closed. declared
that the purpose of the bill was to have
an army of 100, 0C0, either by direct author
ity or the exercise Of the Presidents dis
erection, and he declared his purpose to
fight to the bitter end the machinery
which was being forged for a colonial sys-
TEN. Mr.. Henderson in the course of the
debate to-day declared his belief in the
unwisdom of annexing the Philippines.
Mr.. johnson said the vital mistake was
made when the President instructed the
peace commissioners to demand the ces-
sion of the Philippines. The whole debate
to-day was spirited and so intense was the
struggle when the bill was taken up for
amendment under the five minute rule
that the first section had not been COM
pleted when the House recessed at 5
o'clock.

Grant Hull Releasrd from ~Custody-Su

Special. to the Register.
Martinsburg, w. Va, January Pin
the Circuit Court here yesterday the
case of State VS.. Grant Hull was called.
By a decision of the Supreme Court he
was granted a new trial. Hull was in
dicted in September, 1898, charged with
rape IN Ella May Glassner. The jury
who tried the case returned a verdict
of guilty with recommendations. The
attorneys for the defendant made a
motion for a new trial, which the court
overruled, sentencing Hull to seven
years in the pe~nitentiary. The case
was at once taken tt the Supreme
Court, which reversed the decision Of
this court and granted a new trial.
Prosecuting attorney U. S. G. Pitzer
stated that he had no new evidence
and asked the court for leave to enter
a nolle prosequi, which was granted.
Hull was then discharged from the
custody of the court. He has been
confined in the Jail here since the be-
ginning of his trial.

HE MAKES DENIAL.
Agoncillo Says He Did Not Try to Advise
Aguinaldo to Declare War.

A~guinaldo to Declare War.
Washington, January 27.-Agoncillo,
the representative of Aguinaldo, au-
thorized the following statement to-
day concerning a published report that
the government had intercepted dis
patches from him to A~guinaldo, in
which he advised that the Filipinos
would have tt fight for their indie
pendence and that now was the time
to act:
"The statement is absolutely false,
and is calculated to excite feeling and
animosity in this country and to preju-
dice the Philippine cause. No such
telegram has ever been sent by me,
and for that reason no such telegram
could have been intercepted. The falls
ity of the statement is shown by the
fact that l have cabled my government
to continue the same friendship which
was borne on the battlefield against
Spain. The Philippine people have no
wish and no purpose to fight against
the Americans unless they are driven
to it. Their only desire is to strength
IN the bonds now existing"
Other members Of the Filipino junta
who were present when Agoncillo made
his statement concurred in what he
said and emphasized the latter's de-
claration that all his advices had been
toward an avoidance Of a rupture. In
other quarters it was stated that Agon-
clio had sent dispatches from time to
time, three rather long ones going
within the last few days. According
to the Filipinos nothing that has been
sent advised fighting, but everything
has counseled continued friendship.
Under such circumstances the mem
bers of the junta assert that any in
eliminating dispatches which has come
into the hands of the government Is

any advice to Aguinaldo to begin fight
ing. Beyond denying this report
Agoncillo said he had nothing to make
public as to the communications to or
from Aguinaldo. He expressed the
positive opinion, however, that the
cable report that the Filipino Congress
had authorized a declaration of war
was not correct, as he says the Filipino
people do not want a conflict with the
Americans and will do everything pos
sible to avoid it.
