QUAY TWELVE SHORT.
There Was an Increased Attendance at
To-days Session.
Special 10 EvEvINa HERALD.


To-days Session.
Special to EvESING HERALD
Harrisburg, Feb. %. There WAS AN in
creased attendance at the joint session Of the
Legislature to-day. but no new developments
were forthcoming Senator Quay received 80
votes. jerks 73, Dalzell Is, aud scattering 81;
total, 2l5 Senator Quay was twelve short
but when Weiss and Manning, the recently
elected anti-Quay men, take their Seats
probably tomorrow, be will be fifteen short
on full vote.
There will be no material changes in the
Senatorial situation until Senator Quay's
trial, called for next Monday This is the
opinion Of the politicians here.
Senator Higgins, Of Schuylkill who has
been in the Harrisburg hospital since the
opening of the session with pneumonia, is
convalcscent and will probably take his
seat next Monday. He is a Democrat, aud
will naturally vote for Mr.. jerks, although
he is suspected Of having a warm side for the
Beaver Senator on account of his relations
with ex-senator Coylo Mr Higgins has
never qualified, and as result none of the
Quay Legislators will pair with him.
The Quay people, it is thought, will be un-
able to force through the Magee jury bill in
time to be of benefit to the Senator, unless
his trial is again postponed next Monday.
Even the Senators most sanguiDe friends
can see little hope of his election unless the
conspiracy charges against him are disproved.
All their efforts to break the Democratic col
umn So far have failed and the 'insurgent'
Republicans cannot be coaxed or driven under
the Ouay banner

OUR NEW
ALLIES !
Natives of Negro8 Glad to Be I'm
der the Stars and Stripes.
COMMISSIONERS VISIT GEN. OTIS.

They Declare That the Inhabitants OF
the Island Are Ready, Anxious aud
willing to Accept Any Proposition
Made on Behalf OF Our Government.
Manila, Feb. 23-While the guns on
the city walls and those on board the
ships OF Rear Admiral Dewey's fleet in
the bay fred n salute in honor OF Wash
ington's birthday four commissioners
from the Island Of Ncgros had an inter
view with Major General Otis and in
formed him that the American fag had
already been raised over that island and
that its inhabitants were ready, anxious
and willing to accept any proposition the
Americans might offer.
The insurgents have been driven from
the island entirely. Although the lloilo
rebels have given the people OF Negros
much trouble, especially in the matter
OF financial assistance demanded by the
rebel leaders, the inhabitants Of Negros
have persistently held aloof, and now,
through the commissioners, announce
that they want the advice and help Of
General Otis The latter assured them
that the Americans would provide an
acceptable government, and in the mean
rebels anything. The Negros commits
sioners we're delighted with their re-
ception.
Immense damage has been done by
fires which are believed to have been
started by insurgents last night. The
fire department has experienced great
difficulty in fighting the flames owing
TO defective apparatus. 1t is reported
that the natives have damaged the ap-
paratus. There was some fighting in the
streets during the night. but the Ameri-
cans quickly quelled the uprising. A
number OF the insurgents were killed and
several American soldiers wounded.
A large market place was among the
first to burn, between 600 and 700 resi-
dences and business houses having also
been destroyed. Fires were started at
several points simultaneously and spread
ing with great ropidity resisted all efforts
to control them. Hundreds Of homeless
natives are huddled in the streets, max
ing the patrol duty of the Americans

He VIII Put an End to the Guerrilla
Methods of the Rebels.
Washington, Feb. 23.-The authorities
here are giving close attention to the
daily developments in the military stu
alton in the Philippines, and have de-
cided to push the campaign against the
rebellious followers of Aguinaldo with
energy. Every casualty report that
comes from General Otis notes the
wounding or killing of some Of the Amer
lean troops by what are practically
sharpsho0ters on the other side. The in
surgents apparently have learned that
they cannot hope to cope with American
troops on anything like even terms in
regular battle. and from now on they are
expected to rely upon the harrassing tao
tics they have practiced for the past ten
DAYS. The main body Of insurgents have
now fallen back well out OF the line Of
effective range of the gunboats, but as
the American troops have been obliged
to extend their lines the troops are ex-
posed to the fire Of these guerrillas with
out an opportunity to retalhute, for the
enemy flee before an advance in force.
This was, after all. about what was eX-
pected by the war department, and that
was why in sending rcinforcemcnts TO
General Otis, they made it point TO
send as many as possible Of the regular
troops who had seen lighting in the bad
lands of the west General Lawton, who
goes out to take command of these
troops. is an old Indian fighter, and soon
after these troops arrive, within two or
three weeks. a forward campaign will
begin and a heavy blow be struck that
will keep the insurgents quiet during the
rainy season, if it does not bring about
their immediate surrender.
