pines had chung steadily TO a hope tEat
by tact and patience actual fighting
might oe averted. and even those public
men who felt that hostilities would fol-
low should the treaty be ratified and
the United States attempt 20 occupy
the islands believed that AguinaIdo
would not force the fighting when the
treaty Of peace was in its most critical
stage. Some senatorial opponents OF
ratification OF the treaty adhere to their
position. but the general opinion il
Washington last night was that the
news from Manila insures the ratIdca-
tlon OF the treaty this afternoon.
The officers in Manila had not been
blind TO the threat contained in tho
situation there, and every preparation
has been made for just what occurred.
The situation is regarded here as rather
anomalous from a diplomatic stand
point. Legally the FilipinOs are still
Spanish subjects. Therefore if opera
tions continue outside of the limits of
Manila, as laid down in the protocol. it
will amount to a resumption of the war
with Spain. at least technically. APP
proXimately 6.Ce0 men are on their way
to join General Otis in four separate
expeditions. though none is expected to
reach Manila for three weeks or a
month.
No one here knows the real strength
of the insurgents opposed TO General
Otis. The accounts of their number are
conflicting and none of them comes
from reliable sources. Still, the best be-
lief of the authorities at the war de-
partment is that they number about
so goo men, but they are not comparable
to the American forces in personnel, dis
cipline or quality of arms. Their strong
point is their knowledge of the country
and a certain fanatical bravery in on
slaught that would be formidable TO a
volunteer force not we'll trained to stand
fire.
One of the first steps Of the admins
tration upon hearing of the outbreak at
Manila was to give attention to the
presence in Washington of Agoncillo.
the accredited representative here OF
the Philippine insurgents. They would
not say whether or not any steps had
from the United States or to his arrest,
ready been the subject of careful study.
The officials have been 10th to disturb
him. first because they did not care TO
martyrize him unnecessarily and sec
ondly because they cid not care to eX-
pose themselves to the criticism that
they were interfering improperly with
the supply of information and arEu-
ments respecting the Philippine ques-
tion while the treaty was pending be
fore the senate. 1t was said at the state
department plainly that Agoncillo was
either a traitor or a spy.

Senate al.S House In Brief.

Washington, Feb 6.-Saturday was
another day of expansion oratory in the
senate. In the open session the speak
ers were Chiffon of Texas and Wolcott
Of Colorado. Chiffon opposed expansion
and Wolcott made a plea for the rati-
fication of the treaty. In executive ses-
sion all attempts to fix n time to vote
on the declaratOry resolutions were de-
feated by the opponents of the treaty
by parliamentary tactics. Allen of Ne
braSka offered resolution declaring
our policy regarding Porto Rico and the
Philippines to be the same as regarding
Cuba.

Washington, Feb. En- executive
session this afternoon the senate of
the United States ratified the peace
treaty, 63 votes being recorded in its
favor. or three more than the number
required.
Much anxiety was felt during the
day as to what the outcome of the
vote would be. The matter of ratiii-
cation or rejection seemed to depend
on several doubtful votes, among
them being Jones and Stewart. of Ne
vada and McEnery and McLaurin.
1t was thought the battle of Saturday
night at Manila would influence
some wavering ones. but Rawlins and
Turner insisted that it would have no
effect on them and that they would
vote against it. The fact that state
troops were engaged was also figured
as a factor. After a short speech by
German the senate went into eXecu-
tive session for final consideration of
the treaty. 1t was learned at this
time that Jones of Nevada and
Heitlield were surely against
it and that McLaurin would
vote for ratification. The vote on
the amendment lost that measure, the
treaty being ratified on the next vote
10y total of 63.
The department this afternoon re-
ceived n message from Gen. Otis stat
ing that "A total of 10 were killed in the
battle of Saturday night.
The sundry civil appropriation bill,
completed this noon by the house
committee on appropriations, carries
$50, 900. 900 Ito carry out the obliga-
tions of the treaty between the United
States and Spain" Outside of this the
bill appropriates S43. 100000.
