WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-After a con-
test that will be memorable in the his
tory Of the senate, the compromise
army reorganization bid was passed
Monday evening. When the senate
convened at II a. m. it seemed more
than likely that the bill might not be
passed during the day. Mr.. German
insisted that his amendment providing
that the army should not be increased
permanently, or beyond July /, 1901,
be Incorporated in the measure. For
several hours it appeared probable this
insistence at least would throw the bill
over until today and perhaps defeat it.
An agreement was reached finally,
however, and Mr.. Gorman's amend
ment, in a slightly modified form. was
9ccepted.
Mr. German S amendment is as fol-
lows:
THAT each and every provision of
this act shall continue i'll force until
July l, 1901, and ON and after that date
all the general staff and line officers APP
pointed to the army under this act shall
be discharged and the numbers restored
in each grade to those existing at the
passage of this act, and the enlisted
force of the line Of the army shall be re-
duced to the number as provided for
by law prior to April 1, 1898, exclusive
OF such additions as have been or may
be made under this act to the artil-
lery, and except the cadets provided for
by this act, who may be appointed prior
to July /, 1901, and, provided further.
that no officer who has been or may be
promoted under existing law or under
the rules of seniority shall be restored
III his rank"
The notable speech of the day against
the measure was delivered by Mr.. Vest,
but his brilliant eloquence availed moth
ing against the measure as finally
agreed upon. The 13 who voted against
the bill We're: Bate, Berry, Butler.
Catfery. Chiffon, Clay, Daniel, Hoar,
Martin, Pettigrew, Turley, Vest and
White.
Last night the senate took up the
sundry civil bill and completed its read
ing, all the committee amendments be-
ing agreed to except those relating to
the District of Columbia. The bill was
| then laid aside to be completed today.

BULLETS SKIM THE sANDBAGs.
Rebels Use Retter Aim In volleying the

Rebels Use Retter Aim In Vo1leying the
American Entrenchments.
MANILA, Feb 25.-The enemy's sharp
shooters have been particularly active
about Caloocan all day. Special atten-
ton was paid to the three-gun battery
near the railroad, and the improvement
of the rebel craftsmanship was very
noticeable. The rebels fired volleys at
the battery, their bullets frequently
skimming the tops of the sandbags. A
lieutenant of the Twentieth Kansas vol
unteers and three other men were
slightly wounded. One man was killed
i'll the trenches.
The rebel battery has not been used
since she'll from the monitor Monad-
mock exploded over it yesterday.
The eneny's fire was SO hot during
the night in the vicinity Of the Hig-
gins house that the headquarters was
removed to a church 400 yards inside
the line.
A few small fires have destroyed
several native houses i'll the outskirts
of the city.
The Twentieth infantry is being dis
embarked from the transport Scandia.

Democratic POLICY las to Philippines.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-At a caucus
of the Democratic members of the house
of representatives last night the follow
ing declaration of policy and resolutions
as to the Philippines were adopted:
"Resolved, That the United States
disclaim any disposition or intention to
exercise permanent sovereignty, juris-
diction or control over the Philippine
islands and assert their determination
when an independent government shall
have been erected therein, to transfer to
said government upon terms which
shall be reasonable and just to all rights
secured under the cessation by Spain
and thereupon to leave the government
and control of the islands to their peo.
pie"
The attendance at the caucus was
large and little division of sentiment
was manifested on the general features
OF the resolutions. The speech of Cen
eral Wheeler was notable in differing
from the prevailing view. The hands
of the president should be upheld, he
said, when fighting was going on.

Radziwill's Anti-American Utterances
PARIS, Feb. 27.-So extraordinary are
the utterances attributed to Prince An
tonin Radziwill in the alleged inter-
view with him in the Liberte, especially
in their imputed tone of hostility to-
ward American commerce, that serious
doubts are expressed as to whether the
interview is authentic. Prince Radzi-
will, who is Emperor Williams s repre-
sentative at the Faure funeral, after
declaring that the kaiser professed the
greatest admiration for the grand men,
ories of France, said. "There is another
country against which continental pow
ers should indeed cooperate for the or
ganization of their economic defense. I
mean the United States, whose preten-
sions and wealth are becoming dan
ger for us all.

CUBAN INDEPEN DENCE.
