IN REGULAR MEASURE.
$50, 100000 for Spain to BE Inserted in
SundFy Civil Bill.

Sundry Civil Bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. THE payment of
S2O,O00000 to Spain under the terms of the
peace treaty is beginning to receive atten-
1ion from members of the House commit
tee on appropriations, and it is likely that
the amount will be carried in one of the
regular appropriation bills probably the
sundry civil. Chairman Cannon says, how
ever, that the question had not been for
mally considered yet, as there had been no
estimate submitted and no official infor-
mation on the requirements of the case.
Moreover there is no desire to anticipate
action on the treaty, and until it is ratified
the House is hardly in a position to carry
out this provision as to payment. In the
event of ratification however, speedy ac-
fon will be necessary. The treaty provides
that the payment shall be made within
three months after the exchange of ratifi-
cation" and another provision requires the
exchange of Publications within six months
from the date the treaty was signed, name
~, Dee. 10 last This would bring the pay
ment before the next session of Congress,
SO that the appropriation must be made ut
the present session. Owing to the short
time elapSing after the Senate acts on the
treaty, and the close of the present session.
1t IS felt that little time will remain to deal
with matter Of this magnitude. There
has been some talk of dealing with the pay
ment in q special appropriation bill, but
this is not feasible as a special bill has no
privilege under the rules and is easily open
to distractions. whereas the general appro-
priation bills carry unusual privileges and
are almost certain to pass before the ses-
sion ends. For this reason it is probable
the payment will be placed in the sundry
civil or some other general appropriation
hill. if the provision is retained in the
treaty as ratified. The appropriation COM
mittee has not determined what apprOpria-
tion bin to take up next. 1t will be either
the sundry civil or the fertilization bill.
but, in any event, action on the Spanish
item is likely 10 be deferred until action on
the treaty is secured.

CANNED MEATS NUTRITIOUS.
Statement from Prof. Atyvater, a
Prominent Food Expert.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Tn view of the
recent statements regarding the nutritive
value of American canned meats, tending
to injure foreign and domestic trade in these
goods, Secretary Wilson has called for and
received from the director of the office of
experiment stations a statement of the con-
illusions of scientific experts on this matter
This statement says the high nutritive
value of American canned meats has been
established repeatedly By thorough and inn
partial tests conducted By scientific experts.
It quotes a communication to the depart
ment from DR.. w. o. Atwater, professor

of chemistry at Wesleyan University. Md
dletown, Conn. and a well-known food eX-
pert, who says of the canned meats: They
are really cooked meats Invested of the in
edible bones and gTistle found in fresh
meats. In the cooking and canning, which
is of the nature of boiling rather than roast
ing. water is expelled, but the amount OF
nutritive material removed is very small.
Pound for pound the canned meat has a
higher nutritive value than the fresh meat.
The statements further say; Cans imper-
fectly handled in process are easily detected.
and their average is only one-fourth of /
per cent. In the great stock yards in Chi
cago Kansas City and elsewhere, where
nearly all of the canned meat is put up. all
the meat is inspected on the hoOf and at
the time of slaughtering by government ex-
and without whose examination not an ami
NAL is killed, and no shipment of bad meat
can be made without violation of govern
ment regulations. This is the guarantee for
the quality of the meat, whether fresh or
canned"

STILL CRITICAL
But General Otis Has the Matter Well in
Hand.

Hand.
Manila, Jan. 13-The situation here is
Undoubtedly critical, but Major General
Otis has it we'll in hand and there is no
such certainty of trouble as many be-
lleVe. The rebels are concentrated on
the outskirts of the town and their
leaders have issued strict orders that
they shall act only on the defensive. An
accident might precipitate trouble, but
the idea Of a rebel attack upon Manila
is ridiculous. as the Americans control
the position.
Aguinaldo has republished the second
manifesto in reply to the proclamation
OF General Otis, which was recalled on
It's first appearance, but it has proved
Intellectual.
On Wednesday a false alarm, due to
trivial incidents, occurring simultane-
ously in opposite parts of the city, led
to general call to the United States
forces. In Is minutes the entire city was
covered. The promptitude of the Amer
acans, while it created scare for a
moment, effectually restored confidence
throughout Manila and dispelled the ex-
cltement due to a passing fear on the
part of the citizens that an outbreak
was imminent. 1t is possible that the
Filipinos, after the diplomatic confer
ences that have been held between the
representatives of General Otis and
Aguinaldo have finally come to under
stand that the cautious and conserva-
tive policy of the Americans is not due
TO fear and they may accept the newt
able with good grace. 1t is evident that
at present they are unable to appre-
clate the full meaning of the independ-
ence demanded and when they do un-
derstand its extent the American prop
oslt1on Will be acceptable.

idea that Santiago was devoid of food
and the spaniards surrendered because
they were starving, he said, was not
true.
Asked as to the congested state of
affairs at Tampa, prior to the embarka-
tlon Of the Shafter expedition, he said
there was no cause for complaint. The
expedition had acted on urgent orders
to embark hastily. had loaded on a
long. narrow wharf and there was. Of
course, considerable congestion, COM
planning and swearing, but the same
conditions have been encountered any
where. The campaign, he thought,
should be judged only by what the
United States forces did. General
Wood said there was no complaint
made of the conditions during the cam
paign from anybody who amounted to
anything; certainly none from the old
soldiers. General Wood said that in all
his services he had been absolutely sup
ported by his superior officers.

very active. and it is said tonight that
several men who are voting for Clark
have entered into a solemn agreement
to vote for Toole the moment he ap-
pears to stand a show of election. The
Clarkites are also very active and
bringing every possible pressure to
bear to break up the Toole contingent.
Clark expects to gain at least two
more tomorrow, but he may be disap-
pointed just as he was to-day. The
impression seems to prevail at present
that long fight is in prospect.
