American Women I'm Havana Arranging
Memorial Anniversary.

Havana, Jan. 25.-Seventy-five Amer
lean women met here to-day to arrange
for memorial of the anniversary of
the destruction of the battleship Maine.
Mrs Estes G. Rathbone, presided, and
letter from Captain Sigsbee was read
suggesting as features of the pro-
gramme prayer, singing and if desired,
addresses by one or two prominent per-
sons and volley fired over the graves
by a battalion of marines from the
United States battleship Texas. Cap
tain Sigsbee wrote that he had granted
the request of a deputation of sailors
and marines to be allowed to decorate
the graves The other suggestions were
acted upon and the preparation of the
programme was deferred. The aues-
tion whether the Cubans and Spaniards
should be allowed to participate caused
lively discussion. The general wish
was to have it exclusively an American
memorial, but it was decided in order
to avoid giving offense to issue an invi-
tation to representative Cubans and
Spaniards.

rested to-day on the complaint of the r.
L. williams company, charging him
with obtaining money under false pre-

note and secured his friends endorse
ment on the condition that he would
surrender other notes upon which the

and pay the deficit in cash. Barbour
claimed that the notes in question were
in his safe and agreed to send them
over to his friend the next day AS he
did not do so the endorser commenced
an investigation and found that Bar
bour had not discounted the last note
for cash at a bank, but had secured
the money on all the others in various
parts of the city. After the arrest Bar
bour telegraphed his brother at North
Adams, who reached Malone yesterday.
The defendant admits the charge, and
the Judge fixed the bail at $4,000. His

HEALTH OF TROOPS At MANILA.
No News of Rapid increase of Smallpox
at War Department.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Inquiry made
at the war department into the reports
of the rapid increase in the number Of
smallpox cases among the soldiers at
Manila, elicits the assurance that the
sick reports sent about twice a week
by General Otis exhibit the full extent
of the disease as far as officials them
selves know. An interesting report up
on existing conditions Of the soldiers
in the interior of the island of Luzon
has reached the department through
two young naval officers, one of them
Paymaster Wilcox, who made trip
afoot and in boats clear across the
greatest length of the island. They
found the obstacles to progress even on
foot almost beyond belief and it re-
quired two months for them to make
the trip. They have a good deal to say
incidentally upon the political situation
and assert that the Spanish in the in
terror have poisoned the minds of the
natives against the Americans.

finds remarkably small number of

EXCITEMENT IN THE HOUSE
MIR. JOHNSON ATT4CKS EXPANSION
and THE PRESIDENT.
Mckinley Denounced as the SIavish
Follower of Public Opinion Warned
That Tide VIII Recede and That He
VIII be Rebuked-DOliiver Champions
prpafNent
the President.

| Washington, Jan. 25.--Not since the
stirring days before the declaration of
war last spring has the house witnessed
such excitement and such scenes of un-
| bounded enthusiasm as occurred to-day
when two republicans, Mr.. Johnson and
Mr.. Dolliver locked horns on the ques-
tion of expansion. The army bill, which
was under debate, was swallowed up
| the broader question of the national
policy, and the debate was lifted from
| the dead level of mediocrity into abso-
Lutte brilliancy. Mr.. Johnson secured
time from the democratic side to at
tack the position of the administration.
1t was not the first time he had broken
away from his party on public ques-
tlons. On past occasions he had won q
reputation as a master of invective and
the announcement that he was to speak
had attracted an enormous crowd in
the galleries. To-day he added to his
reputation.
With satire, irony and wit the keen
thrusts of his logic were driven home.
His words flowed from him in a per-
feet torrent He denounced the propo-
sition to annex the Philippines as sub
versive of every tradition dear to the
American heart in the. past and in the
Inauguration of policy that would
end in the downfall of the republic. He
said that the ratification of the treaty
by the senate would sound the death
knell of all the efforts of those who
were trying to prevent the country
from pushing on to suicide, and declar-
ed that If he were a senator he would
rot in his seat before it should be rat
flied. He denounced the president as
the slavish follower of public opinion,
but warned him that the tide would re-
cede and the voice of the people would
ntime rebuke him. Members stood in
the aisles ten deep while he was speak
ing, but he tried to stop the applause
which continuously broke out from the
democratic side. For almost two hours
his words poured forth
When he had finished Mr. Dolliver
came to the defense of the administra-
tion. One of the ablest debators and
perhaps the most eloquent of the house.
his reply set the republicans wild with
enthusiasm. lie described how the
president had been fairly driven into
war by those who now sought to en-
barrass him before peace was definitely
obtained, and his eulogy of the pres-
dent patiently meeting all the perplex-
ing problems which beset him as the
great events of the last year moved on
aroused his side and the galleries to en-
thusiastic cheers Mr. Dolliver said he
had heard the president of the United
States insulted twice on the floor Of
the house, once last season by mem
ber from the presidents own state, Mr.
Lentz To-day he had heard another
insult when the gentleman from Indi-
ana asserted that the president slavish-
1y followed public opinion.

testified that the ship brokers signed

that the contract stipulated that they

said the check beat the records In GO
