Washington, Feb. 1o.-For reasons

pect the attempt to land troops at

lief that thev will be less ready to try

of n cable across the Pacific.

Vancouver. y. c., Feb 10. - Hong
Kong mail advices describe the situa-
tion at IloiIo. when it was frs; TX
pected that General Miller's troops
would be landed as follows: For days
armed natives have been coming into
town in 4 steady stream. and fully 1000
soldiers. armed with Remingtons and
Mausers. have taken possession of the
church and government buildings. Off
GERS are scurrying about on ponies. am
munition is being brought in from
Malo. and an apparently stout resistance
is being provided for any landing at
tempted by the Americans.
Stores ard banks are closed; the
excitement is intense. Outside of the
city are nearly 10000 mixed natives
armed with knives and spears: they
are anxious to be allowed in the city
In Negros. a nearby island, it is re-
ported that some 10000 men are in
arms awaiting the call. Several schoon-
ers loaded with men are daily entering
the river. They are not being inter
rupted. Day and night preparations
continue for lively resistance. Every
hour of delay is made to account in
throwing up works and barricading
streets. 1t is threatened that if ta-
F'ilipinos should meet with defeat the
town Will be burned.
The transport Francisco Reyes came
in on the eth inst. with $50 Filipino SOL
diers. who were allowed to land with
out interference. Altogether 1.5OO SOL
diers have been landed in this manner
and this is not counting the hundreds
that have come from other islands on
schooners and small boats. Fully $500
men with rifles are in the city. The
Spanish gunboat Ell Cano is still lying
just OFF the fort. and it was reported

ARMY REoRGANIzArIoN MUST PASS.
So 1t Is Said the President HoIds-Extra
Session. IL Necessary.

Session. IL Necessary.
Washington. Feb. 10.-The Post says:
The army reorganization bill must
pass or the president will call an extra
session of congress. The opposition to
the bill in the senate has already been
frequently referred to in The Post and
the prediction made that some compro-
mise would he agreed upon whereby leg
isIation of a temporary character would
be placed upon the army appropriation
bill. This will not satisfy the admins
tration. No nakeshift eXpedient Will be
accepted. The president has determined
that the passage Of the army bill shall
be made an issue and there is no doubt
in administration circles that he will
be successful If. however. any obsta-
cIes should prevent action an extra ses-
sion will surely be held.
The conditions which have arisen
leave no other course to be pursued by
the president. a decision was yesterday
rendered by the attorney general to the
effect that as soon as the ratifica tions
of the peace treaty are exchanged the
volunteer soldiers can no longer be re-
tanned in service. This is also true. the
attorney general holds. of the additional
regulars who were enlisted for the war
with Spain. Consequently without the
desired legislation the president will find
himself with an army reduced from 65,-
eco to 25 900 men"

New Outgo Means Issue of Bonds.
Grosvenor. Hepburn of Iowa and w
a. Smith Of Michigan, although they
die not enter into any lengthy discus
sion, took issue with Cannon, but he
maintained that our revenues might be
sufficient to meet our expenditures for
the next two years if 10 new lines of ex-
penditures were entered upon. He indi-
Gated that il would be n close margin
and that new expenditures might mean
a bond issue. Cannon's speech was in
every way notable one. and doubtless
will furnish the text for a good deal of
discussion during the remainder of the
