California Legislature Appoints
Committee TO Ascertain Whether
Green Is As Ill As He Pretends
to Be-New Anti-Quay Candidate
Appears In Pennsylvania.

Sacramento, Cal. Feb. THE Re
publican vote for United States sena-
tor today was the same as it has been
for the last three weeks. The Demo-
cratic complimentary vote went to
Colonel James F. Smith, commander of
the First California regiment, at pres
ent fighting at Manila.
The vote was as follows: Barnes. 10;

Mailton ]. Green, Grants political
manager, who refused to say in which
legislative districts he had spent
Grants money during the last cam
paign, when asked by the special in
vestigating committee. was to have
been brought before the bar of the
assembly to show cause why he should
not be punished for contempt Instead
a physicians certificate was read in
which it was shown that Green is still
too i'll to appear. A communication
from Green was presented to the as
sembly, however. in which Green said
that he had never at any time, given
any contribution of any kind to influ-
ence any vote for the senatOrship. He
referred to the fact that the committee
reported lndI lnere was no llleSlllnldIe
expenditure of money and that his re-
port had been adopted. Should he at
this time answer the question pro-
pounded to him, it would serve no good
purpose and would be diVulging conf
Dental communications.
CrOwder, a Grant supporter, sent up
written resolution, referring to the
statement by Green. declaring it TO be
reasonable and calling for the dismissal
of the contempt proceedings against
Green and for the dismissal of the COM
mittee on investigation.
The house was divided and the mat
ter of the dismissal of Green voted
down. A second resolution was intro
duced, calling for the punishment of
Green for contempt and requiring his
imprisonment in the Sacramento county
Jail. This resolution was not adopted,
it being urged that Green is too Ill to
be sent to Jail. The speaker was au-
thorized to employ three physicians and
appoint three members of the assem-
bly, TO inquire into Green's actual con-
dition. If it be found that Green is
not so i'll as has been reported, he will
in all probability be imprisoned. The
matter has been postponed until next
Friday, when Green, unless he be a
very i'll man, will be dealt with
Grants forces are doing everything in
their power to have the whole affair
dismissed

PLANS OF INSURGENTS.
Will Take to the Mountains and Con-
tiQue War

London, Feb. THE president of the
European Filipino junta, in an inter-
view with a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press today, said:
1T is perfectly clear that the unfor-
tunate hostilities at Manila were occa-
stoned by an attempt of the Nebras-
kans to find a pretext to obtain control
OF the Singalon waterworkS. The
Americans for months have endeavored
fruitlessly to induce the Filipinos to
withdraw from those works, as the lat
ter fully recognized their immense
strategic Importance. By the destruc-
ton of the villages between the sea
and the river banks, the Americans Sc
cured a vast open space, from which
Manila might otherwise have been at
tackled under cover.
The Americans have captured the
Waterworks and the F'ilipinoS Will now
have to retire to the mountains of San
Mateo and Boze-Boze, which, as they
are only an hours distance, command
the capital, and it will be impossible to
dislodge them from there.
The whole Filipino strength will
now be devoted to the protection Of the
country outside of Manila, as Aguinaldo
is aware that, even if he captured the
city, he could not hold il, with Amer
lean warships in the bay.
THE Americans Will also have TO de-
pend for their food supply on ship
ments from abroad. as the insurgents
will effectually cut off the supplies from
the interior"
The Filipino agent concluded with as
sorting that Agoncillo. AguinaldOs
agent in America, and the junta, had
advised AguinaldO not to
hostilities, but, he added, the
regarded the landing of the
of the Americans as a
threat. and this. added to the proc
lamation Of General Otis, refusing p0lit-
zeal rights to the natives and inaugu-
rating a military regime, had strained
native opinion TO the breaking point.

GENERAL OTIS LEGAL STATUS.
Has Right to Restore Order In the
Islands.

Washington, Feb. THE authorities
of the state and war department were
in consultation today on the legal sta
tus of General Otis in view of the pro-
tocol, which binds the American forces
to maintain the status quo in the Phil
ippines until after the ratification of
the treaty by Spain and the United
States.
The fact that the treaty must be rat
flied by both parties to the contract
was mOmentarily lost sight of by many
persons yesterday in the first flush of
excitement over its ratification by the
senate, and it was commonly remarked
by army officers and others in the de-
partment that the Philippines, now
being American territory" General
Otis was at liberty to handle the Fill
pinos as he would an Indian outbreak.
The fact, however, is that the Philip
pines do not become American territory
until after the treaty has been ratified
by the Spanish cortes. 1t was said at
the state department today that while
the Americans are still bound by the
protocol. there is nothing in that docu-
ment to prevent the American COM
mander from maintaining order IL the
islands and he. in fact compelled by
the terms of the protocol to do so. In
carrying out this obligation. he is not
confined to Manila, but may extend his

CoMMENT AT MADRID.
Spaniards Enjoy the Predicament of
the Americans.

London, Feb. THE Madrid CORE
spondent of the Standard says: All
the Madrid papers comment upon the
events at Manila in a tone unfriendly
TO the United States. The impartial
says that President Mckinley must
either abandon the enterprise or cover
himself with ridicule or undertake a
war in the Philippines, and thus pay
fer all the iniquity committed against
Spain.
The papers recommend the govern
mealt to hasten the evacuation Of Ma
Mia, and not to spare any effort to OBJ
tain the liberation of the Spanish pris-
Oners, thus averting complications and
leaving the Americans and Tagals
alone in their present difficulty"

Mr.. Pettigrew objected to this and

BRAVERY OF OUR SOLDIERS.
General Miles Glowing Tribute to
American Troops.

washington, Feb. Major General
Nelson A. Miles pays a glowing tribute
to the valor of the American soldier in
the fight at Manila.
The American soldiers have again
met with remarkable success, just as
they have all through the war" he
said. This last conflict and its glor-
iOus results is but another testimonial
to the courage, patriotism and gallan-
try OF our soldiers. They respond
nobIy to a call to duty and acquit
themselves with honor.
"All reports show that officers and
men distinguished themselves by their
GOODNESS and true American fortitude
under fire. The herOism adds to the
fame of our army.
L feel quite certain that the conflict
Will have a Statutory effect upon the
insurgents, and will doubtless discour-
age them from renewing hostilities."

General Miller has been for weeks

his ability to take the place whenever
he got the word, but there has been a
restraining influence from Washington,
based in part on the hope that the in
surgents could be brought to a peaceful
retirement from the town, and an ap-
prehension that an effort to force a
landing might result in serious injury
to foreign interests. Now, however, it
