row escape from defeat in the Senate
Yesterday on the bill authorizing the
cession of the Philippines to the United
States. The measure was passed, hut
the government mad q majority of only
two, the vote being 100 TO us. The
opposition group in the Senate combln-
cd to defeat tne government, not on the
main substance of the bill, which they
knew was inevitable, but on an amend
ment to the preamble censuring the
cabinet. Some of the members abstain
ed from voting, including General Wey-
Ter and the Cuban and Porto Rican
Senators.
After the session of the Cortes Prime
Minister Ssgasta convoked the cabinet
and it was decided, in view of the nar'
row majority of the government, to lay
the situasion before the Queen Regent
in council There are many coniectures
regarding the future action Of the gov.
ernment, but nothing will certainl y be
known unit! after the holding OF the
council. 1t is likely that Senior Sagasta
will obtain 9 decree dissolviug the
Cortes. The opposition is very strong
the Silvelists, Gamazists, and Tetuan-
lists having united.

former remarked: You have, general,

Gen. Gomez made no reply, but Senior
Sanguily's statement became noised
about the city and caused great SEN
sation. Senior Sanguily is a brother of
the Cuban General, Julio Sanguily. He
was colonel in the ten years war. He
is conspicuous among Cuban orators,
and enjoys wide reputation for
honesty and responsibility. His words
fell like q bombshell. The officers of

Senior Sanguily to fight a duel.

OF ALL the conspicuous "gumps"
of this or any other age, the iasurgent
Cubans and Filipinos are the most
