Washington, Feb. 1.-THE memory Of
the late Representative Dingley was
fittingly eulogized in the house of rep
resentatives to-day by those who had
been closely associated with him. The
early part of the day was given to some
minor routine work and the eulogies,

from both sides of the house.
In the house the bill to provide for
acquiring of rights of way by railroad
companies through Indian reservations

The bill finally went over. In report

A DIFFERENT TONE.
Germany VIII Probably Ask for Another
Convention.

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE sudden
change in the attitude of the German
government respecting the recent COM
plications at Samoa, reported in the press
dispatches is attributed here to the fact
that Ambassador White within the past
day or two has been able to deliver the
German foreign office the formal presen-
tation of the American case While dig
nifed in tone, it was a good deal more
energetic in remonstrance against the
conduct of the German officials at Samoa
than Mr.. White had given expression to-,
or, perhaps, conceived.
But. inasmuch as every claim of our
government has been based on a strict
adherence to the lines of the treaty of
Berlin, the German government has
found itself under the necessity of mov-
ing to secure an amendment to that con-
vention in the line of its desires accord
ing to the usual methods of diplomacy
The United States and British govern
ments doubtless will give ready response
to any invitation on the part of the Ger
man government for another conference,
providing there is an understanding in adj
vance of the objects to be attained.

FAVoRABLY REPORTED.
But the Arid Land Reservoir Bills Stand
Little Show.

Special Dispatch to the Standard
Washington, Feb Ex-senator War
rem made favorable report this after
noon from the committee on irrigation
and reclamation of arid lands on his
proposition directing the secretary of
war to cause preliminary surveys to be
made of one or more reservoir sites In
each arid and semi-arid state and re-
port upon the cost, practicabilty and
desirability of constructing reservoirs
and other works necessary for the stor-
age and utilization of water to prevent
floods, overf1ows and erosion of river
banks and levees, for the REINFORCE
ment of the flow of streams and rising
water line therein during drought and
low water and to utilize the water so
stored where practicable for irrigation,
mining or domestic purposes. This car
ries an appropriation OF 100000 and is
intended as an amendmet to the river
and harbor bill
Senator Warren also favorablv re-
ported from the SANG committee the
Carter bill. appropriating 100000 for
reservoirs for irrigation purposes in the
arid land states 1t is not probable that
either of these propositions can become
law at this session. The best the appro-
priations committee can possibly do is
to recommend one reservoir in Colo
RADIO and one in wyoming, and even
these are not certain of adoption.

American Plans Were Executed without
Hitch.
London Feb. IA dispatch to Reuters
Telegram company from Manila, describ-
ing the capture of Caloocan, dwells upon
the excellence of the American plans and
the precision with which they were carried
out. The dispatch adds:
AT 4 a. m. the American ships ceased
firing, then the army fireu three guns at
an interval of 10 seconds signaling an
advance of the whole line, the Kansas
regiment leading through the jungle. The
rebels left wing was diverted by Major
Bell and 100 men. 1t was like elockwork
There was no hitch anywhere. The rebels
estimated to have numbered 10000 men,
were demoralzed by the shells. The
Americans advanced in open order. AT
800 yards there was a halt and then
charge and the rebels stampeded from the
trenches which were admirably construct
ed. The Americans refrained from vast
ing ammunition but rushed on without
firing and used bayonets and butts of ri
fies. There was heavy slaughter. The
railroad is practically uninjured. To-day
the ships are Smelling beyond Caloocan
The Americans will probably reach Mala-
bon to-day and Malolos in fortnight"

ernor Chandler.
Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 11.-A telephone
message tonight from Leesburg, in the
southern part of the state, says a mob
took Cupid Redding and two unknown
negroes from the Jail there tonight and
lynched them. The prisoners were de-
hvered after short parley with the
sheriff and the mob entered the hail.
The negroes were secured, and accord
ing to the telephone advices the mob
started for the woods with them
Governor Gambler tonight ordered a
company of state militia from Albany
to Leesburg to prevent, if possible the
lynching of negro at the latter place,
1t was reported to the sheriff of Lee
county that party of lynchers would
take the regular night train at Smith
Vile and come to Leesburg for the pur-
pose of lynching the negro The gov
ernor was not informed of the znegro's
name, but was told that he had been
arrested and Jailed at Leesburg during
the afternoon. The black men lynched
are believed to have been concerned in
the outrage of a Mrs. Maroney, which
was one of the most atrocious crimes of
the century. In December the house of
John Maroney, school teacher, was
entered by Cunid Redding and two
companions. The leader of the black
trio ordered Mrs. Maroney to tie her
husbands hands behind his back, after
which they bound him to a bed The
negroes then ransacked the house, and
having completed this part of their
work, Redding outraged Mrs. Maroney
in spite of her helpless and infuriated
husband. The negroes escaped and al
though the state had offered heavy re-
wards, Redding was not captured UNI
til this afternoon. His two accom-

known, were arrested 10 days ago.
Leesburg has no night operator and in
formation by telegraph is unobtain-
able.

SAMPSON AND SCHLEY.
Secretary Long Sends an Exhaustive Re-
port to the Senate.

port to the Senate.
Washington, Feb. 11.--Seeretary Long
has sent to the senate an exhaustive re-
port in reply to the resolution recently
passed by that body calling upon the
navy department for all records in its
possession upon which the nominations
of Admirals Sampson and Schley to
their present grades were based. This
resolution was passed in executive ses-
sion. Secretary Long goes into the ma
val history of the Spanish war at great
length, citing orders. movements and all
the details which preceded the battle of
July 3. In summing up the facts and
citing the reasons for the advancement
of Schley and Sampson. he says:
1.-THE advancement of Admiral Samp-
son was proposed in recognition of his
services in the execution of his duties
as commander in chief of all our ships
engaged in the campaign and the West
Indies; for the supervision of all its
details, wherever distributed; for the
blockade of the island of Cuba; for the
conveying and landing of the army and
cooperation with its movements, and
for the pursuit, blockade and destruc-
tion of the Spanish fleet, which destruc-
ton on the Sd of July by our fleet un-
der his command was the consumma-
ton of his orders and preparations be-
ginning on the 1st day OF June. In this
connection, the dispatch of Commo-
dore Schley, dated July 10, is peril
nent factor. The advancement of
Commodore Schley was proposed in
recognition of his services as next in
rank at the victory of Santiago.
Where so much was achieved in this
eliminating battle and where his ships
were a conspicuous force in the fight,
his conduct, while Independent in COM
mand prior to June l. the report of
which is given above, and which by
reason of this unsteadiness in purpose
and failure to obey orders, did not
meet the approval of the president, the
department was not yet permitted to
stand in the way of his nomination
for promotion to a higher grade for
part he took in that final triumph. In

EARLY SUBMISSION.
Agninaldo Cannot Retain His Leadership
of the Insurgents.

Washington, Feb. 11.-General Otis had
another victory to record this morning,
and, though the action before Caloocan
did not result in as heavy q loss to the
American side as the battle of last Sat
urday night and Sunday morning. 1t is
believed to have quite as important re-
suits. Caioocan is on the line of the rail-
road connecting Manila with Malolos the
insurgent capital, and 1t may be that the
capture of the first-named town will make
1t possible to advance rapidly by rail
upon the insurgent headquarters If it
shall be deemed necessary to force the
fighting and undertake the capture of
Aguinaldo

day by General Otis quotation of the

Charleston began dropping shells into the
rebel camp between Caloocan and Mala-
bon. The enemys sharpshooters in the
jungle on the American left had been par
ticularly annoying since daylight so the
Sd artillery drove the rebels out of the
jungle at noon. In the meantime a few
more of our men were wounded. The loss
of the enemy is estimated at fully so kill
ed and wounded to one American killed
or wounded.

many more of our men than did Filipino
bullets, especially in the lands north of
Malabon, where the Kansas regiment was
stationed. Fully a score were taken to
the hospital. The railroad is now open
to Caloocan and supplies for troops are
being forwarded by rail.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS.
Otis Has Gained Control of the Railroad
Rolling Stock.


Manila, Feb. II, 1l:55 a. m.-The follow
ing additional particulars regarding the
capture of Caloocan have been obtained:
insurgents had been concentrating for
days at Caloocan, and Otis. the American
commander, determined to attack them.
He instructed his commanders accord
ingly and requested the assistance of the
naval forces under command of Dewey.
Major General Macarthur reported all
was ready and at 8 o'clock he received
the following message:
Commanding general orders you to go
ahead with programme. BARRY"
The attack began Immediately The
monitor Monadnock and cruiser Charles
ton shelled Calooean and the country
north of 1t for half an hour. MacArthur's
artillery also did effective work from
hill in the rear.
Brigadier General Harrison q. Otis with
his brigade, consisting of the Kansas regi-
ment, Montana regiment and Sd artillery
regulars, acting as infantry. advanced
handsomely, pushing forward in the face
of Filipino bullets as cheerfully as ii they
had been snowhalls The enemy was ut
terly routed and fled to the mountains.
At o'clock cease firing and recall
We're sounded. Troops were then well
through Caloocan and north of it. Mac
Arthur established his left at Caloocan
and strengthened his lines for the night.
By the capture of Caloocan control of
much of the rolling stock of the Manila
Dagupan railroad was obtained. The city
is now quieter and business Is better than
at any time since the outbreak of hostili-
ties.
The American loss yesterday was three
Killed and 50 wounded. Among the wound

1t is understood. to the effect that Aguin-
aldo no longer has the power to keep

points to an early submission of the i'm
surgents to the American government.
None will be allowed to come into Ma
Mia until they have laid down their
arms for good As for AguinaIdo, 1t is
now believed that he will refuse to the
last to make terms that would meet with
the approval of General Otis. and that

will make his escape to the continent
