GRADE OF YICE ADMIRAL

Likely to be Revived, and the Presi-
dent Indicates That in Case This
Is Done Both Sampson and schley
VIII be Advanced to That Rank.
NEW YoRKt Dec s.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says;
president Mckinley, during an In
teryiew with Senator wellington, ex-
pressed himself in favor Of revivlng the
grade Of vice admiral in the interest of
both Rear Admiral Sampson and Rear
Admiral schley. He believes that this
is the simplest solution of the whole
sampson-schley controversy, and 1t is
expected that Senator wellington will
introduce a bill in few days provld-
ing for two vice admirals without spec
flying names.
"The President very frankly said
that Il such bill became a law he
would promptly nominate schley and
Sampson. This arrangement. both the
President and Senator Wellington be-
lieve, will meet the approval of a ma
jorlty of the friends Of both officers.

RECENT OUTBREAK

In Nsgros Result Of False Rumors Of
Insurgent Victories - Agalnaldo's
Retreat Supposed to be Headed OF.
WASHINGTON. Dec. & = General
Gus to-day cabled the war department
In regard 70 tAc uprising IN NegrOs, as
follows:
MANILA. Dec, 8.
Al am informed the outbreak Of ma
lives In the districts OF Ncgros was the
result OF the reported recent great ln-
surgent ylctorles in Luson and Panay,
which the natives believe. The extent
OF the outbreak has not yet been u.s.
certained. Lieut.. A. c, Ledyard, Sixth
infantry, was killed, and two prIvates
were wounded. Lieut., Ledyard was a
son Of Henry d. Ledyard, Of the Miehl-
gan Central Railway, and q nephew OF
General RnggleH, formerly ndlutant
general Of the army, Vie enlisted ~ 2
private In the First Connecticut oItli-
iery, at the outbreak OF the Spanish
war He was transferred into the reg
ular service July 8, 1893, and he was at
Porto Rlcan campaign.
One OF our chief difficulties lrtses
from the circulation Of falsehooas
among the natives DefamRtory arti-
cles OF United States and Europe are
promptly published In Spanish IN San
Francisco, Madrid and by the Hong
Kong iunta, and circulated in the Phil
ipplnes. The insurgents have based all
hopes upon false rumoFs"
A second dispatch from General Otis,
dated Manila, to-day, says:
The hospital ship Relief, Just returned
from Vlgan, bringing two hundred ana
seventy-two sick soldiers and TWO num-
dred and thirty-two Spanish prisoners,
reports several hundred Spanish prise
oners nj Vigan, for which we send a
transport this evening. Colonel Hare,
OF the Thirty third infantry, took Ban

sult of the insurgents, on the road
southeast to LepantO, thence to Bonto-
con, toward which Aguin0ldO and three
hundred insurgents arc supposed to be
retreating with American prisoners, The
Inhabitants OF the western Luzon coast
are friendly. and give assistance"
General Otis also reports the arrival OF
the transport olympia, with the Thirty
ninth infantry, one battalion OF the
Forty.hfth infantry and some recruits.
There were no casualties during the
voynge,,

was bowling for fat money. But specie
payments had been resumed without
disaster despite the Democratic howis.
Since that the country has been on the
gold standard.
Mr.. DalzeIl closed the debate by re-
calling some of the rules under which
the Democrats had forced through i'm
portant bills in the Fifty.second and
Fifty-thlrd Congresses. He referred
particularly to the adoption Of the ooh-
ference report in the Fifty-second Con-
gress upon the tariff bill, which "the
greatest Democrat since Andrew Jack
son, Grover Cleveland (derlslve laugh
ter on the Democratic slde), had pro-
nounced a piece of party Dertidy and
dIshonor."
He described this procedure as a
rape Of all precedents," and cited
other cases where he said gag rule
had been employed.
Mr.. Richardson attempted to reply
to these statements. but Mr. Dalzell
refused to yield. and the special order
was adopted, 1853 to IA. strict party
vote.
Mr.. Robertson (La.l then announced
the death of the late Representative
S. G. Baird. Of louisiana, and after
the adoption Of the customary resolu-
tions. at 1880 p. m. as a further mark
of respect. the house adjourned until

Appointment win be Made by Mid
die Of Next week.

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. S,-GovernoF
Poynter has been called from the cap
ital to Albion by the illness of his
father, and this has caused a slight
break in the fight for the appointment
Of senator to succeed Hayward. The
friends Of both former Senator William
v. Allen and G. NJ. Hitchcock, publish
er Of the Omaha world-Herald, are
busy Organising their forces, however.
The Fusion members OF the last leg.
islature are practically oil unanimous
in urging Aliens appointment, AS
they are practically all Populists and
Governor Poynter is Populist. this is
counted upon to have its effect. The
Democrats nre apparently united on
Hitchcock and are making their strong
est fight on the plea that the Demo-
Gratis have not heretofore received their
share Of offices under the fusion ar
rangement. The governor has an
nounced the appointment would not be
made before the middle OF next week.

THE LODGE RESOLUTION

For Purchase Of the Galapagos Is
lands May Result In Securing a
ooaling Station to the United
States.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator
Lodge called at the state department
to talk with Secretary Hay about his
Galapagos islands resolution. AS to
the basis of his resolution of inquiry, he
said that el! the information he had as
to the reported attempt Of the English
government to secure the islands was
derived from newspaper sources. The
state department itself had no direct
information of any recent movement
looking to the acquisition Of the Is
lands. but win refer the resolution Of
inquiry to United States Minister
Sampson, at Quito, for response.
1t would not be at all surprising, It is
said here. if the ultimate result of the
broaching Of this subject now were the
acquisition OF a coaling station on
these islands by the United States gov
ernment. In fact. the navy depart
ment has within the past year been
making quiet Investigation into the
facilities there existing, with that OBJ
ject in view. Commander Tanner was
dispatched to Galapagoa islands Just
after the conclusion Of the war with
Spain, to make a personal examination
of the conditions existing. He found
that the Ecuadorlan government had
some years ago abandoned Its penal
station on Charles Island, leaving be-
hind large number of domestic ami
mails in a half-wlld state, and these
fiocks had enormously Increased. Only
one Of the half dozen islands was In
hablted, namely. Chatham Island, and
that island had but one InhahItant in
the person of u Mr.. coboss. He was Of
Ecuadorlan birth, but was a natural-
ICED American citizen.
