THIS WEEK IN CONGRESS
Bitterness in inc Senate Brought
 Out Over inc Peace Treaty.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Whatever may be the result of the vote which is to be taken in the senate tomorrow on the ratification of the peace treaty With Spain, the subject of the relations of this country to the Philippines tn doubtedly will be the uppermost topic in the senate during the week.
 The hostile demonstration of the Filipino forces under Aguinaldo rend- CTS this result inevitable. This oc- currence has had the effect intensity ing the feeling in the senate which had grown out of the controversy over the treaty and which was almost at fever heat. On this account. it will be very difficult for the senate to take up other subjects.
 For the present, all interest centers in the outcome of the vote on the treaty. This vote will mark the close of one of the most memorable con tests that ever occurred in the senate

AguiraIdO'S London Representative
 Tells why They Made the Attack

London, Feb. 5.-A representative Of the Associated Press saw the London representative of Aguinaldo this even ing. He did not express surprise at the news from the Philipp ne IslanCs but declared that the FiIipincs at Manila were suspicious of the attitude of the United States and had formed the opinion that it was better to fight before the Americans were reinforced.
 The representative added that Mabini, the head of the Filipino cabi- net and his colleagues were convinced that if the Americans were beaten now, public opinion in the United States would Insist upon the main tenance of Filipino independence"

SHIPS WERE ALL READY
Reports as 10 Deficiency of Powder
 Did Not Apply to Navy

Washington, Feb. 5-It was in ac- cordance with the wishes of President Mckinley that former Minister Wood ford, while in Madrid, exhausted the arts of peace until preparations could be made for war. The president, rea- lizing the condition of the army, es- pecially pleaded for delay from con- greSs, while the secretary of war and the secretary of the navy made every effort to put their respective services in condition to meet the test of battle But if Minister Woodford stated he was informed there was not in American ships or in ordnance depots two rounds of powder per gun at that time, he must have referred to the army and not to the navy.
 If MT. Woodford received such in formation on February 18,' said Cap tain Charles O'Neil, chief of the naval bureau of ordnance, This information, so far as it concerns the navy, was in- correct. The magazines of all the ships of the service were practically full of ammunition. The navy depart ment had for some time before the war felt that hostilities were impend- ing and had taken measures to keep the ships well supplied with powder and prCjectiles.''
 In his annual report Secretary Long stated that immediately after the destruction of the Maine command ers-in-chief of stations were ordered to husband ammunition"
 Captain O'Neil is under the impress sion that the cargo shipped by special train was carried to Manila by the City Of Pekin, which left for the Phil ippines the latter part of May. The Charleston also carried ammunition to Rear Admiral Dewey's squadron.

FULL REPORT FROM OTIS
Says Insurgents Were Driven Back
 and American Troops Did Nob.y.

Washington, Feb. G., 12:15 a. m.- The following dispatch from General Otis has been made public:
 Manila, Feb. 5.-Adjutant General, Washington: On the evening of the fifth of February the insurgents opened an attack on our outer lines at S:45 and repeated the attack several times dur ing the night. At four o'clock this morning their entire force was en- gagged. All their attacks were re- troops advanced against the insur- gents and have driven them beyond the lines they formerly occupied, cap turing several villages and their de- fense works.
 ''The insurgents loss in dead and wounded is large. Our own causuali- ties thus far are estimate at 175, very few fatal.
 s'The troops are enthusiastic and acting fearIessly The navy did splendid execution on the Hanks of the enemy.
 ''The city has been held in check and absolute quiet prevails. The in have secured a good many Mauser rifles, a few field pieces and some quick firing guns with ammuni- tion the last month.

ods of instruction and the teaching of
 English. It is believed by Gen. Henry that the ignorance of the masses in Porto Rico is due not so much to the character of the schools under Spanish dominion, as to the fact that, although attendance is obligatory, the law was not uniformly enforced. Gen. Henry says there is so much poverty among the lower classes, added to climatic and racial causes, that little disposi- tion is shown among the adults to work. Hence children from an early age are made to labor, especially in the country, where the educational aG- vantages are usually the rarest and poorest

Considering a Plan to Increase the Tax
 On Mining Corporations.
 Detroit, Mich, Feb. 5.-Gov. Pingree is contemplating a campaign against the copper mining interests of the up per peninsula. For years he has raile1 against the big earnings of the Cal umet and Hecla and other copper mines and the comparatively small taxes paid by these corporations. Now tho governor is considering a bill pro- viding that the great copper mining companies pay to the state a tax on the market value of their stock At present the companies pay only a smcll county tax.
 It is estimated that should the bll pass, the Calumet and Hecla would pay ten times as much taxes as it does now, and all other companies would pay ip proportion.

Manila, Feb ,, S:15 D. m-The long expected rupture between the Amerf- cans and Filipinos has come at last. The former are now engaged in solv- ing the Philippine problem with the utmost expedition possible.
 The clash came at $40 D. m. yester- day evening when tn. ee daring Fili- pinOs darted past the sentineIs of the Nebraska regiment at Santa Mesa. but retired when challenged. They re- peated the experiment without draw ing the sentries' fire, but at the third attempt Corporal Greedy challenged the Filipinos and then fired, killing one of them and wounding another.
 Almost immediately afterward the Filipincs line from Calvocan to Santa Mesa commenced a fusiIade which was ineffective The Nebraska, Montana and North Dakota outposts replied viz orously and held their ground until endorsements arrived
 The Filipinos in the meantime con centrated at three points, Calyocan, Gagalgingin and Santa Mesa. About 1 o'clock a. m. the Filipinos opened a hot fire from all three places, simulta- neOusly. This was supplemented by the fire of two siege guns at Balik- Balik and by advancing their skir- mishers from Pacoa and Pandacan.
 THE AMERICANS RESPOND.
 The Americans responded with ter rife fire, but owing to the darkness they were unable to determine it's eff feet.
 The Utah light artillery finally sue ceeded in silencing the native Battery. l The Third artillery also did good work | on the extreme left. The engagement i lasted over an hour.
 The United States cruiser Charleston and gunboat Concord, stationed off Ma labona opened fire from their second ary batteries on the Filipinos' position at Calvocan and kept it up vigorously
 At 2:45 there was another fusilade along the entire line and the United States sea-going double turreted mon itor Mcnadnock opened fire on the en- emy from off Malate
 ADVANCED AT DAYLIGHT.
 With daylight the Ame.icans ad- vanced. The California and Washing ton regiments made a splendid charge and drove the Filipinos from the vil- liges of Paco' and Santa Mesa.
 The Nebraska regiment also dist n guished itself by capturing several prisoners and one howitzcr and d very strong position at the reservoir, which is connected with the water works.
 The Kansas and Dakota regiments compelled the enemy's right flank to retire to Calvocan. There Twas inter mittert firing at various points all day long.
 The losses of the FiIipinos cannot be estimated at present. but they were known to be considerable The American losses are estimated at twenty killed and 125 wounded.
 The Ygorates, armed with bows and arrows, made a very determined stand in the face of a hot artillery fire, and left many dead on the field. Several were made i'll this city yes

 DEWEY SENDS THE NEWS.
 The news of the beginning of an ether war came from Admiral Dewey No word had been received from Gen eral Otis up to nightfall It seems to be Dewey's fortune always to be able to report favorable news and like all of his messages that have gone be- fore, this cablegram told of the success of the Amerianc forces in action.
 It was with great regret, however, that the administration learned that the insurgents had forced an issue. It has hoped all along that they could be brought to see the advantages of placing their trust in the American people and relying upon the president to deal justly with them.
 LOOKING AFTER AGONCILLO.
 One Of the first steps of the admin istration upon hearing of the outbreak at Manila was to give at tention to the presence in Washington of Agoacillo, the accredited represent ative here of the Philippine insur- gents. They would not say whether or not any steps had been taken look ing to his expulsion from the United States or to his arrest, but his status, it can be stated, has already been the subject of careful study.
 The officials have been 10th to dis turb him; first, because they did not care to martyrize him unnecessarily, and second, because they did not care to expose themselves to the criticism that they were interfering improperly with the supply of information and respecting the Philippine question while the tre2ty was pending before the senate THEIR PATIENCE EXHAUSTED.
 It is possible, however, now that their patience is exhausted, believing as they do that he has in some fashion | been connected with this outbreak, | that they may be aroused to the point of action.
 1t was said at the state deparement | plainly that Agoncillo was either a l traitor or a spy If the Philippines are regarded as American territory then he is the representative and active agent of an insurrection against the United States, and as such is a traitor.
 If the Philippines are still in the nominal possession Of the Spanish hen as a state Of war still technically exists, he can be regarded only as a spy. At the very least his presence is highly obnoxious and there is said to 9e ample authority for his expulsion )y presidential order.

 that one or two Wavering senators

 occurred at Manila an excuse to vote fer the treaty.
 OF NO EFFECT SAYS MARTIN.
 Senator Hale, one of the republican opponents of the treaty in the senate could not be seen.
 Senator Martin of Virginia who is said: 'tThe news from Manila will not have any effect on the treaty, no man will change his mind on this ac- count
 Senator Teller, staunch supporter of the treaty said: Our army is in Manila by right of conquest and under the laws of war we are justified in maintaining our position there against all who may attack us I think it most fortunate that the peace treaty was not ratified the first week after it came to the senate
 WHAT FRYE HAD PREDICTED.
 Senator Frye, member of the peace commission and supporter of the treaty said: "The condition is now what I have been predicting every day since the discussion of the treaty be- gan. The absurd compliments that have been heaped upon Aguinaldo and the delay in ratifying the treaty have had the effect of encouraging him to make an attack before achievements from the United States could arrive at Manila'
 Senator Lindsay who will vote for the treaty says: ''To my knowledge, it would have been better if thera had been an earlier disposition of the treaty by the senate, for I think a col lision would have been prevented by ratifying the treaty. We have never Filipino government and the United States forces are lawfully at Manila.
 NOT DOUBTFUL NOW.
 Senator Harris who has been ge1er- ally regarded as doubtful on the treaty said "I announced several days ago that I expected to vote for the treaty and I only regret that the votes could not have been secured be- fore the battle of Manila occurred as I think such action would have had a tendency to pacify the natives and keep them quiet''
 Senator Cullom, a member on for eign relations and a supporter of the treaty said: "The fighting at Manila 1 is a very serious affair and I am sorry | that it occurred, but 1 am gratitied i hat our army was able to more than lold it's own There is only one thing 70 do and that is to stand our ground md if more troops are needed the government ought to send them promptly. Until the treaty is ratified We are technically at war with Spain, md our army was sent to the Philip pines as one of the means of conquer ng Spain Probably the attack was made by Aguinaldo and his followers Il the hope of influencing the senate if the United States to defeat the reaty. It ought to be regarded by very patriotic American as a reason yhy the treaty should be ratified with ut days delay"

VIEWS OF SENATORS
What They Say Of the Effect Of the
 BattlC on the Treaty.

Washington. Feb. 5.-Senator Lodge
 committee cn foreign relations. when seen tonight on the Philippine situa-
 ticn, said: "On the proposition pre-
 sented I am in favor of standing by
 Dewey and Otis as against AguinaldO. Our status in the Philippines is. under
 the protocol, we are in possession of the city, pay and harbor of Manila. We are acting under a truce with Spain. Those people who have attacked the United States forces are in tae eye of international law, still subjects of Spain and would be until the treaty is ratified.
 They have violated the truce and are cur public enemies. and should be treated as such. It was known week ago that Agoncillo, the representative of Aguinaldo in Washington, was ready tc pack up and go away, giving up everything, but the action of those who have opposed the treaty and the assurance he has received from some one resulted in his remaining. and the encouragement which the F'ilipinos have received from the United States has no doubt led to this attack upon the American forces.''
 GORMAN TREATS IT LIGHTLY.
 Senator German of Maryland. who is the leader and organizer of the op- position to the treaty in the senate, said as to the effect of the conflict at Manila would have upon the treaty: Tt will have no effect whatever. What has occurred is the result of what has been predicted by the opponents of the l treaty all the time. The opponents { Of the treaty saId that trouble would l come if we handled those people with out gloves and undertook to force our selves upon them without their con- sent. This battle can have no effect ! upon the opponents Of the treaty in ! any way"
 PETTIGREW s FtLAINT
 Senator Pettigrew: We could have | no possible difficulty with the people | Of the Philippines if we had given to them assurances that we did not pro- pose to overthrow their newly estab- lished liberties: instead. we made a treaty with Spain by which their was ceded to the United States and we began at once to occupy it with -roops and send endorsements which was sufficient to cause alarm. The dis patch Of several thousand more regu- lars lately, of course, created appre- nensions on the part of the people of he Philippine republic. We should To now what we should have done in he first place, state to the people Of : hose islands our good intentions and say to them, Establish your republic md we will not allow other nations to interfere. Give Us your bonds to reim- purse us for cur expense in securing 7ou you. liberty. We will welcome you o tEe family of republics of the world ( The course Of the administration on he contrary has been one of criminal aggression and apparent bad faith. There can he no question in the minds f any one who has read the instruc- ions to the peace commissioners that | he presidents purpose always was 0 make permanent claim to the island ,f Luzon. To turn upon an ally in his way is certainly the gtea test in ' ernational crime of the century"

CAME AS A SURPRISE.

The news came like a shock; for the administration, though apprised that an ugly situation prevailed in the Phil ippines. had clung steadily to the hope that by tact and patience, actual fight ing might be aveited and even those public men who felt that hostilities would follow should the treaty be rat flied and the United States attempt to occupy the islands, believed that Aguinaldo would net force the fighting
