HOUSE WATCHED THE BILLS.
CANNON CONGRATULATEs BOTH
COUNTRY AND CONGRESS.

Has Made n Revised Statement OF
Appropriations for the Record.
Ordinary Expenditures Were Only
About S4O,OO0,OOO More Than Those
of the Preceding COngress-Cited
Nicaragua Canal as Example of
Houses Economy.
Washington, March 10.-Availing him
self Of the privilege accorded by the House
of Representatives previous 10 adjourn
ment Chairman Cannon of the committee
on appropriations, has prepared for the
Congressional Record a more extensive
statement of the appropriations made by
the Fifty-fifth Congress than he made the
day after adjournment.
He places the total appropriations for the
entire Congress at 81 $50, 0l6, and the ap-
propriations authorized for future Con-
crosses under the continuing contract sys-
TEN for battieships, river and harbor inn
provements and public buildings at $7O,OO0,-
COO.
The total appropriations made at the
last session, Mr.. Cannon places at $67S,-
COS, 400, showing an apparent reduction of
$219, 57S, PA below the appropriations of the
preceding session Mr.. Cannon attributes
this reduction to the extraordinary war eX-
penses OF the preceding session. OF the
total appropriations for the Congress, he
says that the sum of $4S2, ,562 0SS is directly
chargeable TO the war with Spain. He thus
shows that the ordinary expenditures for
the two years covered by the Congress
were 81 OLA ,273, and this sum exceeds
the total appropriations of the Fifty
fourth Congress by $50, 746,65S.
Mr.. Cannon congratulates Congress and
the country upon this showing, and also
upon the fact that, Notwithstanding the
war, close attention was given TO the ordi-
nary expenditures of the government which
is, he thinks. unusual
WatchfuIness of the House.
He cites the defeat of the provision for
the construction of the Nicaragua canal,
which the Senate attempted to get through
in connection with the sundry civil ap-
preparation bin, as an instance of the sue
cess of this watchfufness on the part Of
the House.
If" he says on this point, "the Senate
bill or any measure proposed had been en-
acted, the United States would have paid
IS, 600 for worthless concession, and
would have been committed by law TO the
construction of canal along
the Nicaragua route; and I'M
der such conditions 1t would
have been compelled, before we threw up
a spadeful of earth, or in any way began
actual construction, 10 have acquired by
treaty from Nicaragua and Costa Rica,
the territory whereon to construct the
canal and the right TO construct it."
In conclusion Mr. Cannon declines to en-
ter upon the present discussion of future
legislation, sayinga
Il prefer rather to await the logic of
events and the full information that viii
doubtless come as 1 hope, between now
and the organization in December next of
the newly elected Congress. But 1 ven
ture the assertion and prediction that the
United States could not if it would, and
would not if it could, part with the terri
ories acquired from Spain by the treaty
of peace or shirk its duties and RESPONSE
htlities touching them"

His Brother jumped Into the Ring
and stopped Ii.

and stopped II.
San Francisco, March 10--Billy Lavigne
brother Of Kid Lavigne. jumped into the
ring in the fourteenth round of the Smith
Lavigne fight tonight, and Referee Nc
Donald was forced to give the decision
TO Smith
The end came so suddenly and unex-
pectedly that the big crowd was for a
time at loss to understand the situation
The cause Of Billy Lavignes action was
the fact that George had received cou-
pie of solid blows from Smith on the jaw,
and was palpably ratified and somewhat
groggy. His brother, seeing his condition
and fearing a Knockout, out of brotherly
sympathy and family PRIDE jumped
through the ropes and placed his arm
about his brothers shoulder, declaring he
would never see George humiliated by a
Knockout.
AS the seconds action was a clear vlo-
lation of the rules governing glove con-
tests, Referee Mcdonald had no other al
tentative than 20 decide in favor of
Smith. While Lavigne was getting the
worst of the mixes in the round, he was
not out of II, and might have stayed
through had not his brother interfered.

GEN. GOMEZ GAINS IN FAvoR.
Arrangements Being Made for Pay
ing on Cuban Troops.

Havana, March lO.-The only obstacle
now in the way Of paying of the Cuban
troops is the completion of the rolls, a
work which is being hastened by Inspec-
tor Bolon. He says that in some cases the
rosters of the command must be created,
as the odd rosters are either missing or too
defective to be useful lie points out that
the insurgents often have no paper, pens
or ink
Gen Gomez explains that six thousand
commissioned aud ten thousand non-com-
missioned officers are relatively large num-
bers in an army Of 80 1000 privates, but that
these officers, in many cases, received their
appointments because the Cubans have
had no other way Of recognizing bravery
and stimulating enthusiasm.
1T may seem" he says, "a cheap sort
of promotion, but II meant a good dead to
the Cubans."
Gen Gomez continues to produce an ex-
cellent impression upon the American mil
itary authorities.

tends to require the Cuban military as
sembly TO discontinue It's meetings are Of

This morning the committee appointed
yesterday by the assembly called upon
Gen. Gomez to ask an explanation of his
conduct and definition Of the under
standing reached between him and Gen
Brooke, which the committee declared had
prevented a successful issue of the assem-
bly's financial project. Gen. Gomez de-
clined to comply with the request
Whether Gen Brookes message declar-
ing that the United States will not recog-
nize any financial obligation entered In
TO by any persons claiming to represent
the people of Cuba, without the Presi-
dents authorization, was delivered TO the

pears that the members Of the assembly

sion tomorrow will be public and the bus

WITHIN THE AMERICAN LINES.
AgonciIlO Comments on the Report
About Pandacan.

About Pandacan.
London, March 1O.-Senor Agoncillo. the
agent of Aguinaldo, has recovered from
the effects of the exposure to which he
was subjected through the wrecking of
the steamer Labrador on Feb. /, in which
vessel he sailed from ST. John, y. B., for
Liverpool.
CommenSng on the Associated Press dis
patch from Manila this morning, saying
that rebel 1ncendiaries entered the village
of Pandacan last night, for the alleged
purpose of terrorizing those of the in
habitants who do not sympathize with the
rebellion. Agoncillo said that if this were
true il means the Filipinos have advanced
within the American lines. He says how
ever, that ii is absurd to say the Fill
pinos are attacking or burning the place,
as, he asserted, it is the center of the Fill
pino Free Masons.
In further conversation with the repre-
sentative of the Associated Press Agoncil-
10 said:
The ratification of the treaty without
amendment was the result of intrigue. Po-
litically, it was an undenable reverse for
the administration.
The jingo kilograms telling of constant
victories of the Americans are ludicrous.
Since the beginning of the campaign the
victorious army of Gen. Otis has not ad-
vanced a yard beyond Caloocan and San
Pedro Macat
Il have kilograms up to Feb. q repeat
ing that 600 American prisoners are in the
hands of the Filipinos. Gen. Otis censors
the press kilograms because he knows
that if the correspondents were allowed TO
report the real facts, the position of the
American forces would be anything but
creditable in the eyes of the world, and
the junta telegram would be found to be
perfectly correct"
