Vienna: Terrible scenes were wit
nessed in the conflagratiOn which de-
stroyed the whole village Of Nagypro-

Washington. Feb. In diplomatic
quart rs the view prevails that all
foreign EDvernmt will maintain strict
neutrality in case of an insurrection in
the Philippines. hut that no formal
pruclamations OF neutrality will be

ber of bills were passed. several of inn
portance. The census bill prepared by

Dor laws over the Hawaiian islands, and
another bill was passed to refer A war

Manila. Feb. Careful estimates

the environs of the city of Manila as the

The natives were confidently aggres-

inflicted upon them from the very out

ready for the attack for some time,

hut the vigorous work of our troops COM

hopelessly to ruut.
The casualties. however. were not con-

our killed and wounded shows. In fact
our troops suffered more than was at
first supposed. upward of 20 having been
| killed and $50 wounded, according to the
latest reports. The number Of Ameri-
can troops engaged was 5000, while the
native force numbered 10000.

was offered tnat prepared by Senator
Vest placing the Philippines on the same
footing as cuba in the treaty. In the
temporary absence of Mr.. Vest il was
presented by Mr.. German.
The voting on this amendment pro-
ceeded quietly. and ii was soon disposed
Of. The only vote considered as at all
significant Of a change favorable TO the
treaty was that of Mr.. McEnery. who
voted against the amendment. Sena-
tors Jones OF Nevada. McLaurin and
kenney voted for it.
The vote was Immediately announced
and pages We're sent scurrying through
the corridors to announce to the few
senators who were not in their seats that
the eliminating event had arrived. The
call proceeded quietly until the name Of
Senator McLaurin was announced. He
created the first stir by speech in eN-
PLANTATION of his vote FOR the treaty.
This was the initial break in the ranks Of
the opposition. Mr.. McLaurin gave as
the reason for his change of position the
open hostilities in Manila. He said that
the attack upon our troops had brought
about new condition of affairs.
This announcement created excitement
and brought some of the opposition sena-
tors to his side with remonstrances, but
he replied that he could not any longer
see his way clear TO cast his vote against
the treaty. Continuing, he said he was
not willing to embarrass this govern
ment at so critical time. If, after the
ratification, the administration should
fail to pursue the proper course towards
the islands. the fault would be that of
the government. He referred to the
agreement to pass the MCEnery resolu-
ton as a pledge against expansion. In
view of this promise, and in the hope
that ratification would lessen bloodshed
in the Philippines he would, he said,
vote in the affirmative.
When he had concluded. Senator Nc
Emery congratulated him, saying that he
had decided upon the same course. The
Louisiana senator made no speech, pub
licly announcing himself only by his
