AMERICAN PROTECTION
Desired for Family of Filipinos is Con-
sidered Significant.

Manila, February 16.-11:20 a. m.-Since the
American line reached the natural defenses
of Manila they have made no further ad-
vance, and the troops are now encamped
along the line. Many places have been
temporarily entrenched.
Occasional brushes with small bodies of
the enemy by scouting parties have been
the only cause of excitement. Troops K
and 1, of the Fourth cavalry, encountered
the enemys scouts yesterday near Paran-
aque and exchanged a few volleys with
them. During the firing Trooper Wilt
nerk was wounded in the right arm.
The cruiser Buffalo fired four small shells
at party of the enemy, which the cruis-
er's searchlight showed to be mounted
battery near Paranaque last night The
enemy made no reply and withdrew their
guns to Paranaque.
The steamers Brutus and Romalus have
arrived from Iloilo. but brought no later
news, except that the Americans are clear
ing vessels thence, assuming control of the
port. The rebels had all the records
burned before vacating the town.
1t is rumored that the Fiipinos in the
interior arc in sore straits and are now
querreling among themselves, but 1t is I'M
possible to confirm these reports as all COM
munication is cut Off.
A large body of the enemy presumably
accommodating, was discovered on the right
of Brigadier General Kings position near
San Pedro Macatia this morning. The entire
brigade turned out, and after an exchange
of volleys the rebels retreated into the jun
gle and disappeared.

DEALS WITH EACH CHARGE

Montgomery, February 16-(Speclal)-
The jefferson county commissioners court
bill is at last on the senate calendar The
committee on local legislation made re-
port this morning unanimously adversing
the bill. The report covers twenty-one
pages of typewriter copy. 1t was read at
length in the senate, and given close atten-
tion by every member.
The report deals with each of the charges
set forth in Examiner Cowan's report, and
Governor Johnstons message. Each OF
these charges have been explained salts
factorily to the committee. The report Is
based on evidence of Sheriff o'Brien, so
far as relates to the charges in runpin7j
the jail. A few afidavits are also pre-
sented. The report as whole Is almost
word for word the same as paper read
before the committee by Attorny L. 3.
White, during his argument last Friday
night.
At the conclusion of the reading of the
committees report Senator Moore moved
that 100 copies be printed for the use of the
senate he motion was adopted.
Placed on the Calendar
Senator Brown, of Cullman, then moved
that the bill be placed on the calendar for
a third reading on tomorrow. President
Cunningham said that under the rules of
the senate the senator had a right to
make this motion and the bill was placed
on the calendar.
On tomorrow comes the clash. 1t will be
a fierce fight, and whether or not it will
end on tomorrow, no one tell. There
are not many long-winded senators, and
most of these favor the bill, and will not
care to do much talking. They are already
sure of their position with a clear majority
of not less than six. Senator Cunningham
is making the fight of his life, and the
minority will probably resort to all possi-
BILE dilatory tactics to defeat the bill In
fact, they have SO announced their intcn-
tions. The fight is the one of vast concern
all over Alabama.

AN ULTIMATUM.
Oman Must Not Cede France a Coaling
Station.

Bombay, February 16.-The Persian gulf
steamer, whicn has just arrived here, brings
news that a British ultimatum was pre-
sented to the sultan of Oman on Saturday,
owing to his having leased to France coal
ing station on the coast of Oman, which Is
considered to be under British protection,
as the sultan has been receiving subsidy
from Great Britain.
London, February 16.-In the house OF
commons today the Rt Hon. William st.
John Broderick, under secretary of state
for foreign affairs, said that so far as her
majesty's government knew, the sultan of
Oman had not ceded, nor was he about to
cede to France coaling station or harbor
on the coast of Oman.
London, February 16.-Inquiry made in
official circles here shows that the under
secretary of state for foreign affairs ap-
pears to have seen juggling with words in
Inc house of commons today when he an
swered the question regarding France and
Oman.
AS a matter 1of fact, the sultan of Oman
allowed France to establish a coalng sta
tion on his coast a month ago, although
perhaps there has been no lease and no
cession of territory. The officials here also
saw the word "ultimatum" in the dispatch
from Bombay today referring to Oman IL
"too strong.
1t is understood that the British mote
informed the sultan that III he favored
other nations, the British subsidy of $4,000
(s40 00O) would be stopped"

Montgomery, February 16.-(Special.)-
1t looks tonight as if the Age-Herald will
yet win its earnest fight for the better edu-
cation of the seven hundred thousand chill
dren of Alabama
Ten days ago, when Auditor White issued
his statement showing that the condition of
the estimated treasury at the end of he
next fiscal year would not permit an appro-
priation of $60O,OOO for the public schools,
the fight for a better school system seemed
lost. The general assembly seemed willing
to help the schools, but when the revenue
bill was defeated there was no additional
money to appropriate. Mr.. Bulger, the
father of the bill appropriating 100000 and
terday introduced a bill levying direct tax
of one mill to be used for school purposes
only.
This evening the bill was given favor
able report by the committee and is on the
calendar for a third reading tomorrow. The
bill will pass the house and it is also be-
lieved that the senate will pass it.
This will provide s25O,ooo additional for the
public schools and will bring the total up to
very near the million dollar mark With a
more careful assessment of the poll taxes,
the school fund would easily reach a million
dollars.

III mind, first, after the success of our arms
and the maintenance of our own honor, the
welfare and happiness and the rights of the
inhabitants of the Philippine Islands. Did
we not obtain their consent to perform a
great work for humanity? We mad 1t in
every aspiration of their minds; in the nope
of their hearts. Was 1t necessary to ask
their consent to capture Manila, the capl-
tai of their islands? Did we ask their con-
sent to liberate them from Spanish SOW
ereignty or to enter Manila bay and desti oy
the Spanish sea power there?
1--WE did not ask these; we were obeying
a higher moral obligation which rested on
us and which did not require anybody's con-
sent We were doing our duty by them
with the consent Of our own conscience and
with the approval of civilization. Every
present obligation has been met and ful-
filled in the expulsion of Spanish sover-
eighty from their islands, and while the
war that destroyed it was in progress, we
could not ask their views. Nor can we ask
their consent. Indeed, can any one tell me
in what form 1t could be marshaled and as
certained until peace and order, so neces-
sary to reign of reason, shall be secured
and established? reign of terror Is not
the kind of rule under which right action
and deliberate judgment are possible. 1t is
not good time for the liberator to submit
important questions concerning liberty and
engaged in shooting down their rescuers.
What shall We Do Now
I'VE have now ended the war with Spain
The treaty has been ratified by more than
two-thirds of the senate of the United
States, and by the judgment of nine-tenths
of it's people. No nation was ever more for
tunate in war, or more honorable in ne
gotiations in peace. Spain is now eliminated
from the problem. 1t remains to ask what
shall we do now? l don't intrude on the
duties of congress or seek to anticipate or
forestall its action. l only say that the
treaty of peace, honorably secured, having
been ratified by the United States and, as
we confidently expect, to be shortly ratified
In Spain, congress will have the power, and,
1 am sure, moral right and justice will be
done these people in distant seas.
..It is sometimes hard to determine what
is best to do and the best thing to do is
oftentimes the hardest The prophet of
evil would do nothing because he flinches
at sacrifice and effort and to do nothing
is easiest and involves the least cost. On
those who have things to do there rests a
responsibility which is not on those who
have no obligations doers. If the doubt
ers were in a majority, there would, 1t is
true, be no labor. no sacrifice, no anxiety.
and no burden raised or carried; no contri-
button from our ease and purse and COM
fort to the welfare of others. There would
be no ease; but, alas, there would be moth
ing done But grave problems come in the
life of a nation, however much men may
seek to avoid them. They come without
our seeking, why we do not know, and
II is not always given us to know; but the
generation on which they are forced can
