AGAINST ANNEXATION POLICY.
Caucus of Democrats Called to Adopt
Resolutions.

washington, Feb. 25-A caucus of the
democratic members of the House has
been called for o'clock next Monday
evening, "for the consideration Of the at
utude of the party on the Philippines"
A plan of action has already been out
hned, and it is expected that a resolution
VIII be adopted against the permanent ac-
QUESTION of the Philippines.
A resolution to this effect has been
drafted by the Democratic members of the
committee on foreign affairs, following
the lines OF The Bacon resolution offered in
the Senate. This viii be the basis of the
resolution adopted at the caucus, and it
is expected to get the resolution before
the House of Representatives.
Among those active in securing the call
were Representatives Dinsmore of Arkan-
sas, the ranking Democrat on the COM
mittee on foreign affairs; Howard of Geor-
gia, also of that committee, and BAH of
Texas.
Mr. Howard stated that the step had
been taken mainly because the McEnery
resolution passed by the Senate had been
ignored by the committee on foreign af-
fairs. No meeting of the committee had
been called since the McEnery resolution
was received, so it was manifest the House
was not TO be permitted to vote on such
a declaration.
He and his Democratic associates of the
committee had, therefore, framed a reso-
luton much similar to that of Senator
Bacon, which would be offered TO the
caucus on Monday. If this or like reso-
luton should be adopted, Mr. Howard said,
it would be presented to the House and
an effort made to have the speaker grant
an opportunity for its consideration. In
any event. 1t would define the position Of
the Democrats of the House.
1t is stated by a number of Democrats
that the move does not result from the re-
cent visit of Mr.. Bryan, although it is said
the resolutions will express sentiments
similar to those of Mr.. Bryan at the recent
Washington birthday banquet here.
Several Democratic members feel that
it will be appropriate to consider to what
extent the financial question is to remain
the paramount issue or whether it is to be-
come secondary to an issue on imperial
ism.

part of Secretary Long, and was permitted

current routine dispatches.
Dewey VIII Take Cebu.
Admiral Dewey cabled the navy depart
meut to-day that he had sent the gunboat
Perel from Manila to Cebu. 1t is the pur-
pose OF the admiral to establish the sover-
cignty of the United States at the capital
of the island, which Is a populous town of
5000 inhabitants.
War department reports say the island
of Cebu is the most important province
of the Visayas group, its area being 1000
square miles and Its population more than
half a million.
Under the Spanish regime the capital was
city Of considerable commercial and po-
litical Importance
Mentioned Only the Petrol.
The admiral made no mention Of any
thing save the Petrol in this mornings
advices, so the officials here are convinced
that nothing of Importance at Manila has
happened over night.
In view of the apparent disparity between
Admiral Dewey's report of the sailing of
the Petrol from Manila for Cebu and Gen.
Gus announcement of the surrender Of
mat city to the naval forces which had
taken quiet possession" further inquiry
was made by the navy department and it
was learned that Admiral Dewey had been
misquoted and that what he had reported
was that the Petrel had received the sur
render of Cebu.

Predicts "a Heavy Deficit.
He computed that for next year the ex-
pendltures on account of the army and
navy would aggregate $3.50, 0000OO; greater
than the total expenditures of the gov
ernment for 1871 TO 1876 He predicted
deficiency of $lS0. 900. Then there must
be an increase of the direct taxation or
more bonds or certificates.

that the Secretary of the Treasury Is con-
templating the issue of more government
obligations
Mr.. Tillman asked If the Philippine re-
bellon could not be put down by volun-
teers and Mr.. German said he saw no
reason why 1t should not be. But this
was not the desire. The wish was to have
more shoulder straps and more men to
wear them.
MIR. German declared that under the
present head of the army a proper or
ganization of the service could be effect
ed.
TilImnn's Keen Scent.
MIR. Tillman, interrupting Mr.. Gorman:
''Then there is nothing In the bill TO pre-
vent recurrence of the embalmed beef
scandal?"
Mr. German passed off the question
lightly, saying he knew little about 1t.
Mr. Tillman: None of us know any
thing about it yet, perhaps; but there is
so much of 1t in the air we can smell it'
Il do not know this.p replied Mr.. Cor
man. "The Secretary Of War is much
abused man. He is not responsible for
the department in which the scandal orig
mated, a department in which the officers
are appointed for life"
Mr.. Carter, a member of the military
affairs committee, replied to Mr.. German.
After discussing at length the result
of the war with Spain, showing how the
Philippines fell into our hands, he asked
If 1t was desirable to leave those islands
to float about the Pacific as political dere-
licts. To do that, he declared, would be
the national crime of the century.
Smith Thinks Mckinley safe.
Mr.. Smith, Democrat, OF New Jersey,
in stating his reasons for supporting the
bill, said that as a general and broad prin-
ciple he was opposed to large standing
army, in ordinary circumstances He re-
garded such an army as dangerous to the
liberties of the people.
I'm the hands of a less scrupulous man
than President Mckinley" said he, "a
large standing army may De uSed 10 re-
press freedom Of speech and the press.
1t might be used to sustain large corpo-
rations in unlawful combinations. II will
cause an immense expenditure OF public
money. There is no necessity for large
standing army when viewed from the les
sons of the past glorious battles of the
volunteers.
Il will not see the flag displaced or the
country humiliated through any action OF

ALGER WANTS AN AMENDMENT.

of getting the compromise army bill

ment of the volunteer soldiers now serving

When the peace treaty takes effect the

The secretary thinks many of the volun-

poses grants authority to give them this
opportunity. The Senate committee on mil
itary affairs has signified its willingness
TO accept the amendment.
