SITUATION NOT SERIOUS.
Government Not Alarmed at Condt-
lions In Manila.

w WASHINGTON, Feb. 27..-There is
nothing in the situation at Manila to
cause alarm for the safely of the
American troops, in the opinion of
Well-informed administration officials.
Since Gen. Otis cabled Saturday even
ing to this effect. there has come no
word from him tending to qualify the
statement in any sense Admiral
Dewey has not been heard from fur
fher. according to, Secretary Long, and
from this absence of positive news the
officials draw the conclusion that moth
ing has happened to warrant appre-
hension
Respecting the reported landing of
foreign marines at Manila not a word
of. confirma ton has been received at
either the war department or the navy
department. A press dispatch receiv-
ed several days ago, mentioned the
landing of a few British blue jackets
each evening. to wet down the British
consulate, a measure Of protection
from fire during the intensely dry sea-
son in the Philippines, and it is prob
able that this is the foundation for
the Madrid story Of a general landing.

American decree, in which the following pas
sages occur:
The American guns respect neither honor
nor property, but barbarously massacre wom-
and children.
Manila has witnessed the most horrible out
RACES, confscating the property and savings
of. the people at the point Of the bayonet
and shooting the defenseless, accompanied by
odious acts of abomination, repugnant bar
bartsm and racial hatred worse than the do
ings in Carolina. Unless you conjure a holy
war for independence you are only worthy to

civilized world that you viii fight to the
death against American treachery and brute
force. Even the women should if necessary.

MONEY FOR THE ARMY.
Appropriation Bill Passed by the
House-President Criticised.

Hons e-PreSident Criticised.
WASHINGTON, Feb 27-The house
was in session seven hours today and
sent to the senate two more appro-
priation bills. the army, which has
been under consideration for several
days. and the fortifications. The for
mer carried about $79, 100000 and the
latter approximately $4700,000. -
The only amendment of Importance
attached to the army bill was one Civ
ing two months extra pay to enlisted
men in the regular army who served
beyond the limits of the United States
during the war with Spain and one
months extra pay to those who served
in the United States. The discussion
of the administrations policy relative
to the Philippines, which has been oc-
cupying the attention of the members
to the exclusion of almost everything
else during the consideration of ap-
preparation bills for the last two weeks,
was continued today. several speeches
being made on the subject.
Mr.. Cox Dem, TENN made short,
sharp general speech, saying:
Il will never vote a cent to put a
bullet in gun to shoot down those
poor people over there CFilipinos, who
are trying to establish their home gov
eminent"
He could not understand, he said
why We had started out to free the
Cubans and should end by shooting
the FflipinoS. What a remarkable no.
titication, he declared, was that of
Gen. Otis that we had killed and
wounded 1000 of those people, part of
them naked natives, armed with bows
and arrows. AS an American. he ask
ed Where-Was the glory of this achieve
ment? Who had declared war on
these people who had done us no harm?
Mr.. Sulzer Oem., n. " offered an
amendment to increase the number Of
major generals to four and to provide
FOR filling the vacancies by the ap-
polntment Of Gen. Wheeler.
Mr.. Hull raised a point of order
against the amendment and the point
was sustained by the chair.
The committee then rose, and the
bill ass amended was passed.
Mr.. Henderson Rep.. Io.) then pre-
scented the special order agreed upon
by the committee on rules setting
aside tomorrow until o'clock for the
consideration of public building bills,
to be acted upon by the committee of
the whole.
Mr.. Dockery opposed the rule on the
ground that neither the condition of
the appropriation bills nor the treas
ury would warrant the use of tomor-
row for this purpose, and the appro-
priation of money which would result.
He figured out the total appropria-
tons, for the session at $67S, ri, coo.
This did not include the $4,000. coo
for the Nicaragua canal, which might
become law, nor the $25, 900. 600 of
claims we had assumed by the treaty
of Paris. These aggregated the APP
palling total of $500 OOO. 900. Yet it was
proposed to give a day for public
buildings and add 81 900 900 more to
these staggering liabilities. He fig

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The Off
Gals at the war department were ask
ed today why Gen. Otis had refused
to recognize the commissioners who
had come to Manila from the insur-
gent headquarters at Malolos when
they came to seek peace. The reply
was that Gen. Otis was acting with
the greatest propriety in this matter
He was careful not to commit his gov
eminent TO any recognition of Agui-
naldo that would make a precedent.
and then there was always the best
reasons for Withholding confidence in
every act of the insurgents where the
