MANILA, Jan. 13.-The situation at
Iloilo is unchanged. The Filipnos

On Saturday they loaded some lighters

On Sunday one of the Arizona's

and while attempting to land there
armed natives assembled on the beach
and compelled the Americans to retire.
MANILA, Jan. 1.-The SITUATION is
undoubtedly critical, but Major Cen

is no such certainty of trouble as many

CONGRESSIONAL.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.--In the Senate
Mr. McLaurin of South Carolina tool,
strong ground in u carefully prepared
speech against a policy of expan-
sion by this country He cited as one
OF the principal reasons why the
United States should not assume do
ninion over peoples who are widely
dissimilar to the people of this coun-
try the experience of the South with
the negro race. He advocated the
adoption of the Vest resolution, de-
claring that this country could not
maintain permanently rs colonies such
territory as the Philippines, and held
that it would be in opposition to the
spirit of American institutions to
do So
Mr.. Sullivan of Mississippi and Mr.
Pasco of Florida discussed the pending
Nicaraguan canal bill, the former sup
porting it and the latter opposing it,
The Indian appropriation bill was
taken up, but its consideration was
not concluded before the hour of ad-
journment.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Mr. Foraker
of Ohio yesterday addressed the SEN
ate in opposition to the declaration of
the Vest resolution that the United
States has no constitutional power to
acquire foreign territory to be main
tanned as colonies. While much of his
speech was devoted to constitutional
. argument in support of the right of
this country as nation to acquire and
govern outlying territory, he gave
particular attention to the utterances
that have been made in contravention
of that position, especially those OF
Mr.. Vest and Mr.. Hoar.
Mr.. Foraker's strong assertion that
the acquisition of the Philippines was
chamber. Mr.. Foraker reiterated it.
We could not desert the people of the
islands, he said and subject them to
the risks of disorder, anarchy, mis-
RI and mob rule, while they might
be still unfit for self-government but
our occupation was not to be pcrma-
nent.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12-Senator
Mason of Illinois occupied the atten-
tion of the Senate for nearly an hour
and half yesterday with u speech iii
support of his resolution declaring
that the United States will never at
tempt to govern the people of any
country without their consent.
At the request of Mr.. Morgan the
Senate unanimously agreed to the linn
itation of the debate on the Nicaragua
canal bill to fifteen minute speeches
after o'clock next Tuesday.
Mr.. Turley was then recognized to
speak on the Nicaragua canal bill. He
announced himself as an advocate of a
canal, but said that he was opposed to
the pending bill He based his obiec-
lions largely upon the fact that the
Clayton Bulwer treaty is in full force
at the present time.
At 4:15 the Senate adjourned.

Man Who Called Miles "a Liar
WAsnNoToN, Jan. 1.-THE war in
vestigating commission passed to-day
a resolution of censure of General

fully prepared typewriter statement

''Brigadicr General c. P. Eagan.
Commissary General, War Department.:
We respectfully inform you that, after
your testimony was read yesterday,
the following resolution was unan-
imously passed:
Moved, That the commission re-
ceive General Eagan's testimony with.
out comment; that it be not printed at
once, but held for the consideration
of the commission. Carried.
Having now considered the ques-
lions involved, we have determined
that in many instances the vitupera-
tive language used by you was not
such as ought to haze been addressed
as u witness to this board. We think
that the personal attacks and irrele.
want statements contained in the pa.
pcrs submitted should be eliminated,
and before receiving it as testimony
we request that you will revise its
language and, if you choose, resubmit
it for our consideration. We here
with return you'd papers. Very re-
specially, Charles DENLY, vice prcsi-
dent"
When General Miles was seen in re.
gard to General Eagan's statement be-
fore the war investigation commits.
sion he said: Il shall pay no atten-
tion to Il man who seems to forget
that he wears the uniform of the
United States ARM, and that this dig
nifty should carry with it the instincts
of gentleman. If the secretary of
war chooses to take cognizance of Cen
eral Eagan's language well and good.
certainly shall not do so.

the army beef which he had received
from Governor Roosevelt

eral Nelson A. Miles, War Depart

Miles: do not distinctly understand
about this beef controversy, but posi-
bly, what have to say may be of some
use.
1.-The canned corned beef we found
to be good The so-callcd canned
roast beef that was issued TO use for
travel rations, both upon the trans
port and upon the train. and which we
occasionally got even at the front,
was practically worthless. Unless
very hungry, the men would not touch
it, and even went suffering from lack
of food. They never ate fifth of it,

There was also a supply of beef lin

aboard our transport at Tampa. 1t
was supposed to be fitted by some pro
cess to withstand tropical heat. 1t at
once became putrid and smclled sc
that we had to dispose of it for fear OF
its creating disease. think we threw
it overheard. At any rate it was con-
demned
The beef we got at Santiago after
the cath or 25th of July, that is after
the siege had ended, and when my
brigade had been without fresh meat
or vegetables for month, was gen
orally good. BY that time the cav
airy division was in sickly condition.
the fact that the meat ration was
so bad as generally to be inedible
caused very great hardship to my men 4
and reduced its supply of food below
what was necessary to keep them in
proper condition. Very sincerely
yours Theodore Roosevelt"

COM MERGE REPORT.
Vital Points of tho Present Law Are
Defective.

WASHINGTON, Jan. H. The inter-
state commerce commission, in its an
nual report, given out to-day, COM
plains that the railroad traffic situa-
ton is intolerable ''In previous re-
ports to Congress- it says, attention
has been called to the vital respects
in which the act has proved defective
and inadequate. Some of it's provis-
ions were early seen to be imperfect,
while others were so uncertain and
ambiguous as to give rise to protracted
litigation, resulting finally in author
itative construction by the supreme
court of the United States.
ITO say that the law, in its present
condition, cannot be enforced, is only
to repeat what has already been said.
Until further and important legisla-
tion is enacted, the best efforts at reg
nlation must be feeble and disappoint-
ng."
