MADRID, Jan. 14.-In the senate
yesterday, replying to criticisms of the
governments policy toward the United
States during the incumbency of the
Sagsta ministry, Senior Gullon, former
minister of foreign affairs, declared
that the note presented by General
Woodford demanded the p%acifcation
of Cuba within a short period.

APPROPRIATION WORK
House to Dispose Of Urgent Deficiency and
Pension Bill This Week.
MAY OPEN PHILIPPINE QUESTION
Many Millions for Army and Navy
Spirited Debate Likely Over Pension
Bills Pettigrew Resolution in the
Senate Miscellaneous Washington
Notes.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The house
will plunge into the routine work Of
the session this week. Most of the
time, excepting Friday, which has been
set apart for paying tribute to the
memory of the late Vice President
Hobart, will be devoted to the con-
sideration of appropriation bills. 1t
is expected that the urgent deficiency
and pension bills will be passed this
week.
The former, containing as it does
many millions for the army and navy,
may raise the whole question as to the
instruction in the Philippines with it's
allied issues and lead to a very pro-
tracted debate. How far the republi-
can leaders will allow the debate to
run has not yet been determined, but
If the democrats are insistent and per-
sistent they can hardly refuse them
several days, in view of the large
amount of the appropriations involved.
The pension appropriation bill is
likely to cause some spirited debate,
owing to the disposition in certain
quarters to criticise the conduct of the
pension office. Attempts doubtless will
be made to legislate on the bill re-
versals of the pension commissioners
rulings. but as all legislation is sub
ject to a point of order it will fail.
There is no present prospect that the
Roberts cas- will get into the house
before next week.
The senate probably will resume con-
sideration of the Pettigrew resolution
making request for certain information
concerning the beginning of the war
in the Philippines Monday morning.
This will be succeeded at 2 o'clock
by a speech on the financial bill by
Senator Rawlins of Utah, if the pres
ent program is followed Senator Pet
tigrew will continue his speech on the
Philippine resolution and after he con-
cludes Senator Berry of Arkansas will
a k the floor for a general speech ON
the Philippine problem, if sufficient
time remains of the morning hour.
When the Pettigrew resolution is
disposed of the Hoar resolutions will
supply food for talk each day in tbs
morning hour and after that the Hale
resolution concerning the seizure of
American goods by Great Britain will
be taken up.
II ID SCldlOI AIuIlCu . d~ullCUuC6u
purpose to press consideration of the
financial bill each day after the con
clusion of the morning hour, but it is
not probable that he will succeed in
securing a daily speech on the subject.
Senator Teller probably will speak
some time during this week after Sen
ator Rawlins concludes. 1t is also
understood that Senator Daniel will
be heard soon On the question of the
finances. Other addresses on this sub
ject will come later.
The consideration of the Samoan
treaty in executive session will be re-
sumed if the legislative work permits
and Senators Mason and Money will
make speeches in opposition to it. 1t
is also probable that the report in the
Quay case may be presented later in
the week.

STORING OF WESTERN WATERS.
A Bill by Senator Allen for Relief of
Settlers.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator
Allen introduced a number of bills
today, some being of national import
ance. One is to authorize the creditors
of insolvent national banks to elect a
permanent receiver. Another is a bill
for the relief of settlers on the Great
Sioux reservation, lying and being in
the states of Nebraska, North Dakota,
South Dakota, and one directing the
secretary of the interior to make a
survey for and report on the cost of
erecting reservoirs on certain rivers
in the United State. and their tribu-
taries and appropriating 81, ZOO, 600 for
carrying out the provisions of the act.
The bill affects Nebraska, North and
South Dakota, Iowa and Wyoming, by
providing for the erection of reservoirs
for the conservation and storage in
the best and most advantageous man
ner of the waters of the rivers in the
states named, for industrial purposes,
the Sioux, Missouri, Des Moines, yell
lowstone, White, and the various
branches of the Platte, Arkansas and
Cfmarron rivers for the benefit of Ne
braska. Wyoming is to have reser-
voirs on the Platte, Green, Windy and
Big Horn rivers.

Shut Down for Want of Coal.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 15.-Inabil-
ity to secure bituminous coal in sufi-
cient quantities is necessitating the
shutting down of some of the manufac-
turing concerns in the Schuylkill val
ley. At Birdsboro the plant of the 1.
E.. & G.. Brooke Iron company has been
shut down for several DAYS, but it is
expected that by tomorrow sufficient
coal will be on hand to enable some of
the departments, if not the entire
plant, to resume The Reading Iron
company is practicaIy without coal,
and unless il can be secured a tempo
rorary shut down must follow. From
other points throughout the valley
come reports of coal shortages for
manufacturing plants.

ROBERTS IS At CAPE
New British Commander-in-Ch and
Lord Kitchener Arrive at Oapetown.
CRITICAL CONDITIONS BEFORE HIM

Butler Not In Good Health-He ana

Mcdonald and Tucker.

LONDON, Jan. 11.-(New York
World Cablegram. Lord Roberts
and General Kitchener arrived AZ
Capetown today.
The military experts who give pri-
vate points in the campaign that the
editors don't permit them to print, de-
clare that more difficulties OF the pres
ent situation for them are found III
side the British lines than any pre-
scented by the operations of the Beers.
Mail advices of the Magersfontein
battle and disaster to the Highlands,
with Colonel Wauchope's last words
to his men: Boys, don't blame me
for this; | had orders and was carry
ing them out" show that there was
some fault with the commanding
officers.
Colonel Cough, who commanded b
cavalry department under General
Metheun, is in London pressing for
a court-martial upon Methuen's report
that he declined to carry out the or
ders given him by the general in
charge. Cough has been temporarily
placated and urged to postpone his
personal demands until the war stu
alton is more settled.
General Yule, who conducted the re-
treat from Dundee after General Sy-
mons death, is also in London, but
in strictest seclusion, suffering, 1T is
said. from physical and mental col
lapse growing out of an attempt to
follow orders and save the troops that
were in deadly peril from trying to
hold advanced posts in Natal without
sufficient strength of cavalry and ar
tillery.
The London newspapers, without
making any direct charge, carry
yelled announcements that General
Butler is not in good health. 1t is
known here that the war office re-
ceives little, If any, information from
him directly. On the other hand, La
dy Audray Butler gets a message each
day from her husband briefly an
nouncing that he is well. The gossips
urge that this is exactly the step n
thoughtful husband would take to re-
assure his wife if he was not up to the
mark.
General Gatacre, in an u~ncensored
mail report, is declared to have been
seen sitting in the Molteno railway
with his head in his hands
bewailing the repulse of his troops.
The general in command of the
communications first reported disas-
ter to the Suffolk regiment under
General French's command.

HARRISON FORMALLY DECLINES.
Will Not Run for the Governorship of
Illinois, He Says.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 15.-Mayor Car
ter Harrison today refused formally
the offer of the democratic nomination
for governor. He was waited on by
Chairman Watson of the democratic
state committee, in company with ex-
Congressman Hinrichsen and M. F.
Dunlap of Jacksonville, nominee of
the party for state treasurer in 1898,
and asked if his informal declination
of the nomination was final. They
urged that it was his duty to the state
democracy to accept the nomination
and make the race.
The mayor replied that he did not
look at it in that light; mat there
were plenty of good men who would
make acceptable candidates and he
must decline.
AS a result. of Mayor Harrison's ac-
ton friends of former Vice President
Stevenson are urging him to accept
the nomination.

Barrett Charges Him With Being Cause

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-John Barrett,

the first time publicly named Senator
Hoar last night at Lake Forest uni
versity as the United States senator
whose anti-expansion speech was ca
bled to Hong Kong and subsequently
put in the hands of the Filipino SOL
diers, causing, as Mr.. Barrett believed,

that the government has discovered
privately the stages by which the anti
expansion address reached LuZon.
WASHINGTON, D. C-Senator Hoar
tonight declined to take any notice of
the statements attributed to Mr.. Bar
rett, ex-minister to Siam, in an adj
dress on the Philippine question. The

Gen. Methuen Insane.

CHICAGO, Jan. ia special cable
to the Tribune from London says:
Lieutenant General Lord Methuen,
commanding the column advancing to
the relief of Kimberley, is to be re-
lieveo of his command within two
weeks. Later he will be sent to Cape
town and eventually ordered home.
When he reaches England he will be
retired. These facts have been on
irmed by an official of the War Office.
Lord Methuen's case is a sad one.
Always a man of grand physiuqe-a
clever boxer and an all-round sports
man-his constitution began to show
signs of breaking down almost imme-
diately after he took command of his
division.
