THE PHILIPPINE WAR.


Manila. Feb. 6.-Brig. Gen. Kobbe's
expedition in the islands of Luz01
ieyte and Samar has occupied per-
manently and garrisoned nine towns
with the Forty-third and Forty
seventh regiments. This has placed
on the market 100000 bales of hemp.
A thousand insurgents armed with
rifles and over 5000 armed with wood
en- swords, bows and arrows, were
encountered during the entire trip.
The troops killed Is natives. The
American loss was one man killed and
nine men wounded The Americans
,abtured $4,000 in gold, the enemy's
money and 40 muzzle-loading brass
cannon. At Calbagog and Samar the
enemy evacuated the towns, the Amer
leans chasing, fighting and scattering
them to the mountains.
At Catbalogan. Lukban, the Taga-
'og general fired the place with kerr
,sene just before the Americans
landed and then fought with cannon
md rifles from the hills encircling
The town for two hours. When the
Filipinos were driven out the Amer
leans did their best to save the town,
fighting the fire for several hours.
Thirty stone and 90 other houses, han
the business portion Of the place,
were consumed. The soldiers pre-
'ented the fire from spreading.
At Takloban, Island Of Leyte, the
enemy evacuated the town and the
4 mericans pursued them to the hills.
Several fleeing non-combatahts were
killed, including three women.

sisted. Lieut.. Johnston and IL scouts

PHILIPPINE QUESTION
Senator Caffery Tells What He
Would Do with the Islands.
The HAGUE PEACE TREATY RATIFIED


Washington, Feb. 6.-Senator Calf
cry, of Louisiana, in a discussion Of
the Philippine question in the senate
yesterday, broke new ground in devel-
uping his position as an anti-expan-
sionist. In response to question as
to what, in the present circumstance,
he would do with the Filipinos, he
said with characteristic courage Of
conviction: Turn them loose as soon
as we can get rid of them. That
would be better for them and in
tinitely better for us" Senator Calf
ery's argument was mainly Il discus
sion of the constitutional question.
He maintained that the constitution
extends absolutely over the Filipinos
and that they were entitled to all
the rights and privileges of citizens
If the United States guaranteed by
The constitution. Without concluding
his speech, Senator Caffery yielded
the floor.
A resolution offered by Mr.. Pettus,
OF Alabama, inquiring of the secre-
tary of the navy If he had declined
to supply to the court OF claims in
formation relative to naval courts
martial, was passed.
Senator Carter reported from the
committee on territories the bill for
. civil code of Alaska and providing
for courts of that territory. Three
district courts with the necessary
officers and United States commits
sioners are provided for. Three in-
dicial districts are created. No del
egate In congress or territorial legis-
lature Is allowed under the bill.
The senate, in executive session,
ratified The Hague peace treaty, also
he extradition treaty with Argentine
republic. Both were adopted with
out objection or division.
The new treaty with Great Britain
elative to the building of the Mica
ragua canal was read in executive
session. Senator Davis, chairman OF
the committee on foreign relations,
moved to make the treaty public, as
it was subject in which all were
greatly interested. but after some
discussion it was decided to refer the
matter to the committee on foreign
relations before taking that step. The
comments OF senators upon the treaty
after hearing it read were favorable.
It was said to allow the United States
all the authority that was needed and
me neutrality of the canal was guar
anteed. as was the neutrality of the
Sues canal.

spencer Wiiklnson'a Prediction.

London, Feb. 5.-Spencer Wilkinson
in the Morning Post to-day predicts
that the war will end rightly in spite
of all bungling. He says: When
Lord Roberts is ready for the advance
new complexion will be put on the
campaign. There will be a strageticsl
idea, and as this idea gradually re-
veals itself what seemed an inextric-
abe tangle of difficulties will In time
present itself as a comparatively sim
pie problem" Then at great length,
Mr.. Wilkinson proceeds to criticise
"the great plumbers of policy, strategy
and tactics to which all the disasters
are directly attributable" He says:
"'rhe first mistake consisted in not
making the war preparations ade-
quate to the policy to be pursued and
in sending Sir George White to
Ladysmith with an army too small to
hold Natal. The second was the mis-
take in dispensing instead of con-
centrating Gen. Buffers forces The
third consisted of the attempts to
force prepared positions like Colen-
so. Something else Is due to the i'm
perfect peace training, which has al
lowed army manoeuvers in which
crowds Of men have fred at similar
crowds with blank cartridges in the
open at 300 yards distance. Those
mistakes, instead Of being repeated,
will be valuable lessons for the fus
ture."

Spencer Wilkinson's Appeal

London, Feb. 1.--Spencer Wilkin-
son, In the Morning Post, yesterday,
discussing the military situation,
takes 1t for granted that Gen. Butler
intends to make another attempt to
relieve Ladysmith. He seizes the oc-
casion to express the greatest admi-
ration for the dauntless spirit of the
British army and n regret that the
main thing is lacking, namely, proper
leadership. He says "rhe whole
manhood Of the nation is moved by
the same spirit as stirs the troops on
the rugela. Cannot the government
pluck up heart to lead like men a ma
ton OF men, to drop the past and TO
plan on proper scale, arming the
empire for whatever struggle may be
In st0re?"

London, Feb. 3. Kilograms flashed
from Ladysmith three days ago say
that the lIOer investment lines then
were thinning and that the besiegers
were moving in force toward the
Fugea, indicating that collision was
expected there. This intelligence
bears out other signs that Gen. Butler
purposes a fresh attack.
The war Office continues to reveal
nothing OF what has happened in Ma
tai. Without exception the military
critics regard with dismay the pros
pect of renewal of the assaults I'M
less Gen. Butler has been heavily re-
inforced, and there is nothing to indi.
cate that this is the case.
Lord Kitchener has been travelling
from army to army in northern Cape
Colony and Gen. French, by instruc-
tons is now in Cape Town consulting
with Lord Roberts. The large engi.
neering constructions are proceeding
at Modder river, suggesting that Lord
Methuen's fortified camp has been Sc.
lected as the base from which to in.
wade the Free State. Numerous sid.
ings, platforms and warehouses are
being built and permanent railway
bridge is well advanced.
1t appears beyond doubt that the
Free State burghers are becoming
tired Of the war and It is rumored
that some influential Free State lead.
ers have entered into secret negotia.

with a view OF ascertaining what

cen. BULLER'S Loss.
The Chronicle Estimates the Total
Casualties to Be Over 1000.
BULLER NAY MAKE ANOTHER Dash.


London, Feb, 1.-The supplemental
lists of casualties fill two columns in
nonparei type in the morning papers,
making 900 reported thus far for
Gen. Buffers operations north of the
Tugela. The Daily Chronicle esti-
mates that the total exceeds 1000.
The 40 per cent. loss at Spion kop is
greater than any British force ever
suffered, except possibly at Albuera,
Spain, in 1871.
The admiralty has warned all half
pay naval officers to hold themselves
in readiness for service. This, with
the fact that able seamen not thor
oughly experienced have been with
drawn from the channel squadron, is
taken to indicate the early mobiliza-
ton of the reserve feet.
A curious incident is related of the
fighting on January "a. One of the
Lancasters, while firing from the
prone position, had his head taken
clean off by shell. TO the amaze
ment of his comrades the headless
trunk quietly rose, stood upright a
few seconds and then fell.
, Gen. Butler May Make Another Dash.
London, Feb. 1.-The latest advices
from Ladysmith showing the exist
ence Of better conditions there than
generally believed to be the case have
been received with intense satisfac-
ton, though there Is no unreasoning
oyer-confidence, as may be judged
from the Pail Mall Gazette's remark:
"T.et MS, while preparing for the
worst, hope for the hest" The posi-
bility Of Gen. Butler making another
dash appears to depend greatly on the
exact position Of Gen. I.yttleton's
brigade. Beyond the understanding
that It Is on the north side Of the
Tugela river, everything is matter
OF supposition. II will easily be seen
that II Gen. l.yttleton still holds the
drifts on the north side Gen. Butler
retains the openings and might at
tempt another advance by way OF
Potgieter's or some neighboring drift.
Tho Battle Of spion Kop.
London, Feb. l.--Accounts Of the
battle Of Spion kop continue to filter
in. All testify to the terrific Boer
fire. Several estimate that the total
losses of Gen Buffers turning move
ment wi amount approximately to
1900. When achievements arrived
the troops were much cramped on the
top of Spion kop. Preparations were
made below to secure the position,
guns were on the way and engineers
had been ordered up to strengthen the
entertainments. Col. Thornycroft
was not aware Of this when he or.
dered the retirement; and he actu-
ally met the artillery coming up. II
is reported the 'oer commander at
first insisted on the release of some
Boer prisoners before he would per-
init the English. to collect their
wounded.
