PASSED SENATE

can bill passed the senate by vote Of 40
to 81.
Philippine Trouble a Myth.

Washington, April 3.-General Otis has
cabled to the war department, probably
with view to correcting the erroneous
Impressions that exist in this country as
to the state of insurrection in the Philip
pines a summary OF the rise of develop
ment of the campaign since the first of
the calendar yeGr. His figures go far to-
ward offsetting the belief that exists in
some quarters that since the addition of
guerilla methods of warfare the insur-
gents have inflicted substantial losses
upon the American armies in compare
son with the punishment which they have
themselves received.
A significant sentence in the report diff
ferentiates insurgents and Ladrones,
showing that Otis has taken cognizance
of the fact that considerable number Of
hostiles are not soldiers under the rules
Of war and may not expect the same
treatment.
