Raynor Hints at Civil Action.
BALTIMORE, Nd, Dec. 15.-Rear Ad-

eral Raynor that he is ready to take any
action with reference to his case that
Raynor may advise. Raynor expects to
meet the admiral in Washington to-mor-
row OF Tuesday. When asked whether he
favored Congressional investigation,
Raynor said:
Il doubt whether a proceeding of this
sort is the proper one. 1t generally ass
sumes a political aspect. At this time I
am of the opinion that matters should
be prosecuted in the courts. There are
plenty of ways in which this can be done
and this week we will begin to consult and
determine upon our course of action
Among the kilograms Raynor has re-

gentleman in another State, who asked
that his identity be kept secret, with an
offer of $4,000 for the necessary expenses

REJECTS PORTION
OF CHILE'S NOTE
Argentine Republic to
Forward It's Reply
To-Day.

BUENOS AYRES, Dec 15.-Although
the situation between Argentina and
Chile has improved, il has not yet been
clearly defined. The Council of Argentina
has spent much time in studing' the two
paragraphs Of the Chilean note which de-
fines that country's position and an agree
ment upon which will mean the solution
of the pending difficulty. Its reply VIII be
forwarded tomorrow.
The council has decided to accept the
first paragraph concerning the construc-
ton of roads. This paragraph is satisfac-
tory to the Argentine Republic. The COM
nilation of the second paragraph, refer
ring to the pretended occupation by the
Argentine Republic of Chilean territory at
Ultima Esperanza, is not acceptable to the
Minister'S The assurance is given that the
Argentine Government, replying to this
nara graph will answer that 1t is impoSsi-
BILE for it to recognize an ct which, after
in yestigation, has been dlsproVed.
The hope prevails here that everything
will be arranged on friendly basis within
a few days. 1t is believed that Chile will
insist upon presenting an insignificant
claim for the invasion of Chilean terri
tory by three Argentine policemen
Argentina continues taking military
measures. Men of wealth are offering the
Government money with which to buy
horses and otherwise equip, should occa-
sion arise, a regiment of cavalry. Public
opinion throughout the entire country Is
expressing its patriotic approval of the
Governments conduct. The people remain
quiet.
The Government has decided to divide
the republic into six military zones, with
10000 men in each The arms and equip
ment for these men are already on hand
in the respective zones. Over and above
the reserves called out last week, $1,000
volunteers have presented themselves for
service. In case of necessity, the Govern
ment has reserves which would enable it
to mobolize IN army of 1000 men.
PARIS, Dec. 15.-The Temps, reviewing
the dispute between the Argentine Repub-
lie and Chile, says that what complicates
the question is the vigilance, not to say
jealousy, with which the United States
remains faithful to the two-edged Monroe
doctrine, which excludes all other inter-
vention, while justifying its own, and
watches for the interference of Great
Britain or other powers in the affairs Of
South America.
La Liberte declares that an Argentina
Chilean war would just suit the American
Imperialism and that it would entirely suit
the designs of those working to pervert
the Monroe doctrine.

fact that several members of the COM

Senators are In favor of having the re-

would be regarded by Senator Morgan as

such.
Senators who are incensed at the man
ner in which the report was made do
not look at ii in that light They say
that they are not committed to either

the expenditure Of S1S9 600 000, ought at
least TO wait until the report OF the last

than Sl,O0O,000. has been printed and

CALL BUREAU. 1905 G STREET. N.
W., WASHINGTON, Dec 15.-But the
single word Approved" written below
the findings of the Schley court of in
quiry signed by Admiral Dewey as presi-
dent, will probably comprise the action
which will be taken thereon by Secretary
Long. Admiral Dewey's individual ex-
preston of opinion that Schley maintained
an effective blockade at Cienfuegos and
Santiago. proceeded with all dispatch
from Key West to Cienfuegos and from
Cienfuegos to Santiago and was in su-
preme command in the battle with Ger
vera's fleet, will require no action, and
it is not believed that Secretary Long
will consider it part of his duty to either
approve or disapprove it. Aside from the
exceptions noted, Admiral Dewey has
agreed with his colleagues on the court
as to Rear Admiral Schley,s disobedience
ETC., so that it is held by subordinate OF
ficials of the Navy Department that 1t
is Secretary Longs duty to conhne any
views he may express to the opinion ad-
vanced by the court and signed by the
admiral as president.
Congressional Action Unlikely.
Secretary Long does not propose to act
hastily, but he will certainly dispose of
the matter before the end Of the week
this action will conclude all investigation
of Rear Admiral Schley and of the con-
duct of the navy during the war with
Spain. The mutterings of Rear Admiral
SIMPSONS friends over Admiral Dewey s
opinion will pass unheeded. Even the re-
quest for court of inquiry will not be
considered. The sense of Congress, de-
veloped by consideration of the findings.
has established that both the Senate and
the House are opposed to a Congressional
investigation.
So with Secretary Longs action, will
close officially the Schley-Sampson con-
troversy. 1t was suggested to-day that.
Notwithstanding the recommendations of
the court that there be no further pro-
ceedings, Secretary Long will order a
courtmartial to try Rear Admiral Schley.
There is authority for the statement that
the Secretary has no thought of such ac-
ton. In his opinion the morale of the ser
vice will be immeasurably improved by
close of the controversy, and he will

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15-The disposi-

ness beyond acting upon the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty before adjournment for the
holidays. In accordance with the agree
ment on Friday the treaty will be voted
on before the Senate adjourns tomorrow.
Senator Teller will make the first speech
of the day tomorrow, and he will be fol-
lowed by other Senators with brief
speeches. The opponents of the treaty
admit there is no doubt of ratification.
On Tuesday the announcement of the
changes in committees will be made, and
there is a probability that after this an
nOuncement the Senate will adjourn until
Thursday. when the adjournment for the
holidays will take place, extending to
January 6. If there are business sessions

ton on his bill authorizing the acquisition

The House this week will pass the bill
to provide temporarily revenues for the
Philippine Islands, which was reported
from the Ways and Means Committee last
Friday. Under the agreement made gen.
eral debate will extend throughout Tues
day and until 4 o'clock Wednesday, when
vote will be taken.
There will be no opportunity to amend
the measure. There will be no break in
the party lines on both sides of the
House. Mccall of Massac chusetts, the Re-
publican member of the Ways and Means
Committee who opposed the Porto Rican
bill during the last Congress, will speak
against the measure, and will be support
ed in his dissent from his Republican col
leagues by Littlefield of Maine and per-
haps several other Republicans who op-
posed the Porto Rican bill and who hold
that a similar issue is presented at this
time. On the Democratic side Robertson,
a member of the Ways and Means Com
mittee. will support the bill, and the re-
mainder of the Louisiana delegation will
do likewise. Representing the cane sugar
interests of their State, they are opposed
TO concessions on sugar duties either from
the Philippines or Cuba. The general be-
lief is that the bill will secure as many
Democratic votes as 1t loses votes the
Republican side, and that the majority
in its favor when placed upon passage
will be about the Republican majority in
the House.
