Message OF President Sets the eenatorS
TO SpecuIat'nr.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.--The brief
recommendation in the message of the
president seEt 20 the senate today,
urging immediate legislation in the
interest Of the Philippines, caused
general surprise among the senator's
and speculation Oh the probability of
an extra session of congress immedi-
ately after March 3.
Senators generally have received,
they say, no intilnation from the
White House that an extra session
would be desirable, but they unite in
saying nc Philippine legislation is
possible during the remainder Of the
present term.
The Spooner bill, vesting all power
OF the government in the Philippines
archipelago in the president, is the
only Philippines general bill. 1t is
believed that whenever an earnest eff
fort is made to secure legislation
bearing on this subject much time
will be required. Some senators also
express the opinion that legislation
may lie necessary in the Cuban situ-
alton, and while there are differences
Of opinion. all agree that if such ac-
ton would become necessary it would
be impossible to secure it at this ses-
sion.

FIliPINOS ASK FOR A DELAY

from Taxation.
MANILA, Jan. 25-The hearing on
the municipal government bill today
developed an attempt on the part OF
prominent Filipinos to secure delay
OF two years before taxing land where
the owners are unable to cultivate on
account Of the dangerous situation in
the fighting territory. The bill orig
inally deferred taxation for year.
The commissioners adopted an
amendment providing that land own
ers who are not implicated in the in
surrection after March and prove that
the unsettled conditions prevented
working land be exempted for the
second year.
Lieutenant Steele, with ten men OF
the Forty-third regiment and seven
native soldiers, fought a fierce half
hours engagement with a large force
Of Filipinos at Tenaguna, island Of
Leyte, January 9. which resulted in
the killing Of over 100 insurgents.
Private Edward McGugie of Company

FAVORS THE SPOONfR BILL.
Filipinos Uurge Legislation for Perman-
ent Form of Government.

MANILA, Jan. 2S.-The executive
committee of the federal party has
filed a petition requesting the Philip
pine commission to urge upon Presi-
dent Mckinley that the passage of the
Spooner bill by congress is an urgent
necessity, as the progress of the archi-
pelago demands an authority which
can legislate and control the incor-
poration Of concerns, regulate mining
claims, dispose Of public lands and
perform other functions not vested in
either the military or executive au-
thorities.
The petitioners state that the time
is ripe for a general civil government,
the establishment of which will win
over those favoring the insurrection
while, at the same time, it will encour-
age the natives to subscribe in favor
of the settled government in the Phil
ippines under American sovereignty.
Therefore they urge that the Spooner
bill, which empowers President McKiI-
ley, in his discretion, to declare the
insurrection ended and to establish a
civil government, be passed by the
present congress.
