CONGRESSIONAL.

The real struggle for insular legisla-
ton at this session began yesterday in
the Senate. The army appropriation
bill was under consideration and the
Philippine amendment was reached.
Ia addition the Cuban amendment
wss offered and then the general debse
on these propositions began.
Sharp opposition to the Philippine
amendment developed on the demo-
cratic side, beginning with point of
order which the Senate overruled, and
followed with speeches by Senators
TillmaD, Rswiins, Gallery, Bacon and
Morgan. The democrats denounced
the scheme Of the proposed sale OF lands
in the Philippines as provided for 10
the Spooner amendment ss plumber
ing OF the natives by band of of Ameri-
can robbers. Porto Rican affairs were
debated. The amendment was defend
en- by Its author, Mr.. Spooner, who
pointed out the necessity for legislation.
Senators Vest, Hosr, Bacon and Raw
Inns offered amen dments tending to
limit the powers conferred by the
5pooner amendment. Senator Morgan
made an extended speech, severely
criticising the proposed legislation. Az
evening session was held to allow time
to continue the debate.
The House jettisoned the authorize
tions for two ba;tleahips and two
cruisers which were in the naval appro-
pristion bill as it passed that body.
The Senate had rejected the PROPOSE
lion, aud against the appeals OF the
House conferees the House yesterday
voted by large majority to agree to
the Senate amendment striking out the
authorization. A partial conference re-
uort OF the naval bill was agreed to and
the bill went back to conference.
The House also agreed to the confer
ence report on the bill to create COM
mission OF five to adjudicate the claims
OF United States citizens against Spain
assumed by the United States under the
treaty of Paris. Just before adjourn
ment Mr.. Tswney, chairman OF the 81.
Louis Exposition committee, asked
unanimous consent to disagree to the
Senate amendments to the exposition
bill, but Mr. Shepherd, OF Texas, OBJ
jected.

THAT the intent of the republican ad'
ministration Is to retain possession OF
the island OF Cuba, is made plain. not
only by the report of the Platt commit.
tee to the q. g. Senate yesterday, but
also by the organization of syndicates
OF the Administrations fsvorites for the
purpose of buying large tracts of land
in Cuba, as it would be unreasonable to
suppose that a people who have been
fighting for their liberty for years,
having achieved, would unwillingly
surrender it, as they would do, by &C
knowledging that they hold it, not OF
their own right, but by the consent Of
another nation, and only by agreeing
to the debasing demands thereof; and it
is Just as plain that American friends OF
the administration, aware of its in.
teutions, would not be keen set upon
land speculation in Cuba, IL they were
not assured that their holdings there
would be under American protection.
No, the President may have been sim
care when he said the seizure nj Span
len possessions would be criminal sg-
erosion, but he has long since gotten
bravely over all that, and is now as firm
q believer in the idea that might makes
right as Rob Roy ever was.

Entombed in a Burning Mine.

Cheyenne. Wyo.. Feb: 28.-Fifty
miners and fifteen horses are reported
to be entombsd In the Dlamoudville
coal mine near Kemener. Only one
man Of those in the mine, John Ander-
soo, e. capped. The disaster was caused
by fire of unknown origin which cut
off escape OF all except Anderson, who
was working near the mouth of the
level. 1t was by only narrow
margin that be managed to reach
the main lead. By throwing q
heavy coat over bis head and shoulders
he pushed his way through the flames
and when helped up by friends he was
frightfully burned and completely ex-
hansted. Strenuous efforts Immediate
ly were made to rescue those left be-
hind, but to no purpose. There hardly
IL question that they have persisted.
About the mouth OF the mine are gath
cred the mothers and wives of the i'm
prisoned miners and their wailipg is
terrible to hear.

ALL the newly conquered provinces
afford convenient and favorable scenes
for the operation of smugglers, and their
little rakish schooner rugged vessels are
as numerous in the bags, quays and
inlets of the new American provinces
as they even were when smuggling was
prosperous in other protected coun-
tries. Where the people are inimicsl to
the government, and profits are
large, and opportunities are favorable,
there is no reason why smuggling
should not be carried on extensively
and why smugglers should not be popu-
