THE PHILIPPINE BILL
Senator Foraker Speaks in Favor
Of the Measure.
BILL TO help VOLCANO SUFFERERS.


Washington, May 13.-An impor
tant contribution to the discussion
of the Philippine government bill was
made in the senate yesterday by Sen.
ator Foraker, of Ohio. lie main
tanned that the United States could
not leave the islands until order had
been restored and until stable gov
eminent had been established. He
declared that this government would
not come away from the islands un-
der the present or the next admins
tration, even though the latter be
democratic, because the American
people never would consent to
poltroonery. Senator Foraker read
some editorials from the Denver
News, OF which Senator Patterson,
Of Colorado, is the proprietor. The
editorials maintained that the United
States must retain control Of the
Philippines and put down the insur-
rection among the Filipinos. With
keen sarcasm the Ohio senator de-
clared that the editorials did not
read as did Senator Patterson's
speeches read now. Senator Foraker
held that the policy adopted in the
Philippines was ono Of the kindest
and gentlest possible and in strict
accordance with the instructions Of
President Mckinley. He declared
that the minority had attacked the
army from the commanding general
to the humblest privste-all because
the army had resented outrages,
without parallel In cruelty, committed
by the Filipinos. The American
army, he said, had shown a human
ity unsurpassed in history. The
American people always had stood |
by their army and they always would. |
The senate concurred in the house
amendment to the bill making an ap-
preparation Of 100000 for the relief
Of the people Of the French West In
dies.
The bill providing for the construc-
tion OF union railroad station in
was under considerat ton
and 1t was agreed that q vote should
be taken upon 1t on Thursday.
The house yesterday passed by an
overwhelming vote bill granting
100000 for the relief Of the sufferers
n the great calamity in the West In
lies. The bill was a substitute for
he relief measure passed by the SEN
lte and followed the receipt of a
Message from the president setting
orth the magnitude Of the calamity
md urging an appropriation of $780,
100. A special meeting Of the appro-
'riation committee was held to "a
ilitate action on the bill and It was
eported to the house within a short ,
line after the receipt OF the presi-
ent's message. Mr. Heminway, the
citing chairman Of the appropriation
ommittee, explained that the amount !
vas limited to 100000, owing to the I
net that large private contributions |

NEELY'S CASE.
C0"nsel Claims Exiradilion Of
Accused Was Illegal.

Havana. Feb. 26-In the trial OF the
Cuban postoffice fraud cases Senior Zayas
began his argument I'm behalf of Charles
+. w. Neely yesterday. He said he
would discredit w. H. Reeves, former
deputy auditor, in such a way that his
testimony should have no weight. The
prosecutions case rested, he said, large
ly on evidence bearing the government
stamp official reports and facts and
figures furnished by Washington. yet the
reports of the secretary Of war and those
OF the postmaster general of receipts and
expenditures in the department of Cuba
showed difference of $4,000 in expendi-
lures, while the experts reports diff
fered from both OF the others.
He spoke at length on the extradition
of Nicely and said the case was illegal
from the start. Under Spanish law he
contended, the court had no right TO ask
for the extradition OF Neely.
THE fiscal has claimed" concluded
Senior Zayas, that the United States
postal code covers the case but that code
cannot annul our laws on extradition."
