Washington, May 20-For a third time within a week the House has instructed its conferees on matters of dispute be- tween the Senate and House today.

Cannon Qlls.). chairman of the Appropriations Committee. It was resisted by Mir. Hull chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs and the somewhat spirited debate which followed developed antagonism be- tween the committees The amendment at which Mir. Cannon aimed was that which increased the appropriation for military posts from three to four mil lion dollars.
 The House today agreed to the con- ference report on the omnibus claims bill, which passes the measure. The urgent deficiency bill also was passed. The army appropriation blll with Senate amendments was called up and con- ference ordered. Previous to the an- nouncement of the conferees Mir. Cannon offered a resolution which was adopted that the managers on the part of tho House at the conference on the dis agreeing votes of the two houses be irl- structed not to recommend an agreement or submit 10 any nOullcduOu VI tho amendment that will under authority of the army appropriation bill permit build ing at established military posts except as authorized by the revised statutes.
 MT. Hull, MT. Capron and Mir. Hay were appointed conferees. Mir. Hit Qll) Sent to the clerks desk the follow ing resolution and asked for i'm. -.edlate consideration:
 Resolved. by the House of Represen- tatives of the United States of America. that this House views with satisfaction and expresses congratulations at the ap- pearance this day of the Cuban republic among the nations of the world"
 The resolution was unanimously adopt ed.

BACON MAKES COMPARISON
Senator Spooner Detends
 Army in Archipelago.
lrr. Hoar of Massachusetts says the Herding of Tilipinos is m Out rage-work of Senate.
 and House.

Washington. May so.-The subject of the concentration of the inhabitants in tho Philippines into camps was . leading tcrr ic of the discussion of the Philtpplnss bill in the Senate today. Mr. Bacon (Ga) attacked the policy of concentration. hk- ening 1t to the reconcentrado camps e. tabIished by General weyier in Cuba.
 MT. Foraker (ohio) defended the actte9 of the military authorities.
 Mir. Hoar (Mass, spoke briefly in Iine with Mir. Bacon.
 MT. cIapp Cdinn., urged that the BilI- pinos ought to be taught to admire sn4 respect the United States.
 Mir. Bacon thought the disposition C the public lands in the Philippines shoul4 be subject. to the approval of Congress. He said that If we have the high ana noble purpose of giving the FiIipinoS q free government-whether partial or Ab7 solute-ther now is the time for Con gress to act upon that purpose.
 Mir. Bacon declared that the man Wto cenounces the crtrages committed in tho Philippines and declares they are un- worthy of the army. is the defender of the army. He puts all responsibility on those who have authorized and justified
 
 A Reconcentration Camp.
 Mir Bacon read letter from an army officer. for whom he vouched. and whom he knew personally. describing in vivid language a reconcentrado comp. The Iet- ter said this camp was located in soggy place. where rain fell continually and outside of which every living thing was shot. In that camp there were thirty cases of smallpox and i've eases were. added each Cry. Clouds of vampire bats circled softly over the place. awaiting camp was Hike some suburb of hell.v
 While a colloquy was in pr0gre0 cga~ cerning the word recommendation" Mr. Spooner indicated that it did not mean in the Philippines what 1t meant under the Spanish rule in Cuba
 "The Senator from Wisconsin," sus- gested Mir. Carmack. wants to Ameri- canizethe words as he has the policy 1t representa-.
 "weil, ' retorted Mir. spooner. ..the Sem ator from Tennessee Is wittier than he Is wise" tApplause).
 Mir. Foraker attempted to show that the concentration camps in the Philip pines were not like those in Cuba under General Weyley. Since April IS. the peo- pie in the camps. Mir Foralxer explained. had been allowed to leave.
 Mir. Hoar said everybody knew and 1t was useless to try to disguise the fact. that it was difficult to get the army of- ficers to testify as to matters which re- fiected on the administration of a war. He protested against concentration camps and the "outrages" which had been per petrated upon the Filipinos and the at tempt to crush Filipino independence
 MT. Clapp tMinn.) contended that as an object lesson of Americas fostering care s.R ~-A. H. lA- =. public of Cuba ought to be held up to the view of the Fiiipnos and not picture of achievements and colonization.

business community in the proposition
of sending an exhibit from the Terri
tory to the Louisiana Purchase Expo
sition. called in at the Bulletin office
this forenoon for the purpose OF com
munlcating the welcome information

main longer in Honolulu than he had
planned at first. MI Barrett said:
Il have postponed MY departure by

hotel this evening in honor of the
movement which has for its object the
participation of Hawaii in the Louis
lana Purchase Exposition. The din
ner will not be n particularly large one
and will be confined to government
officials and those connected with the
movement which was set on foot at the
Capitol soon after my arrival, as well
as a few personal friends. There will
be a few toasts in harmony with the
occasion but there will be no set
speeches of any kind.
During the past week. have talked
with great many of your most i'm.
pOrtant business men and find that they
are unanimous in the opinion that
Hawaii should send a good exhibit to
the Exposition. have found none
who are not enthusiastic over the
| proposition. Things are getting into
good shape, all the indications are IA,
vorable, and have great hopes Of Ill
innate success. The matter of ways
| and means will be discussed and prob.
ably decided on finally at the meeting
to be held in the Office of c. NJ. Cooke
Bank of Hawaii. Friday afternoon.
