GOVERNMENT OF PHILIPPINES
The Senate Committee Continues to
Work on the Bill.

The Senate committee on the Philippines
today continued it's discussion of the Phil
1ppine government BILL taking up the Ques-
ti0ns of proceedings in the courts and mu-
nicipal Indebtedness. The provision in re-
gard to appeals from decisions of the su-
preme court Of the archipelago to the Su-
preme Court Of the United States was
amended SO as to permit them in cases in
which the value of property involved ex-
ceeds So. 600
Authority was given to municipalities to
contract a bonded Indebtedness to the ex-
tent of per cent of their assessed valua-
tlon for the purpose of making public i'm
provements. This provision is general, but
a special clause was inserted giving to the
city of Manila the privilege Of exceeding
this Indebtedness to the extent of $4,000, ,OGO
for the purpose of nstitutng sewer sys-
TEN in that city.
The portion of the bill referring to fran
chises was read, but no action was taken.
Considerable of the time of the meeting
was devoted to a discussion Of an amend
ment suggested by Senator Rawlins provid-
ing for appeals to the United States Su-
preme Court in habeas corpus cases, but no
action was taken upon it. The questions
relating to friars' lands and the reguia ton
of the mineral laws We're passed over on
account of the absence of some of the
members of the committee.

MAY REGAIN HIS PLACE.
Understood That Capt. Coghlan Will
Be Advanced Five Numbers.

1t is understood that Capt, Jos. B. Cogh-
Ian Of "Hoch der Kaiser fame Is about
to be advanced five numbers on the list
Of naval captains, through the remission
by the President of part of the sentence of
a court-martial from which he is now suf-
ferIng. Years ago, when the captain was
a junior officer he clashed with the detail
officer of the Navy Department, and for
writing sharp letter. was court-martialed
and sentenced to lose eleven numbers in
his grade.
BY the special act rewarding the captains
or the United States fleet engaged in the
battle Of Manila bay, Captain Coghlan re-
gained some Of the lost numbers, and he
now seeks to 'be completely reinstated in
the place on the naval list which he would
have occupied save for this indiscretion
This would place Captain Coghlan second
on the list of naval captains just below
Captain Sands, jumping him over Captains
Clark, Cook. Wise and Stirling, and he
would become rear admiral in the course
of the year through the .retirements of Ad-
mirals Remey and Farquhar.

TO DISCUSS CUBA.
Important Conference to Be Held Here
Tomorrow.

An important conference will be held in
this city tomorrow in regard to Cuban af-
fairs between Governor-General Wood and
the President and the Secretary of War
1t is probable that Mr.. Palma, president
elect Of Cuba, who is expected to be in
this city tomorrow, will also be invited to
confer with the President in regard to the
proposed transfer of the government of
the island to his charge. Gen. Wood was
specially summoned to Washington by the
President to arrange for the transfer. If
it can be arranged it is the policy of the
administration to relinquish active control
Of affairs in Cuba by the 1st of May. All
the military and civil officers of the United
States connected with the administration
of affairs in Cuba now busily engaged
in closing up the business affairs Of their
respective Offices with a view to the trans
fer of all property and accounts to their
duly chosen successors.
1t is expected that final arrangements
for the REIMBURSEMENT of American mill
tary control in Cuba will be perfected dur
ing the next week or SO as result of con-
ferences with Gen. Wood and President
elect Palma. During his visit to this city
Gen. Wood will undoubtedly be consulted
by the republican leaders in Congress in
regard to economic conditions of Cuba
especially with reference to the legislation
necessary to relieve the sugar and other
commercial interests in the island.
