change of prisoners was responsible
for the naval disaster to- the govern.
ment. From them the srevolutienists
heard Of the plans of the government.
The .Lautaro's circulating pump was
! out or order and she had no steam up
when she was attacked by the Padilla.
The sPad1lla, which was recently
painted white, SO as to deceive the
government officers as to her identity,

300 metres from the Lautaro. .She
then began firing at the Lautaro. The
position OF the latter prevented her
from using her two big guns mounted
forward, but she returned the sPadilla's
fire with her small after guns. & Her
gunner, however, was the first man
killed. The foreign crew of the Lau-
taro refused to obey orders. General

Honolulu, Jan. 1o.-The labor unions

Secretary Of Agriculture Asks for an
Emergency Appropriation. -
Washington, Jan. 22-Owing to the
threatened interruption of American
meat exports to Europe, because of a
failure of government inspection, the
secretary of agriculture has sent to
the house of representatives a request
for an emergency appropriation of
$4,000 to carry forward the inspec-
lions conducted by the bureau of an
imal industry. Without this, he says
the microscopic inspections cannot
continue after March 1. The secretary
says: 1922
"The indirect effect of it's Temporary
interruption will be much more dam
aging to American interests than the
mere loss of the Continental export
trade for few months. It will result
in breaking commercial connections
and creating a bad impression in
countries to which our products are
sent" ~

Washington, Jan. 22.-For nearly
three hours the senate had under con.
sideration the Philippine tariff bill
The measure was made the unfinished
business and probably will hold that
position of preference until it shall
have been voted upon finally.
The debate was opened by Mr..
Lodge of Massachusetts, chairman of
the committee. on Philippines. He
sketched in free hand way the rea-
sons which had actuated the majority
in presenting the measure and urged
strongly it's enactment into law at an
early date He explained with some
minuteness the necessity for the leg
1slation embodied in the bill and con.
cluded with an appeal to the senate
and to congress to deal with questions
relating to the Philippines as they
might arise, and to keep clear of
vague words and wagner promises,
which were likely to be misinterpreted
and to raise false hopes in the minds
of the Filipinos. In an impassioned
peroration he besought congress not
to give mortgages on an unknown
future
Mr.. Rawlins of Utah delivered a
vigorous speech in support of the
minority substitute, in which indie.
pendence was promised to the Fill.

could be established in the Philippines.
His discussion of the general Philip

ground that has been gone over dur
ing the past two years. Throughout
he was accorded careful attention.
AS conclusion of the debate of the

criticised the secretary of war for an
alleged violation of the law in issuing
an order permitting vessels flying, a
foreign flag to participate in the com.

CORRECT AS FAR AS 1T WENT
Lord Cranborne's Statement So Recog.
nized at WASHINGTON.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The state de-
partment will not be drawn into the
controversy which has sprung up be-
tween the European powers respecting
the efforts made by them to prevent
the United States from going to war
with Spain. Lord Cranborne's state
ment in parliament is recognized as
absolutely correct as far as it went,
but there are chapters in the story
which he did lot touch upon, and it
is recognized here as inexpedient to
develop all the facts even now, lest
animosities spring UP without sufi-
cient reason. The frank statement of
Lord Cranborne touching Austria's
earnest efforts to prevent war caused
no resentment here, where it is real
lied that there were dynastic and SYM
palmetto reasons that justified, or at
least extenuated, the Austrian pur-
pose, ~
