SENATE DEBATE
 RACED F|ERCELY
BeVeridge Makes Sharp Stric-
 lures on the Opposition

Washington, May 6.-For almost four hours today fierce discussion of the Philippine situation raged in the Senate. It was started by MT. Beveridge of Ir- diana, who made some sharp strictures on the members of the opposition, be- cause, as he said, they persisted in tell ing in their speeches only one side of the story. MT. Carmack and Mir. Rawlins warmly resented any imputation of un- fairness.
 Mir. Turner of Washington delivered a scathing criticism of the methods prac- ticed by the military in the Philippines, dwelling particularly upon the alleged or der of General Smith, whom he de- nounced as a monster in human form.
 MT. Hoar, Massachusetts, defended the action of the Philippines committee. He urged that the committee, In all justice, should call some prominent Filipinos to testify in their own behalf.

Senator Kittridge, who is the leader of the majority of the isthmian canal bill in oppositioi to the Nicaraguan route states emphatically that his infor- nation is positive that the Nicaraguan bill will not be passed. and that the only action likely to be taken by the Senate will be to pass a substitute for the Hep burn bill expressing a preference for the Panama route, and incorporating the Spooner amenomert. which refers the choice of routes to the President

NlVd Report On N0I Come.
Officers Praised For Their Work
Results Of The Operations.

In his report to the Secretary of the
Navy upon the combined operations
between the Army and Navy, Admiral
Higginson is generous in his distrib.
utions of, praise among the officers OF
the squadron, and especially does he
commend Rear-Admiral Coghlan. His
leading the squadron into Newport at
night through binding searchlights,
smoke, and against strong current, is
pronounced to have been brilliant
piece of navigation. Credit is awarded
to Capt, Lyon of the Olympia, for his
cable-cutting operations, and to Capt.
Bronson of the Alabama. and Captain
Manney of the Massachusetts, for their
work. In regard to the operations
themselves Admiral Higginson says.
THE whole and only intention was
to develop if possible, any week points
in the line Of defence established of the
army, but whether we have done SO or
not remains to be decided by the board
of Arbitration. This work has been
arduous and trying, including much
night navigation, and I cannot speak
too highly of the way in which it has
been carried out by the officers aud
men of the squadron.
The Admiral comments upon some
of the lessons to be learned from the
manoeuvrcs. For instance, he says:
Much valuable kno Wedge, in regard
to searchlights has been obtained dur.
ing these operations, and the general
opinion seems to be that they are not
SO effective as has been supposed. In
approaching positions at night the search
lights would flash very often upon the
ships lighting up smoke-stacks, and
hull SO that large print could easily be
read, and every one supposed the ships
had been discovered but the search
lights would turn away and evidently
the observers had not seen the. vessels
In rainy or misty weather, the value of
