Senator Cullom, chairman OF the Conn
mlttee on Foreign Rotations, made q
brief speech in the middle OF Senator
Morgan's address. It was devoted to an
explanation of the terms Of tho treaty.
Mr. Cullum gave especial attention to
the criticism Senator Morgan had made
on article 2S, placing the control Of tho
canal In charge OF the Government Of
Colombia in case OF trouble, and said
that us the canal penetrates Colombian
territory, the arrang e1nent was equt-
able Moreover, he thought 1t would be
impossible to secure Colonb1a's sanction
OF the treaty under any other arrange
unent.
When an adjournment was suggested
at 63O O'Clock, Senator Morgan said
that he would be prepared to go on all
night II required to do SO. but Senator
Cullom replied that he had no Intention
of making such exaction. On the con-
trary, he added. he was ready to close
the days session at that time, but he
was anxious to continue tomorrow.
Senator Morgan was agreeable, but
Senator Quay objected. saying that he
could not at this time Yield. Senator
Morgan gave notice Of thirty proposed
amendments to the treaty. The first
of these amendments Of general i'm
portance to the body Of the treaty is
to article 2.
It provides for the ownership Of the
canal by the United States instead OF
a lease for hundred years, to be re-
newed each century afterwards, as pro-
vided by the treaty as sent to the Sen
ate.
Article 3 Is to be SO amended MS to
have the canal zone include the cities
of Panama and Colon which are ex-
cluded in the official draft OF the treaty.
The provision for the joint committee
Of the United States to enforce police
and sanitary regulations is abolished,
and tfnS work IS placed IN the eXclu-
sive control Of the United States
Article 4 is so altered to remove the
peldge on the part of the United States
not to increase its territory at the ex-
pense Of any Of the Central American
republics. The pledge with reference
to Colombia stands.
Article %, which In the official text
provides for the calling in OF the United
States forces at Colombia's instance, for
the protection of the canal. Is left
with a plain provision requiring the gov
eminent of Colombia to assume this
duty. To that provision the follow
ing Is added:
THE United States shall have the
right at all times In its discretion to
use Its police and It's land and naval
forces for these purposes.

Private Moves. who were killed May 10
at Sucatlan. Mindanao, met their death
at the hands Of insurgent prisoners
whom they were guarding. Their com

Captain Overton's troop of the FlI-
teenth had been scouting in the de-
partment of the Mismisis. Mindanao'
on the trail of the insurgent leader
Flores. The cavalryrnen captured h1ty
of Flores followers and confined them
in a house at Sucatlan. Captain over
ton and two men remained to guard
the prisoners. while Lieutenant Gamer
son continued in pursuit of Flores. The
prisoners suddenly broke out of the
house where they were confined, Sc
cured their bOlOs and rushed the four
Americans on guard Captain Oyerton
was sIashed with a bOlO and bled 10
death. After escaping. the insurgents
gathered and renewed the attack on the
Americans. The cavalryman who was
not wounded repulsed the enemy and
defended the dead bodies until the re-
turn Of Lieutenant Cameron. Captain

Flores is a Visayan and the majority
of his followers are Paganos living IN
the Mismisis mountains No Moros
