DEBATING THE NAVAL BILL.
Amendment Of Mr.. Quarles as to Train
ing Station Adopted.

The naval bill occupied the attention of
the Senate Saturday afternoon, practically
until the time of adjournment, the discus
sion dealing with general topics of interest.
such as the Russo-Japanese war, affairs
In Cuba, &c.
After The Stars report Of the proceed
irgs was closed Mr. German congratulated
Mr.. Hale upon his conduct of naval leg.sla-
ton in the Senate. Up to the present time
there had been no division on party lines.
AS for himself, he always had expressed his
sentiments freely without regard to party
lines. He criticised Mr.. Moody as inn
prudent In charging the democratic party
with partisanship because Of his (Mr. Cor
man's) attitude He had spoken for him
self in saying the administration was adj
vancing too rapidly and had gone too fer
in the increase of the navy.
Executive officers said Mr.. German,
slowly and with deliberate emphasis.
would serve their country better If they
attended to the details of their offices and
ahstained from criticisms Of senators and
members of Congress"
Mr.. Carmack referred to Mr.. Depew's de-
Tense of the retention of the Philippines,
and quoted previous utterance by that
senator taking an opposite position.
Mr.. Depew rose, saying: THAT Chauncey
but simply a New Yorker, making speeches
almost every night and giving very little
thought to them. After studying the
question he had changed his views. With
Daniel Webster, he would say that only
wise men could change their opinions. He
also said that he had originally been a
democrat and that his first impressions
were generally democratic.
Mr.. Carmack read an extrac. from 4
newspaper saying that $435.000 had been
expended for the purpose of keeping the
two pleasure yachts, the Mayfiower and the
Sylph, in condition for the Presidents use.
Mr.. Bacon asked what evidence had been
furnished Congress that Guantanamo,
Cuba. had been coded to the United States.
Mr.. Hale knew of no actual cession, but,
he said. the United States was in possession
and was going on with the completion of
the naval station.
Mr. Nelson then took the floor to reply to
Mr. Hale, who, he said, had taken him to
task for violating the principles of neutral
ity because he had said that our COM
mercial interests were common to those OF
Japan.
The amendment proposed by Mr.. Quarles
to the committee amendment for a nav;ss
station on the great lakes was then taken
up.
Mr. Hopkins moved to lay it on the table.
That motion was voted down, the amend
ment to the amendment accepted and the
original amendment as ameD1ed agreed to.
The naval bill was then laid aside.
Mr.. Foraker gave notice that Thursday,
March 81 ne would ask the Senate to con
slider resolutions of respect for the late
Senator Hanna.
At 5:35 the Senate adjourned

WILL EvACUATE NIUCHWANG.
Russians Repairing Damage to Their
Ships at Port Arthur.

cablegram from Niuchwang last night
says: The latest arrivals from Port Arthur
confirm the report of damage to the west
ern forts by the bombardment from Pigeon
bay. Desultory night firing continues. The
civilian population is being expelled. A train
has been derailed by obstruction on the
rails. No further damage has been in
ficted on Russian ships, and the Askold
has been .fioated. Mr. Gilchrist expects to
be able to save the Retvizan. The attempt
to construct a dock for the szarevitch has
been abandoned. Niuchwang will be evacu-
ated except for some cavalry pickets.
Damage to Notifications.
That considerable damage within the for
tihcations has been caused by the Japanese
fire from Pigeon bay is corroborated by the
refugees Street traffic in Port Arthur, the
refugees say, is largely confined to the am
munition carts. All the forts have been
provided with naval signal officers for the
purpose of identifying Russian ships and
preventing the forts from firing on them
when they arrive.
The derailment of one car yesterday north
of Dalny by an obstacle on the track de-
layed the trains for fifteen hours, and
serious accident was only averted by the
low speed at which the train was running

CubaH Schools Costly.

In a recent report to the Department of
Commerce and Labor, made through the
State Department United States Minister
H. G. Squiers at Havana. Cuba, says the
report of the general auditor of Cuba for
the period extending from May 20, 1902,
to June 80, 1903. shows that the actual re-
ceipts of the republic, with the exception of
postal money orders and minor forms of in
direct taxation amounted to siS,0o7,302
while the expenses of the government
amounted to but $l5,9S3646 The most ex-
pensiye departments of the government
were those of the interior and public in
struction, whose expenses amounted, re-
spectively, to $3.9e1 1891 and IS ,349 The
expenses of the department of state and
Justice amounted to only 81, 1s020s, which
is probably accounted for by the profitable
working of the Cuban consular service.

ARMED FORCE IN CHINA.
Reported That Russian Troops Are sta

cablegram from Picking last night says:
The Times correspondent has Just re-
turned from a tour of inspection of the
railway outside the great Chinese wall be-
tween the -Niuchwang rail-
way and the branch % Hsin-mintun. The
region traversed by this railway lying b.
tween the great wall and the Lao river
was restored to China by Russia In Octo-
Der, 1902. China desires that 1t be treated
as her territory and its neutrality respected
by both belligerents. Russia declines to
respect Its neutrality, since from it she Is
drawing supplies Of cattle. foodstuffs and
forage
Russia has stationed two military posts
In the district and Is patrolling 1t nearly
to the great wall with cavalry. who billet
themselves on the villages, and LIS forbid
den China to station troops anywhere in
the district. Yet she holds China response
bic. for any disorder that may occur Nat
urally this action will compel Japan to dis
regard the neutrality of the section.
Guards Using Blackmail
Each station on the railway has two sets
of guards. one composed of Yuan Shihkais,
foreign drilled soldiers, who are men of
good character and well disciplined, and
the other composed of troops sent by the
Tseegcai tartar, Gen. Murden. an undis-
ciplined rabble, who blackmail the people
they are supposed to protect. OF the latter
body each soldier bears time disc showing
his license as soldier by Russia and a
rifle stamped with number and the Rus
sian SEAL Russia permits the rabble to re-
main, but forbids any increase in the num-
Der OF orderly soldiers and wants China
to withdraw those already there.
Russians Guard Telegraph.
At the Chinese railway terminus at
Niuchwang, picket Of twenty-five Rus
slams guard the telegraph line connecting
the Russian legation at Picking with tee-
graph stations along the Manchurian rail-
way. The Russians have seized the tele-
phone. which Is the only direct means of
communication with the foreign settlement
across the border. The Russians, while
using this treaty port as base for draw
ing supplies, are intriguing, though in
military occupation, to have the port de-
clared neutral by the powers. This is their
most vulnerable point, and such action
would be serious wrong to Japan.
