making desperate efforts to intel

That he has in a measure succeeded

that Kuropatkin will be able to eH-

the fighting has been OF desperate
character, with heavy losses on both
sides.

VOTE ON PARTY LINES

The Senate committee on foreign rela-
tions today agreed to report faVorably the
Santo Domingo treaty as amended. The
vote was on party lines, every republican
voting for the treaty and every democrat
voting against it. All members of the com
mittee were present and the vote stood:
For the treaty-Cullom Frye. Lodge,
Clark CWyo.), Foraker, Spooner and Kean.
Against the treaty-Morgan, Bacon, Mon
ey, Clark (Mont) and McCreary.
There is one vacancy on the committee,
caused by the election of Senator Fairbanks
to the vice presidency.
All of the amendments agreed upon yes
terday were formally adopted and one ad-
ditional amendment which was offered to-
day was accepted. The latter was one of
phraseology merely
1t changes the last clause of article seven,
in which it is declared that the present tar
in and port duties may not be reduced ex-
cept with the consent of the President of
the United States so long as the whole of
the debt which the United States govern
ment takes charge of shall not have been
completely paid. In the original protocol
the Dominican government was prohibited
from increasing its export duties or its pub
lie debt without like consent of this gov
ment. That provision has been amended
to read follows:
shall not be increased without the consent
of the President of the United States
Mr. Morgan's Resolution Rejected.
Senator Morgan presented resolution
disclaiming the necessity for the application
of the Monroe doctrine to the case of the
Dominican government, and asked to have
it adopted by the committee and offered IN
the Senate for consideration.
The sentiment in the committee was
against the adoption of the resolution ana
it was voted down. 1t was understood that
in voting not to report the resolution, the
members did not express an opinion as 10
it's merits but that the sentiment OF the
Senate was shown by the amendments
which strike out of the treaty all that part
which seemed to define the Monroe doc
trine and give it specific application to the
