SENATE APPROVES
FILIPINO FREEDOM
Islands Will Be Compelled
to Maintain Their Own
independence.

WASHINGTON, Feb. s-Oomplete
independence OF the PHILIPPINES
through the withdrawal OF the Ameri
can flag, troops and all claims to soy
ereignty in not less than two years nor
more than four years, was voted by the
Senate late yesterday afternoon in
the adoption of the Clarke amend
ment to the long-debated PHILIPPINE
bill.
The vote on the measure stood Il
for and II against and Vice President
Marshall cast the deciding vote. Be
fore the Clark amendment was ap
proved by the deciding vote OF the
Vice President, an amendment offer
ed by Senator Kenyon of Iowa was
adopted. AS the bill now stands,
awaiting final vote, the United States
stands in no wise sponsor for the
freedom or independence OF the is
lands, once this country has relin'
pushed sovereignty.
The proclamation OF freedom is left
with the President. II at the end OF
four years he does not believe a sta
BILE government exists, the President
Is to notify Congress by message. Con
gress then can repeal, modify, or de.
lay the independence OF the Islands.
II, however, the President submits to
Congress a report that he deems it ad.
vtsable to surrender sovereignty and
Congress does not act upon It, the
islands will become independent au-
tomatically at the close OF the session
Of Congress.
Bitter debate over the Philippines
bill resumed at once when the Senate
had taken the test vote on independ-
ence. Senator Lippitt attempted to
have the bill recommitted to the com.
mittee,. stating that In its then form,
in view of the Senate vote 1t contained
absurdities. Reed on the Democratic
side Joined in this effort. But the mo.
ton was voted down.
It Is expected that the Senate may
get to q, final debate on the measure
tomorrow, although several amend.
ments are still pending. When ad:
journment came Senator Newlands
was demanding that the United States
appropriate $50, 1000, 900 for the cause
Of education in the islands,
Under the bill the United States may
retain only coaling and naval stations.
