Contention Also That the Old Prusaan |
Treaty of 1923 Is Obsolete = No In
dication That State Department Will
Alter It's View.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Sir Cecil
Spring Rice, the British ambassador,
yesterday in the name Of the British
owners of the steamship Appam, lodg
ed with the state department a formal
request that the ship be turned over
to the British consul under the terms
Of The Hague convention Notice also
was served that it would be in viola
ton of international law if the United
States permitted the German prize
commander of the Appam either to in.
crease the efficiency of that ship; add
to her offensive power or recruit her
crew. Lieut.. Berg has only % men II
his prize crew at present, a number in
sufficient to navigate ship as large
as the Appam. A compliance with the
3 British suggestion only on the last
mentioned point would effectually pre-
vent the departure of the Appam from
Newport News.
On the Alabama case as a precedent
the British contention is that any
changes either in equipment or per
|. sonnet of the Appam which would
even in a limited degree give her Of
feasive power and enable her to prey
| on British commerce would be a viola
tion Of law for which the United
, States could be held responsible.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ). - The Phil !
.ippine bill. which would extend to the
Philippines q greater degree of self
government and would authorize the
President to grant them absolute indie
pendence within four years, passed the
senate last night, - to "a. Various
Democratic senators, led by Chairman
stone of ythe foreign relations commit

amendment of certain features of the
indcpendenee clause, but in the end
the Democrats, joined by six Progress

measure.
1t is understood the bill viii go to
the house with the backing of Pres

early passage. There has been little
+ indication of what action the house
/ will take. but administration leaders
last night seemed confident that the
! bill, including the Independence feature
which Democratic senators declare
squares it with tho Baltimore plat
form would have the approval of the
house Democratic majority. The Re
publican senators who voted for the
bin were Borah of Idaho, Clapp OF
cite of Wisconsin. Norris of Kansas
and Works Of California. BY over
whelming maiorities the senate had re,
fused to modify the Clarke amend
meut. adopted several days ago, which
contains the independence provision
and also gives the President authority
to extend or withhold independence al
the end of four years If he should fn6
, conditions in the islands Unfavorable
The time would be extended, however
only until an incoming congress coulG
consider the subject.
Senator Stone of Missouri declared
the bill in reality not an independ
ence measure at all because of the eN
tension provision and offered al
amendment to eliminate it. but hi
proposal was voted down, 60 to II
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, chair
man of the Philippine committee
] sought to amend the bill by extending
independence within four years on con
! dition that the people and legislator
