BRITISH OWNERS or APPAM
ASK FOR THEIR SHIP.
Cecil Spring Rice Lodges Request
With State Department.

Washington, Feb. Ain the name of
the British owners of the steamer APP
pam, Cecil Spring Rice, the British
ambassador, today lodged with the
state department a formal request that
the ship be turned over to the Brit
ish consul under the terms of The
Hague convention.
Notice also was served that it would
be in violation of International law if
the United States permitted the Ger
man prize commander of the Appa
either to increase the efficiency of the
ship; add to her offensive power or
recruit her crew. Lieutenant Berg
has only % men in his prize crew at
present, number insufficient to nav
igate a ship as large as the Appam.
A compliance with the British sug-
gestion only on the latter point would
effectually prevent the departure of
the Appam from Newport News
On the Alabama case as a precedent
the British contention is that any
changes either in eqcipment or per-
sonnet of the Appam which would even
in a limited degree give her offensive
power and enable her to prey on
British commerce would be a violation
of law for which the United States
could be held responsible.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Philippine
bill, which would extend to the Philip
pines a greater degree of self-goyern-
ment and would authorize the presi-
dent to grant them absolute inde-
pendence within four years, passed the
senate tonight, 90 to "a. Various dem
ocrats, led by Senator Stone of the for
eign relations committee, tried vainly
to secure amendment of the independ-
ence clause, but in the end the demo-
Gratis, Joined by six republicans, voted
solidly for the measure.
Backed by President Wilson.
1t is understood the bill will go to
the house with the backing of Presi-
dent Wilson and will be pressed for
early passage. There has been little
indication of what action the house
will take, but administration leaders
tonight seemed confident that the bill,
including the independence feature,
which democratic senators declares
squares it with the Baltimore plat
form, would have the approval of the
house democratic majority. The re-
publican senators who voted for the
bill were Borah, Clapp, Kenyon, La
Toilette, Norris and Works.
Refused to Modify Clarke Amendment
By OVERWHELMING majorities the SEN
ate had refused to modify the Clarke
amendment, adopted several days ago,
which contains the independence pro-
vision, and also gives the president
authority to extend or withhold inde-
pendence at the end of four years If
he should find conditions in the islands
unfavorable. The time would be ex-
tended, however, only until an incom-
ing congress could consider the sub
ject.
Senator Stone declared the bin was
in reality not an independence measure
at all because of the extension pro-
vision, and offered an amendment to
eliminate IT. but his proposal was -voteu
down., so to H.. Senator Hitchcock
chairman of the Philippine committee
sought to amend the bill by extending
independence within four years on con-
! dition that the people and legislature
| of the Philippines should ratify con-
stitution- This was rejected, SO to 25.
Senator Stone Urged His Amendment

Democrats Scored by Senator Smith.
Senator William Alden Smith scored
the democrats for their determination
to give up the Philippines and de-
clared the American people did not
