RAPID
Strides Toward Pa
. cification
- .-
OF PHILIPPINES
General Mac Arthur's Procla
mation -
ACCOMPLISHING MUCH GOOD
Native Leaders Talking of Autonomy Under
American Sovereignity.
By Associated Press.
"Manila, Feb. 11. JTho progress to
ward the pacification of tho Philippine
lslandseyha certainly 'been making
more iTapId strides during the open
ing days of tho new year than, during
any similar period in 1900. The sltua
tlon begins to 'brighten tip, General
(MacArthur's proclamation ofDeceiA-
lber 20th' designating all "who do any!
thing inimical to the Interests of the
occupying army," as ."war rebel? or
traitors punlshalblo at the discretion .o'.
the tribunals of the -occupying army,''
was a plain position.
Printed copies .were extensively cir
culated through all the districts.
Tho term during which amnesty -was
extended to the rebels hav
ing expired, and the carrying out of
the comofendS'orGenoraPMacArthur's
proclamation having 'begun with tho
arrests of large 'batches of insurgents,
a scurrying for the mountains ensued.
Filipino leaders who -were trying to
play double games 'became fewer and
fcovefal hundred natives soon found
themselves en route to Manila under
iiard.
The campaign of arrests 'in Manila
and vicinity, -which began immediately
after 'the Issuance of General MacArth
ur's proclamation, is being pushed
with extraordinary vigor. Prisons are
dally becoming -more crowded.
(About all of tho most prominent Fil
ipino leaders are now pushing the or
ganization of n new federal political
party and talking of autonomy In ....o
Philippines under American sover
eignty. While tho army industriously chases
tho remnants of the Insurgent army up
the mountain sides, tho no leils defatl
gable Philippine commission is build
ing up a framework of civil govern
ment as effective as representatives ot
tho administration can make it. The
aid furnished by commissioners Jn the
work of pacification cannot be said to
too cordially welcomed by We soldiers.
Scarcely an army officer is found who
does not believe that the work of the
commission Is premature, that tho
hopeful views of Its members on tho
general situation are entirely too op
timistlc, and that tho civil administra
tion of affairs ought to have been left
wholly in tho hands of the military
govornor for, perhaps, years to come.
Tho average army ofiicer places the
date of tho ultimate pacification at not
tiooner, and generally much later, than
ono year hence. The commission,
placing more faith in the leaven of lo
cal 'autonomy and enlightenment ot
progressive civil 'government, looks
(fdiwaird to earlier peace.

these men would press in cause con

POWER OF SENATE
To Initiate Revenue Legisla
tion. OTHER POINTS BROUGHT UP
Messrs Payne, Sulzer, Mahon and Knox
Were in the Scrap.
By Associated Press.
Washington, D. C. Fob. 11. This
was field day In the House, being by
far tho liveliest day during the present
session. A very Interesting debate
over revenue legislation initiated by
the House was precipitated! when
Payne, chairman of the Ways and
L Mflans committee, brought 'in- the res-
on or the commmee to disagres
to tho substitute proposed Dy the Sen
ate as an amendment to tho war reven
ue reduction act, and to ask for a con
ference with tho Senate.
'Mr. Tawnoy, of .Minnesota, cham
pioned the cause of the Houo and -j?
paramount rights over revenue legisla
tion, but was unfortunate in not bring
ing forward a resolution to return tho
bill to the Senate with the declaration
that the Senate had transcended Its
power in substitutlnKan enttrelr new
fmlasUTe'forJthelilllfot'thVKouse.'"'!-'
louuCTiuuHi uouiiitt snuwcu max naa
thl3 course been adopted the proposi
tion would have commanded a large
vote. Instead, however, ho Insisted upon
the division of the resolution, and after
tho first portion to dUagree had
been adopted, he made a point of order
that tho second motion was not In
order, because tho Senalto In Its sub
stitute had Invaded tho constitutional
prerogatives of the Hoiu,e. The result
was that tho members were "not con
fronted with tho direct issue, and the
House voted 233 to 38 to ask for a
conference.
Later in the day, during the consid
eration of tho diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill, an impassioned
pro-Boer speech by Mr. Sulzer of New
York drew from Mr. Mahon of Penn
sylvania, a recital of tho raising of a
fund of about X1.200 for the benefit ot
widows of Boer soldierS at a meeting
held here at which Sulzer 'presided. He
declared that after the "Terrapin and
cold bottles had got In their work"
only $18 was left for the Boer widows.
This stung Sulzer to reply at length
Ho said ho had no connection with ine
expenditure of the fundi to which ho
had contributed ?175, and a very lively
row followed, the climax of which was
reached when Sulzer said that during
the la3t campaign Perry S. Heath, the.
late Assistant Postmaster General,
who was secretary of the Republican
national committee during tne recent
campaign, had had the charges circu
lated by Republican papers. Ho (Sul
zer )had threatened every paper which
printed the charges with libel suits and
they had retracted.
"As thero is a disposition to throw
mud," said he "I'll throw a little my
self." Sulzer then sent to the clerk s desk
and had read a letter which he said he
had received. It was a sensational per
sonal attack upon Heath in connec
tion with the appointment of C. F. W.
Neely and other matters.
It charged Heath with being Neely's
sponsor, and then denying it after the
arrest of Neely, and also making alleg
ations against Heath In connection
with government deposits In a New
York bank. Tho reading of the letter
created a 6onSAtlon. Mr. Knox, of
Massachusetts, Indignantly declared
that It was contemptible to attack a
gentleman through an anonymous let
ter without giving him an opportunity
to reply. Ho said that it was an In
fringement on tho right of tho House,
and ho moved to strike It from the
'record.
In tho course of tho debate upon this
motion (Mr. Sulzer declared that, al
though tho communication was anony
mous, ho fathered every word of It, and
would bo responsible for it as a mem
ber of tho House anidi as am Individual.
Tho Domocrats filibustered against tha
motion to expunge Uae letter from tho
Congressional Record and finally forc
ed tho adjournment tho effect being
to1pormIt tho publication of the letter
