WASHED THE PRESIDENT. Johnson of Indians Creates a Sensation In the House. Washington, Feb. 24. Immediate ly after the reading of the journal in tbe bouse today an ae-eemeot was reached to limit the general debate on tbe army appropriation' bill to five hours, and it was taken up at once. Johnson (rep. Ind.), who made a vigor ous opposition to the bill while it was before tbe bouse, secured thirty min utes, in which he delivered a most remarkable and sensational speech, arraigning the administration in bit ter terms for its alleged imperialistic programme. He referred in opening to tbe recent banquet at Boston - at tended by tbe president and members of the cabinet. He paid his respects to Alger, who, he said, had been re tained in the cabinet despite his in competency, on account of his contri butions to the campaign fund of 1898. As Johnson proceeded his remark able utterances fairly amazed mem bers of tbe house, who gathered in tbe aisles to listen. Christianizing with tbe sword and civilizing with the cannon, he declared, was the adminis tration's policy. The president's soeeh at the Boston banquet, John son declared, was the most disingenu ous that ever fell from the lips of a chief executiye. 'Apart from its platitudes and pro fessions of virtue," he said, "it was a carefully prepared and studied mis statement of facts." The sensation Johnson was creatiog increased as he liked tbe president to Pecksniff. If the president really felt that congress should determine the future of the Philippines, he asked. why did not the president call congress in extra session and then keep bis hands off? He charged that the oresl- dent coerced the senate into ratifica tion of the peace treaty; that he would not permit a vote on tho Bacon reso lution, and only allowed the McEoery resolution, which meant nothing, to pass in order to lull tbe opposition of the country asleep while he went ahead waging relentless war against a help less people struggling for liberty. How a two-thirds vote to ratify the treaty was secured, Johnson said, only tbe president could tell. The people did not indorse tbe action of the sen ate. If the president could hush tbe noise of the self-seekers about him, he would hear, not' only the tread of 100, 000 men whom he desired to enforce his crusade against liberty, but the murmuring of"a mighty army of tbe American people who would orertbrow him Jh tbe end. The true cause of the president's change of attitude towards tbe Philip pines, Johnson declared, was to be found in the demands of selfish capi talists. He said Vast concessions bad already been granted in Porto Rico and Cuba, and he bad no doubt the board created by the president would farm out valuable franchises to Amer icans which properly belonged to na tives of these islands.

Tbe Cuban Assembly to ca's Offer. Accept Amerl- Havana, Feb. 6. The Cuban as sembly met yesterday and heard the report of tbe committee which was sent to Washington some time since to confei with tbe government regard' log Cuban affairs. The assembly was clearly dissatis fied with the doings of the committee, inasmuch as its members bad not act ed in accord one day telling tbe pres ident that the Cuban army was com posed of 30,000 men and tbe next tbat It consisted of 45, COO man in the Cuban ranks. The commission presented a report of the conference with General Alger, secretary of the war, aod the attorney general but failed to lessen tbe as sembly's apparent feeling of disgust. It was finally decided to have tbe re port printed and to band a copy of it to each member of the assembly, tbat they might study it caiefully. The fact that the offer of 93,000.000, on a basis' of tlOO Ipiyfdr eacbsofdiefwas adopted and ' tbat efforts to obtain more failed, makes obligatory the as sembly's ratification of the acceptance of the proposition of tbe United States. BILL FOB A CABLE TO HAVANA Will Be Incorporated In the Sundry Civil Appioprimtlon Bill. Washington, Feb. 26.

Tne amendment adopted is the one intro duced by Sanator Butler and it pro vides for the laying of tbe cable by tbe United States and for its subsequent ownership by tbe government, tbe navy department to perform the ser vice and tbe cable when completed to be operated by the postoffice depart ment. Senator Butler's original proposi tion provided for the extension of tbe cable to tbe Philippine islands, but tbe committee decided not to make provision for this extension because of the uncertainty of the tenure of the United States in the last named Is lands. Senator Butler made a statement before the committee showing that the cable could be laid to Honolulu for $6, 942,000.

(OLD GLORY WAVES OVER CEBU Another PhillDDine Is land Submits to Yankee Rule Manila. Feb. 25. Saturday the German cruiser Kalserin Augusta, which arrived here last night from Hollo, brought news that the United States gunboat Petrel bad visited tbe Island of Cebu, In tbe Nizcayas group of the Philippines, and hoisted tbe American flag. Tbe president of the local government of the island de clared be yellded only to superior force. The deputation from Negros island which came here after the pe- pie said tbey bad accepted tbe rule of the United States, is evidently pleased with its reception. Its members will return to Bacolot, tbe capital oi tne island, on Tuesday. Later reports show there was con siderable firing at Caloocan last night. The Filipinos are becomiosr more accurate in firing. - During the skir mish last night two on tbe railroad were slierbtly wounded aod a member of tbe Kansas regiment was shot through the head this morning.

CAUCUS OF DEMOCRATS. To Consider - Attitude o the Philippines. Washington, Eeb. 26. A caucus of the democratic members of the bouse bas been called for 8 o'clock next Fri day evening for "consideration of the party on the . Philippines." The call was issued by . Representative Rtcbardsoo of TaceAsee, chairman of tbe caucus committee, wbo received a request from 40 democratic members asking for a caucus. The plan of ac tion has been outlined, and it is ex pected a resolution will he adopted against tbe permanent acquisition of tbe Philippines. A resolution to this effect has been drafted by tbe demo cratic members of tbe committee on foreign affairs, following the lines of the Bacon resolution, adopted at tbe caucus, and hereafter it is expected to get tbe resolution before the bouse. Among those active in securing tbe call were Representative Dinsmore of Arkansas, Howard 'of Georgia' and Ball of Texas. Mr. Dinsmore says tbe essential fea ture of the movement is to secure a definite declaration of the attitude of the party agalnBt permanent holding of tbe Philippines. Mr. Howard stated that the step had been taken mainly because the McEn- ery resolution passed by the senate had been ienored by tbe committee on foreign affairs. No meeting of the committee bad been called since tbe McEnery resolution was received, so it was manifest tbe house was not to be permitted to vote on pucb a declar ation. He aod his democratic asso ciates of theicommittee bad therefore framed a resolution much similar to that of Senator. Bacon, which would be offered to the caucus. ANOTHBB PROCLAMATION . Filipino "Government" Makes a Few Bid- lenlons Misstatements. Hong Kong. Feb. 27 The Filipino "government' has issued annotber virulent anti-American proclamation, in which the following passages occur. "Tne Americans respect neither honor nor property, but barbariously masacre women and children. "Manila bas witnessed the most horrible outrages, confiscating proper ties and savings of people at the bayo net point acd shooting of tbe defense less, accompanied by odious acts of ab omination, repugnant barbarism and racial hatred worse than the doings in Carolina. Unless you conjure a holy war for independence, you are only worthy to be slaves and pariahs. Pro claim . before tne cimizod world that you will fight to tbe death against American treachery and brute force. Even the women should fight, If neces sary. "American professions and promises are pure hypocricy. They covet tbe wishing to implant here a more irritat ing and barbarous dominion than in the past." Sewer Pipe Combination.
