THE LAST LEGISLATIVE DAY Some Important , Bllli Dlnpoted of Befor the Adjournment of the ' Fifty-Flftli CoiiKregi. Washington, March 6. Excitement, confusion, heavy strain and hard work characterized the last legislative day of the 65th congress, in the senate. At times the confusion was so great in this usually staid and decorous body as to render the transaction of business al most impossible. Toward midnight or der was being evolved from' the seem ing ohaos of the early part of the day. When the senate convened at 11 o'clock it faced the taek of considering two of the great appropriation bills, those for the army and for supplying the general deficiencies. The former carried appropriations exceeding $80, 000,000, and the latter $20,000,000. With a determination to complete the appropriation bills, the senate began immediately at 11 o'clock in the morn ing to consider these matters, and at 8 o'olook at night the army bill was passed, the deficiency bill having been passed nearly three hours before. Other bills were passed as follows: To incorporate the National White Cross of America; amending the in ternal revenue laws relating r.o distilled spirits and for other purposes; pro viding a site for the Washington public library bcilding. A bill providing for a government exhibit at, and to encourage the Ohio centennial exposition, to be held at Toledo, and appropriating $300,000, was passed. The conference report on the Alaska criminal code bill was presented and agreed to. In the Houae. At 11 o'clock the house entered upon the last legislative day of the session. The final conference -report upon the bill to codify the criminal laws of Alaska was adopted. Slow progress was made on conference reporta The District of Columbia appropriation bill and deficiency appropriation bill were sent back to conference. The house passed the army appropri ation bill with all the senate amend ments and the bill now goes to the president. , The conferees on the rirer and har bor bill modified the Nicaragua canal paragraph appropriating $1,000,000 for an examination of all routes, under direction of the president. The report of the commission making the exami nation will be made to congress, and no provision is made for beginning work. - v Two items from Oregon which were in dispute and upon which there was a seeming split have been compro mised. The Yanuina bay item has been modified so as to have the project examined by a board of engineers. The house yields on the boat railway provi sion so far as not to repeal the law for the projeot, but strikes out the appro priation made by the senate. ' SANTIAGO IN A FERMENT. Withdrawal of Fundi Pule a Stop to Publle ImproTemenU. Santiago de Cuba, March 6. Be tween 2,000 and 8,000 men have been suddenly thrown out of woik in the province of Santiago, over 700 in the immediate neighborhood of this city Although Governor-General Brooke has wired $30,000 leonired for the Febru ary pay-roll, there is still a deficit of nearly $20,000, and the orders from Havana still hold good limiting the I expenditure during the month of March for the entire province to $10,000. The effect of this order on Civil Governor Castillo, Mayor Bicardi and other Ca bana prominent in official oirclea ia simply paralyzing. Groups of men on street corners, in clubs, cafes, eU, openly abuse the American administration, saying that the Spanish was infinitely preferable, as in the worst times during peace con eiderably more men were engaged on public works under the old regime than are now so employed. The new regulations have brought to a standstill all the public improve ments, inoluding the dredging of the harbor, roadmaking and sewerage. Promotion of Dewey and Otli. Washington, March 6. The presi dent has sent to the senate the nomina tion of Rear-Admiral George Dewey to be admiral of the navy under the act approved March 2, 1899, and that of Brigadier-General Elwell S. Otis, D. S. A., to be major-general by brevet, to lank from Fehruaiy 4, 1899, for military skill and distinguished serv ices in the Philippines. The nomina tions were confirmed. Old Wage to Bo Restored. Providence, R. L, March 8. The Lonsdale Company, employing 2,500 hands, gave notice today of an advance of wages on April 1. The States Cot ton Company, at Pawtucket, employ ing 600 hands, and the Albiob and Val ley Falls mills, at Albany, also prom iee to restore the wages paid to tht 1893 cut-down. Rain Making at Lot Angeles. Los Angeles, March 6. Under the direction of Piofessor T. S. C. Lowe, a series of experiments are to be made at artificial rainmaking. A committee feas been appointed by the chamber of commerce .here to raise $9,000, the lianioiint deemed necessary for an ap paratus and chemicals for bombarding the skies.

TWO OREGON BOYS WOUNDED An Engagement Near , Manila Water works Thirty Imurgenti Killed and Many Wounded. Manilai March 8. The rebels have been concentrating in the vicinity of the reservoii. Today a patrol of com pany G, Second Oregon volunteers, was taken in ambush. Two men were wounded, but the organization held their ground under a heavy fire until the remainder of the company, assisted by two companies of the First Nebraska legiment, flanked the enemy, killing 80 and wounding several more. Two battalions of the Twentieth regular in fantry have reinforced General Hale's brigade. All the native huts have been de stroyed at Mariquina, and the country there is pretty well cleared, but the rebels were returning in small bodies at sundown. Apparently they have secured a new supply of smokeless am munition recently, as there has been a noticeable difference during the last few days. The Spanish commissioners who are endeavoring to secure the release of the Spanish prisoners in the hands of Aguinaldo have returned to Malolos to offer $2,000,000 for their release. As Aguinaldo has been demanding $7,000,000, it is not likely their mis- sion will be successful. THIS IS BETTER. American Troops Weloomed to the Island of Negros. Washington, March 8. A cablegram from General Otis at Manila, received in Washington, indicates the satisfac tory and agreeable reception acoorded to the American troops which recently landed at the island of Negros. They were sent there by General Miller at Ilo Ilo, in command of Colonel Smith, to take foiroal possession for the United States, which he did without trouble. Previous to the time the troops land ed, a commission from the island vis ited General Otis and said they were willing to surrender, and asked that he take the inhabitants under his protec tion. The congratulatory address to General Miller, embodied in General Otis' dispatch, is particularly gratify ing to the officials of the administra tion, as they believe that the feeling among the inhabitants of the island of Neirros is such that there will be no trouble in dealing with them hereafter. General Otis' dispatch 1b as follows: "Following from Ilo Ilo, 4th inst.: " 'Government, congress and-inhab itants of Negros to General Miller, Ilo Ilo: " 'We affectionately salute you and congratulate ourselves for the happy arrival of Colonel Smith and troops under his orders, and beg yon to send this salute and congratulations to Gen eral Otis, at Manila, as representative of the government of the United States in the Philippines, (signed) Lascon.' , "OTIS." Shelled the Battery. Manila, Maroh 8. At daylight this morning the enemy were discovered trying to mount a gun across the river from San Pedro.and the Sixth artillery promptly shelled the rebel battery. Temporarily stopping work, the enemy poured a fusillade of musketry across the river, but a gunboat moved up and cleared the banks ot the stream with rapid-fire guns. RESULTS OF THE EXPLOSION. Nearly Fifty Corpses Taken From the ( Ruins at Toulon. ' Toulon, March 8. About 60 corpses have been recovered from the scene ol the explosion of a powder magazine yesterday between La Seine and Tou lon. The remains of several other vio - - - - - . tims are still buried in the debris, London, March 8. A special dis patch from Paris says it ia rumored that one of the soldiers who perished in the explosion of a powder magazine yesterday morning near Toulon bad for a long time past been the victim ot systematic persecution upon the part of corporations, and he had vowed to be avenged. It is added that this man is suspected of having blown up the mag azine. Orders to I.eae Peking, Maroh 8.The American marines who have been guarding the United States legation are under orders to leave. The Russian and French embassies have also notified the govern ment of their intention of soon with' drawing their guard from their respec tive legations. No Dlreot Attack. Manila, Maroh 8. While the rebels had oonoentrated their forces with the purpose of attacking the water works, no direct attempt was made to capture the American position there. Detach ments from General Hale's and Gen eral Wheaton's brigades cleared the country today. Prince Henry In Command. Berlin, March 8. A high official of the German navy department has in formed the press that the appointment of Prince Henry of Prussia, brother of Emperor William, to the command of the East Asiatio squardon, bad been considered for months past, and was finay decided upon as being the most expedient, the emperor desiring to show the American people that he is thoroughly fiiendly to them, knowing Henry ia popular in the United States. NO RESPECT FOR WHITE FLAG. The Filipinos Show Their Treacherous Nature. Manila, P. I., March 9. Detach ments of General Hale'a and General Wheaton's brigades were engaged for two hours this morning olearing the ' country in front of their lines on both sides of the river, the enemy concen trating with the apparent pnrpose of cutting off the garrison at the water works. The rebels bolted at the first sign of the advance, but they separated into small bodies whenever the oovert afforded opportunity, and kept up a running fire. By a series of rapid advances, followed by flank movements, the enemy was completely routed as far out as Guadeloupe on the right, and almost to Mariquini on the left. The casualties reported are Captain O'Brien, of company F, First Wyoming volunteers, and two men slightly wonnded. The rebel loss was heavy. This afternoon General Hale's brig ade continued the work of driving out the rebels from the country between the reservoir and the water works, a distance of about three miles. The oountry is now clear on the left of the river, but the enemy is still in fiont of General Wheaton's line. . Private Lovejoy, company C, Wash ington volunteers, was killed by a stray bullet. Major Bell, Seventh United States cavalry; Private Young, oompany M, Twentieth infantry, and Private Parks, company I, First Wyoming volunteers, wounded today. This morning the enemy in front of General Ovenshine's division displayed a nag of truc-e, but returned when Lieu tenant Eohler, with two men, advanced to meet it. This afternoon they again showed a white flag, and again two officers and an inspector advanced. When the Americans were within 20O yards of the rebels the latter dragged rifles from behind their baoks and opened fire upon them, but fortunately without effect. Hawthorne's battery fired two shells, killing several of the enemy. ' STORMS AND FLOODS. Roaring March Weather In the Eastern States. Norfolk, Va., March 9. From Hat teias to Norfolk a terrible storm ia rag ing, , exceeding in intensity that of February 13. The wind is blowing at the Tate of 40 miles an hour, accompan ied by snow and cold. A big vessel, whose name cannot be ascertained bas gone ashore at Gull's island, near Hatteras. The lifesavers are on the scene, but they fear the storm wi'l prevent them from render ing any assistance.
