"Washington, April 6. This was a notable day in the senate. It brought to a close the sharpest and most pro longed debate upon any measure since those discussed during the memorial "war congress" two years ago. At 4 o'clock this afternoon the votes were begun upon the Puerto Rican tariff and civil government bill and pending amendments, and. less than a hour later the measure, about which there as been so much contention in and out of con gress, was passod by a majority of nlno, tho final vote being 40 to 81. Only committee amendments wore adopted . It has boon evident for some time that the bill would command a majority in the seuato, but, notwithstanding tho fact, tho interest in tho measure, both of senators and tho public, has not flag ged itn instant. Today tho gailorios woro crowded, and hundreds of people filled tho corri dors, unablo evou to sooure standing room iu tho gailorios.

General Otis has cabled to the war department, prob ably with a view of correcting erron eous impressions that exists iu this country as to the state of 'the insurrec tion in the Philippines, a summary of the rise of development of the cam paign sinoe tlio first of the calendar year. His figures go fur toward offset ting the belief that exists in some quar ters that since the additioq oi goerrllln methodB of warfare, the insurgents have inflicted mora substantial losses upon the American armies in compari son with the punishment which they havo themselves reoelved. A significant senteuoe in the report differentiates iusurgents and ladrones, showing that Otis has taken cognizance of the f aot that a considerable number of hostiles are not toldiers under the rules of war and may not expoct tho same treatment. Tho report, which is dated Manila, April 0, is as follows; "Since Jauuaiy 1, 124 skirmishes in the Philippines have boen reported, mostly light affairs. Our casualties were 10 officers, and 78 enlisted men killed, 18 officers and 151 men wound ed.
