This action is regarded as a master stroke ol diplomacy, by which will be removed all possibility of a clash between Ger man and Ameilcan interests about Ma nila, and gives notice to all the world and esiieclally to any Americana who entertained any suspicion of sinister design by Germany, of th wisbe and purpose of the German empire to oal- tivate taa friendship of the United States. The announcement of this act of the German government came at the close of a dnv that had been full of sensa tional rumors of a clash between the American and Germans in Manila, the rumors Anally going so far as to assert that Admiral Dewey had fired on and sunk a German vessel at Ma ni la. Any lingering feats in naval cir cle were set at reat finally at the close of tha day by the receipt of some dis patches from Manila, but without men tion of any untoward incident. Filially at tha close of the day, and after the official close of the depart mcnts, the announcement was made for the reason of the great confidence the the officials had in the falsity of the minor, the statement being author laed that by one bold stroko Germany had removed all possibility of any olash at Manila. It was announced that the German goveinment had or do red their ship away from Manila, probably to their new naval station on the Chineso coast. The German government followed its anuoonoement to the state department of a pur pone to order it vessela away fiom the Philippine with a formal ap- pllcationn to the United Bute govern ment to undertake the piotection of all the Germans in the Philippines, not only in person but in property. The president very promptly aocept ed the trust, and there will be no Oer man ships, either at Manila or Ho Ho to distruo the relation hetweeu the two the couutiies by forming the base ol sensational and false rumors.

Washington, March 1. After a con test that will be memorable in the his tory of th senate, the compromise aimy reorganisation bill was passed tills evening at 7:10. When the sen ate oon rened, at II o'clock this morn ing, it seemed more than likely that th bill might he passed during the day. Gorman, of Maryland, insisted that hi amendment providing that the army sboulu not be Increased perma nently, or beyond July t, 1901, be In corporated in the measure. For sev eral hours it appeared probable that his insistence at least would thiow the bill over until tomorrow, and perhaps defeat it. An agreement was reached finally, however, and Gorman's amend ment, in a slightly modified form, was sccepted. The vote was 66 to IS. Then the senate took np the sundry civil bill and completed its reading, all the committee amendments being agreed to, except thoxe lelating to the District of Columbia.

The only amend ment of importance attached to the army bill was one giving two months' extra pay to enlisted men in the regu lar armv who served beyond the limit of the United State during the war with Spain, and one month's extra pay to those who scived in the United State. The discussion of the admin istration'a policy relative to the Phil ipplnea, which lias been occupying the attention of the members to the exclu ion of almost everything else during the consideration of appropriation bills for the last two weeks, was continued today, aeveral speeches being made on the subject.

Except tor an oc casional volley and some individual firing by the rebels from the jungl near Calooan, along the river and in the vicinity of San Pedro Macati, all was quiet along the entire line Sunday night.

The measure was under consideration throughout the day, and on several of the commit tee amendments a determined fight was made, bat in every instance the opposi tion availed nothing. The sharpest contest arose over the Nicaragua oanal bill amendment A point of order wa made against It that it waa general legislation, but the senate, to which the vioe-ptesident submitted the point, overruled it. Among the bills paed by the senate todar were the following: Authoriz ing the legislative assembly of the ter ritory of New Mexico to create an ad ditional 'indebtedness (or the comple tion and furnishing of the territorial eapitol; authorising a resurey of cer tain land in Cheyenne county, Ne braska.

General debate on the bill closed today, and tomorrow the bill will be taken op for amend ment under the five-minute rule. A aensational feature ol the day waa the speech of Johnson, of Inuiana, ho a fortnight ago made several nota ble speeches violently attacking the policy of the administration during the consideration of the army reorganise' tion bill, returned to the assault, and delivered against the president and tome of his adviser the most scathing philippic heard in the bonse for months. He sneered at the president nd the influence which he alleged controlled him, impugned hia motives, questioned hi sincerity and likened him to Dickens most oontemptiole character, charged the secretary of war with incompetency, and predicted that the preaident would in the end be en gulfed by adverse public sentiment. The discussion of this measure occo pied nearly the entire day. GOMEZ IN HAVANA. Tba Cabaa Oaaaral Received Wltb Mil tary Honor.. Havana, Feb. 27.
