DEFICIENCY BILL PASSED Provides for Emergency Expenses. BASED UPON ESTIMATES CARRIES ITEMS FOR CUBA AND PHILIPPINE TROOPS. Should the War Continue One Year Cannon Says It Will Cost Uncle Sam : Six Hundred Mil- lion Dollars, Special Dispatch to The Call. Call Office, Riggs House, Washington, June 2. The House, practically - without de- bate, passed to-day the urgeney:de- ‘ficlency bill, providing for emergency expenses of the army and navy depart- ments, incident to war. ‘It was" based upon estimates received recently from the departments, and carries -items contemplated in the Philippine expedi-- tion' and ‘the early movements ‘upon Cuba.. : i In committee of the whole Cannon ex- Enined the presentation of the measure. e said it was the policy of the Commit- .|.tee on Appropriations to hold back the general - deficiency Dbill until' practicall ‘the close of the session, in order to catcl up all items: that may develop as neces~ -sary up_to_the latest moment of the ses- -sion. Meantime the present bill was urgent and had been reported for present consideration because its items could not |~ wait upen the general deficiency bill. In- propria- cidentally he estimated . the ap of the war and likely 'to develop as essential, in- “cluding .the first siXx months of the com- ,000:000. . In response. | ing fiscdl year, at 0 I to a question from Dingley, Cannon sald .that the war would ‘cost approximately $600,000,000, provided it should continue . A ‘suggestion from Fitzgerald (D.) of Massachusetts "that cooks be provided for the troops at Camp Alger precipitated a discussion upon the conditions which exist there. Such véterans as Grosvenor, Cannon and Livingston of Georgia: dis- coursed upon the necessities of soldiers undergeing in the process of hardenin, what seemed grave hardships compare with conditions to which they were sc- customed at home. They drew compari. sons between present conditions and | those existing in the Civil War, showing | that present provisions are better. Gaines: (D.) of Tennessee vigorously criticised the War Department for allow- ing but seven days jn whieh to receive bids for supplies. ‘He said grave injus- tice was being done the South, and nota- bly Tennessee, in discriminating in favor of manufacturers of other sections. “The main thing before us now is: to pass_this bill,”” declared Cannon. “The money _cannot be spent until :appropri- ated. Some gentlemen come here and cry. out .and complain because in a twinkling an army, fully equipped with tents, uni- forms, provisions, guns and _everything for comfort, is not ready now, and now here comes the cyclone from Tennessee angd says, ‘My God, vou don’t give us but seven days to bid.! " The re:\dlnf of the bill at length pro- ceeded and it was passed unanimously without further debate. A number- of bills affecting the District of Columbia were passed, and at 1:52 o’clock the House adjourned. SPANISH SHIPS FLY MARIE WILSON LEAVES PRISON ’ Emerges From an Ohio Workhouse.
