MR Y e Nelson Denounces the Nome law and Order League as an Or- ganization of Claim Jumpers RO S WASHINGTON, April entire session of the enate to- ¥ the Alaskan Civil Code bill was under consideration. In this connection Stewart of Nevada delivered an address of nearly three hours upon the mining laws of the and their relation to the United States d amendment of Hansbrough as to f the locators of clalms. Nel- son of Minnesota, Carter of Montana and Teller of Colorado discussed the pending amendment at length, both Nelson and Teller being particularly vigorous in de- | clatlon of it. Hale reported from the Committee on Naval Affairs a joint resolution .drawn originally by Mason of Illinols, authoriz- ing the Secretary of the Navy to have struck bronze medals for distribution among certain officers and men of the o North Atlantic Squadron commemorating | the naval engagements between the forces of Spain and the United States in the wa- ters of the West Indies and the Cuban coast. The measure, which appropriates $25,000, was adopted. A resolution was offered by Hoar, di- recting the Secretary of War to tell the Senate how many inmates of the National Soldiers’ Homes were colored men or In- dians. In explanation Hoar said that it was his desire simply to ascertain whether there are a sufficient number of colored inmates of such homes to warrant a sep- arate Institution. Pettus of Alabama asked that similar data concerning the national asylums for the insane be asked for by the resolution. This was agreed to and the resolution was passed. A concurrent resolution offered by Fos- ter of Washington, directing the Secretary of War to have a survey made of the mouth of the Nooksachk River, was passed. Inquiry as to War Tax Revenue. Gallinger of Ohio offered a resolution calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for the aggregate amount of revenue de- rived from the tax on notes, bank checks, insurance policies, ieases, mortgages, tele- grams, express shipments and medical preparations. Several Bu?gesuun! were made to include other articles on which there 1s a revenue tax. Platt of Connecti- cut suggested that the information asked for ought to cover the operation of the entire war revenue act. After some dis- cussion the resolution went over. A bill providing that the State of Wy- oming be permitted to relinquish to the United States certain lands heretofore se- | lected and to select other lands from the public domain was passed. An effort was made by Money of Mis- sissippl and several of his Democratic col- leagues to obtain consideration of the bill to revive and amend an act to provide for the collection of abandoned property and the prevention of frauds in insurrec- tionary districts within the United States, and acts amendatory thereof. Strong op- position to the bill developed on the part of Hale of Maine, Chandler of New Hamp- shire, Warren of Wyoming. and others. Hale declared that the bill, if passed, would subject the United States treasury to a drain of probably $150,000,000. Money challenged Hale's statement, saying that the bill would take no such amount from the treasury; that it involved only $5,000,- 000, and that a trust fund, for which the measure provided, was the means of dis? tribution to its proper owners.

Wedne; Stewart Reviews Mining Laws. | The Senate then resumed consideration | of the Alaskan Civil Code bill, Stewart | #ddressing the: Senate on the' pending 1 { Money up the broygh amendment, speaking in op- position to any change in the mining laws of the United States, Stewart reviewed the mining laws of the Stote to the extent that they related to alien’s rights in the Alaskan gold flelds. He defended the rights of the Laplanders, Swedes and Nor- ins who_had entered mining claims e Cape Nome district. elson followed Stewart, also sustain- the rights of the so-called aliens who ad Jocated the mining claims in question. | Hansbrough interrupted Nelson to read a | paragraph from a document drawn by | the Law and Order League of the Cape Nome district, which declared that the son said, had located the ms were not really the locators of the claims. In reply Nelson said that the time had | come "to call things by their correct | names. He derfounced the “Law and Or- | der League” as an organization formed to jump claims located by honest pros- pectors. Continuing, Nelson said the claim own- ers in the Cape Nome district were all declared citizens of the United States, or people who had horestly intended to be- come citizens of the United States. He declared there was no reason in equity, | justice or common sense why any dis- crimination should be made against the Swedes, Norwegians and Laplanders. The “Law and Order League,” he said, had attempted to drive these people from the Cape Nome district and had been pre- vented doing so only by the United States military forces. As a result, the league had asked the removal of the commander of the United States troops in that dis- trict. The proposition, reduced to fts ulti- mate analysis, was simply one to fortify claim _jumpers as they had never before been fortified. Tillman of South Carolina agreed with | Nelson in what he had said of the rights | of the Swedes, Norwegians, Laplanders | and Finns, and, speaking of the Hans- | brough amendment, sald that “Senators | ought to take it by the nape of the neck |anfl kick it out of the Senate.” Carter and Teller Clash. Carter of Montana made an earnest and | forceful appeal to the Senate that the | Am n miner—elther native born or | properly naturalized—should have the first claims upon the mining land of the United | States. He said in the course of his re- | marks that he had no_desire to change | the mining laws, but Intimated that Tel- ler of Colorado and others were trying to change them. In a heated reply, Tel- ler declared that Carter ‘“‘under a pre- tended zeal y)r the American miners” had attempted t# shift upon him the responsi- bility of a desire 'to change the mining laws of the United States. “I resent the statement,” interjected Carter, and was about to explain further when Teller declined to vield. The Colorado Senator said that nobody had proposed any change of the mining laws except Hansbrough and Carter, who by their proposed explanation were pro- tecting the scallawags and scoundrels and having been | THURSDAY, APRIL 19 190 PLOTS AND PLANS OF THE FILIPINOS President McKinley Sends to the Senate Papers. Captured From Insurgents. Evidence That Aguinaldo Recently Sought to Form an Alliance With the Spaniards. WASHINGTON, April 18.—In further re- | sponse to the Senate resolution of January | 17 last the President to-day sent to the | Senate additional documents bearing upon | the insurrection in the Pkhilippines. The | papers are all important. One of them is | a report of Colonel Aramas Blanco of the | Philippine army to the ‘“general com- | manding the-second zone,” of the events of February 2, 18%, in Tondo. He says that on hearing the alarm of fire he im- mediately ordered twenty men who gath- ered to hold themselves ready “so that when the designated.hour arrived they | those occupied by foreigners." would be ready to go to Meisic, where the | American barracks are, and set on fire the houses about there in order to inter- fere with their coming out of the bar- | racks, as was agreed upop in the meeting | with Drosend Lom~n. The result was that on marching to the scene of opera- tions we found the calzadala of Azcaraga was' filled with Americans and with them | were a number of country people, who | cried out, ‘Brothers, to the strife, for now | is the hour!” This {s what men were say- | ing to that crowd and at the proper time they sounded the call of our army, ‘Ad- | vance and fire!" The sight of that strange | scene threw us into confusion, for we be- | lieved that all we had prepared from the | beginning as well as what we saw was | prepared by the enemy and his spies.” | He then ordered a retreat, and when | they met the Americans, the colonel says, the latter gave his forces two volleys. He | | | adds that his men with their daggers in a hand-to-hand conflict forced the Ameri- cans to retire. Another letter, dated at Tarlac, October 23 last, signed by J. M. Lebab, commands an unknown Filipino officer, who, the writer says, “will go to Manila commis- sloned by our Government to throw some | | dynamite bombs and set fire to the houses and the principal buildings, especially Overtures to Spaniards. Among other documents is an unsigned | letter to General Rios of the Spanish army, and in command at Iloilo, dated at Malolog, October 2, 18%, apparently in- spired by Aguinaldo. In this letter the writer says that his desire Is to “yet save from shipwreck the *sovereignty of Spaln | in these islands.” He then proceeds: 1 I am Informed that you are considering sur- rendering the place to us or to the Americans. | After six months of vigorous siege and of total abandormert I understand how you can pre- fer us to the others. The way to make this surrender is to join us and proclaim the feder- ation of the Filipino republic with the Spanish { republic, recognizing the chieftanship of our | honorable Presidert, Senor Emilio Agulnaldo; a_fraternal embrace will take place between | Filipinos. Vizayans and Spaniards. There will | be hurrahs for Spain and the Filipinos united | as a federal republic; your troops will pass in- | to the comon army; you will be promoted to | a lleutenant general. Those who want can go back at our expense and the flags of Spain and the Filipinos will float side by side. You | will give an account of this to Madrid and in the meantime we shall fight the Americans to- gether, We shall conquer and then we shall | wait and adjust our future relations. The surrender of the herofe column you com- mand is the greatest outrage which can be inflicted upon those valiant men since they have suffered the humiliation which their un- fortunate companiens suffer here: and you, the able and upright and valiant general, are | not going to sign a treaty with the Americans? | God preserve you from it, sir. Your transfer | to our side does not really involve treason to Spain, sovereignty passed you are free to transfer your allegiance. This is in accordance with the principles of national honer, and it would serve as the first base of the new alliance between Spain and the Fili- pinos, and and apolause for you as having been the one fortunate enough to effect it. Both the preceding document and the one immediately following were on paper used in the private office of Aguinaldo, since the moment but neither of them bore any signature. | The second document in this connection. which s not dated, is apparently a letter of instruction to the Filipino Commission- ers who were to accompany the American troops to Iloflo. They were told not to recognize the sovereignty of the American Government and upon disembarking_the commissioners were to prepare the Fili-| pino forces to attack the Spaniards “‘some hours before the Americans can enter the place.” They are told that In case either the Spaniards or the Americans want to treat and make promises to “belfeve noth- ing and pay attention to mnothing, but press the attack until you dle or con- quer both of them.” If the attack should not take place until after the entry of the Americans the Filipinos were Instructed that they must “continue to enter the city, preparing to occupy and taking pos- | session of the ground, but without firing a shot unless the Americans commence. In case the Americans should begin the Filipinos were to attack immediately and not to give up until killed. Discounts American Valor. In this connection the Ilolloans were assured that the Americans were valorous only In appearance and would soon yleld if met by valor. If the Fllipinos should get possession of Tloflo beforé the disem- barkation of the Americans then the Fill- plnos were to ‘‘conceal themselves well in order to deceive the Americans and make them think we are more than we are in fact. In this,” the instruction con- tinues, “let them appear and when they are in due range of our rifies there should be a general discharge, so that as many men as possible will be killed at onc~. We can calculate one of our soldlers be- ing worth four of theirs, so that in the hour of victory after the combat we should have less losses than theirs.” Another document relates to the con- ference sought by General Otis with Fili- pino leaders relative to the expedition to Iloilo and says that General Otis tried to secure a deputation of natives to ac- company the expedition in order to con- ciliate the insurgents there. There is a' note with this document saying that Gen- eral Otis had indicated that it was the purpose of the United States to annex. the Philippines, but that the general admlitted that there were two parties in the Senate A proclamation signed by Aguinaldo on the 24th of May, 1898, says: I see the Spanish Government is umable to struggle with certain elements which constant- ly oppose the progress of this country, and now eince the powerful and great North American | nation has come showing a disinterested pr tection which will enable ue to secure the lib- erty of this courtry, I come to assume the command of all forces, ready to assure the attainment of our revived aspirations. He sal'd he would first establish a die- tatorship and afterward a government with a cabinet. The papers are all translations of docu- | ments cadtured from the Filipino forces. blackmailers who were making a business of jumping ¢laims. “These people,” declared Teller with emphasis, “are blackmallers or thieves, and since mining was begun in this coun- try they have been the curse of every mining camp. They are among the worst Seoundrels that ever went unhung.” Without further debate the Alaskan bill was laid aside. The Senate at 5:15 p. m. went into executive session and at 5:% p. m. adjourned. TO SAFEGUARD THE COLORED MAN’'S VOTE Chandler Introduces a Bill to Pre- vent Disfranchisement of Negroes. WASHINGTON, April 18.—Senator Chandler to-day introduced a bill “for the prevention of the denial or the abridg- ment of the right of citizens of the United States to vote on account of color.” In presenting the bill, Chandler said that he did so by request and was not yet prepar- ed to press its consideration. ~ He said, however, that he had drawn up the bill himselt.’ It provides that “any require- ment of any qualification for suffrage pre- seribed by any State in its constitution or its law, which directly or indirectly by ex- press words or by any device or subter- fuge is made to apply in its terms or in its operation to the great body of colored citizens of the State, while it is not made to apply to the great body of white citi- zens, Is hereby declared to be unconstitu- tional, null and inoperative.” Other sections of the bill authorize col- ored citizens to vote regardless of race | or of State restrictions. Colored citizens also are given the right of action for dam- ages ngfim&t reégistration boards refusing them the right to register. REWARDS FOR GALLANT VOLUNTEER OFFICERS Bill Providing for the Promotion and Retirement of Wheeler, Lee and Wilson. WASHINGTON, April 18.—Representa- tive Grosvenor of Ohlo Introduced a bill authorizing the President to appoint three volunteer officers as brigadier generals, with a view to thelr retirement. The bill is an administration measure, having been presented by Grosvenor after conference with administration officials and at their ‘request. It is designed to benefit General Joseph Wheeler, General Fitzhugh Lee and %enenl James H. Wilson, all of them volunteer officers, who, by the terms of the hill, vould be given rank as brigadier generals in the regular service and subse- quently retired. FROM SAN FRANCISCO. FROM SEATTLE..
