Senate Falls to Set Definite Time for
Vote on Philippine Tariff Bill.
Washington , Fob. 14. While no
definite agreement has boon reached ,
a vote on the Philippines tariff bill In
tho'senate seems to be In sight. It
appears likely , ' judging from a discus
sion of the subject late in yesterday's
aeas'ton , that the vote may bo had next
[ week , although the matter is yet In
volved in some uncertainty. Teller
, ( Colo. ) concluded his speech. He
urged that the Filipinos bo given the
fullest possible measure of self-gov
ernment , the United Statas simply
maintaining a protectorate over the
islands. Ho would prefer that this
government withdraw absolutely and
Without condition from the archipelago
than thrft the present war should con
tinue. Mitchell ( Or. ) delivered a care
fully prepared speech In support of his
IfM
amendment to reduce the tariff duties
upon Philippine products coming into
this country to 50 per cent of the
Dingley rates , maintaining that con'
gross owed this concession to the Pi.
clflc states as well as to the Philip
pines themselves. The Philippines
bill will not bo considered today oren
on Monday the. senate haying made
epeclal"orders'for both of these days.

United States Declined to Join.
London , Feb. 14. The statement o
Lord Cranborno , under secretary for
foreign affairs in the house of com'
mons , yesterday that the substance o
the Anglo-Japanese treaty was sub
mitted to the United States before
closing , has excited renewed specula
tion as to the attitude of the United
States. The same question has boon
much i discussed in Vlonna , where 1
seems to be thought that Great BrU
aln and Japan formally invited tL
United States to join the alliance , an' '
that Washington declined to do so
on the plea that it desired 'to keep
a free hand. These speculations are
reflbctlye of th anxiety nhown bf J
' ' '
European powofs'tq'be on'jood termi
with'the' United'States. .

Policy for Cuba.
CRITICISES THEADMINISTKATION
Former Governor of Matanzas Says
We Betray Island Aid Must Bo
Given Cuba at Once Annexation ,
He Declares , Is Inevitable.
Chicago , Fob. 14. "Since our occu
pation of Cuba wo have not donu ouo
hlnff to repair the ravages of war.
Wo have rd-cstablished no families In
holr homesteads , nor attempted to
restock barren farms and plantations.
We have not taken a single step to
extend the commerce of the country
so as to enable the Island , to recover
rora the devastation of the recent
war. " In these words General James
H. Wilson , la o governor' Matauzas ,
and'recently'appointed as delegate to
King Edward's1 ' coronation to roprc-
serit the "United states' army ; charged
negligence of Cuba In a speech deliv
ered last night at the Union League
club. Ho made ffe'qUcnt reference to
what h rcallod the unfair troatoment
the Inland' liad received at the hands
of the administration. Th'o speaker
made It'plain ( lint an Interpretation
of broken faith might bo placed upon
our conduct by the Cubans them
selves.
"Wo pledged ourselves at the begin
ning of the war , " said the speaker ,
'against ' the Intention of exerting any
sovereignty over the Island and prom-
scd to withdraw our army as soon
as peace was restored. In spite of
his pledge wo have exercised every
conceivable attribute of sovereignty
over Cuba. We have absolutely con-
Tolled the domestic affairs of the
icoplo and although perfect order has
existed for two years our army'Is still
n possession of the country. "
The remedy proposed by General
Wilson Is Immediate reciprocity with
Cuba. Annexation , ho maintained , Is
sura to come.

themselves. I have not made such
