WASHINGTON, March 1.—The house spent practically the entire 'time of’ the seven hour session yesterday passing the public building bills favorably act- ed upon by the committee of the whole ten days ago. The opposition sought in vain to consume time by roll call and other filibustering tactics at various times, but their numbers were so slim that in no case could they secure a roll call. At last their efforts to impede the passage of the bills was abandoned, and they were passed with great ra- pidity. Sixty-one bills in all were pass- ed, carrying $9,352,000, $750,000 of which, however (the amount appropriated for the New York custom house), is to be repaid from the proceeds from the sale ‘of the old building.

Authori- lse May Cause Trouble. l SANTIAGO, Cuba, March 1,—Within NEW the next few days a large number of la- l borers will probably be thrown out of work in consequence of messages re- ceived from the military administration at Havana, regarding funds and of the apparent reduction in the financial al- Eotment for this province. The state of affairs reflected by these ‘- ronditions is regarded as serious. Gen- ‘ eral Leonard Wood, the military gov- I emor, and the chiefs of the departments i decline to discuss the matter, but the ‘ best informed Cubans express their re- gret openly, and there are many occur~ re'nces going to show the growth of a feeling of antagonism on the part of the Cubans toward the Americans, which the former say is entirely due to the at- titude of Havana. A prominent Santiago merchant said yesterday, “Three months more of this same policy would plunge the island in- to complete chaos. Extravagant though this statement undoubtedly is, it reflects a widespread feeling of dissatisfaction at General Leonard Woods inability to carry out the policy of public improvements which he so successfully inauguIated. l To Search For \Vellman.

In the party are Professor James H. Gove of Columbia university, Lieutenant Evelyn B. Baldwin, Dr. Ed- ward Hofina, Iuriof Harland and sev- eral Norwegian scientists. .‘f \‘ .1, Japan Aiding Rebels. MADRID, March 1.—The Reforms as- serts it has received letters from relia- ble sources at Manila. saying that 30 cannon, 30,000 rifles and several million cartridges from Japan have been landed at Sual, on the gulf of Lingayen, on the west coast of the island of Luzon and about 100 miles from Manila, and have been taken thence to Malolos, the seat of the rebel government.
