flORflOCAN, Southern Luson, Jan 20.—
{Correspondence of ti e Asoclated Press )
•-Two days ago. a uiUitary exped tion of
nome 2,WW American troops, und r Gener-
al Kobbe, left Manila and proceeded on
several steamships to tho southern end
of Luson Island. there to occupy an*l per
manently garrison six sea-coast town gnd
villages. T'p to the prtisent 11 m • three
Such towns have come under the Amert
can flag and the control of the Ameri-
can army officers and no one has been
hurt on either side. Two or three more
places still remain to be gtirrlsoned down
here, and then the expedition wi.l proceed
to Samara and Ley to, there to occupy
«nd hold the principal towns of these
neighboring Islands.
General Kobbe's command Is composed
of the 4!kl and 47th 1'nlted States vol-
unteer Infantry and Captain Randolph's
buttery of the third artillery. TTiese
troops were loaded on the transports
Hancock and Hnronne an 1 the local
nteumers Venus. Aerolus. SUvadora and
Caate'teno. Convoyed by tho gunboat
Nashville, the expedition left Maul a
January 18th. nnd slowly steamed down
the coast to the entrance of the deep
'bay that leads from the sea up to the
town of Sorsngen. near the southern ex-
tremity of Luson. On t^r morning of
January 20. we met the gunboat Helena
and tho little Marnvales. The three war-
ships leading the the trails porta In slnglo
flle, the whole expedition slowly proceed-
ed up Sornogen bay.
There had followed us from (Manila a
side-wheel steamer called the Nunes
with a serviceable draft of six feet Her
use and value now became apparent.
Two companies of the 47th were loaded
Into eight of the Hancock's pull boat*
and two more companies passed aboard
the Nunus. Then the Nun is towned the
whole outtlt towards Sorsojjo.i
After r.n hour and a ha-'f tho sm'i'l
boats arrived off Sorsogon and we saw
the town was decorated with white and
American flngs The Helen i. the Nu«h
vtll« and the Maraveles had preceded
the Nunua ami her boats to Sorosogon
and were anchored in front of the town.
General Kobbe and Captain Dar.el,
Colonel Howe, of the 47th. Capta r. Brad-
ley of the Hancock. and Lieutenant
Kobbe. the general's son, were on boar 1
the Maraveles. This gunboat steamed
close to the wharf in front of the atone
warehouses a'ong the water front, n d
a pull boat se't the party on sh mo. Th v
were met by u number of natives and
Spaniards, while crowds of the vl lagers
stood and gapped in wonder an J amaae-
ment* It was their first sight of Amer -
cans. Only three days ago the Tagalo
leaders had convincingly told them that
Agulnaldo had driven us out of Manila
bay. The Spaniards told General Kobbe
that the insurgent force had evacuated
the town that morning, whereupon <"o o-
nel Howe, with an American flag under
hja arm and accompanied by an orderly,
walked rapid'y across the square n
front of the church and raised the flap
upon a pole facing s bul'dlng that had
the appearance of a barracks.
The soldiers from Nunua landed and
marched up into town The pjople seem,
ed indifferent of our presence, the'.r only
visible characteristic being curiosity. Ail
day long they lookel at Amen ars from
street corners doorways m*t >nd rt^rv
windows nnd several times crowds of the
curious had to be dispersed from 'n front
of CYdonel Howe's headquafter*.
There were several Spaniards In t°w
and from them was learned someth'ng
of the recent happenings on shore. H r

and a district capital. It has

mar and Ley to been blockaded by
veaels since August last and consequently
Its people hve suffered from the lack
of varieties of food. They se ined to have
had sufficient of rl« e. fish an i '.aninar
which is the diet « f the poorer classes
but all such romestJbles as come from
Manila had long since been exhausted
The Spaniards said they were very g'ad
to see us and they hoped for the tmmed -
ate re-estsb ishment of commercial rela-
tlons with Manila. It seems there hsd
been stationed in the town about 300 Ta-
llin soldiers. under the commani of
Colonel Leon Puras There were only 10M
rifles In tho eommsnd. however, and we
were told they had 1 ttle ammun'tlon.
The flpanlsrds had been unlfo-mty we'l
treated by the Filipinos and there hid
been no official Impos'tfon or Irjnst ce:
the Spaniards were n lowed ^verv iber

country bud been safe at all times. The

Proposed Granting Her $20,000 Dam-

PROPOSAL TABLED WITHOUT DIVISION,
Diplomatic and Consular Appropriation Bill Passed—Hawaiian
Bill to Be Taken Up April 3 in House—Wise-Young
Contest Case Discussed.
WASHINGTON MARCH 10.—While tho
senate had th- diplomatic ana consular
appropriation bhl under ?ouj deration
today a lively deoate was precipitated by
amendment proposed by Mr H ar
proposing to g'v o former quee i 01' Haw-
ail $20.'0 and an annuity of If 0M. The
amendment was tabled finally without
division. The pending bill was passed
with a few minor cmendm?nts.
In explanation of the amendmert of
thin, Mr. Hoa> sa'U the far**.ut queen
was the proprietor in her own right of
much property that had been lost to her
by her dethronement.
Mr. Piatt, of Connecticut, did no be-
lieve the former queen had the slightest
claim on the United tSates and while
he would be willing to join inth e making
of a donation to her, In the circumstance
ho would not agree to legislation recog-
nising her right to any such payments.
Mr. Galllgher denounced the proposed
appropriation as utterly unjust liab e.
Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, while ad-
mitting that the former queen had no
claim on the United States, said the pro-
position made was simp y as an act of
grace.
Mr. Thurston suggested the donation
to the formerytjueen of a lump sum. He
strongly opp<$ed putting her on the pen-
sion rolls of the Vnlteri-C tates.
Mr. Cockrell, of Missouri, in opposing
the amendment, declared it wag a dan.
gerous precedent to establish at ih.s
time. "If we are to pension all the mon-
archs dethroned from our islands," sal 1
he, "we are likely to have our hands full.
There will be taa queen of Hawaii, tho
queen of the Suiua, find the Jnorurchy
. of many other places. Headed by the
queen of Hawaii with $10,000 the list
would go down to $S,0o0 for somebody else
then to $7,000, and finally wind up at a
pension of $5,000 for widows of presi-
dents of the United States."
Mr. Morgan—WjU you-Include the wid-
ow of Agulnaldo?
iMr. Cockrell—Why, of course, we'll
have to put her In.
In conclusion, Mr. Cockrell announced
his oposltlon to tho pensioning of any
monarch, in any circumstances thus far
developed.
>Mr. Tillman contended that tho amend-
ment was without equity. He thought
| If there was any claim at all It should
be pall by the people of Hawaii.
Mr. MoCumber, of Maryland, a'so op-
posed the amendment, taking the posi-
tion that thero was no moral or legal
1 obligation to pay the proposed pension.
| On motion of Mr. Carter the amend,
j ment was laid on the table.
j The bill was then passed.
The resolution reported earlier In the
day authorising the Cuban committee of
the senate to visit Cuba, was taken up
and passed.
On motion of Mr. Carter the senate
agreed to meet at ten o'clock next Mon-
day to continue the reading of the Alas
kan bill.
Mr. Thurston presented resolution com-
memorative of the service of the iate
Monroe L. Hayward, senator-elect from
Nebraska and delivered an eulogy upon
Mr. Hayward, as also did Messrs. Fair-
banks, Spooner and Allen.

PLEASED A HI Q AUDIENCE
LAST EVENING.
"Midnight In Chinatown" drew a big territorial
audience at the Brooks' thoatre last and was
night, and Judging from -the applause offU
the members of the company received 1
eram time to time, -the play made an ex-
cellent impression. It is a melodrama
and tells an old atory in a new way,
Abounding in Intensely dramatic sit-
uations and iunusing bits of comedy.
The specialties were all that could be
desired, and, -taken all In all, the play
provided «n exceptionally plea:dn,r
evening's entertainment, *tnd f it
should come again, it would be greeted
by a croweded houfte.
It seems that melodramas never
grow old. and there is no reason why
they should, as they tell a story that
appeals to the average theatre goer,
and when the oharaeters are finely-
drawn and -well acted and the play well
staged- as was the caae last nljfht, they

SIT CATION BY WLKINSON.
LONDON. MARCH 11— Spencer W lkln-
son summarised the situa ion in Sou h
Africa for the Associated Press at mid-
night as fo".ows:
The fighting reported near Helpmaaker
I? probably only the result of a reconnais-
sance. and It seems to me to be prema-
ture to assum<- that any movement In!
Itrge force it in progress in that direc-
tion.
General Ruller wll certainly do what
he can to keep theRoer force in Na i-
engaged and to prevent them all from
be :.g used to re^nforcethe army r^^'s:-
irg Ix rd Roberts. I expect Lord Roberts
to .--trik' Rluemfonetin in a day or two.
As to Mafeking. If it is not relieved
very noiffl the pace must fall. One there-
fore hopes, a brigade was sent up from
Klmber ey for Its relief within a day or
two uf the evacuation of Magersfontetn
by the li« crs. There has been time for
such a column to reach Msfeklng by road
but there is no direct evidence cf its
existence and the wish is father to the
thought.
