May of the Philippine question became heated ln the Senato to-day. Mr. Spooner, of Wisconsin; Mr. of Massachu setts, and Mr. IForaker, of Oliio, spoke in dofenso of the adminlstration and of the army, and thoy spoke hotly.

almost unrestrainedly. The result was ono ot the most spirited debates that has yet oc cured on the Philippine Question. A cablegram from General Chaffee was read by Mr. Lodge, saying that it was impractlcablo. for Gardener to leave the islands at present, as he was an essen tial figure in a civil inquiry ln the prov ince of which ho was Governor.

The reading of the cablegTam called out a Sharp attack upon army methods by Mr. Bawlins, of Utah, who insisted that Gardener ought to come to Washington immedlately. In the courso of his re marks, Mr. Bawlins said the bias or. General Chaffee, as shown in his cable gram to tho War Department, was mani fest.

That cablegram indicated that Major Gardener was reluctant to sub? mit himselt' to an investigation by 01 flcers who had been the subject of 1ns criUcisms. Mr. Spooner, of Wisconsin. said the observations of Bawlins were quite oharacteristic of the action of the Dom? ocrats ln the courso of this debate. He had read carefully the telegram from General Chaffee, and had.

discovered nothing- a bias on his part. "The Sonator from Utah," continued Mr. Spooner, "seems to be blinded with suspicion of the army and of almost evervbody charged with any responsl in tho Philippines. It seemed to him that there was a too great willingness on tho part of tho minority to impeach the whole American army. Tho complaint of tho minority seemed to be, said he, that the Secretary of War had not given Major Gardener's charges immediately upon their reception to the Associated Press for wide dissemlnation.

Ho was interriipted by Mr. Carmack, of Tcnnessee, who said the complaint was that the charges had not been furnished to the Philippine Commission. Mr. Foraker defended Governor Taft against tho chargo that he bad wlth held Major Gardener's report. "The re? cord," he said, "shows conclusively that such a statement is not warranted." Replying to the Republican Senators, Jlr.

Rawlins snld the minority wero "met everywhere' wlth objections and obstruc tions." "I call the Senator from TTtah to or? der." said Mr. Lodge. "No Senator has a right to charge any other Senator with cbstruction." Mr. Rawlins referred to the caso Private Riley aud quoted tho Secretary of War in connection wlth it. that pri? vate soldiers aro lnclincd to "elraw the long bow" in writing homo of occur rences in the Philippines, which, he said.

was itself a severe refiection on the ad mlnistratlon. Contrafy to Secrotary's statement. he said. tho charges of the prlvates had been sustained. Mr.

Lodge: "Tbe Riley case Is the on? ly one that has been sustained." Mr. Rawlins: "Tho Riley caso Is tbe onlv ono thnt has beorr fully Without replyinq- Mr. Lodpre gave no tico of a speech next Monday. In the House. (Bv Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, May death of Ropresentative Amos J.
