Bills on Philippine Civil Government and Cuban Reciprocity
Washington May 10. The Senate debates two major bills: civil government for the Philippines and a Cuban reciprocity measure. The Philippine bill sets temporary civil administration, with Senate confirmation for key officials, a later census to shape a permanent government, land and forest laws, mining rules, and a new bullion dollar for local use to aid trade. The Cuban reciprocity bill would cut duties to aid Cuba, likely pass the Senate after conference, with annexation viewed as the ultimate end.
