Washington News Cost of Construction Delays Treaty Ratification
The Senate passed the Nicaragua canal bill and moved to unfinished business the anti scalping bill and Indian appropriation. It authorizes five million treasury warrants and a United States stock subscription for The Maritime Canal Company to build a canal for large sea going vessels at up to one hundred fifteen million dollars. The plan reshapes the board, imposes salaries, and reserves the government lien. Davis delays a vote on the peace treaty, insisting on clearer terms or a new session. Other notes cover Samoa, Samoa incidents, and military reorganization and census topics.

Growing Boldness As Filippino Officer Nearly Triggers Clash
Americans and Filippinos faced a near clash in Manila as a Filipino lieutenant led his company toward the Montana regiment picket line. After telegraphing to brigade HQ and a personal Otis investigation, the Filipino captain admitted his junior officer overstepped. The troops saluted and withdrew after courtesy exchanges, illustrating discipline gaps and the risk of misread orders amid occupation tensions. President Lopez of the Visayan federation challenged McKinley’s proclamation, claiming the revolutionary government predates the Paris treaty and declining to recognize American authority without direct Malolos orders.
