Washington, May 15.?The House today was plunged into tin exciting debate on Philippine afairs. Thus far the subject of alleged atrocities in the islands has engaged the attention of the Sounte alone, and only occasional echoes hare been hoard in the House. But today the repoits of cruelty and outrage were rehearsed in the House with the same vehemence and bitterness that has at times characterzed the discussion in the Senate. The naval bill nasathe order of the day, but it received only scant attention after the allegations of Philippine outrages were presented. A speech by Mr. Vaudiver, of Missouri, reciting instances of alleged eetrage brought on the dis cushion which at times dey- lop. 1 ed into a wordy warfare across ( the aisle separating the two sides * ef the chamber. Personalities ' seal recrimieations were freely 1 passed about. 11 r. Yaudiver was * sapported in his criticisms by Mr. ' Wheeler, of Kentucky, while 1 yeheaaents defeases ef the Amen- 1 earn soldiers were made by Mr. ^ Hepbarn of Iowa; Mr. Grew, of * Peansy Irani*; Mr. Hill of Con. 1 aecticut; Mr. W. A. Seiith of 1 Michigan, and Mr. Lessley of 4 New York. Mr. Mudd, of Maryland, gave notice that he would move an amendment to the naval bill pro- * hibiting the purchaso of McClay's history, the animadversions in it against Admiral Schley being responsible, in bis opinion, for the 1 court of inquiry. If the history bad been clear of partisan feeling, ' he said, and had tho historian ac- ( eeptsd the high minded thought * pronounced by Schlay, that there * was "glory enough for all," the ( Ameaiuan nation would not now ( be the butt of criticism among the * aval affair* of the world.
