The Associated Press
CAGAYAN DE ORO, Philippines — Government planes today bombed rebels who had seized military garisons in two cities and declared independence for the nation's second-largest island.
Military sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said two T-28 planes a garrison in Butuan. The government and city cities seized Thursday by the rebels.
A Manila radio station, reporting from Butuan, said the planes made about 14 passes over the garrison and five other towns in fire. No casualties were reported.
Rebel cheffian Col. Alexander Nobile seized the Butuan garrison and one in Cagayan de Oro without firing a shot and proclaimed independence

By 254-179, the lawmakers turned down the outline of the five-year budget compromise that Bush and congressional leaders had reached after four contentious months of negotiations.
In so doing, they dealt Bush and the House's Democratic and Republican leaders a resounding political blow. The defeat came despite a week of intense lobbying by the president and his most powerful
Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said, "I don't believe it's a statement of our values to menace our senior citizens by cutting Medicare benefits while keeping defense spending high."
"If we have to hold our nose and vote for this, let's do it." he said.
The votes went against an outline of the five-year plan that Bush and congressional leaders agreed on last weekend.
"We have to come together," said House Minority Leader Roper Ropf Michel, R-Ill. "That's what we are appealing for."
aides, the bipartisan leadership of the House and Senate and three former presidents.
It was unclear what Bush and congressional leaders would do next.
Rep. James Quillen, R-Tenn., said the package was the best Congress could hope for this year.
Supporters responded that the five-year package of savings, though painful, was needed medicine for the allying U.S. economy.
Nonetheless, with all 438 House seats up for grabs in next month's election, the measure was the subject of intense criticism. Liberals have called it a "dodging汁 in Medicine, higher gasoline and cigarettes, and other painful savings
Even as debate was under way, even vote-counters they remained uncertain of attaining their goal: support from members of both parties.
The problem was especially acute among House Republicans, who, one official said, remained 11 votes behind by a majority of their 176 members.
"We're going to have a majority when we get there," said Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine.
officials have called the Bush presidency's most intense lobbying campaign, the president brought 60 GOP lawmakers to the White House Thursday morning to press for votes.
As part of what administration
Bush sent a letter to House Republicans asking them to support the measure.
A second letter was sent to GOP lawmakers by ailing Republican National Committee Chairman Lee Atwater.
Maverick Republicans spoke of getting telephone calls at home from Bush, Vice President Dan Quayle. White House chief of Staff John Sackler and even former President Ronald Reagan had Richard Nixon.

"they take it upon themselves to engage in direct action to protect things like redwood trees and prevent destruction of natural areas."
Featherstone, a self-described "outside agitator," has been organizing road shows for Earth First! since 1986. Past shows have dealt with acid rain, rain forest destruction and Grand Canyon uranium mining.
"He was one of the first people to verbalize the land ethic that the health of the human race depends on the health of the Earth," Campbell
Mike Campbell, Lawrence graduate student and organizer of the Lawrence stop, said that the tour's title, "Green Fire Wilderness Revita- tion," was a work by Aloe Leopold, a university of Wisconsin biology professor.
