ARMY FOR AGUlNALDO.
Question of a Tax to Maintain 1t
Discussed by FiIipinOs.

MANILA, Sept 25.-The Filipino
congress is engaged in the considera-
tion of the question of raising funds
for the maintenance of the army, pend
ing the decision of the Paris confer
ence. Heretofore the Filipino army has
been supported by private subscrip-
tions, but now the native government
considers the question Of the imposi-
ton Of various taxes. The inhabitants
of the northern provinces, however,
especially Of Pimpang and Iloics, fatty
refuse to pay land or poll taxes. The
inhabitants of Pimpang and Pamcinis,
the two richest provinces of the ISL
and, and those of Iloics are sturdy
mountaineers, who distrust the Taglis
and insist upon the establishment Of
an American protectorate.
Yesterday the assembly discussed
the establishment of a land tax. A
majority of the delegates were opposed
to the imposition Of burden unequal
ly distributed, and demanded that the
question be submitted to the inhab-
itants before the assembly decided. The
question was shelved.
Aguinaldo realizes the difficulty of
OOAANAAAS~N'AAS IhiS NOll1liNliHS lIltS1GSlS,
but hopes that the nations will allow
the Filipinos fair chance to show that
they are capable of self government.
AguinaldO asserts there is conclusive
evidence that many Spaniards and
priests are intriguing with a faction of
the natives to foment disturbances, so
that the Americans will believe the en-
tire population to be irreconcilable.
In the course Of an interview Agui-
naldO said that the Filipino fleet COM
prises eight steamers, which are now
engaged in conveying troops for a
grand campaign against the Spanish
garrisons in the southern islands
These vessels are practically unarmed.
The Spanish gunboat Ell Cameo, he
said, recently entered Marsburg and
caught and sank the Filipino troop
ship Bursan, which was lying at anchor
there. He admitted the recent pur-
chase Of the steamer Abbey, formerly
Of Passig, but denied that she had
landed rifles and ammunition at Batan-
gas, although admitting that she car
ried two MaXims and ship load of
stores.
The United States steamer Hugh Nc
Culloch captured the Abbey sixty miles
south of Manila. 1t is believed that
the Abbey has landed 1000 rifles.

COMMISSION COMING HOME.
Sitting May Be Transferred From
Quebec to Washington.

QUEBEC, Sept 25.-The rumor is re-
vived that the Canadian-American
conference will shortly adjourn to meet
in Washington. Each side is now busy
considering the written memoranda set
ting forth the views Of the other. The
Canadian commissioners are under
stood to have once more urged reciproc-
ity negotiations as basis of all set
Elements This, 1t is we'll known, is
not intended to be final. Sir Wilfred
Laurier will not court the defeat of all
his efforts to settle the outstanding diff
f1culties between the two nations by
declining in the end to withdraw the
present objection to settle other mat
ters, without disposing of the reciproc-
ity question On the other side, the
American memoranda are known to
urge the readiness of their authors to
settle several minor differences between
Canada and the United States
A number OF interesting incidents
concerning the commission have oc-
Cured during the last day or two. Mr.
Kasson is reported to have lost a num-
Der of important private papers, af-
fecting the commission, including a
draft Of a reciprocity treaty. They were
taken out of his pocket. He himself
declares tonight that they were simply
private papers, which he does not
think, even if decipherable by others,
can be of any use. A rumor current
that they were abstracted by interested
parties, either to aid other members Of
the commission or some Of the news
papers, is secuted by Mr.. Kasson, who
believes he has been simply a victim
of an ordinary pickpocket.
The international joint high COM
missioners are getting close together
in the matter of adjusting the differ
ences of trade between the two coun-
tries, and in doing this the industries
of the United States are not to suffer.
The assurances of a member of the
American commission are given that
the industrial system of the United
States will not be disturbed, and there
is not the slightest reason for appre-
hension on the part of Americans that
any of the great industries are to be
sacrificed
1t Is practically settled now that the
lumber question will be settled In a
manner satisfactory to both Ameri-
cans and Canadians 1t is probable
that the embargo on the export Of
Ontario logs will be removed, and for
this concession on the part of the Ca
madam government several grades of
pine lumber will be admitted at reduced
rates or free of duty into the United
States. The grade to be admitted at a
free or reduced rate will probably be
the higher grade of pine, of which there
is not surplus in the United States
market.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-A state
ment was issued by the war depart
ment tonight that the Cuban commits
sion had effected an ARRANGEMENT with
the Spanish authorities whereby the
steamer Comal, carrying a cargo of
supplies for the suffering people of
Cuba, would be permitted to land her
cargo at Matanzas free Of duty.
This indicates the adjustment of a
question that promised for several DAYS
to become serious. The Spanish au-
thorities, still maintaining Spatn's
right Of sovereignty over the island of
Cuba, refused to permit the Comal to
land at Havana without the imposi-
ton upon her cargo Of duties amount
ing to $4,000. In addition to this the
VesseIs captain was fined for disre-
gardlng some port regulations I'm
known to him.

The Time of the Peace Commission
Devoted to Sightseeing.
LONDON, Sept %. - The American
peace commissioners devoted the day
to sightseeing with the energy and en-
thusiasm of tourists. Most Of the Ia
dies and several gentlemen of the party
attended religious services in West
minister abbey and st. Pauls. Several
enjoyed steamboat excursions on the
Thames or drove to historic places.
The Hotel Cecil was crowded with
Americans most of the day, many
calling on the commissioners or at
taches, while many grouped about in
the Hobbies, discussing the late war,
giving the hostelry the appearance of
an American political convention.
Much amusement was caused by the
action Of the hotel proprietor, who,
intending to pay a graceful compliment
to his guests, raised the American and
Spanish flags side by side. The COM
bination excited curious comments
among the thousands Of passers-by
during the day.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-(special)-
Positive information from Paris is to
the effect that the Panama canal is
now in the hands of a new company,
composed Of some Of the strongest
bankers and other flnanciers in
France. This new company has sue
ceeded to all the rights and propertv
or the old De Lesseps company and
has ample funds and credit for prose-
cutting the work on the isthmus. To-
day 1t has nearly 5000 men at work
excaVating between Colon and Panama.
Work is being pushed with all possible
expedition.
Inc new company and it's work have
been kept secret and out Of the
newspapers, for the managers wanted
to fully satisfy themselves by the re-
ports Of the best engineering talent Of
all the essential facts In connection
N-O -N-ANN~A SSSA>AAASo OCAOI IIGy put

1t looks as If the ENTERPRISE is sura
to be a success, for the men behind
1t are of the highest position in the
commercial and financial circles Of
France, and they cannot afford to be
Identified with any enterprise which is
not sure Of success.
After the managers obtained legal
title to the works and other assets of
the old company they secured from the
government Of Colombia a renewal of
the concession to De Lesseps, which
carries forward for eight years longer
the time allowed for completing the
canal. Then two competent engineer
ing commissions went to the isthmus
and made a re-study of the whole m
dertakfng. These two commissions
working Independently, agreed as to
! the value Of the work already done.
the cost Of that yet to be done and
the time required to finish the canal.
The new company has organized an
international technical commission.
composed Of men Of the first reputa-
ton in the engineering circles Of
France, Germany, England, Russia and
the United States. This commission.
after thorough study, has presented
new plan Of construction, which
abandons the old sea level plan of De
Lesseps and provides from four to six
locks on each side of the summit divide.
The difficulty of the caving in of the
deep Culebra cut, about midway Of
the route, has also been overcome by
providing an efficient system Of drain
age and by experimental boring and
| drilling.
The damaging floods in the Chagres
river will be controlled by a great artl-
fetal lake to hold the flood waters of
the river.
The commission estimates that the
Panama canal is actually more than
one-third completed and that it can
be finished in not to exceed eight years
for $780, 900, 900. One hundred and twen-
ty-five million dollars has already been
spent on it.
There seems no reason to doubt that
in eight years ships loaded with the
wheat of California, Oregon and Wash
ingtOn, and with the lumber of Puget
sound, will pass through the Panama.
canal on their way to the ports of the
Atlantic seaboard and Of Europe.
