Is the Way u Taylor Character
lies Our GoyernmenI.s Peace Ne-o-
Sfations with spain

New York, November 30.-Hannis
Taylor. late minister TO Spain, pub
fishes in the December number Of
The North American Review a scath-
ing criticism OF the work OF the Amer
lean peace commission Mr.. Taylor
contends that in the negotiations with
Spain respecting Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines, the members OF the
commission should have been g-.ded
by the precedent established by this
county in its dealings with Mexico af-
ter the victorious issue of the Mexican
war. Then" he says, we refused as
Mexico lay helpless at our feet TO take
from her a single SQUARE mile OF ter
ritory by right OF conquest. Our COM
m~issioners were instructed to offer her
SIS, 900, 900 in cash and the assumption
upon our part of more than IS, 000, 900
due from her 10 American citizens as
compensation for the area out of
which has come California, Nevada,
Arizona, Utah and New Mexico.
And, thus" says Mr.. Taylor, was
established a new principle OF moral
law which stands alone, perhaps in the
annals of nations"
Mr.. Taylor contends hat now, when.
for the first time since the conquest Of
4VAlNc VIC Idhe dI1olIlCI NdiIluLSfCl
nation at our feet we owed Spain the
consideration and justice hat can be
due to the weak from the strong, es-
pecially as Spain has been an old friend
with whom we nave never broken off
diplomatic relations. The arrange
ment which has been concluded by the
American commission Mr.. Taylor
characteriZeS as "a vast ravishment."
We refused arbitration. We have
summarily demanded the surrender of
the entire Philippine archipelago and
as a SalVe to Spain we ave rendered
$40, 900, 900. The war has cost US di-
rectly about s165. 600, 900 and as a COM
pensatiOn for that outlay we a APP
propriated Porto Rico, which can hard
ly be valued at much less han double
that amount. 1t is difficult to under
stand, therefore, why, in dealing with
Cuba and the Philippines we should
have been unwilling to recognize those
reasonable and natural equities which
follow acquired territory.
In the case of the Philippines. We
have admitted hat as far as the debts
Of these islands represent expenditures
for the Improvement of the country
they must run with the land and con-
stitute a charge upon it. Upon what
grounds have we rejected the applica-
ton of hat elementary principle Of
law and COMMON honesty to the case
Of Cuba? The pretense that it cannot b.
there applied because we do not intend
to accept sovereignty over Cuba will
not avail. for as soon as Cuba $
evacuated by the Spanish troops the
United States will exercise a qualified
sovereignty over the island and being
a military government there and rigid
ly enforcing all laws for the purpose
of collecting revenue, both external and
internal. a condition which must ex-
list until congress orders otherwise. In
+ the case of Cuba, as we'll as in that
of the Philippines, the amount of pa
cific expenditures made by Spain for
the permanent Improvement of the is
land should have been recognized as q
legal charge Upon it."

The New York Canal Frauds

Albany, N. Y, November 3O.-Judge
C~Ountryman's report to the attorney

lie today on his investigation of the
report of the canal commissioners to
ascertain and determine whether any
judicial proceedings, civil or criminal,
should be instituted on behalf of the
state against n party or public Of
f1cer interested in the canal. He finds
that both State Engineer and Surveyor
Adams and Superintendent of Public
Works Alridge have either committed
or permitted acts which should be in
vestigated by a grand jury. After Gov
ernOr Black had received this report
he addressed a communication to the
attorney general in which he said:
You are hereby requested to imme-
diately take charge Of proceedings
against the state engineer and sur
veyor n the superintendent of pub
lie works on behalf of the state and
to institute and to prosecute to their
conclusion such criminal actions or
proceedings as may be warranted by

Revolution in Salvador

Washington, November 30.-The p
rising in Salvador has reached the di-
mansions of a revolution, in the judg-
ment of officials and diplomats famil-
lar with affairs in that quarter. Pres
ident Gutierrez has given away to
General RelagdO who has formed a
provisional government. The changes
are construed by some of them as a
death blow to the newly formed re-
public know as The United States of
Central America, composed of Saliva
dor, Nicaragua and Honduras, one of
whose main purpose was to provide
a joint military force for common de-
Tense against u%prisings, but other dip
lomats take just the reverse view.
San Francisco, November 30.-Gen-
eral Thomas Regaldo, the head of the
revolutionary movement in Salvador,
has usurped the presidency and pro-
claimed himself chief executive of the
republic.
Such is the sensational information
that has been received in this city.
The news was conveyed in a private
cipher cable dispatch by a prominent
banker here who has extensive bust
ness in Central America. The state
ment is added hat Aranjo has been
appointed general minister and the af-
fairs Of the government are o in the
hands of inSurrectionists.
The news is of the utmost impOr-
t-nce, for the reason that the success
of the revolutionary forces prevents
the formation of the Greater Republic
of Central America.

Another Revenue Tax Stamp Decision

New York, November 3O.-The suit
of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railway Company in the United States
district court to compel the Western
Union Telegraph Company to affix and
pay for the revenue stamps, required
by the war revenue law, on the tele-
graphic messages transmitted under
its contract with the railway company
has been dismissed at the railways
cost.
The contention Of the railway con
pany was hat the service which the
telegraph company agrees to give to
the railway company is to be free of
all charges. The telegraph cOmpany's
answer was that it could have no re-
sponsibility for the taxes laid by the
United States government on tele-
graphic messages and especially in
view of the repeated rulings of The
commission of internal revenue that
the law requires that the maker. signer
or issuer of Geographic messages must
affix and pay for the stamps.
