MANILA IS TO PAY TOLL
United states Will Collect Customs
Taxes There.

Washington, May 25.-In anticipation
of the early occupation of the Philippines
by the land and naval forces of the Unit
ed States, the treasury department has
already begun the formulating of regula-
tons and Il scheme of customs tariffs,
which will be collected by the military
authorities and turned into the treasury
of the United States AS a military con-
tribution.'
That the president has authority to col
lect the Philippines revenues under exist
ing conditions, is not Il matter of doubt.
1t was several times done during the last
war with Mexico, and the authority of
the government in the premises was sus-
tanned by decisions of the United States
supreme court. The court, in case
which grew out of the capture and occu-
patton Of San Francisco and all the up
per part of the state of California by the
United States troops, held that the pres
ident, under he constitution as COM
mander-in-chief of the army and navy,
had Il right to exercise the belligerent
right of a conqueror and to impose duties
ON imports as Il military contribution for
the support of the army.
This was the view held by the court in
another case where it was also decided
the capture of Tampico, Mexico, by the
United States forces though sufficient to
cause it to be regarded by other nations
as part of our territory did not make it
in fact Il part of the United States under
our constitution and laws.
ct remained" said the court "a for
eign country within the revenue laws Of
the United States.
The tariff rates now being prepared by
the treasury department will closely fol
low the Spanish custom laws in force in
the Philippines. just what revenue they
produce is not known, but the assump-
ton is that ina smuch as the home gov
eminent realized from them last year APP
proXimately 100000, the actual amount
collected was about Sl9,0O0000. The gov
eminent will assume control of the reye-
nues as soon as the principal seaports
are in our possession, and will continue
to control them at least until congress
takes specific action in the case, or until
peace has been declared between the two
countries.

NICARAGUA CANAL PROJECT.
The Great Waterway to Unite the
Atlantic and Pacific.

New York May PA dispatch, to the
World from Washington says:
Congress will soon be called upon to de-
eide the question of building Il canal con
Meeting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Chairman Davis of the senate foreign re-
latons committee said:
"The need for action between the At
lantic and Pacific can not be questioned.
Our interests demand it. With canal
between the two oceans we would have
nothing to fear from an attack on our
Pacific coast. As it Is it would take us 60
days to send our fleet around the Horn to
the Pacific coast cities. With the canal
we could diepach men -ofWar TO San Fran
cisco from New York in II days. With
Il liberal appropriation-say $l0O,000,00O
IA canal could be constructed Through
Nicaragua that would be of great value
to this government for all time to come.
The Maritime Canal Company. which IS
endeayoring to sell its interests to the
government, started the canal some time
ago and considerable work was done, but
the hard times OF lS92-03 came along and
struck death blow to the enterprise.
This company succeeded in getting certain
concessions. which it still retains. and it
is but right that the United States should
buy these concessions and pay the canal
company for the work it has already done
| do not know just how much it has ac-
complished, but | am told that consider
able eNcavating has been done ON the Pa
cic side OF the canal. The company has
some dredges, scows, etc, which we could
we'll afford TO buy"
