CONFLICTING REPORTS

WASHINGTON. Nov. IA commune
cation has been received from Minister
Merry in Nicaragua. in relation to the
concessions granted to the American
syndicate which proposes to construct
the Nicaragua canal. but his cablegram
did not contain the information which
Secretary Hay sought.
Mr. Hay stated that he was much in
the dark as to what the concessions re-
ally were, as he has officially received
contradictory reports. one OF these
states that the government OF Nicaragua
made certain concessions to the Ameri-
can syndicate company subject to the
approval OF the Maritime Company.
Another report was that the conces-
sions would be granted II the government
Of Costa Rica would grant the syndicate
some concessions which are necessary to
the construction Of the canal as proposed
by the new syndicate. Costa Rica bas
not made these concessions and so u
the state department was able &c
does not contemplate doing so/
Secretary Hay does not denI mt
OF the government at Nicaragua to en-
tertaln the proposition Of the American
syndicate at the expiration Of that grant
ed to the Maritime Company, unless this
government can show good reason why
the concession granted 1t should be ex-
tended. In the meantime the American
minister has been instructed to project
the rights OF this government.

SENATOR LODGE LAUDs
AMERICAS PROSPECTS.
Declares that American Genius VIII Yet
Command It's Share OF the Commerce
Of the World.

BOSTON. Nov. Ex-senator Lodge. in
an address at the Boston Boot and Shoe
Clubs banquet last night. said:
II come now 10 what think the gov
ernment ought to do. The success OF
the English speaking race. which has
carried II all over the world and made
1t the great industrial and commercial
people OF the earth today. has been due
to the principal OF self-help. But there
are certain things which the spirit OF
American enterprise must look to the
government to do.
''You cannot expect men to carry your
products and to extend your trade by
establishing themselves in distant por-
ton Of the earth unless you have a gov
ernment that is ready to protect them at
all lines and at all hazards.
I'VE want no commerce at the cannon's
mouth. but we do want II understood
that wherever an American is engaged in
business there he is to be protected. and
that there is a navy OF the United States
big enough to guard him wherever he
sees fit 10 go. Therefore. say that we
need large navy as protection TO COM
merce on the sea, as well as on the land.
''The question that confronts US Is a
larger one than what We shall do with the
Philippines. They say We are not an
eastern power unless we hold those
islands. We are today the greatest pow
er in the Pacific ocean. We hold one en-
tire side OF that ocean except the outlet
which England has in Onina. We hold
the halfway house in Honolulu, where
all ships must stop when the Nicaragua
canal is built. as II will be. Are We going
to allow the ports OF the east to be closed
to us and open TO Russia, France. and
Germany alone? Or are We gonig to stand
up and say with England and Japan. the
ports OF China must be closed to all or
they must be open TO all?
1t is going to be a struggle. in my judg-
ment. between the maritime nations and
the non-maratime nations. 1t is going to
be struggle to see whether the people
who speak the English tongue are to so
- the wall. or whether they are to have
their share in the commerce Of the earth
wherever they fly their flag? 1 believe
that the United States is entitled to its
share Of the worlds commerce. do not
believe that we should be shut out from
It. and do not think that there is the
least danger of war anywhere il We are
far sighted enough to make 1t known
to the world just what we want and just
what we intend to do.
Let our government have wisdom in
its foreign policy and its treatment of
our merchant marine. and the genius of
American invention and enterprise will
do the rest"

NEW YEARS DAY WILL SEE
EVACUATION OF SPANISH.
Sailing OF Troops WIN No Re Completed
by That Time, Although Control
Will Cease.

NEW YORK, Nov IA dispatch to
the World from Havana says:
The American and Spanish commission
ers, in agreeing on January as the date
OF the Spanish evacuation OF Cuba, took
a precedent over the treaty of peace en-
tered into so years aF0 Uetween Mexico
and the United States. when an agree
ment was made as to the date when the
American occupation should cease. Then.
as now, II was known that all the troops
could be embarked by the date agreed
upon.
theoretically the Spanish occupation
will cease by January l. though It Is be-
lieved that 5000 Snanish troops will still
remain In Cuba These will continue to
otcupy their barracks until they leave
for the peninsula. 1t was agreed that
all arms save those in position should
be returned to Spain. There yet remains
to be settled the right Of Spain TO sell
tho bronze cannon and to have to pay
for the public buildings within the island
o: Cuba
General Green expects the first troops
to reach Havana about November 2S.
Colonel Hecker. who has heretofore
cornselled delay, now thinks the time has
arrived for vigorous action. The weather
being settled. he would bring the troops
here at once.
Stories are current in Spanish circles
that the Cubans at Mariana. in Pinar
del Rio, and at other camps. are bury
Ing arms and ammunition for the pur-
pose Of providing for possible difficulties
with the Americans. 1t is stated that
these arms are being stored in secret
hiding places until definite declaration
of policy Is made by the American gov
ernment.
The Cubans strongly deny the truth Of
these rumors, and Of course they cannot
be confirmed.

MADRID. Noy H.-Almost all the pa

proceedings at Paris expressing their
belief that the United States will decline
arbitration. and urging the government

Spain to renew the struggle. or to expect
