WORD COLONY" A MISNOMER
Capt. Mahan Says Our New Possess

NEW YORK, Dec. 1-Captain Mahan, re-
spending to the toast THE Army and
Navy at a banquet of the Order Of the
Acorn last night, said "There is a natural
association between colonies ard the navy
That association of ideas binds us also to
the mother country, England. / have two
thoughts that 1 would like to dwell upon
The word colony is misnomer. We cannot
have colonies in the new country that has
lately come to us. Most, or perhaps l should
say many, of the colonies of Great Britain
are not colonies, but are dependencies. I
would likewise have this country look upon
these new possessions of ours as dependen-
cies. We will have to watch these new de-
tendencies, for they must and will be de-
pendent for a long time to come and that
fact brings me to my other thought, and
that is the need of purely military govern
ment for these new additions to our terri
tory"

masted ship Shenandoah has arrived in port

Gated source late this evening it
Seems unlikely that the commissions
viii finish their work as soon as
had been expected. 1t is probable
that tho negotiations will last considera-
ably longer. Madrid has instructed the
Spanish commissioners on three points to
which the Americans attach much impor-
tance. These are the cession of an island
In the Carolines, the granting of religious
freedom over the whole of the Carolines
and the cession of a cable and coaling sta
tion at Ceuta- The Spanish government has
Instructed Senior Montero Rios to grant
none of these. and, while Spain may ulti-
mately yield to them all, it is admitted that
the American commissioners have no power
20 enforce their demands on points not COW
cred by the protocol. Before Spain does
yield the negotiations are likely to be pro-
longed. and the United States may have to
give substantial qud pro quo.

"a most important point in this con-
neotion in the attitude of the religious
press and the Christian church, which ia
practically unit for annexation This
great element of our population we would
naturally expect to find arrayed against
proposition of this character, inasmuch
as it comprehends departure from our
established national policy. In this in
stance, however, the reason is obvious.
They feel that it swould be a crime to
turn the Philippines back to the incom-
petent rule OF Spain, and the alternative
must be government by this country.
The influence of this great conservative
potent weight in determining the ques-
tion of the Philippines congressman
Dingley.
Admiral Dewey is said to have esti-
mated that $50, 900 soldiers will be needed
to take care of the Philippines if we de-
eide to permanently hold them. These
men must be enlisted in this country
and transported in troop ships 10000
miles over the sea to torrid climate
similar to that which has proved so dis
astrous to our troops at Santiago. Now
a far more yalua BILE test of the sentiment
of religious people in regard to the per-
manent occupation of these islands than
editorial paragraphs in religious journals,
and occasional addresses by divines can
be got by circulating paper among
the Epworth Leagues and Christian
Endeavor societies for enlistments in
the army of occupation which will be
needed. If the religious world appears
to be practically unit in favor of per.
rnanent occupation when the question
is presented to them in this way, We
shall be very much surprised. But men
must be had to endure these hardships
if the Philippines are to be permanently
occupied and governed by the United
States.

semble at Quebec next Tuesday. There
never was more favorable time for the set
Element of those questions than now. Each
party is feeling more friendly toward the
other than for good many years past,
and each is more fully convinced than
ever before of the desirability of the two
countries living on close terms of amity.
The questions to be considered by the
conference are, the alien labor laws the
bonding privilege, international bound
aries, pelagic sealing, Atlantic fisheries
and reciprocal trade relations. OF course
many of these ar 9 knotty questions, and
to find solution that will be satisfac-
tory to both countries is no easy task.
There must necessarily be some yielding
on each side. But with the feelings be-

colony shall come to some understanding
with the United States, there is very
hopeful outlook for a permanent and sat-
