Action of the Recent Conference at Rome
Published.
NEW YORK, Dec. pa special from
Rome to The World says: The World
correspondent has secured from dele
gate the result of the anti-anarchist con-
ference recently held here, whose pro-
ceedings had previously been kept
secret.
Tristan international bureau of
police for the surveillance of anarchists
is to be established at Berlin, consisting
of nine members, German, Austrian,
French, English, Italian, Russian, Swiss,
Belgian and Dutch.
This bureau will correspond direct
with all police of Europe and will be
represented in each country by special
agents. ..
All the states represented will con-
tribute equally to the maintenance of
the bureau. .....- III
Second-European governments are to
negotiate for extradition treaties gov
erning anarchists.
Anarchists are defined as all those
who make public profession of the an
archist faith who are found in possession
of anarchist publications, bombs and
letters of an anarchist character, and
all members of anarchist societies.
A person convicted of an anarchist
crime will be punished according to the
law of the country where the crime was
committed.
Anarchist journals are to be placed
under censure; their circulation inter
dicted, their editors, printers and dis
tributors proceeded against as anarch-
lists.
All proceedings agrinst anarchists are
to be conducted in secret.
These decisions Were accepted by the
delegates from Germany, Austria, Rus
STA, Italy, Turkey, Spain, Portugal,
Sweden, Denmark, Montenegro, Servia
and Roumania, but England, France,
Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, Luxem-
bourg and Greece rejected them.
1t is probable that the ultimate re-
suit of the conference will be the estab-
lishment Of an international police bu-
reau.

GLORY WAVES
Order by Captain General Castel-

Stripes
And the Cuban Flag to Be Dis
played Inside Spanish Juris-
dictiOn.
City of Havana Therefore Bright
With Color---Regular Fourth
of July.
Thousands of Flags Secretly Made
or Clandestinely Purchased
Brought Out.

HAVANA, Dec. 2S.-The citizens of
Havana read in their morning papers an
order from Captain General Castellanos,
permitting the display of Cuban and
American flags inside the lines of Span
ish jurisdiction, and early this morning
the Stars and Stripes and the Lone Star
of Cuba fioated over many buildings in
the heart of the city and instreets where
the Spanish soldiers still keep guard.
The only buildings excepted in the order
are the government Offices. Havana,
therefore, is now bright with color, and
frecrackers are being exploded in the
streets and on the plazas.
Fear of the Spaniards disappeared
with the appearance of this order, for
out came thousands of flags secretly made
by women of the households, or clan
destinely purchased from venturesome
peddlers.
Robert A. Scott, formerly city treas
urer of Jacksonville, Fla, succeeded in
getting small cargo of flags into Ha-
vana some weeks ago, and flags origin
ally costing about four cents have been
selling for about 81 each.
The order of Captain General Castel-
1anos was issued after a conference with
General Ludlow, and it will be followed
by an order closing the cafes at 10 p. m.
General Ludlow rode around the city
late Monday night watching the temper
of the people in the streets. Fourteen
persons were wounded by people who

HOPING FOR A SETTLEMENT.
AN OFFICIAL SAYS THE PRESIDENT CON-
SIDERS THAT SPAIN HAS MADE A
MATERIAL CONCESSION

Washington. April / (SpeciaD. Said an
official to-day, whose sources OF informa-
ton are excellent: THE President and AS
sstant Secretary Day. who are in possession OF
much more information regarding the negotla-
tions leading up to Minister Woodford's last
cable dispatch than has yet become public con-
slider that a material concession has at last been
made by SPAIN and that the straight. short path
has now been opened to IA solution of the Cuban
question. which will meet the hearty acquies
cence of the people of the United States. The
avowed object OF publishing to-day the abstract
OF portion Of Gene -al Woodfords dispatch is to
emphasize the fact that Spain has finally consented
to negotiations for peace with the insurgents
after uniformly declining up to this time to give
the insurgents as such any recognition what
ever. which did not first insist upon the uncordi-
tional surrender Of the forces in revolt against
the Peninsular sovereignty. The closest conf
dant OF the President in the tedous and UP to
this time discourasilg negotiations has lkened
the matter TO a dispute before the courts In
which one OF the litlGants, when the case
reaches a crucial turn throws up his hands and
suggests a compromise.
In all his experience at such time he never
knew an instance where terms could not be
dictated 10 the proposer Of compromise which
would not be eventually accepted The paralei
was shown in the expressed willingness OF Spain
to make terms. The insurgents. though on the
defensive and playing a tiring game, had never
suggested truce. That Spain had permitted
the entrance Of the wedge OF negotiation into
her dispute with a foe heretofore treated as an
outlaw. in his opinion. constituted a practical
announcement Of inability longer to conduct the
contest.
The express consent 10 the cessation or nos
tilit!es exhibited further the confession OF Span
!sh weakness, for the insurgents had most to
gain through non-molestation X for no other
reason than that the civilized world would
not countenance a renewal OF war after II had
once been suspended. The sweeping abolition
Of the concentration bando in the only four
provinces in which IT has been effective In Great

! strong evidence OF Spanish desire TO avoid the
resentment Of civilized nations. In the other
