MANY PRONOUNCED DIFFERENCES.
Meeting of the COnferees on the River
and HarbOr Bill.

When the morning conference on the
river and harbor bill closed, the House
conferees held a private session. The Mica
ragua canal amendment was not reached
at the full meeting, and the subject WAS
only informally discussed
Thus far the discussion has been on the
river and harbor items, and the disagree
ments this morning ware so pronounced
that Chairman Burton stated after the ad-
journment that there was not more than
half chance of having any bill.
The conferees agreed to allow the pro-
visions for the improvement of New York
harbor to stand practically as inserted by
the Senate, making a 40-foot channel in
both the outer and inner bays.
The indications are that a compromise on
the Nicaraguan canal amendment will be
agreed to. One of the recent propositions
mada and being discussed is for an appro-
priation of $5,0U0,oV0, with authorization to
the President to investigate both the Pana-
ma and Nicaragua routes, and when the
better route is found, the Secretary Of War
is to go ahead with the work and enter into
contracts for its completion. There is some
objection to this plan, and il may be modi-
fled. 1t seems to have been determined that
some canal legislation will be passed.

GERMANY'S ACTION EXPLAINED.
Cruiser Withdrawn From Manila Was
Needed In Chinese Winters.

BERLIN, March "A high German au-
thority, who prefers to be nameess, as
sures the correspondent here of the Asso-
ciated Press that the motives which in
dl ced Germany to intrust the protection of
Germans in the Philippine Islands to the
United States are simple. The Kaisern
Augusta and other German warships in the
far east are needed in Chinese waters.
owing to the recent anti-German outrages.
ard Germany feels that German subjects
are safe under the protection of Americans.
This implies of course. a high compliment
to the United States; but it is only in con-
sonance with several previous declarations
made by Count Won BGelow, the German
minister of foreign affairs
Regarding Samoa, the same higi. German
authority said Germany was aFr;.iting the
initiative of the other powers if the division
OF the islands is to be carried out.
The officials of the German navy depart
ment say the German thirt-cIass cruiser
Fake. will be relieved by the German
fourth-class cruiser Sherber The new
German gunboat Yaguar is going to China,
making total of twenty-five German war
ships on foreign service.

secretary Long Has 1t Prepared Pend
ing Action of the President.

In anticipation of favorable action by the
President on the bill reviving the grade
OF admiral of the navy, Secretary Long
today directed the preparation of a COM
mission to that grade made out in the
name of George Dewey, with a view to
sending it to the White House for the
Presidents signature as soon as he has
approved the act of Congress. The advance
of Rear Admiral Dewey to the grade of
admiral will increase his COMPENSATION
from $4,000 to $4,000 year In addition to
placing him at the head of the American
navy, 1t will also give him precedence in
rank over all the foreign naval officers in
Asiatic waters.
The failure of Congress to make specific
appropriation for the increased pay of Ad-
miral Dewey will cause no embarra ssment.
as the d1fference in pay can be met out of
the appropriation for the general pay of the
navy without further legislation
Admiral Dewey will be the third officer of
the navy to hold the office of admiral. 1t
was created in July, 1866. for the benefit of
Admiral Farragut, at that time vice ad-
mlral. ard on mis- death 1t was filled by the
promotion Of Vice Admiral Porter. The
office of admiral lapsed with the death of

WANTS LIGHT-DRAFT BOATS.
The Converted Yacht Vixen to BE
Fitted Out and Sent to Dewey.


Admiral Dewey is again pressing on the
Navy Department the urgent need of YES
sells of light draft as means Of COM
munieation among the numerous small ISL
ands of the Philippine group. To this end
the converted yacht Vixen. which figured
prominently for a vessel of her size at the
outset of the Cuban campaign, has been
ordered to be Immediately fitted out at the
Norfolk navy yard for service in the Philip
pines There is considerable work to be
done in overhauling and equipping her for
The long sea voyage, and she likely will be
in the dock at Norfolk about month.
Then she will proceed under orders direct
10 Manila by the Suez route, but in all
probability it will be over three and possi-
bly, four months from now before she will
reach her destination and join Dewey s
fleet Outside of the gunboat Concord of
lilo tons displacement, the only light
draft vessels now in the Philippines
available for service in shallow waters are
the Petrel and the Helena. Four more,
however. the Castine. Bennington, York
town and the Princeton, are now speeding
in that direction, but with the multitude of
Islands with which there is now no COM
munic1tion whatsoever. the small craft
equipment there will still be somewhat in
adequate. There are number of small
vessels that have been stationed about the
West Indies, but none of them is partic-
uIarly qualified for the task of covering the
stretch OF the several thousand miles be-
tween here and Manila, and could not stand
p voyage of that length or character
though once there they v ould be of con-
siderable service in facilitating communica-
tion.
The department is anxious to afford Ad-
miral Dewey all the assistance possible
along this line. He has repeatedly called
attention TO the great Importance of this
work and has emphasized the fact that
small gunboats. fit to skirmish about in
the shallow waters and to run in an out
OF harbors where the larger ones are use
less, are what are wanted rather than bat
tie ships and cruisers

Assistant Secretary of War Meikleiohn in
the course of conversation today upon the
condition of affairs in Porto Rico remarked
that the department had found it advisable
10 require that all American LAWYERS
desiring TO practice before the courts of the
island should pass the examinations and
comply with the requirements of the Span
tsh laws governing the admission to prac-
tiee before the insular courts He said this
action OF the department was rendered
necessary by the peculiar conditions exist
Ing in Porto Rico. 1t is believed that no
American lawyer could successfully prae-
tice without meeting the requirements of
the Spanish law In the matter of bar exam
nations.
The commanding general in the island ha 8
been Instructed to enforce such regulations
IN this matter along the lines indicated as

Notice Received of the Arrival of the
Members ut Hong Kong.

The President has been notified, through
the State Department. of the arrival of the
civilian members of the Philippine commits
sion at Hong Kong and their subsequent
departure for Manila. where they are ex-
pected to arrive Saturday or Sunday. They
will at once confer with General Otis and
Admiral Dewey with respect to political
conditions in the Philippines, with a view
TO inaugurating steps for the termination of
hostilities and the establishment of a stable
government in the archipelago. 1t will be
their first duty to assure the natives of
the friendly purposes of the United States
government, but at the same time to i'm
press upon them the fact that they viii
have TO lay down their arms and put aside
all hostile intentions before the represen-
tatives of this government will consent to
treat with them for the esta blishment of
peace and good order
Great things are expected of the COM
mission but it remains to be seen whether
they viii be realized. The success of their
mission will depend to a considerable ex-
tent upon the humor of the Filipinos If
they are reasonable and know what is hest
for them, they will throw no obstacles in
the way of the commission, but will facili-
tate their work as much as possible in
order TO terminate the existing truublous
state OF affairs in the archipelago
