Special washington correspondence.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November II.
1T Is as yet too early for forecast
probable Congressional action respect
ing the disposition and government of
our new dependencies. But good rea-
sons can be given for the belief that
military occupation will continue dur
ing the coming presidential campaign
and possibly for some time longer.
There has been considerable talk lately
of civil governors for Cuba and Porto
Rico, the advocates Of the proposal be-
lieving that such governors would be
more acceptable to the people OF those
islands. The appointment of such gov
ernors, however would not mean an
end of military government, for the
very act of appointment would be an
exercise of the Presidents war, power,
so that the governments would con-
tinue to be military in fact though not
in name. BUT even this proposal has
been abandoned, ostensibly to await
action by Congress, but more probably
to await inaction on the part of that
body, after which the President will
again have a free hand in the depend
encies.
That the President will recommend
the establishment of civil governments
in any of the colonies, except Hawaii,
where civil government ALREADY exists,
or that Congress will be able at the
coming session to deal effectively with
the colonial problem, both seem in the
highest degree improbable. Such
members of Congress as have arrived
in Washington and have been inter
viewed ON the question, have vague
notions concerning the extent and ma
ture of the colonial problem, most of
them being in manifest need of con-
siderably more light. This fact sug-
gests the probability that
A CONGRESSIONAL COMMISSION
will be about the extent of the legisla-
ton affecting the colonies. Perhaps
this is the easiest way to get rid of a
troublesome matter. 1t has been the
method hitherto pursued in other
cases where novel and radical legisla-
ton has been proposed. 1t was the
method pursued in the case of Hawaii.
So far there has been no attempt on
the part of any competent body of gov
eminent officials to make an exhaus-
tive study of colonial conditions. The
Porto Rican commission made itself
ridiculous by its incompetency. The
Philippine commission has not yet re-
ported in full. The Presidents wis
dom Is of the kind that waits for other
people or for destiny to solve prob
lens. Official opinion, so far as known,
and probably the Presidents inclina-
ton also, tend toward the belief that
military government will be best for
the colonies for several years to come.
But the President will not say so in
his annual message. He Will turn the
whole matter over to Congress, well
knowing that that dilatory and fire.
quently inefficient body will almost GER
tainly adjourn without specific action,
thus leaving affairs in his hands for
another period, just as he wants them.
Then he can appoint
HIS CIVIL GOVERNMENTS
and dispense such other patronage as
may be valuable in the course of O.
presidential campaign without inter-
! ference from any source. This is, as
nearly as may be made out at the pres
ent time, the administration pro-
gramme.
