after the senate convened Friday the
resolution offered by Mr.. Hoar calling
on the president for information as to
the instructions of the commissioners
who negotiated the treaty of Paris, to-

ports relating to their work, was laid
before the senate, Chairman DAVIS, one

senate had as much right to such infor.
nation as members of the foreign re-

adopted IN secret session. In support

Hoar Against Colonial Plan.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. = Monday
proved to be an interesting day in the
senate, the principal subject under dis
cussion being the constitutional right of
the United States to carry into effect
the policy of expansion. The leading
speaker was Mr.. Hoar (Rep., Mass. !,
who delivered speech i'll support of
the resolution introduced by Mr. Vest,
declaring it to be in opposition to the
constitution for this country to acquire
foreign territor..' 10 be governed re,-,>ea-
nently as colonies. His speech was in
answer to that recently delivered by Mr.
Platt (Rep., Conn.,, and has been most
carefully prepared. He took Strong
ground against the position assumed by
the Connecticut senator, assuming that
it was in violation of the constitution
and the Declaration of Independence
for this country to acquire foreign terri
tory to be held and governed as col
onles. Mr.. Platt, at the conclusion OF
Mr.. Hoar's address, reiterated his
former statement that the United
States had power to acquire and gov
ern foreign territory, and declared that
had this country embraced the doctrines
OF Mr.. Hoar, the Maytiower would have
been turned back from Plymouth rock
and the country would never have ex-
panded to the Pacific coast. Mr.. CAT.
fiery concluded his speech in opposition
to the Nicaragua canal bill, but an ef-
fort to fix time for a vote upon it
failed.

and Rochester William T. Stead and
member of parliament waited on A. J.
Balfour, acting minister of foreign af-
fairs. to-day, and urged that her majes-
tvs government instruct its representa-

fectively to support all practical BILE pro-
posals in the direction of disarmament
and arbitration. In reply. Mr. Balfour
promised the most hearty sympathy
with the wishes of the delegation Per-
sonally, he added. he took a sanguine
view of the possibility of the diminution
of war and he continued there were few
things he regretted more than the fact
that the scheme for general arbitration
between Great Britain and the United
States had fallen through, although he
was well convinced that with two such
communities having so much in COM
mon. the scheme, though deferred, was
not defeated and that general arrange
ment will be adopted between them.
even if it was not generally adopted
throughout the world.

tural Death Saturday The Army
Will Be Under Generals
Who Favor Gomez.

Havana, March 2e.-Resarding the de-
cree issued by former Captain General
Blanco extending Cuban mortgages to
expire on March 81 of this year, the
military authorities publish the follow
ing:
THE decree of General Blanco, for
merly captain general, dated Jan. 1,
1898, extending the provisions of pre-
vous DEGREES regarding the collections
of debts upon city and country pro-
perty. is hereby extended to April 80,
1899, before which date the military au-
thorities will publish decree govern
ing these matters"
General Alger gave no intimation as
to possible action reducing the number
of Cuban departments. Whatever is
done will probably be delayed until his
return to Washington. The situation
as to the Cuban army muster rolls has
undergone no change. But it is ex-
pected that Saturday will see the end
of the Cuban military system, when
the control of the army will pass to the
Cuban generals who favor Gomez. Get
ting possession of the rolls will then
be a simple matter.
The rural police will be organized
in the provinces Of Havana and Mat
anzas before the disbanding. In the
other provinces rural police organiza-
ton is already completed. Governor

Washington, March 29.-Consul General
De Leon, at Guayaquil. reports to the
state department that the change of the
world to gold basis has finally driven
Ecuador to adopt the same course, con-
gress having just enacted a law which
within two years, he says. will place the
monetary system on gold basis. Ecua-
dor has heretofore been upon so-ca1led
bmetallic. but practically monometallic,
silver basis; no gold in circulation and her
silver irredeemable. The circulation Of
the country was ard is almost altogether
paper money issued by the banks and re-
deemable in silver only. The effect of the
present law, he says, will be to put Ecua-
dor on a gold basis and, while paper
money will continue to be the money in
circulation, 1t will be redeemable in gold
and not in silver as at present.
