THE 100000 APPROPRIATION BILL
This is TO be flushed Through, ard the Bill
For Civil Government to be Taken up
and Passed as Soon as
Possible,
Possible
(By The Associated Press. }

Washington March 1.-THE Republi-
can Senators in caucus today reached a
partial agreement on the Porto Rican
legislation. The House bill appropriating
$4,000, coo is to be taken up and passed i'm
nediately. The bill for civil govern
disposed of as soon as possible, and the
tariff bill is to be delayed for the present,
while committee of seven Senators to
be selected by Chairman Allison is to
try to compromise differences on the
revenue bill, and secure measure which
Republican Senator'S generally sup
port. This partial agreement was
reached after q caucus lasting from two
o'clock until $50.
The temper OF the debate today was
much milder than that Of yesterday. AS
soon as it was generally understood that
the tariff features of the legislation were
TO be postponed the discussion reverted TO
the governmental features of the bin
and upon this subject the time was mostly
spent. Senators opposed to a tariff or
Porto Rican products said that there
would not be the least objection to pass
ing the government bill.
Senator Ellxins favored leaving not
only the question of revenues but the
government of the island as well to tho
President He thought the island would
be much better off under military rule for
the next two years.
Senator Foraker said that the question
of dealing with the islands was before
Congress and he for one thought Congress
should act. The committee on Porto
Rico had given great deal of time TO
the subject and felt sure the bill pre-
pared would meet all emergencies.
There was general unanimity as to the
wisdom of providing for immediate action
on the 81, 600 600 relief proposition, the
opinion OF all Senator's being that that
measure should be passed for humane
reasons.
Senator Platt, OF Connecticut, eX-
pressed himself as firmly convinced that
the principle of a protective tariff In
the interest of the industries of the Uni
ted States should be sustained in what
ever was done.
Senator Foraker expressed the opinion
in this connection that the Porto RicanS
themselves would not object to the tariff
provided by the House bill and said that
some of the residents of the island had
even gone so far as to say that they
would cheerfully accept a % per cent
rate.
Senator Hoar said the Senate could
not act with too great deliberation IL
considering so momentous a subject anc
Senator Wcrren agreed with him. The
Wyoming Senator said he had been fa-
vorable to absolute free trade between
Porto Rico and the United States proper
but he had felt that everything was to
be gained and nothing lost by proceeding
deliberately.
Senators Aldrich and Mason spoke on
the same lines, and this view finally pre-
vailed as to the tariff.

AN INTERVIEW WITH SECRETARY ROOT
THE Cubans Will Be Fit to Govern After
Proper Experience.
NBv The Associated Press.l


Havana. March 14-In the Discussion
today Gualberto Gomez publishes an in
terview he has had with Secretary Root,
in the course of the conversation he as
sured Mr. Root that there was no neces-
sity fer law reform. Mr. Root replied:
How about the many untried and in
nocent prisoners who were recently de-
tanned in your jails?"
To this Senior Gomez answered:
"That was not due to the law, but to
bad administration and to the bad ar
rangements for working the courts when
the Cubans got control"
Senior Gomez then asked when the Ma
tional Convention would meet.
Mr.. Root replied:
1T is Impossible for me to say as to
that 1t is not known yet how the NUM-
cipaI elections will turn out, and these
will be a sort of index as to the state of
preparedness of the country for SELL
government The administration is vir-
tually in the hands of the Cubans. out
of four hundred employees in the customs
service, only four are Americans. The
people of the United States desire that
the Cubans should learn all they can
about self government in order to take
over the country"
Senor Gomez: Although the Cubans
are filling public offices, they do not have
any ultimate authority. All this really
resides in the military representatives OF
the intervening government
Secretary Root: "The new municipal
ties will have powers of th9ir own
Continuing Mr.. Root said:
Many Imistakes have been made and
no government is perfect. The Cubans
will be fit to govern themselves after a
proper experience.
