BRINGING HOME VOLUNTEERS

Adjt. Gen. CoTbin authorizes the state
Inent which, by the way, is in contradic-
ton Of several recent publications on the
subject, that 1t is the intention Of the War
Department to bring home from the Phil
ippines to the United States every one Of
the volunteers who cares to come, to dis
charge them in this country on or before
the 1st OF July next, when, under the law.
the volunteers must be mustered out. 1t
is the expectation and hope Of the War
Department that the coming Congress will
al an early period in its session enact legls-
,ation which will enable the department to
replace the present volunteer force by an
other and a permanent force of soldiers.
In that case, such Of the men in the ranks
as care to continue in the service will be
re-enlisied ) regulars. and any vacancies
that may exist through the muster out CT
the volunteers will be supplied by original
enlistments in the United States. 1t is
believed that these enlistments can be made
in time to replace all the retired Philippine
volunteers before the first Of the next fiscal
Year without causing any hiatus.

Its Manner Of Payment Threatens
Complications.
DESIRES OF SOME OF TIE MINISTERS
Want Each Power to Arrange Its
Own Treaty Of Commerce.
A MENACE TO FUTURE QUIET

The manner of payment Of the Chinese
indemnity and the commercial future of
the country are threatening some compli-
cations in the negotiations which are going
on at Pekin. Minister Conger cabled last
week that some Of the ministers desired to
insert in the protocol stipulation that
each power should have the right to a re-
vision of its commercial treaties with China.
This project does not meet with favor by
our government, and Minister Conger will
endeavor to secure its modification. 1t Is
not thought desirable to leave each power
to negotiate separately because of the
scramble for special concessions which
would be likely to result. Such concessions
might be exclusive in character in some
cases, and undoubtedly would be so If sue
cessful intrigue would accomplish 1t. Spe-
cial concessions would afford the opportu-
nifty for Intervention by armed force in case
the concessions were infringed. and thus
China would be kept in continual state Of
turmoil, the powers would be embroiled
with each other. and the constant threat Of
international complications would keep in
state of nervous excitement every stock
exchange in Europe and America. The
United States government desires a perma-
nent settlement Of existing conditions If it
can be obtained. 1t will recommend to Min
lister Conger that peace be made at the
present time without settling the CONNER
cial questions, except to provide for their
future adjustment upon a basis of equity
to all the powers. This will involve con-
certed action in making the arrangements
but will not necessarily involve a perma-
nent concert Of the United States with
other countries.
The manner in which the indemnity shall
be paid has not yet been decided upon at
Pek1n. SO far as indicated by recent advices
from our minister. This government is still
urging that the amount of the indemnties
shall not be fixed SO high as to ruin the
Chinese people or destroy the independence
OF the Chinese government. 1t is recog-
n1zed that the Chinese government could
not pay the principle of l. large amount
and would be compelled to issue bonds to
cover the obligation. If the interest on
such bonds was guaranteed by the powers
they would have the same excuse for inter-
Vention which would be afforded by the
grant of special franchises This would
be peculiarly the case If each government
guaranteed the interest only on the bonds
covering its share of the indemnity. Inter
Vention If there was default n payment Of
the interest. would be almost certain in
such a case, whether the bonds were sold
TO private investors or wei: held in the
PUBIC treasury Of the power receiving the
indemnity. If bonds are necessary and the
interest mas to be guaranteed in order to
hoat them on the stock exchanges some
sort OF concert Of action, it is thought may
produce less disturbing results than sepa-
rate action by the powers.

COLOMBIA's REVOLUTION.
The Movement Being Watched Will
Considerable Interest.

The Movement Being Watched With
Considerable interest.
The developments in the Colombian revo-
lutionary movement are being watched with
keen interest as well as with some anxiety.
This is especially true Of the movement OF
the British gunboat Pheasant from Victoria
to the isthmus. where, it is understood, she
is to effect settlement with this Colombian
government for the seizure of the British
merchant ship Taboga by the Colombian
army as transport The fact that a con-
siderable sum of money vas offered to the
captain of the Taboga for tbs use of his
ship does not legally offset the protest of
the British consul against the seizure, SO
1t may be expected that the Colombian gov
ernment will be called to severe account.
AS no American interests have so far been
directly affected by what has happened no
orders have yet been issued for the dispatch
of a United States naval vesselto Colombia,
but a close watch is being kept on the de-
velopments of the situation.
The British embassy here has not been
involved in the case in any manner, and
the British minister resident at Bogota. the
Colombian capital, Is acting entirely for his
government in the matter.
