FOR A MINT At MANILA
Project Now Being Considered by the
War Department.
DIRECTOR ROBERTS VIEWS.
He Says Two Schemes Have Been
suggested-The Displacement Of
Mexican Dollars Circulating In
Philippines liz Desired.

Washington. June 9.--An interview
with George +. Roberts, director Of
the mint, regarding the proposition for
the establishment of mint ut Manila
has been published.
He says the project Is receiving the
attention of the war department, which
is obtaining all the information pos
sibe on the subject. Army officers
seem to favor the establishment of a
mint at Manila and the substitution of
American coinage for the Mexican,
now in general use. There is considera-
bic opposition, however, as many are
certain that an attempt to push the
American dollar and redeem II in gold
would precipitate commercial disturb
ances that might result In disaster.
Two Plans Being Considered.
Two plans have been proposed. The
first Of these Is to establish free mint
III Manila for the making Of II Philip
pine dollar interchangeable with the
Mexican dollar and redeemable mt n
fixed price in gold. Under this plan
producers of silver would sell their
product to establishments having trade
relations with the east. which would
have it coined ut the Manila mint and
put In circulation. This il the plan
adopted by the British government,
which coins an Indian dollar that is
circulated from the Straits Settlements
and has SO far been successful IN COM
petn9 With the Mexican dollar and
the rupee.
Tie second plan is to coin a token
dollar" about the size of the Mexican
dollar, with enough silver to prevent 1t
from going to the melting pot or out
of the country. Interchangeable with
the Mexican dollar AMI redeemable IN
gold equally with Mexican coin.
