Loubst Of CHARACTERIZATION Of Labor
since Buchansn's Time-Cuha May be
Turned Over on Third Anniversary oi
Destruction ofMnine.
From our special correspondent.
Washington, Aug G-When congress
meets this fall, it is probable that
there will he submitted to it a treaty
with Colombia whereby the United
States will acquire the right to
estahl ish naval stations at Chiriqui
lagoon on the side of the isthmus
aud ut Goltito on the Pacific side.
This has Just been made possible by
the decision of President Loubet OF
France who has now rendered his
decision as arbitrator of the boundary
dispute between Colombia and Costa
Rica involving the title to this land.
For half a century or more the United
States has been anxious to acquire
coaling rights ~ these regions,
especially ut Chiriqui, on account OF
the ncarness OF the places to the
mouths Of any inter oceanic canal
that might be constructed, but it is
only within the last few weeks that
definite measures could be taken to
acquire them. The administrations
of President Buchanan, President
Lincola and Gen Hayes each per.
formed important official acts, with
congressional sanction ard support
looking to this acquisition, and
President Lincoln enlarged the scope
of the enterprise by providing for the
colonization in Chirqui of the freed
men of the United States, for which
purpose congress made a preliminary
appropriation of :G06, COO.
Whel the Oregon made her historic
run from the Pacific to the Atlantic
the Feed for such hesitation became
go apparent that the efforts were
renewed with the utuost vigor. Att
that time however, Colombia WIS
not in poSitioc to make a definite
answer, a. the territory Including
Chiriqu was in dispute between
Colombia and Costa Rica The answer
therefore was to the effect that the |
grant could not be made while the
question of sovereignty remained |
open between these two countries,
Chiriqu hsrhOr is very large, |
capable Of floating the entire feet of
q nation, and the water is deep |
enough for the heaviest battlesbip. |
Toe territory runs through to the
Pacific side, where the right of
Colombia is not in dispute with
Costa Rica the ore for a station is less
pressing.
1t is hoped that the recent combi-
nation Of foreign wBr and domestic
revolution that has broken out in that
part OF the world will not interfere
with the contamination Of these
desires, now approaching fruition.
Cuba will 10 all probability be
turned over to the natives Ct the
island on the third anniversary of
the destruction of the battleship
Maine, February 10 rext, at which
time the Cubans will probably cele-
brate the inauguration of an inGe.
per dert government. Governor
Wood has announced that it will
require eight months to get matters
into shape TO turn the government
over to the Cubans This would fix
the time March ]. hut nssmuch as
the time he names is only approx
mate, it is believed the work that
'emain to be done can he completed

If the Marie, which was the event
hat made peaceable solution of
he Cuban situation impossible.

Take the Position.

TO TIE EDITOR or THE TINES: In the
evening issue of your paper you announce
that ] have applied to the State Depart
ment for the position of Consul at Pre-
toria Transvaal' for the satisfaction of
demonstrating that ! could live on the
salary / have no doubt whatever that
the clerks at the State Department, in
the absence of their chief, have given out
this sort of news. That it is erroneous
will be made evident to your readers If
you viii kindly print the brief letter which
/ wrote to the Secretary of State on-the
subject, as follows:
Dear Colonel Hay: If the newspapers
are correct, the United States Consulate
at Pretoria is now vacant, and is not to
be filed at present because the prescribed
salary is insufficient TO support an incum-
bent. Yet il must be obvious to all that
it is desirable to have representative Of
this great mother Of Republics at that
harried capital Finding my country in
this dilemma, il gives me pleasure to en-
deavor to extricate the Administration
from embarrassment by Offering myself
for the undesirable post. If 1t were neces-
sary the Anti-Imperialist League Of
America would doubtless subscribe
enough TO enable me to live, even assum-
ing, what is quite improbable, that the
official salary is too small to provide for
my very simple needs.
'aOf course. / do not volunteer to ac-
cept an office universally rejected. eX
cept upon the understanding that it is a
favor to the Administration, but reasons
will occur to you why the presence Of an
anti-imnerialst at the capital Of the
South African Republic might be OF pub
lie utility. | do not need to remind you
that the people of the United States are
distinctly and overwhelmingly in SYM
patty with the South African farmers in
the struggle for life which they are max
ing against the greedy and bloOdthirsty
Empire of Great Britain and would ap-
prove of any services in behalf Of the
