PROPOSED az COLOMBIA,
Scheme for the United States to 40

NEW YORK, March 12.-Accordine
to a special to the Herald. Senior Silva,
the Colombo minister to the United
States, has already informally sub.
mitted proposals to Secretary Hay
for the acquisition of the Panama
canal by this government. and has
been invited to discuss them further.
Preliminary protocols were entered
into some time ago with Costa RIGA
and Nicaragua, so that these two
countries during the summer will
probably be merely interested spec.
tators of the moves which the United
States, Great Britain and Colombia
will make.
It is understood that these are the
essential points which the Colombian
government will urge A lease for
term of years. so long as the United
States may desire, not exceeding 200
years, of the territory across which
the Panama canal is being construct
ed; in return for such lease Colombia
is to receive either percentage Of
the tax on tonnage passage through
the canal, or a lump compensation:
recognition of the rights of the
French company, which will sell its
concession with Colombia's consent
to the United States.

REPORT ON INDEMNiTIEs
Has Been Completed by the Ministers'
Committee at Pekin.


PEKIN, March 1.-THE ministers
committee has completed its report,
and the general principles to be
az opted in cases of indemnities based
upon laws in harmony with the Roman
and English systems. This decision
WIS not reached without considerable
dis ussion, some believing that the
claims CT men of good reputation
should be paid in full without further
consideration. On the other hand,
case was mentioned where man
of high repute claims $4,000 each for
his own, his wife's and her daughters
nerves and $4,000 for property de-
stroyed, whereas it is known that the
latter estimate is more than twice
the value of all.
The negotiations, Mr.. Rockhill says,
are going on we'll and he sees no rea-
son why they should not be completed
in two months, with the exception OF
the commercial treaties, which will
probably take long time.
General Chaffee replied to the copy
of General Yin Tschang's letter sent
him by Count Won Waldersee that he
had given instructions to the Amer
lean troops when any detachments
were sent against robbers and Boxers
to obtain to the fullest extent possible
the assistance of Chinese officials in
making arrests and Furnishing the
guilty. Regarding Indemnity for
losses sustained by missionaries and
native Christians. General Chaffee
pointed out that his sentiments were
we'll known to the American mission
aries; that he was opposed to extor'
ton in every form, and that he IA
vored strict justice in every case, and
that he would agree quickly to his ex-
cellency's propc sition that the indem-
mites Sir Robert Hart mentioned
should be settled by the diplomats.
Count Won Wal1ersee will leave
soon for Tsin Tau the trip possibly
extending to Shanghai. He says he
expects to return to Pekin temporarily.
1t is asserted that China has de-
cided to delay her answer to Russia
regarding the Manchurian convention

WONDERFUL CAVE DISCOVERED

Remains of Prehistoric Races.


TACOMA, March 9.-The town OF
Chehalis is excited over the reported
discovery of an immense cave by II
F. Forest. of Chicago. in the eastern
part of Lewis county. EXplora tio..
was made a distance of five miles
revealing strange and wonderful
sights. After entering a lower pas
sage beneath the main cavern. the
explorer came to a subterranean lake.
Upon the pebbled beach We're found
boats of ancient and strange make,
some petrified, others partially so. In
one of the small rooms of the first
cavern were found the remains of two
human beings, both giants in size. the
man feet 10 inches tall. the woman
a few inches less. Both bodies were
reported either frozen stiff or mum
mifed. Hammers and drills OF brass
were found. The elaborate work
must have taken many years and was
apparently done ages ago by pre-.
historic race.
