PHILIPPINES FINANCES.
The Question of Maintaining the
Parity of Gold and Silver
Giving Concern.

Manila, Dec. 2.-The financial sltua-
ton in the Philippine islands is caus-
ing considerable alarm. In an inter-
view published in Manila, Henry G..
Idle, chief of the department OF
finance and justice, referred to the
probable enforcement of an altera-
ton in the immediate future OF the
present government parity of two
Mexican dollars for one gold dollar.
The United States post office here
now refuses, except to government
employees, to issue money orders in
exchange for Mexican silver. The
banks of Manila have been making
from six to eight per cent. on eN-
change. Merchants and others are
forced to carry their accounts IN
Mexican silver. The commerclal
community has relied upon the Unit
ed States Philippine commission to
continue the situation of two Next
can dollars for gold dollar, which
the commission itself created.
The commission is unable to act 1T
| the matter without the authority o1
congress-. This authorization has
been requested. Charles A. Conant
special commissioner of the war de
partment to investigate the state o
coinage and banking in the Philip
pines, and report to the secretary o
war recommendations for remedia
legislation, who is now in Washing
ton. was the bearer of the commits
sion's views on this matter. Tn
stores of Manila are compelled to &C
cept two Mexican dollars for n gol
dollar, while Chinese spectators ar
paying as high as six per cent. pre-
ium in American paper money TO
American gold.
Local bankers say that if the sal
aries of all insular employees wer
paid in the local or Mexican currency
Independently of the fluctuations o
this currency, and if the government
had not attempted to enforce a rat
of exchange, the present nancia
situation would never have arisen.

COLON AVID PANAMA QUIET.
All PARTIES seem 90 Accept Present
Conditions as Inevitable
and Permanent.

Colon. Dec. Yesterday and to-
day passed uneventfully at Colon and
Panama. Both liberals and conserya-
tives are gradually resuming their
customary intercourse and fraternlz-
ing the one with the other. There Is
no undue boasting on the part of the
present victors nor i~ll-concealed ha-
tired on the part OF those who sympa-
thize with the vanquished. Conse-
ouently there have been no disturb
ances or unseemly behavior.
Recent events, however, are the
only topic of conversation. Many lib
erals allege that all blame for the
final turn of events is primarily due
to Belisario Porras, who is also said
to be responsible for the blow sus-
tanned by the liberal cause last year.
Porras, it is generally KNOWN, caused
a split a few months ago in h lib
eral headquarters at Charrea, over
a question of precedence, and senior
ity of rank between himself and Gen.
Domingo Diaz. Porras refused to rec
ognize the authority of Gen. Diaz as
civil and military chief of the liberal
army. He subsequently effected the
withdrawal of many men with their
arms to certain mountain Businesses
in another direction, where they are
still supposed to be.
The vicinity of Charrea (where the
liberals had their headquarters be-
fore the attack on Colon) offers many
facilities for insurgent campaigns, as
cattle and other food requisites are
there plentiful.
Afew dead bodies still remain along
the railroad line. These bodies are
being burned.
The British cruiser Tribune sailed
from Colon this afternoon for Bocas
del Toro go miles west of Colon)
where it is surmised the liberia
forces are rising, being ignorant o
the recapture of Colon. The Colon
bian gunboat Gen. Pinzon will alst
shortly sail for Bocas del Toro.
Owing to the loss, last week, o
the United Fruit Co.'S steamer Sun
rise, communication between Color
and Bocas del Toro is discontinued
