II was after a full realization of the

far as TIE officials here know, conse-
quently il is not probable that the
actual negotiations between himself
and Gov. Taft can begin at Manila
much before the end of the present
year.
II is pointed out here that the actual
sufferers from the protracted settle

the friars themselves. The Philippine
government is now practically in pos
session of much of their property, and
the municipalities from which the
friars have been expelled hold most
of the remainder, so that the friars
orders are in the position of waiting
on the decision of the appraisers for
their very sustenance.
