U. S. OFFICIAL TO VATICAN.
Taft Mey Go There for Transfer OF
Friars' lands in the
Philippines. IA

q
washington, March. 2s.-Archbishop
Sbarretti and his secretary, Mgr
Broderick, called at the war depart
ment yesterday and had a short con-
ference with Secretary Root. The
prelates will remain in Washington
about a week for the purpose of az
fording the officials here any infor-
nation in their power touching the
pending religious questions in the
Philippines.
1t appears that the issue now pre-
scented to the government here is on
Of extreme interest to the Catholic
church. Primarily it resolves Itself
Element of the Philippine friar land
, problem shall be effected in Manila or
whether it shall be adjusted at Rome.
Archbishop Sbarretti, becoming arch
bishop of Manila, will be the nominal
owner of all the lands and real prop
critics belonging to the Friars' orders
in the Philippines. Therefore he will
be the person to whom application for
a purchase of lands would ordinarily
be made. The application in such
case would be by the Philippine COM
mission, and the transfer of the prop
critics would be accomplished in the
usual and ordinary legal means COM
mon to condemnatory proceedings
such as are provided for in the pend
ing Philippine government bill.
But another proposition is under
consideration at the White House,
and that is to have the proceedings
conducted at the vatican. by the re-
ligious superiors of Archbishop Sbar-
retti on the one hand and by a legal
representative Of the United States
government on the other. In such
case it has been suggested that Gov.
ernor Taft might stop at Rome on his
return by the eastward route to the
Philippines. This propositic-4 is un-
derstood to be strongly urged by Arch
bishop Ireland and Archbishop O'Gor-
man, who would possibly, in the event
Of it's adoption, accompany the first
representative Of the United States
government to visit the vatican in an

the administration will decide as be-
tween these conflicting propositions
before the department from Washing

Washington, March 2S.-While no
policy has been defined as to the
course this government will pursue

yesterday it progressed 50 far that

FUTURE RELATIONS WITH CUBA.
President Sends vMessase-Asked
for Appropriations for DipIo-
matte Officials.

Washington, March 28-The presi-
Congress, which contained in part:
To the Congress of the United States:
T comm.Ad to the Congress timely
of measures for main
tanning diplomatic and consular rep
resentatives in Cuba and for carry
ing out the provisions of the act max
ing appropriation for the support OF
the army for the fiscal year ending
June 80. 1902, approved March 2, 1901,
reading as follows:
(Here follow the provisions of thu
so called Plat amendment).
The message then continues IN
part: II am advised by the secretary
Of war that it is now expected that
the installation of the government OF
Cuba and the termination Of the mill
tary occupation Of that island by the
United States will take place on the
goth day Of May next.
II therefore recommend that pro-
vision be forthwith made, and the sal
aries appropriated to be immediate
available for:
"A-Envoy extraordinary and mill
lister plenipotentiary to the republic
of Cuba. $4,000.
"B-Secretary of the legation,
s., 1000.
"C-Second secretary OF the lega-
ton, $1,000.
"D-Consul general at Havana,
$4,000.
"E-Consuls at Cionfuegos, $4,000;
Santiago de Cuba, $4,000.
II do not recommend the present
restoration Of the consulates formerly
maintained at Baracon, Cardenas,
Matanzas. Nuevitas, Sagua la Grande
and San Juan de Los Remedies. The
commercial interests at those ports
heretofore have not been large. The
consular fees collected there during
the fiscal years 1862 aggregated
$752.1O. 1t is believed that the actual
needs of the six Offices named can be
efficiently subserved by agents under
the three principal consular Offices
until events may show the necessity
of erecting a full consulate at any
point"

WILL NOT OPPOSE RUSSIA.
Germany's Reply to Americas "Open
Door" Proposal"

Berlin, March 2S.-The Associated
Press has high authority for saying
that the government of the Unitei
States has been sounding Germany as
to how far the latter country would
go toward maintaining the open door
in China.
This inquiry was initiated prior to
the trip Of Admiral Prince Henry Of
Prussia to the United States. This
inquiry resulted in obtaining from
the very head of the German empire
the impression that Germany while
willing to take an identical attitude
with the other powers for the open
door, would not in a final instance,
oppose something that Russia really
desired.
This is the first principle of Ger
many's exterior policy. and it applies
fully to the West Asian question.

Senator-elect James III. Lane, of
Kansas, was invited to join the COM

no difficulty in organizing battalion
of 400 men, whom he called the from

them were from the far western
states. The commands acted in con-

Seeds of dissension had been sown
lor many years. Ambitions of un-
worthy men cultivated and developed
them. The modification of treason
marked the inauguration of Abraham
Lincoln. The national capital was a
hotbed of secession. The govern
Elent itself was not loyal to the peo-
pie which sustained it. The execu-
tive departments were depleted by
the designations of clerks who went
forth to aid those who would destroy
the government
Lieut.. Gen. Scott, venerable and
feeble, was one of the few upon
whom President Lincoln could posi-
lively rely The old general re-
ceived reliable information about the
middle of April, 1861, that on GER
tain night an attack would be made
upon this city by confederates then
encamped at Alexandria, Va, only
five miles distant. The city was
practically defenseless There was a
battalion of men at the arsenal, but
their commander was suspected of
disloyalty, and Gen. Scott could not
trust him. Afterwards he demon
strated his loyalty. President Lin
coin was greatly disturbed, and Gen.
Scott could devise no defense until
soldiers from northern states might
arrive, and they were exceedingly
slow, their movements having been
delayed by reasonable articles.
Gen. Scott at last devised the plan
which saved the capital, and proba-
bly, prevented the immediate recop-
milton of the confederacy by foreign
governments. The old general sent
for Ward H. Lamon, formerly Lin
coins law partner, but then the new
ly appointed United States marshal
for the District of Columbia. He re-
quested Lamon to organize, arm and
equip military force to be known
as the marshaFs guard, and to re-

heartily approved the plan. Each
one of them agreed to select ten
other reliable men and assemble at
the hotel at eight o'clock that night.
Lamon secured the keys to Willard
