OUTLOOK PAID
TO BOOM
CUBAN SCHEME

Washington, June 2S. - President
Roosevelt has definitely decided to call
a special session of the Senate for No.
vember II to consider a Cuban reci-
prOCity treaty which was recently ne
gotiated by Assistant Secretary OF
state Hill, representing this Govern
ment, and Senior Quesada, representing
Cuba. The Republican leaders of the
Senate who have been consulted by the
President have all assented to the
proposition of returning to Washington
one month earlier than the opening OF
the regular session. BY this means the
President hopes to create the impress
sion that Cuban reciprocity has not
been abandoned.
Though the War Department pro-
lesses entire ignorance on the subject
Of Cuban expenditures under General
Wood, on the ground that the accounts
are not yet made up, facts are coming
TO light showing how attempts were
| made to influence public opinion in this
country in favor OF reciprocity" II Is
now definitely known, for instance, that
several correspondents of leading Am
erican newspapers, including the New
York Herald and Sun and the Philadel-
phia Press, were employed by General
Wood. Vouchers showing that these
correspondents were paid monthly for
a term of at least six months have been
produced, apparently from the same
mysterious source that produced the
famous Thurber voucher, which Gen
eral Wood was forced to acknowledge
as genuine, and which Secretary Root,
to save Wood. acknowledged he had
approved. Another interesting little
voucher has turned up showing that
/ General Wood took the funds of Cuba
wherewith to pay for 4i3 copies of the
Outlook containing an article on the
sugar tariff, written by him. which
copies were sent to members of Con-
gress

TAFT AND THE POPE

Rome. July 1.-The Civil Governor
of the Philippine Islands, Judge Will
liam II. Taft, has cabled to Washing
ton the terms of the note to the Nati-
can on the subject of the disposition OF
the friars' lands in the islands, which
was compiled yesterday at the confer
enCe held between Governor Taft, Ma
jor Porter of the Office of the Judge
Advocate General of the Army, Judge
James F. Smith Of the Supreme Court
of the Philippines and Bishop O'Gor-
man of Sioux Falls. If the terms are
approved the note will be delivered to-
night.
Father Santiago Paya, provincial OF
the Dominican order in the Philippine
Islands. who has been in Rome for sew
eral months past, living at the institute
which formerly prepared the Spanish
missionary students for their labors in
the Philippine archipelago, has been
ordered by the Vatican to draw up a
plan for the transformation of the in
stitute into a training school for the
native Filipino clergy who are destined
partially TO replace the friars when
the agreement between the Vatican and
Judge Taft concerning their withdraw
al shall have been concluded.
Washington, July 1.-The news from
Rome received at the War Department
/ the shape of daily cablegrams from
Governor Taft is generally encourag-
ing. 1t is said that, while no details
can be given out for publication, 1t is
evident that they are proceeding with
the greatest activity, principally in the
shape OF verbal exchanges, though, for
the sake OF the record, these are gene
rously supplemented by written notes
showing in condensed form the sub
stance of what has been said 1t is
stated that the notes fail to show that
any obstacle has been encountered.

A MOB AFTER HIM

A Childlike and bland stranger on
these shores came near to getting into
piiikia yesterday afternoon at the
hands of a Palama mob. Mounted Pa
trolman Ed. Duvaucheiie says that he
came past house in Paiama near King
street and found great mob gathered
around. 1t consisted of representa-
tives of the different natiOnalities and
races of Palama's polyglot population
Every man, woman and child was arm
ed in some fashion, and it was evident
that whoever it was who had incurred
the mob's displeasure would have hot
time.
On inquiring DuvauChelle found out
that the crowd was waiting for thief
who was supposed to ne under tho
house they were guarding. Duvau
Chelle cTawled in under the house and
found a very much frightened white
man crOuChing in corner. He was
covered with cobwebs and dirt and was
very pale. He explained to Duvau
chelle that he had gone under the
house to relieve himself, when some
one, who had taken him for thief, had
called the crowd together. He was
very much afraid OF the wild people
outside.
Suvauchelle soon convinced himself
that the man was speaking the truth
and led him out and through the
crowd in safety. The stranger quick
ly skipped, glad to escape from the
avenging citizens of Palama.
