FACTORY.

Washington, Oct. 29.-The long ex'
pected response of the Colombian gov
eminent to the proposition OF the state
department for the negotiation OF a
canal treaty, in accordance with the
Spooner act, has reached Washington
and was presented to the state depart
ment yesterday by MIR. Heron, secre'
tary for the Colombian legation. 1t
is impossible to learn the nature OF
this communication. but it Is known
that it is not altogether an unqualified
acceptance of the state departments
propositions. 1t Is, however, friendly
and dignifed in tone and does not
close the negotiations by any means,
although 1t unquestionably sets back
the date of final adjustment by open
ing new topics for argument. For one
thing the Colombian government is
now entirely dissatisfied with the sale
amount of the Panama to be made to
it by the United States under the
terms of the protocol, which it is pro-
posed to use as the basis for the
treaty. This sum is $1,000, 600. Co
lombia wants at least SO, 000, 900.
Moreover, the original proposal looked
to q wait for fourteen years before be-
ginning the payment OF annual rental,
the amount of which was to be then
Fixed by Mutual Agreement.
Colombia now asks the United
States to agree on a lump yearly pay
ment of 5000, 900, which will increase
the immediate cost Of the enterprise.
The Colombian government clings to
it's contention that it has no constitu-
tional authority to ALLEVIATE any Co.
lombian territory and reiterates that
the best 1t a do to meet the language
Of the Spooner act, which looks to
perpetual control by the United States
over the canal strip is to make a 100
year lease with a distinct stipulation
that the same shall be renewable by
the United States at the expiration Of
the first century.
One obstacle which it is believed
will interfere some with the resump-
ton of negotiations of the treaty is
the antagonism aroused in Colombia
by the conduct of American naval Of
Acers during the revolutionary move
nents there. These are declared to
have been bitterly resented in Bogota,
where it was felt the American off,
GERS had exceeded their authority in
interfering with the transporting of
Colombian soldiers across the 18th.
railway right which the Co,
officials have asserted is
guaranteed them by the treaty.

Gen. Sumner 10 Preparing His Plans
For an Active Campaign.

Gen. Sumner 10 Preparing His Plans
For an Active Campaign.
Manila, Oct. 2S.-Gen. Sumner has
returned to Camp Wears, Island Of
Mindanao, where he is preparing for
tho campaign against the rebellious
sultan of Bacolod. He anticipates q
lively opposition. He will carry on
the campaign on lines similar to those
of the operations against the Maciu
Moros, using his artillery whenever
possible and saving his infantry. The
Moros in the vicinity of Lake Lanao
now express friendship for the Amer
leans, and are offering to work on
the military roads that Gen. Sumner
Is constructing. The constabulary,
under the leadership of an army sig
nal man, during the absence OF the
inspector, discovered a plot and raided
the headquarters of the Katipunan,
killing the so-called general and
colonel and capturing a captain. All
the records Of the society and lists of
the members in the province of Pam
panga, Batan and Bolocan were
seized.
Cholera Gains Strong Foothold.
The cholera is gaining a strong foot
hold on tho Island Of Mindanao. 1t is
expected to spread there, as 1t has
elsewhere in the islands. The disease
continues to be bad In the province Of
Iloilo, Island of Panay, but 1t is light
elsewhere. It has disappeared from
Manila. The cases reported up to
date exceed 100, 900.
Agriculture in the islands, already
impaired on account of the war,
rinderpest and the cholera, has been
further injured by locusts. These in
sects have appeared In many places
and are working serious injury to tho
crops. The advent of locusts, togeth-
er with the fall in the price of silver,
renders the business and industrial
prospect in the Philippines gloomy.
The Chinese now control the rice
situation and r smashing the Eng
lish and Spanish pool with the aid of
China guilds. The wretched agricul-
tural conditions are causeing
Poor Trade Prospects
for next year. The Philippine com
mission has decided to devote the sum
of $66, 900, the profit of the govern
ment sales Of rice under Gen. Bells
administration, including the profits
derived from the concentration vii
lagos in Batangas, La Guna and Min
doro, to the purchase of food to be dis
tributed to the poor through the
agency of the civil officials in the
provinces mentioned. The general
suffering among the natives is the
natural result of the wal and pesti-
lence. Permanent relief cannot be
expected until 1904, when it is thought
agriculture will revive. Gen. Bell,
with the aid of the chief of the agri-
cultural bureau, has secured an ap-
preparation for the purchase of seeds
and machinery, and is taking great
pains to instruct the natives in Amer
lean methods of farming. His SOL
diers have discarded their guns for
plows.

During the progress of the meeting
Mr.. Mitchell, as the representative OF
the miners, presented q copy OF the
original declaration Of the. miners as
forwarded by the Shamokin conven-
ton, as the basis Of the demands OF
the miners. This demand is first, Tor
an increase of 20 per cent in wages,
OF those not engaged by the day; sec.
ond, a reduction Of 20 per cent in
working hours Of those engaged by
the day; third, the payment for coal

- rth, a wage agreement between the
operators and miners for an adjust
ment of wages.
Mr.. Baer, on the part of the coal
operators, took exception to Mr..
Mitchells appearance before the COM
mission as a representative of the
mineworkers' union, but said he had
no objection to his presence as a rep
r%esentative Of the strikers in an indi-
vidual capacity.
The commission made no attempt to
settle the point, but 1t was apparent
the question of recognition of the
union would be an important and
knotty point to the arbitrator.

London, Oct. 29.-The report cabled
from the United States that the prince
and princess of Wales probably would
visit the st. Louis exposition in 1904,
created much interest here. The
news occupied q prominent place in
all the afternoon papers. Surprise
was expressed in official circles at the
question being publicly discussed at
all. At York house, the residence of
the prince and princess of Wales, a
representative of the Associated Press
was informed that nothing was Of

inquiries In other quarters the Asso-
ciated Press learned that while no Of
fetal invitation had been extended
the matter had been unoficially pre-
sented to the king, who returned a
polite noncommittal reply.
