Four of the Five Cardinals Sustai,
His Views.

ROME, June 16-The complete success of
the negotiations between Judge Taft. gov
ernor of the Philippines, and the Vatican

Islands appears assured, four out of the five
cardinals composing the subcommittee of
cardinals favoripg the governors proposals
Cardinal Steinhuber, a Jesuit, opposes
them.
After the completion of the negotiations
an acute conflict is expected between the
Vatican officials ana the Filipino religious
orders regarding the disposition of the
money which the United States will pay for
the lands. The Vatican considers that the
money ought to be given to the propa-

care and oversight of foreign missions

today was not as great success as was
expected by the union. Information as to

difficult to be had, but it is generally be-

Mr.. T. A. Ferris, cashier of the
Citizens National Bank, returned
last evening from Cuba where he
had been with the excursion of
bankers from Galveston.
When a reporter for this paper
called on him at his office in the
bank this morning Mr.. Ferris said
he was perfectly delighted with his
trip. Havana, he says, is one of
the prettiest cities he ever visited
and the climate is simply delightful.
He says the city far exceeded his ex-
pectations, evidences of wealth and
prosperity are on every hand; not "a
beggar was seen in the city. Mr..
Ferris says that under the American
rule the sanitary condition of the
streets cannot be surpassed any
where: the streets are kept perfectly
clean, street sweepers are at work
day and night and the sewers are
disinfected every night, During
their stay in Havana the bankers
were rendered reception at Gen.
Woods palace, he being absent at
Washington Gen. Scott acted in his
place. Miss Alice Roosevelt, who
was a guest at the palace, assisted
Mrs. Wood in entertaining the VS.
itors. Mr.. Ferris says the palace is
the most elegant mansion he was
ever in. He also visited Gen. Wey-
| Ier's summer mansion out in the
horticultural district, which has not
been occupied since Weyler's re-
turn to Spain. Mr.. Ferris visited
several large sugar and tobacco
plantations ana saw the natives
cutting and curing the fragrant
weed. He also went through one or
two big cigar factories in the city.
Land, he says, ranges in price from
81 30 to $500 per acre, owing to the
| distance it is located from the city
Mr.. Ferris says he met Alex Will
liams and found him doing well in
| the service of the United States
government. He is connected with
the pay-master's department and
occupies an office in the palace. Mr..

/ praises of Havana in particular and
