Negotiations Regarding Philippine
Lands Proceeding slowly.
WASHINGTON, June 24.-Secretary
Root declines to discuss the details of
Governor Taft's negotiations at Rome
until they are complete. They are pro-
ceeding steadily and in the usual
course, each side seeking to make the
best possible bargain, with the result
that there have been several exchanges
since the original proposition of Gov.
ernor Taft touching the frlars' lands.
These are reported by the governor
to Secretary Root by cable almost dali
ly, with full explanatory comments by
himself and suggestions to govern the
framing of counter proposals. The last
report from him came to Washington
Sunday night in the shape Of a copy of
the proposal Of the committee of cardi-
nails, and the answer to this was dis
patched yesterday afternoon. 1t is said
at the war department that, while
there naturally have been some wide
differences between the negotiators,
there has been no such thing as an ulti-
matum or serious hitch, and there is no
reason to doubt that satisfactory
agreement will be reached

King Albert's Funeral.

DRESDEN, Saxony, June 24.-The
funeral of King Albert of Saxony, who
died June 10, which took place here
last evening, was most impressive. The
Catholic court church, where the funer-
al service was held, was draped in
black. The coffin Of the king was COW
cred with a red satin pail. At the serv-
ice the nave of the church was occu-
pied by members of the diplomatic
corps here and extraordinary missions
to Dresden to attend the kings funer-
al. The royal mourners arrived at the
church in long procession. They in
cluded King George AID the princes of
saxony, Emperor William of Germany
and Emperor Francis Joseph Of Aus
tria, the Grand Duke Of Baden and
others. The widowed Queen Karola
and the empress of Germany, together
with the Saxon princesses, occupied
two pews In the church.
