AN AGREEMENT
conferees of Both Houses Reach an
Understanding on the Philippine
Government BiIl-coinase Question
Cut Out.

Washington. June 30.--The conferees
OF the two houses of congress on the
Philippine civil government bill have
practically reached an agreement. They
senate during The afternoon. The un-
derstanding provides for the elimina-
ton of the coinage question from the
bill, thus postponing that question to
another session for independent action.
The house provision for g territorial
legislature is retained in a modified
form. The democratic members of the
conference We're not present at the
forenoon session, but it is not believed
they will make an effort to change the
agreement.
Many provisions of the two bills con-
cerning currency, however, are returned
including the senate regulation for
subsidiary coinage. There is, however.
no effort in the present agreement to
fix the money standard. That is left for
the future. The house provision for
q legislative assembly is amended so as
TO require that its establishment shall
be preceded by a census. Two years
after this census the president is au
thorized to direct thru the Philippine
commission election of the legislature,
IL in his opinion the conditions justify
such a course. The house provision for
sale of the Philippine public lands was
accepted, but $500 acres is the largest
area to be disposed of to any one person
or combination.

result was that line of five miles

ing Disseminated Against.
Havana, June 30--At a large meet
Ing of negroes yesterday Senor Rendon
denied the negroes wanted to make
trouble. All they wanted was justice.
All Cubans, he added, should unite to
offset the Americans.
Senator Carreras said the Americans
needed Porto Rico, the Philippines, Ha-
waii and Cuba, to send their negroes
there. If the government showed in
capacity to deal fairly with the races
the negroes would show them at the
next elections who We're the masters.
Senor Don said the president sent
Senor Bravo to Santiago to talk with
the negroes regarding a supposed up
rising there, but he learned nothing.
The uprising of the negroes was per-
fectly peaceful. Those who were trying
to deny them their rights were point
ing to them as disturbers of the peace.
If the government could not deal with
the question of the races the republic
would be a failure.
General Sanchez said the police Of
Havana We're composed of whites, yet
more stealing was done by the police
than anybody else. Honest negroes
were refused admittance to the force.
Gualberto Gomez declared interven-
ton had changed the natural course of
evolution. He compared President
