BRITONS STILL APPREHENSIVE.

covering a variety of points, indicative Of
apprehension that, despite assurances to
the contrary the shipping combine menaces
not only Great Britains naval resources
but her commercial interests. Further in
formation will be asked of the ministers as
to whether the British companies enter
the combine on precisely the same terms
as the American and German lines, and
whether the British companies will be re-
quired to disclose the terms of their agree
ment with the American syndicate. The
pessimists refuse to credit the assurances
that the Atlantic combine has no ulterior
purpose to sap the naval strength of Great
Britain. Mr.. Morgan is held up as a mon
ster dealing reeling blows to ill-organized
British commerce and calmly organizing
earthquakes with designs TO swallow up
the world.
The ST James Gazette wants a re-enact-
ment of the navigation laws and falls foul
o. the airy indifference of the president of
the Board of Trade, Gerald Balfour, as in
dicated hy his replies in the House OF
Commons TO questions on the subject.
The Westminster Gazette takes a calmer
view. 1t thinks the combine Will not es-
sentially change the character of British
trade, and says Whether Great Britain
likes it or not, the trust movement is part
of the evolution of modern business and
little chance of resisting it. The shipping
companies merely propose to adopt a char
acteristic American organization. under
the guidance OF Americans, who are past
masters in that particular line of business.

MUST WAIT FOR BACK PAY
CLAIMS OF CUBAN PATRIOTS CANNOT
BE SETTLED AT ONCE.
Conference Mt BayamO Between Pres
ident-EIect Palma and Former
Insurgent Officers.

NEW YORK, April 26-An important
conference has been held between Presi-
dent-elect Palma and several generals who
participated in the late insurrection, says
a Bayamo, Cuba, dispatch to the Tribune.
The meeting was held at the request of the
President-elect to obtain the views of for
mer Cuban soldiers on the question OF pay
for their services. Those who attended
were Generals Rabi Lora, Galcedo and
Capote, representing the province of San
tiago, which was the pivotal point of the
rebellion This was the first opportunity
General Palma had for personally gaugfng
the sentiment of these people on this ques-
ton, which will be one of considerable i'm
portance. The result of the consultation
was entirely satisfactory to the President
elect, all the conferees acquiescing i'm the
plans outlined by him. He is opposed 10
paying the army Immediately. His propo-
sition is to give first attention to the agri-
culture of the island. BY fostering this
industry, he argues, will be obtained the
wages of the army. The constitution of
Cuba and the Platt amendment provide
that the budget and interest of the in
sular debt must first be taken care of from
a loan that will be negotiated.
General Palma said that it must first be
determined who is really entitled to be
paid, which means overhauling of the
rolls The amount now asked Is about
$50 600 coo. which is considered far too much.
IL is believed that Sl5.OOO.O00 will suffice to
settle all legitimate claims. Perhaps two
years will be required to settle in full. The
President-elect also proposes to have the
government take care OF those who were
crippled in war or are invalids as a re-
suit of the war Provision will be made for
the widows. The question Of pensions will
not be favorably received.
The body of General Palmas mother,
buried by him thirty-two years ago near
the Cauto river, has just been removed TO
this city for reinterment. II placed in
a coffin and brought in by two hundred
neighbOrs of the President-elect. all mount
ed The village priest headed the long pro-
cession which received il. Behind il walked
General Palma, Senior Quesada and five
hundred citizens all with barred heads. 1t
was a particularly solemn ceremony, and
the President-elect was as grief-stricken as
ii his mother had died yesterday. Mass
was sung in the same little church which
he attended when boy.
At Manzanillo the American flag was
flag hOsted in its stead. The American
post was abandoned all troops embarked
