Deseoso el sefior Villaverde de que
el proyecto de ley sobre Ell cambio con-
tenido en- su folleto que Sc piopone
presentar las Cortes, sea una obra en-
que elaboren todos los elementos poll
ticos para perfeccionarla. y teuga ca
racter, no de partido, sino nacional, te-
nemos noticiaS de que ha ofrecido la
presidencia de la Comision que haya
de dar dictamen sobre dlCho proyecto
al Sr. Morel, el cual parece dispuestc
aCeptarla.
Esto supondra que Sc eliza una Co.
mission especial para ell pro- ecto, en- vez
de encomendarlo la ComiS. On general

Hablando del mismo asunto ha dicho
el Sr. Vilavsrde:
"No pienso abordar ell problema a
pedazos, sino de una vez cuando este
armada de todos los medios y recursos
que rne ha de proporcionar el proyectu
de ley, 81 Sc aprueba, para realizarlo y
obtener ell eXito que espero, que Sc
pod1a Comprometer con medidas anti i
cipadas y fragmentarias, mucho mas
cuando mis- planes tienen enemigos in
teresados en- Ell fracaso y que 10 han de
procurar.
Alguien me ha animado a hacer al
go por adelantado ahora; pero no 10
hago por esta razon.
Tengo fe en- mi plan y no qaiero
comprometerlo, per falta de los medios
todos que su planteamiento exige.
Sc ha creido por algunos que estaba
viva la autorizacion para ell emprestito
de Almaden que obtuvo Navarro Re-
verter; pero, en- todo case, este llama
do empreStito, que no es mas que TN

habiendose declarado en- alza resuel-

ros nuestra deuda amortizabe el ali
cien!e de obtener mayores ganancias
adquiriendola y conservandola 4 medi-
da que ell valor de Ia peseta siga au-
mentando tambien.
Deseo hacer una obra con Ell concur

clones de eXito.

Philippine Government to Acquire
Friar's Lands.


Washington, Nov. 12.--Advices
reaching ,he war department from
Manila indicate that before he sails
for the United States on Dec. %, Gov
ernor Taft will have succeeded in
settling one of the most vexatious
problems connected with the acquisi-
ton of the Philippines, namely, the
adjustment of the claims of the friars
for their extensive property holdings
in the islands. Negotiations to this
end have been in progress at Manila
between Governor Taft and Mgr.
Guido, the papal delegate, ever since
the governors return to the island
from Rome. The main obstacle to
settlement appears to have been an
issue between the papal delegate and
the religious orders as to the proper
tion of the purchase money to be paid
by the insular government that was to
be turned over TO Rome The friars
naturally desired to receive the major
part of the allotment and when they
learned that the church insisted upon
certain sum they sought to make
good their own proportion by increas-
ing the sum total of the price de-
manded for the lands. This ran the
total up to about $14,000,000. sum
entirely beyond any figure which the
insular government was willing to
consider. Realizing that with Gov
ernor Taft's departure the chances of
a settlement would become more re-
mote the church authorities brought
pressure to bear upon the friars with
the result that the insular government
expects to be able to acquire their
entire holdings in the Philippines for
a sum approximating s6000,000.

COLOMBIA SHUT OUT.
Future Canal Negotiations Will Be
With Panama.

Washington, Nov. 12-It is stated
here on authority that it is too late
for Colombia to make any effort to
resurrect the canal treaty with the
United States and beyond preventing
hostile clash between Colombia and
the new republic of Panama the pro
posed visit of General Reyes to Pan
anna will be without result. The
same authority points out that the
United States government, having rec
OgniZed Panama as an Independent
state, cannot now proceed to nego-
tiate with Colombia on any terms for
canal rights in a state over which
Colombia exercises no political con-
troll, so any future canal negotiation.
will be between the United States
government and the government Of
Panama.
Mr.. Tower, our ambassador at Ber-
lin. has cabled the state department
that he has been requested by Baron
Richthofen, the German foreign secre-
tary, TO inform the Washington gov
ernment that the report that Germany
intended to become involved in the
isthmian situation is entirely without
foundation and that nothing is known
In Berlin of the intention of Colombia
to appeal to Emperor William for as
sistance as was alleged in recent in
terview by the Colombian consul gem
eral at New York Mr. Tower adds
that he was further assured by the
foreign secretary in a most earnest
and sincere manner that the question
of Germany's interfering in Panama
simply did not exist.

REPUBLICANS WHO FOUGHT Gu
BAN RECIPROCITY TO VOTE
WITH THEIR PARTY.
SPEAKER OF HOUSE so INFORMED
BELIEVE 1T IMPOlITIC TO SHOW
DIVIDED FRONT so EARLY
IN THE SESSION.

washington, Nov 12.-Speaker Can
non has been assured by one of the
most prominent leaders Of the oppo
sition to Cuban reciprocity in the last
congress that there would be little OIL
no opposition among Republicans to
the bill carrying into effect the Cuban
reciprocity treaty. He told the speak
er that the attempt to form an oppo
sition had failed and that the Repub
lieans would not join the Democrats in
voting the Morris differential amend
ment on the bill.
The speaker was assured that the
sentiment among the Republicans was
to stand by the speaker; that it would
be impolitic to have a division of the
party at the beginning of the ses'
sion.

FATHERED BY HANSBROUGH.
Bill introduced to Repeal Timber and
Stone Act.

Washington, Nov 12.-Senator
Hansbrough has introduced in the
senate bill which, by implication,
repeals the timber and stone act un-
der which land is now acquired at
$3.50 an acre regardless of its real
value. The measure is intended to
cure defects in existing laws, put a
quietus upon speculation in public
timber lands and an end to the frauds
which recently have grown into a
national scandal. 1t was referred to
the committee on public lands, of
which the author Is chairman.
If Senator Hansbrough'S measure
becomes a law all the timber land on
the public domain will be withdrawn
from entry and the government will
enter upon the policy of disposng of
its timber at its market value. One
provision in the bill prohibits the en-
try of these lands under the home
stead or old land laws.

sion to thank M. Delcasse for the
friendly and sympathetic attitude OF

The numerous informal conferences
held between M. Delcasse and General
Porter have contributed largely to-
